Iloilo City Investment Guide

Transcription

Welcome to Iloilo City
MESSAGE
Iloilo City today has metamorphosed into one of the most important business and
investment centers not only in Western Visayas but the entire 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 location,
the surfeit of highly-skilled labor, modern conveniences and facilities, and ideal peace
and order climate. Furthermore, the Iloilo City Government provides adequate incentives
to assist businesses during the various phases of their ventures.
The publication of this guide will present a definitive perspective of all the business and
trade opportunities available in Iloilo City. It includes essential information on starting a
business, and inducements to inspire prospective investors to set up shop here.
This will not only serve as an indispensable guide for investors, but also as an indicator of
our people’s accomplishments in pushing Iloilo City forward to socio-economic stability
despite the current uncertainties of a world in constant flux.
It is likewise important to mention that this publication is the result of a consequential
partnership between the Iloilo City Government and the private sector. We left no stone
unturned in translating the energy and industry of our metropolis into a language any
investor will easily understand.
This guide also gives an assessment of the city’s capacity to provide a nurturing and
dynamic environment for its local enterprises and industries; as well as its ability to
efficiently use its resources in the context of sustainable development and in raising the
standard of living of our residents.
I am confident this publication will prove an accurate index valuable to those who wish to
make Iloilo City their home or their base for business operations or both.

FAST FACTS:
The word “Iloilo City” came from the shape
of the city, cut by the river which looks like
the shape of a nose, “Irong-Irong”, noselike, later became Iloilo. Other accounts
point the origin of the name to a fish.
Monicker: “Most Loyal and Noble City” or
“La Muy Leal Y Noble Ciudad de Iloilo” in
Spanish. This is an inscription in the Coat
of Arms from the Royal Decree of 1896 in
recognition of the people’s loyalty to the
Spanish crown.
A replica of the Spanish Crown of the
Queen Regent of Spain is a symbol and
testimony of a long historic relationship
between Iloilo City and Spain, can be found

Power
PECO is one of the oldest private electricity
distribution utilities in the Philippines. It
has been operating since 1923. It currently
consumes about 52% of the whole power
demanded in the whole Panay Island grid.
Today, it remains to be the only private
electricity distributor in the whole island
of Panay, with its operation mainly focused
in Iloilo City.
Supplementing the power supply is the
164MW coal-fired power plant in Ingore,
La Paz, Iloilo City. This provides investors
with steady dependable and cheaper
electricity for business.

Water
Metro Iloilo Water District is one waterworks that has undergone several evoluti ons since its birth in 1926 unti l the 1970s. The
system was managed and controlled by diff erent administrati on, namely the Iloilo Metropolitan Waterworks (IMWW), the Nati onal
Waterworks and Sewerage Authority (NAWASA), and the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS) unti l it was placed
under the control of Metro Iloilo Water District.
Twenty eight years aft er it achieved a Full Time Equivalent, MIWD is challenged by the people of Iloilo City to meet the conti nuously
increasing demand for effi 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 additi onal 30,000 cubic meters daily water supply augmentati on on
top of its current daily supply capacity of 40,000 cubic meters. Amidst the odds, MIWD must strive to conti 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 enti re Iloilo province as
well.
Flood Control Measures Established
The Iloilo Flood Control Project mitigates
flood damage and inundation such that it
creates a more sustainable urban community
by providing a safer and a more pleasant
living condition for people in the urban area
of Iloilo City and its vicinity. This created a
more dynamic regional economy by providing
a flood-free urban center.
The 4.75 kilometer Jaro Floodway, one of
the project’s major components, is already
operational and is expected to provide relief
from flooding. Other components include the
improvement of the Aganan River in Pavia
town and Tigum River in Cabatuan.
The flood control project channels floodwaters
from the Aganan and Tigum Rivers to the Iloilo
Strait to address the flooding problem in Iloilo
City and nearby towns.
The flood control project likewise includes the improvement of the Jaro River
mouth, Iloilo river, Upper Ingore Creek and the construction of the Carpenter,
Pagsanga-an, Anilao, Balabago, Buhang, and Bito-on Bridges.
It also includes the improvement of the Jaro River, construction of La Paz floodway,
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 International
Cooperation. (DPWH)

