After graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Engineering, he began his professional journey as an assistant engineer in the Bureau of Public Works from 1913 to 1914. His expertise soon took him to San Francisco, California, where he served as the engineer in charge of the Philippine Public Works Exhibits at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in 1915.&#13;

                <text>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ILOILO CITY&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;– The Iloilo Provincial Library and Archives has recommended worthwhile reading materials from a free public domain in time for Halloween.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“We recommended some books that we got from Project Gutenberg since not many people are aware that these books can be downloaded for free, like the works of Edgar Allan Poe and popular authors whose works have inspired a lot of movies, a lot of other stories,” Provincial Librarian Allana Delgado said in an interview on Thursday.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She explained that the copyright of books in the free public domain has already expired, so they can be downloaded for free.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Those who are interested can download the FREE eBook Reader app: ReadEra from Google Play or the Apple Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id1669188337 or download through Project Gutenberg: https://gutenberg.org/ebooks/70652.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“As a reader, I was also excited to share. During this time, a lot of people probably are watching horror movies, so they might be interested in looking for something to read. So, I thought it was the perfect time to share it, especially since there are a lot of very good classic books that are available now online,” Delgado said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Iloilo Provincial Library and Archives Facebook page identified among others "At the Mountains of Madness" by HP Lovecraft, a novella blending science fiction and horror, written in the early 20th century; “The Picture of Dorian Gray" by Oscar Wilde, a novel written during the late 19th century; "The Works of Edgar Allan Poe, The Raven Edition" by Edgar Allan Poe, a comprehensive collection of his literary output, likely compiled in the late 19th century; "Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley, first published in 1818; "Wuthering Heights," a famous novel by Emily Brontë, published in 1847; and “Dracula (1897), a gothic horror novel by Bram Stoker.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Some of these are fantasy, some are horror classics that have influenced a lot of books and other stories. But I have also included Wuthering Heights, a romance novel with elements of a ghost story because there is a ghost in the story,” she said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Project Gutenberg is one of the oldest online libraries, hosting free books.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is working on digitizing books in the public domain for download, she added.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“We post about free resources regularly on our Facebook page. We frequently share resources relevant to the time,” Delgado said.&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(PNA)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/p&gt;</text>

              <text>A year ago, I made a decision that had been on my mind for some time—I came back home to Iloilo. After years of working with multinational and national organizations, I had grown used to the fast pace of life in bigger cities, the wealth of opportunities, and the exposure to world-class innovation. But something kept pulling me back. Iloilo was changing, and I could feel it.&#13;
&#13;
Coming home wasn’t just about nostalgia. It was about recognizing the incredible potential of our city and province and wanting to be part of its transformation. I didn’t return to slow down; I came back to build something meaningful. What I’ve found in the past year is that Iloilo is no longer the city we once knew—it’s on the rise, and it’s calling its people back to help shape its future.&#13;
&#13;
Iloilo’s Time Has Come&#13;
&#13;
Iloilo is now one of the fastest-growing economies in the country. No longer just a quiet cultural hub, it is becoming a major center for trade, agriculture, education, lifestyle, and innovation in the Visayas. International flights are opening Iloilo to global markets, making it easier for businesses to connect beyond our borders. The Visayas Container Terminal is strengthening our position as a logistics hub, and with the construction of the Panay-Guimaras-Negros Bridge finally underway, Iloilo is becoming a vital link between key economic regions.&#13;
&#13;
Government leaders are also making bold moves to position Iloilo as a viable alternative for business process outsourcing (BPO) companies looking for locations outside Metro Manila and Cebu. Infrastructure projects continue to modernize the city and province, yet Iloilo has managed to retain its charm, its livability, and its deep sense of community. Even beyond the city, developments are now spreading across the province, creating new centers of opportunity in towns that were once left behind.&#13;
&#13;
Why It’s Time to Come Back&#13;
&#13;
With all these changes, Iloilo is not just a place to visit—it’s a place to build. And as the city grows, it needs Ilonggos with global experience to help shape its future.&#13;
&#13;
Our local economy is expanding, but real, sustainable progress will require professionals who understand international standards and best practices. We need experts who can bridge the gap between local industries and global trends—leaders in trade, agriculture, tourism, hospitality, retail, digital transformation, healthcare, fintech, learning and development, research, and academia. These fields are growing fast, but to truly thrive, they need professionals who can introduce fresh ideas and modern strategies while keeping our community’s values intact.&#13;
&#13;
Singapore offers a valuable case study. When the city-state faced a talent drain, its government launched programs to bring back its best and brightest. It didn’t just appeal to sentiment—it presented a vision. Singaporeans who returned were given opportunities that matched, if not exceeded, what they had abroad. Their expertise became the fuel for national progress. Today, Singapore stands as a global powerhouse, thanks in large part to those who chose to return and contribute.&#13;
&#13;
Iloilo is now at a similar turning point. If we want to continue this upward trajectory, we need Ilonggos who are willing to take the leap—those who can bring their global insights home and turn them into tangible progress.&#13;
&#13;
More Than Just Jobs—It’s About Building Something Meaningful&#13;
&#13;
Coming home isn’t just about finding a job. Iloilo is fast becoming a place where entrepreneurship can flourish. If you’ve ever dreamed of starting your own business, now is the time. The local market is ready for innovation, and there is plenty of room for new ideas to thrive.&#13;
&#13;
When I came back a year ago, I wasn’t looking to simply continue what I had been doing elsewhere. I wanted to create something here—to use my experience to help local businesses grow, to mentor, to collaborate, and to contribute to an Iloilo that is rapidly evolving. And I’ve found that there is an incredible energy in the city, a hunger for fresh perspectives, and a growing openness to change.&#13;
&#13;
To the Government: Support Returning Ilonggo Talents&#13;
&#13;
For this movement to gain momentum, the government must play an active role. While the city and province are already making strides in attracting investors and businesses, there is a clear need for programs that specifically target the return of Ilonggo global talents.&#13;
&#13;
Incentives such as tax breaks for returning entrepreneurs, startup grants, professional reintegration programs, and access to industry networks can make the decision to come home even more compelling. Creating dedicated initiatives for returning Ilonggo professionals—similar to what Singapore implemented—would not only enrich our local workforce but also accelerate Iloilo’s growth as a regional hub for innovation and excellence.&#13;
&#13;
The public and private sectors must work together to create an ecosystem where global talents can thrive, knowing that their return home is not just welcomed but supported with concrete opportunities to contribute meaningfully.&#13;
&#13;
The Future Is Being Written—Be Part of It&#13;
&#13;
Iloilo is not the same city it was a decade ago, and in another ten years, it will look even more different. The question is, will we let others define that change for us, or will we take part in shaping it ourselves?&#13;
&#13;
This is not just an invitation to come back home—it’s a call to build. To lead. To create an Iloilo that doesn’t just compete with other cities in the Philippines but earns its place on the global stage.&#13;
&#13;
Imagine building a career where you don’t have to choose between success and quality of life. Imagine being surrounded by fellow Ilonggos who, like you, have seen the world and are ready to bring the best of it home. Imagine raising your family in a city that offers modern amenities while staying true to the values that make Iloilo special.&#13;
&#13;
Come back home. Bring your expertise, your experiences, and your vision. Let’s build a stronger, more innovative, and world-class Iloilo—together.&#13;

