[edit] Lifestyle section

I went ahead and removed the "Lifestyle" section. It was poorly written, read like an advertisment, and was too rambling. If anyone considers adding it, give it a _big_ rewrite. Hotdogger 22:18, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

--Is Metro Iloilo already an approved parlance? According to the Philippine page, there is only Metro Manila and Metro Cebu.Ady001 16:20, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

That's a nice idea but I already removed some excessive and unencyclopedic content. For reasons, see below. --βritand&βeyonce (talk•contribs) 05:36, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Consider moving?

I think some of the information regarding the province of Iloilo should be moved to that wiki. It really needs more information. --JohnAriola 16:11, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mayor Jerry Trenas Criminal Case

It is TIME for groups to expose irregularities of Big Fishes. Without fight Iloilo would suffer. Imagine, there is so much poverty in this City, but the Mayor had high time to galivant to Taiwan and of course, these RISE could just sue him for petty RA 6713 violation. --Florentino floro 11:30, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Coal Plant suit against Trenas

I removed the section about the lawsuit filed against Trenas. It doesn't fit in an generic article about the city. It would be appropriate for an article on the politics of Iloilo or on Mayor Trenas. Here it just strikes me as a political jab.--Bruce Hall 02:42, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Content removal

These are the content I removed from the page:

[edit] subject for removal (suggestion)

might i ask if the iloilo provincial capitol picture be removed? though it is located in the city, the capitol is not representative of the city since iloilo city is a chartered city. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vinz 014 (talk • contribs) 05:02, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

I don't know much of Ilo-Ilo. If its not detrimental to remove that image, go on. --βritand&βeyonce (talk•contribs) 05:16, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
