Iloilo Investment Guide

M E S S A G E
Iloilo City today has metamorphosed into one of the most important business and
investment centers not only in Western Visayas but the entre Philippine archipelago.
In fact, despite the dreary economic outlook for most parts of the country, Iloilo City
remains a great magnet for investments because of its strategic geographical locaton,
the surfeit of highly-skilled labor, modern conveniences and facilites, and ideal peace
and order climate. Furthermore, the Iloilo City Government provides adequate incentves
to assist businesses during the various phases of their ventures.
The publicaton of this guide will present a defnitve perspectve of all the business and
trade opportunites available in Iloilo City. It includes essental informaton on startng a
business, and inducements to inspire prospectve investors to set up shop here.

This will not only serve as an indispensable guide for investors, but also as an indicator of
our peoples accomplishments in pushing Iloilo City forward to socio-economic stability
despite the current uncertaintes of a world in constant fux.
It is likewise important to menton that this publicaton is the result of a consequental
partnership between the Iloilo City Government and the private sector. We lef no stone
unturned in translatng the energy and industry of our metropolis into a language any
investor will easily understand.
This guide also gives an assessment of the citys capacity to provide a nurturing and
dynamic environment for its local enterprises and industries; as well as its ability to
efciently use its resources in the context of sustainable development and in raising the
standard of living of our residents.
I am confdent this publicaton will prove an accurate index valuable to those who wish to
make Iloilo City their home or their base for business operatons or both.

Metro Iloilo Water District is one waterworks that has undergone several evolut ons since its birth in 1926 unt l the 1970s. The
system was managed and controlled by dif erent administrat on, namely the Iloilo Metropolitan Waterworks (IMWW), the Nat onal
Waterworks and Sewerage Authority (NAWASA), and the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS) unt l it was placed
under the control of Metro Iloilo Water District.
Twenty eight years af er it achieved a Full Time Equivalent, MIWD is challenged by the people of Iloilo City to meet the cont nuously
increasing demand for ef cient and sustainable water supply. The City Government right now is strongly pushing the MIWD leadership
to come up with an immediate mechanism that would ensure the addit onal 30,000 cubic meters daily water supply augmentat on on
top of its current daily supply capacity of 40,000 cubic meters. Amidst the odds, MIWD must strive to cont nue improving the system
so that it may be able to respond to the fast urban development of Iloilo City and the improvement of the ent re Iloilo province as
well.

The Iloilo Flood Control Project mitgates
food damage and inundaton such that it
creates a more sustainable urban community
by providing a safer and a more pleasant
living conditon for people in the urban area
of Iloilo City and its vicinity. This created a
more dynamic regional economy by providing
a food-free urban center.
The 4.75 kilometer Jaro Floodway, one of
the projects major components, is already
operatonal and is expected to provide relief
from fooding. Other components include the
improvement of the Aganan River in Pavia
town and Tigum River in Cabatuan.
The food control project channels foodwaters
from the Aganan and Tigum Rivers to the Iloilo
Strait to address the fooding problem in Iloilo
City and nearby towns.
The food control project likewise includes the improvement of the Jaro River
mouth, Iloilo river, Upper Ingore Creek and the constructon of the Carpenter,
Pagsanga-an, Anilao, Balabago, Buhang, and Bito-on Bridges.
It also includes the improvement of the Jaro River, constructon of La Paz foodway,
improvement of Dungon, Barangay Obrero-Mansaya and Rizal creeks.
The project is funded by a loan agreement between the Government of
the Philippines and Government of Japan thru Japan Bank for Internatonal
Cooperaton. (DPWH)

required for a frst class terminal. Among the amenites would be the Eco-park (to replace the Rotary Park) that would green the area
and provide an area for expansion of the Staton if it should ever need to expand. Although the Parola Port compound is sizeable, its
pier for docking is, however, not that long. It is efectvely good only for docking roughly seven boats at the same tme.

