Iloilo City Rises will be launched in Iloilo City on May 20. Ushered by a kicker, Padayon sa Pag-uswag, the 256-page, 9” x 12” coffee-table book narrates in words and pictures Iloilo City’s evolution.

ILOILO CITY RISES

A project of Mayor Jerry P. Treñas, this book serves as a legacy for Ilonggos to remind them of the dramatic developments in the last 20 years, which have transformed Iloilo into a prosperous and vibrant metropolis as well as a center of the arts, culture, and heritage in the Visayas.

The book is co-published by the Iloilo Festivals Foundation Inc. (IFFI) and Kasingkasing Press. Hardbound and softbound copies will be available after the launch.

Book orders are being accepted by IFFI. Pre-order discounted rates are PhP2,150.00 for hardbound (regular price is PHP2,700.00) and PhP1,250.00 for softbound ( regular price is PhP1,600.00). Please further information, please call 0960-420-2129 or email
