Iloilo City is a city in the Philippines on the island of Panay in the Visayas. It is the provincial capital of the province of Iloilo.
Fresh mangos in season are heavenly. They're a luscious yellow and very juicy. They're for sale at street stands and public markets. Young corn is barbecued by street vendors and is also excellent.
The best Chinese food and dimsum (all authentic Cantonese) can be found at David's Teahouse in SM City.
The Kruatai Thai restaurant in SmallVille has excellent Thai style food. Not all authentic Thai, and not all that spicy, but 2 thumbs up nevertheless. They also serve real Singha beer!
A nice slab of western style meat can be eaten at Bourbon's, also in SmallVille.
Other popular eating places are Freddy's (Sarabia), Del Rio, Ocean City (Chinese style food), Tatoy's (native chicken), Day's hotel (buffet).
THE most popular hangout at the moment is MO2 in SmallVille.
Across the road is the Pirate's bar, which looks nice from the outside, but is not so nice on the inside.
A little bit further is Paprika, which has one of the best Iloilo bands playing 4 times a week.
The German Bavaria restaurant, close to Jaro plaza, serves real German Weizenbeer. (But their food is not so nice anymore, since the German owner left.)

Pagadian City is a 1st class city in the province of Zamboanga del Sur, Philippines. It is the capital city of the province, and the regional center of the Zamboanga Peninsula. According to the 2000 census, it has a population of 162,515 people in 28,027 households. It is nicknamed the "Little Hong Kong of the South".
Pagadian, a former barrio of the town of Labangan of the lone province of Zamboanga, became a municipality on March 23, 1937 through Executive Order 77 of the late President Manuel L. Quezon. Its ascendancy was due to the eager initiative of then Assemblyman Juan S. Alano. Hon. Jose Sanson was the first appointed mayor of Pagadian. After his brief tenure as town "Presidente", a regular election was held with the Hon. Francisco Consolacion becoming the first elected municipal mayor.
In 1942, Japanese forces entered the town of Pagadian.
In 1945, the liberation by the Philippine Commonwealth troops entered in the town of Pagadian, made up mostly by helped to the local guerrilla forces, attacked and defeated the Japanese troops stationed in the town, which was to be known as the Battle of Pagadian.

Pagadian became the capital town of Zamboanga del Sur which was itself inaugurated on September 17, 1952. Pagadian became a chartered city on June 21, 1969 through R.A. 5478, being the third city in Zamboanga Peninsula. On 2004, despite Zamboanga City government's opposition to the transfer, Pagadian became the Regional Center for Region IX- Zamboanga Peninsula and it is one of the more competitive cities in Mindanao.