Recommended Opton:
Considering the already complex technical decisions that will stll have to be made for
the project as well as the all important development budget consideraton, this report
thus recommends Opton 1. Opton 1 approaches the Staton design in a straightorward
manner where each project feature tries to make use of whats there on site to minimize
cost. Hence, except from the mentoned extended pier with fendering for the large
tourist boat, most other works on the site will be traditonal constructon works. To avoid
the flling work for the depressed waterlogged area in the site, it shall be converted
instead into a lagoon that will add to the uniqueness of the Eco-park. In this opton,
the outriggers will contnue to use the river side docking facility with its improvements.
The Pre-Feasibility Study recommends the implementaton of Opton 1 for the Parola
terminal for the following reasons:
A downside of Opton 2 is that the land site will be substantally smaller due to the a.
creaton of the dock.
Erosion, turbulence, wave acton and other factors have not been studied in detail to b.
warrant the use of the second opton.
For future fexibility, the buildings system for the frst opton can be designed to allow c.
land cut-away in the future if the environmental factors are positve and the trafc
volume requires it. The design should allow this without impeding the operatons of
the river docking system.
Having constructed the fendering system on the river to handle the larger boats, the d.
creaton of an additonal pier will be a separate expense on top of the original budget
for the frst opton.
Less adverse social impact and resistance in implementng the recommended e.
opton.
Since the diference in projected cost for the two optons is very minimal, it may be f.
reasonable to look deeper into the implicatons of each.
Opton 1:
Enhancement of the Existng Pier
The design maximizes the use of the site
and will require the immediate relocaton
of the Coast Guard headquarters as well
as the informal setlers and vendors. Since
the docking system under this opton
essentally retains the old way, however,
further technical studies will be necessary
to determine the viability of introducing
larger boats in the future for the comfort of
tourists. The depressed water-logged area
inside the old Rotary Park, will be converted
into a recreatonal pond within the park
proper. This is deemed more suitable to
do for this naturally low area instead of
flling it to acquire more land area which
is not needed at this tme. A given in this
opton is the agreement for the project to
relocate the Coast Guard building and to
provide a lot for the use of the Department
of Environment and Natural Resources
(DENR) as well. Guimaras Province has
ofered to underwrite one-half of this
relocaton cost with the City shouldering
the other half.
While the outrigger boats are expected to
stay and service the commuter needs, it is
envisioned that at some point in the future
larger outriggers or even non-outrigger
boats will come into use. This will be
targeted for the tourist trade. The boats
will necessarily evolve into wider decks
with enclosed sides and higher roofs. At
present the toe of the pile extends roughly
7-meters from the top into the river.
Deeper draf boats would be prevented
from mooring close by the rock pile. To
allow these larger boats to moor closer
to the dock, the present rock-pile will
have to be considered in the dock design.
The docking facility under this opton is
enhanced but generally retained. A major
improvement would be the provision
of an extended pier with fendering for
roughly a 50-meter stretch startng at the
sea end of the river. This dock span that
extends further up the river is intended
to accommodate boarding and discharge
for the future larger tourist boats that can
now efectvely sidle alongside this dock.
Opton 2:
Creaton of a New Pier
This opton addresses the objectve of
the Metro Iloilo-Guimaras Economic
Development Council (MIGEDC) to
provide for a world class tourist dock
facility although it is a more expensive
undertaking. An environmental study will
be needed to validate this opton which
calls for cutng existng land to provide
for a special berthing facility for tourist
boats.
Essentally, a new dock pond would be
created between the Parola site and the
new PPA wharf that fronts the Parola site.

Aldeguer St. in Central Business District
T h e A l d e g u e r S t r e e t M a r k e t a n d C a l l e R e a l
P e d e s t r i a n i z a t i o n P r o j e c t
A. The Setng
Iloilos Central Business District (CBD) is typical of old business districts in the country. It is plagued by outmoded infrastructure,
congeston, polluton and fooding. In additon, most of its buildings and neighborhood amenites are in decay. Because of
this, the more modern developments gravitate to the suburbs. To atract the market, these developments are usually built
out of a scale that allows them to operate in self-contained fashion.
The City of Iloilo realizes, however, that its CBD is an important resource in itself. The CBD has the locatonal advantage of
being close to the pier and public ofces. It possesses the unique heritage commercial buildings of the city that refect its
history and is sought by tourists. Despite its inconveniences, it is home to a signifcant populaton that is a desirable market
of commercial projects.
For these reasons, a bold project to make the CBD a vibrant and compettve area is being pursued by the City. To this end, a
revitalizaton strategy and plan for the area has been prepared. This study deals with the inital phase: the pedestrianizaton
of Aldeguer Street and Calle Real. At the end of the exercise, it is
expected that not only will business fourish once more in the CBD,
but there will be an image of the City that will refect its character and
history and which its citzens will be proud of.
B. The Plan for Aldeguer Street Market
This project is essentally an event -- an open bazaar that is temporarily
set up on Aldeguer Street between Iznart Street and Calle Real for a
certain tme-period on certain days of the week, for example, from
6:00pm to midnight on Fridays, or from 9:00am to 2:00pm on Sundays.
The street, about 200 meters long, is proposed to be closed to trafc and
portable stalls be put up and rented out to a wide range of enterprises.
The objectve is to draw atenton to the CBD, demonstrate the potental
economic benefts of pedestrianizaton,
and catalyze partcipaton of property
and business owners in the downtown
revitalizaton program.
Given the nature of this project, it does
not require any major capital investment
or infrastructure improvement. It will,
however, require the provision of portable
toilets and trafc barriers, as well as
security and maintenance services. Its
organizaton and management is proposed
to be contracted out by the City to a private
events management frm.

