Iloilo: A Rich and Noble Land

The book takes the reader on a tour through Iloilo’s history, economics, food, language, architecture, literature, sports, cosmology, resorts and much more. It tells why this former royal province of the south became a commoner and how it is now regaining its crown as Queen City of the South. The book provides attractions of present-day Iloilo such as its tourism sites, particularly the Santa Barbara Golf Club, the oldest golf club in the Philippines, which is celebrating its 100th year. The colorful volume also gives helpful information on retirement havens and investment opportunities.

Sixteen writers, mostly Ilonggos, wrote the various articles edited by Anita Feleo, photography by Sonny Yabao and book design by Felix Mago Miguel. The Editorial Board for this Iloilo book project consisted of: Oscar M. Lopez, Rex C. Drilon II, Narzalina Z. Lim, Raul Rodrigo, Dario J. Pagcaliwagan and Dulce Festin-Baybay.
