i have seen streamers of this across General Luna street. i hope it turns out as successful. Go Iloilo! =)
yeah, it’s all over the place. there is heavy promotion at the streets of the city, but i don’t know how the city government is advertising this event at other places like in manila, or even abroad, or targeting their preferred business investors or executives
yesterday the board said banks at iloilo has 50 billion pesos sitting idly in their accounts
imagine how we can improve the province with at least a quarter of that money of invested here
yeah, that would be a big capital for inspiring entrepreneurs here at Iloilo. if properly invested that can create thousands of jobs here i guess