C. The Plan for the Calle Real Pedestrianizaton Project
The main area for pedestrianizaton development is the stretch of Calle Real Street startng
from Ledesma St./Arroyo Streets (one end of Calle Real) up to Aldeguer Street. This stretch
is roughly 212 meters long with a street carriageway width of about 16 meters. In the
middle of the street is a narrow fenced island strip with standard street lamps distributed
along it. The middle of the stretch is bisected by Arsenal Street and an alley that connects
to Iznart Street. At present, public transport (jeepneys) together with private vehicles ply
the stretch.
The Calle Real project will be the main
pedestrian boulevard while Aldeguer Street
will play out its dual role as a pedestrian
route only at given tmes. The basic objectve
of the pedestrianizaton efort is to bring
the pace of passers-by on the street to a
level where it is conducive for commerce
especially retail sales. Hence, the process
calls for a comfortable and safe setng for
pedestrians. For Calle Real (and possibly
Aldeguer Street in the future) this will entail
the provision of appropriate paving work,
upgrade of utlity features, provision of street
furniture, and landscaping. In additon, the
enactment and applicaton of specialized
urban design zoning policies as well as the
implementaton of supportve programs and
projects on environmental care, security
measures, trafc reroute and efectve
incentves (to encourage concerned private
sector interests to partcipate in the project)
will be necessary.

C e n t r a l M a r k e t R e d e v e l o p m e n t P r o j e c t
A. Existng Situaton
The site is a market complex owned by Iloilo City. The site is less than 1.4 hectares in total
size and which 5-sided shape is bounded by four city streets (Iznart, Aldeguer, Rizal and
Guanco Streets). Within the site is a heritage building (facing Iznart and Rizal Streets) and
a public market complex. In the past, much of the market burned down and so it was
rebuilt by the city with new buildings (one to two foors). The surviving heritage building
is presently commercial while the other new structures are independent buildings that
consist of interconnected shops and stalls. While the complex contnues to functon
as a market today, the structures therein are not optmally operated and in a state of
disrepair.
B. Strategic Objectves and Proposed Land
Uses
In line with the Central Business District
(CBD) redevelopment thrust of the
City, the renovaton of this City asset is
expected to promote business in the CBD.
Considering the high value of the site
which is located in the center of the City,
a higher density arrangement is proposed
for its development. Accordingly, the
strategic land use proposed for the project
is essentally commercial in nature.
Considering the needs of the envisioned
market, the purpose of the project and the
capability of the site, a mix of commercial
boutques and shops; wet and dry market;
ofce space and even residental products
are proposed as best uses for the project.
C. Proposed Architectural Design
While tall buildings are possible to be built
on the site, the design for the project is
limited to the provision of only medium
rise buildings for two reasons:
a) to maintain the city skyline as much as
possible; and
b) in consideraton of the weak economy
today that impact on the market. Thus,
the envisioned building components are:
an adaptve reuse commercial arcade 1.
for the existng heritage building;
modern ofce towers and a parking 2.
building linked by a podium for the main
area (behind the heritage building);
a low maintenance wet market and dry 3.
goods area (under the podium);
an open public promenade (adjacent to 4.
interior side of the heritage building);
and
miscellaneous commercial stall strips 5.
(along Aldeguer and Guanco Street).
On the whole, the project shall be modern
with a heritage theme. The existng
heritage building shall be restored while
being equipped with the modern facilites.
Efectvely, the face of the development
from the exterior shall be the restored
heritage building. The other buildings
shall be basic modern as much as possible
so that it will possess form and surfaces
that do not confict with the theme of the
heritage faade at the front. The proposed
new building towers and the parking
building in the site shall be medium rise
(maximum 6-storey) structures, subject to
market validaton by the future developer.

