C. ECONOMY
Economic Structure
Iloilo City is one of the country’s major economic powerhouses that are still anchored on the
agricultural economy of Panay Island and Western Visayas. It still serves as a commercial and trading
center for the region's agricultural and fisheries produce. Notwithstanding this however, Iloilo City now
also maintains a robust economy that currently competes not only with the rest of the country’s other
emerging economic boom towns but also with the rest of Southeast Asia in terms of business process
outsourcing and the call center industries. The City is complete with port facilities, an advanced
telecommunications, infrastructure, retail and trading, business process outsourcing , a robust banking and
financial sector. Wholesale and retail industry topped all business classifications from the year
2006.2007,2008, and 2010. It is apparent that there are no mining and quarrying establishments in the
City.
Land Transport
Iloilo City is a very busy metropolis that currently faces a growing problem of vehicular traffic
congestion. Seventy percent (70%) of the City’s daily traffic volume can likely be found in the District of
Jaro while 30% passes through Molo and Mandurriao. This is primarily because the most number of
public utility vehicles come from rural areas outside the City. There are 51,337 motor vehicles registered
in Iloilo City for 2010. There are presently seven (7) bus- and jeepney terminals in the City. Six are
privately established and operated while one is City-Owned but privately-operated. These include the
Mohon Terminal in Brgy. Mohon Arevalo, the Mandurriao Terminal in Brgy. Hibao-an, Mandurriao, San
Roads
50
As stated in the 2010 Iloilo City Socio- Economic Profile, 202,483 kilometers of concrete, asphalt
and gravel roads facilitate land transport in Iloilo City, with 68.58 kilometers under national roads, and
151,903 kilometers City/ barangay roads. Road networks in Iloilo City are made up for only radial roads,
all of which originates from the City Proper of Iloilo City. The City Government however has proposed
the Iloilo Circumferential Road (C1) to alleviate heavy traffic. The most efficient solution, however, is
Bridges
Based on the 2011 annual report of the City Engineer’s Office a total of fourteen (14) local city
bridges were listed, of these eight (8) are concrete bridges and six(6) are of wooden construction. The
bridges’ widths vary from 1.20 meters in width (as the case for wooden bridges) to 8.90 meters ( as the
case for concrete bridges). The length varies from 23.00 meters of wooden bridges to 180 meters of
concrete bridges. The smallest bridge constructed by the city is found at Brgy. Habog-habog which is a
1.90m x 26.70m wooden bridge that crosses the Batiano River in Molo and which only serves
pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles and tri-sikads. The biggest bridge constructed by the city is a 8.90m x
137m concrete bridge found in Brgy. Rizal crosses the Iloilo River.
Air Transport
The Iloilo Airport in Mandurriao, Iloilo City became unable to support the increasing passenger
and cargo requirements for the locality. The national government built the New Iloilo International
Airport in Bangaray Duyan-Duyan Cabatuan which is 20 to 30 minutes away from Iloilo City. It is
classified as the fourth busiest airport in the country in terms of its passenger and cargo traffic, after the
top three International Airports- Ninoy Aquino International Airport, Mactan-Cebu International Airport
and Davao International Airport. The new Iloilo International Airport was built in International Standards
and was recognized as Class 1 by the Civil Authority of the Philippines. The airport complex consists of a
51
Sea Transport
Iloilo City has the third largest port in the country after Manila and Cebu. Its port serves as a facility to
transport goods and passengers in and out of Iloilo City and Panay Island. The fine natural harbor has
three entry points, one of which was utilized for international and domestic cargo operations and other
two are used for inter-island cargo and passenger operations. The Iloilo River Wharf which has a total
length of 2 kilometers winding through the heart of the city, Fort San Pedro Port (formerly Old Foreign
Pier) consisting of a 634 -meters quay with a domestic passenger’s terminal, and Iloilo Commercial Port
Complex with a 22.20 hectares land area and 526- meters quay catering an average of three (3) foreign
vessels per month and two (2) domestic vessels per day.