              <text>Ilongos did not see this coming so soon. Travelers were greeted this year to not two but now three international destinations they can fly out to from Iloilo. First it was the reinstatement of the flights to Singapore and Hong Kong which were suspended during the pandemic in 2020 and now, Bangkok has been added to the list.&#13;
&#13;
Filipinos have breached themselves to be in the top bracket in tourist arrivals in Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Taiwan and remarkably, in Japan and South Korea as well. More than 500,000 Filipinos visited these countries in 2024, and that’s a revelation well respected in the travel and tourism sectors. Without doubt, Ilongos will contribute significantly to the numbers in 2025.&#13;
&#13;
Cebu Pacific has answered their call for more flights. Apart from the three international destinations the airline has also provided connectivity to  12 domestic points (and still counting), laying ideal conditions for business and tourism growth for Western Visayas. Never has Iloilo been so effectively linked to so many cities in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao as of today.&#13;
&#13;
The airline has recently added Dumaguete, Daraga, Tacloban, Tagbilaran and Zamboanga to their existing routes to Manila, Cebu, Clark, Cagayan de Oro, Davao, General Santos and Puerto Princesa.&#13;
&#13;
The question now is sustainability. Cebu Pacific, with an impressive marketing network and solid operations, can only do so much. Local stakeholders in the entire island and across to Negros Occidental should capitalize on these linkages and do their share in creating awareness and benefits of this regional aviation hub, literary, at their doorsteps. To many, it would mean, no more torturous connecting flights in Manila.&#13;
&#13;
The options are opened now to depart from Iloilo City for Singapore and connect with almost 20 airlines to choose from, to anywhere in Europe or the East Coast of North America and any city in Australia and New Zealand. Likewise, from Hong Kong, one can connect anywhere to North America with almost a dozen flights a day to San Francisco  and Los Angeles and New York.&#13;
&#13;
How local stakeholders – LGUs, hoteliers, resort owners, tour operators, travel agents and business chambers – can contribute to its regional hub success is plentiful:&#13;
&#13;
– Participate in road shows with the airline and tourism and transportation companies to create awareness of the Iloilo hub to Capiz, Antique, Aklan, Guimaras and Negros Occidental. These provinces serve as the catchment market.&#13;
&#13;
– Host travel agents, travel writers, bloggers, influencers both foreign and local, to familiarization trips to your cities in collaboration with the airline.&#13;
&#13;
– Promote your local festivals with greater intensity than ever, targeting Cebu Pacific’s network inside your radar.&#13;
&#13;
– Participate with the regional Department of Tourism office (DOT6) in sales missions to Singapore and Hong Kong to create a healthy inbound market.&#13;
&#13;
– As your destination is relatively unknown (except for Boracay which is perched as an elite class of its own), create attractive tour packages and reach out to a consortium of agents and wholesalers in Singapore, Hong Kong and Thailand.&#13;
&#13;
– DOT6 and the Iloilo MICE Alliance to initiate and implement a long term marketing plan for 2025 with support from LGUs and business establishments such as SMX, SM Malls, Ayala, Injap Holdings, Megaworld, Iloilo Festival Foundation and our new airport operator.&#13;
&#13;
– Riding on helping a brother principle, explore viability of an turbo prop aircraft service between Iloilo City and Caticlan, cutting land travel from 6 hours, to perhaps 30-40 minutes.&#13;
&#13;
The list goes on.&#13;
&#13;
Cebu Pacific’s investments in mounting and sustaining these flights are enormous in every angle we look at it. We asked for these flights for connectivity, growth and economic reasons. Let’s do our role now and sustain these flights for continued  progress and a better tomorrow.</text>
