Welcome to ILOVEILOILO, my blog featuring the Philippines southern charm. Yes, there are many other provinces in the Philippines, but a visit to Iloilo is surely an experience worth having.
My name is Inday Hami. Proud to be Ilongga. I love the artistic manifestations of Ilonggo culture, both traditional and popular. I’d like to share with you an art historico-cultural picture of Iloilo, its sights and smells, as we locals see it. (Didn't mean to make it sound scholarly; its my work base coming in.) This site aims to go beyond the typical tourist info to share with you well-researched information, honest impressions and tips for people interested to know more and experience Iloilo to the fullest.
Aside from my own musings, you will also come across features by colleagues, friends ,students and most especially, the "Ilonggo on the street" whom I will invite to share their own take on things Ilonggo. After all, I'm not a wikipedia of Iloilo, just a simple Ilongga who dearly loves the culture of her home. So let me build these pages and share Iloilo with you.
