Iloilo, an Episode of January, 1899, and Strained Relations in Manila

Excerpt from Iloilo, an Episode of January, 1899, and Strained Relations in Manila, Vol. 6: First Series; February 25, 1901

December 13, 1898, General Otis received a petition from certain business men in Iloilo, asking for American protection there. Next day he cabled to Washington telling of the petition, stating that the Spanish authorities were still holding out in Iloilo but would receive American troops, and asking for instructions.

December 23, those instructions arrived. The President directs that you send necessary troops to Iloilo, to pre serve the peace and protect life and property. It is most important that there should be no conﬂict with the insurgents. Be conciliatory, but firm. General Otis at once cabled General Rios, in command of the Spanish troops at Iloilo, that he was sending a large American force. On the 24th, General Otis heard that General Rios intended to leave Iloilo that same day. Efforts were immediately made, says General Otis, to communicate by other means with General Rios before he could evacuate the city. Lieutenant Colonel Potter was sent at once on a coasting vessel to Iloilo.

Province of Iloilo: Socio-economic profile 2001

The Socio-Economic Profile (SEP) 2001 is the result of six (6) years of meticulous compilation of selected statistical indicators of the Province of Iloilo put together in a single publication to cater to the needs of planners and researchers. Usually updated every five (5) years, this publication suffered delays in its scheduled production due mainly to the destruction of most of the records in a fire that razed the Iloilo Provincial Capitol in November, 1998. However, through painstaking efforts, the Research and Statistics Section of the Provincial Planning and Development Office has successfully reconstructed the necessary information with the help of the various Regional Line Agencies and Provincial Offices responsible in generating the required data. In addition, the 1999 socio-economic indicators were also added in order to update and present a more timely set of indicators.

With the dawning of the new millennium, this publication aims to provide information on the socio-economic situation existing in the Province of Iloilo during the last years of the 20th century. The data contained herein, were contributed or gathered from various Local Government Units, Offices under the Provincial Government, the National Government Agencies through their respective Regional Offices and other Non-Government Organizations tasked with monitoring or gathering developmental, business and socio-economic related information.
