ILL SEE THERE IS AN EAGLE SHAPE ROAD NETWORK. I AM GLAD TO SAY THAT ILOILO IS THE EAGLE CITY OF THE PHILIPPINES. NOT TO FORGET MONKEY EATING EAGLE IS OUR NATIONAL BIRD. EAGLE IS SYMBOLIC FOR STRENGTH AND VISION. WHICH ILOILO OR THE ILONGGO SPIRIT HAS BEEN THE CITY OF FIRST... A PIONERING CITY FOR INDUSTRY, COMMERCE, EDUCATION, LEADERSHIP IN POLITICS AND NATIONAL GOVERNANCE, RELIGIOUS LIFE. INDEED ILOILO IS THE EAGLE CITY. SOARING HIGH . ILOILO OUR CITY... OUR PRIDE.
EVERY DINAGYANG WE SEE THIS EAGLE STATUE IMPOSING IMAGE. BUT WE NEVER GIVE RECOGNITION TO ITS MORE PROLIFIC HISTORY.IT HAS BEEN A WITNESS IN ILOILO'S PAST GLORY WHEN IT WAS THE QUEEN CITY OF THE SOUTH. DURING THE PRE AMERICAN TIME UNTIL THE LATE 70'S. WE MUST COME TO REALIZE THAT OUR WINGS HAVE BEEN WOUNDED BADLY BY WRONG PAROCHIAL POLITICS AND BY SOME INTEREST GROUPS THAT HAVE SCARED AWAY INVESTORS AND UNFRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT AND SKY HIGH POWER RATES AND POOR WATER SUPPLIES. OUR CHEESE HAVE BEEN STOLEN OR I MAY SAY WE MISS THE BOAT. BUT NOW TIME HEALS ALL WOUNDS INDEED ILOILO IS BACK IN BUSINESS AND OUR WINGS IS READY TO SOAR AGAIN. WITH THE DYNAMIC LEADERSHIP WE HAVE NOW. WE WILL SEE THE GLORY OF ILOILO AGAIN. PADAYON ILOILO SA PAG PANGUNA, PADAYON SA PAGBAGO, PADAYON SA PAG-USWAG.