Aerial View of Megaworld’s future Iloilo
Business Park
Urban property developer Megaworld Corporation has acquired the
54-hectare old airport lot in Mandurriao for P1.2B. Megaworld has
also announced plans to invest P1.5B to develop it into a Business
Process Outsourcing (BPO) hub, the first ever in Western Visayas.
The proposed 54.5 hectare Iloilo Business Park by Megaword will
adopt a concept of “live-work-play-learn community.” It will have
BPO offices, residential condominiums, a hotel, convention center,
commercial and retail center, skills training center and recreational
facilities. The investment by Megaworld in Iloilo is the first investment
made by the corporation outside Manila.
MEGAWORLD Iloilo shows some ongoing wide clearing and landscaping activities along the area where BPO offices, residential
condominiums, a hotel, convention center, commercial and retail center, skills training center and recreational facilities that will
emerge one by one as soon as the coal-fired power plant becomes fully operational by this year, 2011, since Megaworld needs at least
20MW of power for initial development of Iloilo Business Park.
The asphalt runway of the old Iloilo Airport will be turned into an 8-lane highway and will be the main artery of the Iloilo Business
Park. Along this road will be mostly low-rise to mid-rise buildings (up to 12 floors) for commercial spaces including BPO offices. At the
center of the property is a large space for a 5,000-seater convention center and a hotel. At the southern end is reserved for a hyper
mart and a theme park, both of which will be developed after the other components.

The PAROLA FERRY STATION PROJECT
By: Consultants for Comprehensive Environmental Planning, Inc./ Guimaras-Iloilo Ferry Terminal Systems Project
Site Capacity
This station which is expected to service all commuters between Iloilo City and Guimaras will contain the most number of ferry traffic
among the stations in Iloilo City. The station is collectively more than a hectare in size and can readily accommodate the amenities
required for a first class terminal. Among the amenities would be the Eco-park (to replace the Rotary Park) that would ‘green’ the area
and provide an area for expansion of the Station 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 effectively good only for docking roughly seven boats at the same time.
The Development Options
Two design options for the site were prepared for the project
considering the cited project objectives and limitations. Both options
contain the first class amenities for ticketing, lounging, dining,
shopping and toilets. Outdoors also possess the parking, flea market
facility, the Eco-park and the provided relocation and reserved areas
for the Coast Guard and DENR. What distinguishes the two options
is essentially the treatment and configuration of their docks. The
options are described on the succeeding pages.
11
Present Parola Ferry Terminal
Option 1:
Enhancement of the Existing Pier
Option 2:
Creation of a New Pier
The design maximizes the use of the site
and will require the immediate relocation
of the Coast Guard headquarters as well
as the informal settlers and vendors. Since
the docking system under this option
essentially 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 recreational pond within the park
proper. This is deemed more suitable to
do for this naturally low area instead of
filling it to acquire more land area which
is not needed at this time. A given in this
option 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
offered to underwrite one-half of this
relocation cost with the City shouldering
the other half.
This option addresses the objective 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 option which
calls for ‘cutting’ existing land to provide
for a special berthing facility for tourist
boats.
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 draft 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 option is
enhanced but generally retained. A major
improvement would be the provision
of an extended pier with fendering for
roughly a 50-meter stretch starting 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 effectively sidle alongside this dock.
Essentially, a new dock ‘pond’ would be
created between the Parola site and the
new PPA wharf that fronts the Parola site.
Recommended Option:
Considering the already complex technical decisions that will still have to be made for
the project as well as the all important development budget consideration, this report
thus recommends Option 1. Option 1 approaches the Station design in a straightforward
manner where each project feature tries to make use of what’s there on site to minimize
cost. Hence, except from the mentioned extended pier with fendering for the large
tourist boat, most other works on the site will be traditional construction works. To avoid
the filling 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 option,
the outriggers will continue to use the river side docking facility with its improvements.
The Pre-Feasibility Study recommends the implementation of Option 1 for the Parola
terminal for the following reasons:
a.A downside of Option 2 is that the land site will be substantially smaller due to the
creation of the dock.
b.Erosion, turbulence, wave action and other factors have not been studied in detail to
warrant the use of the second option.
c.For future flexibility, the buildings system for the first option can be designed to allow
land cut-away in the future if the environmental factors are positive and the traffic
volume requires it. The design should allow this without impeding the operations of
the river docking system.
d.Having constructed the ‘fendering’ system on the river to handle the larger boats, the
creation of an additional pier will be a separate expense on top of the original budget
for the first option.
e.Less adverse social impact and resistance in implementing the recommended
option.
f. Since the difference in projected cost for the two options is very minimal, it may be
reasonable to look deeper into the implications of each.

