The passenger ship operated by Trans-Asia Shipping Lines was from Cebu bound for Iloilo so there could be somebody I know on-board. Thankfully, the 107 passengers and 35 crew members [...]

Negros vs. Iloilo Football Match at Panaad Stadium

May 21, 2011

Tikal na kung tikal. The country’s best football players are the Ilonggos. That is excluding of course the Fil-foreigners who received better training and support.