D. Designing for the Market
The Market
It was initally proposed that the central
market be packaged as a stand-alone
project. To fast track implementaton,
the conceptual framework and pre-
feasibility study would serve as basis for
the preparaton of Terms of Reference
for bidding out the project. Toward this
objectve, it was assumed that the target
market for the project would be developers
and investors in real estate both local and
natonal or even internatonal since no sale
of land would be involved. This would stll
hold true should the City decide to pursue
the project independently of the other
components of the Central Business
District Redevelopment Program.
A second opton is proposed involving
the formaton of a joint venture company
between the City of Iloilo and the private
sector. This will need to explore the second
level of the market, the product end-users.
The product is mixed use commercial,
residental and ofce space. The feasibility
study shall have to determine the extent
of the market for the following sectors/
groups:
1. Informaton Technology Industry
with the potental solutons to the power
shortages for the region at hand, there
will be increased demand for space for
this industry group. It may be practcal to
consider securing Philippine Export Zone
Authority incentves for the project as a
strong come-on to the IT locators. Several
buildings in Metro Manila (Eastwood
Center, RCBC Plaza, among others) have
secured such status. The increase in BPO
demand has created labor supply defcits
in Metro Manila and thus there is a strong
push toward the centers of labor pools
natonwide. Iloilo City should push for its
share of this growing market.
2. Residental Space Requirements of IT
locators While the IT sector grows, there
will be increasing demand for close-to-
work residental space. The higher income
level of workers in the industry provides
afordability in purchasing middle priced
housing units. The proximity of apartments
to the next door workplace is a strong
compettve edge.
3. 24-hour services catering to the IT workers and residental users - The conduct of
business of IT centers is in real tme. The tme diferentals between local versus USA and
Europe dictates that majority of the workforce are on board during nights. A 24-hour
venue caters to this market. In turn, other users are drawn to the all night areas.
4. Boutque Hotel one or more of the proposed buildings can be parleyed into a
boutque hotel catering to the higher end of the traveller market.
5. Residental Space for Iloilo and immediate environs In the case of residental units,
a spillover market may be targeted for Iloilo and immediate environs. Such residental
space can cater to those desiring to live downtown, close to schools, government ofces,
and retail shops.
6. Ofce/commercial space requirements An analysis of the commercial ofce space
market needs to be conducted.
7. Wet market vendors An ocular inspecton of the wet market operatons indicate
that less than 20% of the stalls are actve. Most of the spaces are used as storage or even
residences. Of the 850 or so stalls, less than 100 are actve. The 2,200 square meter area
(net 1,300 sqm) will accommodate 150-220 stalls.
8. Specialty retailers With the operaton of the site as a quasi-mall a shop mix needs
to be drawn up and potental locators identfed for each retail actvity type. These may
be existng local retailers, associatons like Negros Producers Associaton, and natonal
retail companies.
The mixed-use operatons in the market complex seek to provide the atracton that will
make the project into a destnaton place. For the built-up areas of the complex, the
varied businesses there will be places for those who would do business with them. For
the ground level, the bulk of the site is alloted for the public market operaton which
is a draw in itself for the consumer public. The complex will have its share of festve
open spaces such as the public promenade between the heritage building and the wet
market. This festve court is expected to be the arena for street commerce, performers
and events that will sustain the publics interest in the complex long afer ofce hours.
On the Podium level will be an open deck and the second foor of the towers which will
be strategically commercial in nature. This would be the second level counterpart of the
ground level promenade and could ofer more or less the same actvites.

Iloilo has a very young populaton. Six out
of ten (6 out of 10) belong to the under-30
age group. Iloilos educatonal insttutons
regularly produce 20,000 to 40,000 graduates
every year for the labor pool.
They are English-profcient, highly trainable
and exposed to in Western-oriented
culture, making it ideal for service-oriented
businesses, business process outsourcing
work, and jobs overseas.
Colleges and universites in Iloilo have more than 100,000 enrolees annually, with
58% of these going to private schools and 41% in public schools. More or less there
are 20,000-40000 graduates every year with degrees in business (20%), teaching
(13%), arts and sciences (6%), health (24%), agri-fsheries (3%), engineering (15%),
informaton technology (10%) and criminology (7%).
Iloilo has a literacy rate of 92.8%

GOLD MINE IN MANPOWER
Iloilo City has a high populaton of youth who are English-profcient and highly-
trainable making it ideal for service-oriented business specially business process
outsourcing jobs, and overseas employment.
A strong number of 20,000 graduates annually and quality of talent pool is
manifested in the presence of 28 private tertary insttutons three state colleges/
state universites, the city being the educatonal center in the whole Western Visayas
region.
Several universites already included call center fundamentals in their curriculum to
cater to the growing demands of the business processing and outsourcing industry.
Some educatonal insttutons ofer short and fnishing courses for call center,
medical transcripton, and sofware development; training in Professional (2D)
animaton, English language profciency, Korean Language and Culture, web page
and graphic design.
The government, private sector and academe are working together to increase the
number of graduates produced by prominent universites specializing in various
felds of business, medicine, educaton, maritme, industrial technology, informaton
technology and engineering.
And this afrms the fact that the city is emerging to be globally-compettve
as confrmed by a very young, energetc and skilled manpower pool ready for
employment opportunites.
Illonggos are known for their talent to perform mult-task, skilled and talented in
almost all felds and have a very good English profciency and literacy which make
them develop a very strong work morale such that they would grab any opportunity
that comes along the way.
Mult-natonal companies atract more applicants because of their larger scope of
service and provide good compensaton package to employees but domestc BPOs
are trying to compete with the standards of mult-natonal companies.