Power
Power supply in the city is currently maintained through the recently-constructed coal-fired power plant
in Brgy. Ingore, Lapaz that generates 162 megawatts of cheaper and more consistent supply. The recent
addition to the city’s vital infrastructure and utilities facilities has greatly contributed to an improved
environment for business and enterprise development not only for the city but also for the entire Western
Visayas region. As a result of the improved power supply new investments and constructions were
Water
The Metro Iloilo Water District (MIWD) is the sole distributor of potable water supply in Iloilo City. This
utilities provider has an output capacity of 39,622 cubic meters of water per day. This can adequately
supply the water demand of Iloilo City which is pegged at 23,591 cubic meters per day. There are 22,468
connections out of 180 barangays, only 171 of them are reached by the MIWD water connections of 95%
coverage of Iloilo City’s barangays. This is an improvement from 167 households of the previous year.
52
But in terms of population served, the water service provider reaches only 157,276 which are merely 37%
Communications
Communication plays a vital role in society as a key to economic development. Due to the emerging
telecommunication companies. These are four telephone system companies that operate in Iloilo City,
Globelines, PLDT, RCPI/ Bayantel and Portable Telephones Interchange are the major providers of both
long-distance domestic and international communication services. The City Proper makes use of the most
telephone systems since major establishments such as hotels, shopping centers, universities and
restaurants are located. Mandurriao, on the other hand, has no existing telephone company operating and
it is suggested that Telephone Systems should be provided since areas are developing in the vicinity.
Drainage
Iloilo City is a floodplain that is made up of 90 percent of its total landmass with a low elevation of 2.63
meters above sea level. The low-lying characteristics of Iloilo City make it vulnerable not only to
flooding but also to perennial inundation. Heavy rainfall events in the 1994 typhoon caused 80% of the
City submerged in water, the huge volume of cascading waters from watersheds tributaries to erode
denuded river banks along the way. Collapsed embankments and eroded land felled trees that were
subsequently swept by the strong river currents onto the footing of bridges downstreams, creating a
Sewerage
Like most other cities in the Philippines, Iloilo City has no sewer system and relies on the discharge of
waste water through existing drainage lines. The combined sewer drainage system is being maintained
across all residential, and most commercial and institutional establishments in the city. Discharges
however come from three chambered septic tanks which are now being required by the City Engineer’s
53
Office. The 11 kilometer long Iloilo River that cuts across five of the city’s six districts currently acts as
the city’s main sewer line as combined sewer drainage line empty wastewater along its embankments.
The City shall maintain its private sector-managed garbage collection services which deal with a total
daily waste generation rate of about 300 tons per day. This waste is generated by both resident and
daytime populations that produce solid waste at 8kgs./chiat/day. The Calajunan Sanitary Landfill will
soon be constructed according to DENR standards and will continue to only accommodate residuals.
Barangays will continue to collect and process recyclables as provided for by RA 9003 and a city-wide
waste segregation and recycling campaigns will be sustained the city shall continue to explore affordable
technologies at better managing solid waste and waste-to-energy PPP proposals are currently being
Currently, there are three (3) major ports in Iloilo City: Fort San Pedro Port, Iloilo River Wharf (IRW),
and International Commercial Port Complex (ICPC). The boat terminal in Ortiz Street as jump-off point
to Guimaras, wherein boats carry passengers going to theMunicipality of Jordan, the provincial capital.
The other boat terminal, located at Parola, also serves passengers traveling to another particular the town
of Buenavista. Numerous ferryboat terminals along Muelle Loney accommodate passengers going to
Bacolod City and other cities in the Visayas. There are at least eight daily trips to Bacolod City.
Iloilo plays a crucial role in the urbanization of the Metro Iloilo Guimaras Economic Development
Council established through presidential Executive Order No. 559 in August 2006 for local economic
development and tourism. The city supports and complements the functional roles and other socio-
economic activities of the neighboring MIGEDC municipalities of Oton, San Miguel, Sta. Barbara.