The Aldeguer Street Market and Calle Real
Pedestrianization Project
By: Consultants for Comprehensive Environmental Planning, Inc./ Iloilo Downtown CBD Revitalization Project
A. The Setting
Iloilo’s Central Business District (CBD) is typical of old business districts in the country. It is plagued by outmoded infrastructure,
congestion, pollution and flooding. In addition, most of its buildings and neighborhood amenities are in decay. Because of
this, the more modern developments gravitate to the suburbs. To attract 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 locational advantage of
being close to the pier and public offices. It possesses the unique heritage commercial buildings of the city that reflect its
history and is sought by tourists. Despite its inconveniences, it is home to a significant population that is a desirable market
of commercial projects.
For these reasons, a bold project to make the CBD a vibrant and competitive area is being pursued by the City. To this end, a
revitalization strategy and plan for the area has been prepared. This study deals with the initial phase: the pedestrianization
of Aldeguer Street and Calle Real. At the end of the exercise, it is
expected that not only will business flourish once more in the CBD,
but there will be an image of the City that will reflect its character and
history and which its citizens will be proud of.
B. The Plan for Aldeguer Street Market
This project is essentially an event -- an open bazaar that is temporarily
set up on Aldeguer Street between Iznart Street and Calle Real for a
certain time-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 traffic and
portable stalls be put up and rented out to a wide range of enterprises.
The objective is to draw attention to the CBD, demonstrate the potential
economic benefits of pedestrianization,
and catalyze participation of property
and business owners in the downtown
revitalization 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 traffic barriers, as well as
security and maintenance services. Its
organization and management is proposed
to be contracted out by the City to a private
events management firm.

Aldeguer St. in Central Business District
C. The Plan for the Calle Real Pedestrianization Project
The main area for pedestrianization development is the stretch of Calle Real Street starting
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 times. The basic objective
of the pedestrianization effort 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 setting for
pedestrians. For Calle Real (and possibly
Aldeguer Street in the future) this will entail
the provision of appropriate paving work,
upgrade of utility features, provision of street
furniture, and landscaping. In addition, the
enactment and application of specialized
urban design zoning policies as well as the
implementation of supportive programs and
projects on environmental care, security
measures, traffic reroute and effective
incentives (to encourage concerned private
sector interests to participate in the project)
will be necessary.

Central Market Redevelopment Project
By: Consultants for Comprehensive Environmental Planning, Inc./ Iloilo Downtown CBD Revitalization Project
A. Existing Situation
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 floors). 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 continues to function
as a market today, the structures therein are not optimally operated and in a state of
disrepair.
B. Strategic Objectives and Proposed Land
Uses
In line with the Central Business District
(CBD) redevelopment thrust of the
City, the renovation 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 essentially 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
boutiques and shops; wet and dry market;
office space and even residential 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 consideration of the weak economy
today that impact on the market. Thus,
the envisioned building components are:
1.an adaptive reuse commercial arcade
for the existing heritage building;
2.modern office towers and a parking
building linked by a podium for the main
area (behind the heritage building);
3.a low maintenance wet market and dry
goods area (under the podium);
4.an open public promenade (adjacent to
interior side of the heritage building);
and
5.miscellaneous commercial stall strips
(along Aldeguer and Guanco Street).
On the whole, the project shall be modern
with a heritage theme. The existing
heritage building shall be restored while
being equipped with the modern facilities.
Effectively, 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 conflict with the theme of the
heritage façade 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 validation by the future developer.
15
D. Designing for the Market
The Market
It was initially proposed that the central
market be packaged as a stand-alone
project. To fast track implementation,
the conceptual framework and prefeasibility study would serve as basis for
the preparation of Terms of Reference
for bidding out the project. Toward this
objective, it was assumed that the target
market for the project would be developers
and investors in real estate both local and
national or even international since no sale
of land would be involved. This would still
hold true should the City decide to pursue
the project independently of the other
components of the Central Business
District Redevelopment Program.
A second option is proposed involving
the formation 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,
residential and office space. The feasibility
study shall have to determine the extent
of the market for the following sectors/
groups:
1. Information Technology Industry –
with the potential solutions to the power
shortages for the region at hand, there
will be increased demand for space for
this industry group. It may be practical to
consider securing Philippine Export Zone
Authority incentives 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 deficits
in Metro Manila and thus there is a strong
push toward the centers of labor pools
nationwide. Iloilo City should push for its
share of this growing market.
2. Residential Space Requirements of IT
locators – While the IT sector grows, there
will be increasing demand for close-towork residential space. The higher income
level of workers in the industry provides
affordability in purchasing middle priced
housing units. The proximity of apartments
to the next door workplace is a strong
competitive edge.
3. 24-hour services catering to the IT workers and residential users - The conduct of
business of IT centers is in real time. The time differentials 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. Boutique Hotel – one or more of the proposed buildings can be parleyed into a
boutique hotel catering to the higher end of the traveller market.
5. Residential Space for Iloilo and immediate environs – In the case of residential units,
a spillover market may be targeted for Iloilo and immediate environs. Such residential
space can cater to those desiring to live downtown, close to schools, government offices,
and retail shops.
6. Office/commercial space requirements – An analysis of the commercial office space
market needs to be conducted.
7. Wet market vendors – An ocular inspection of the wet market operations indicate
that less than 20% of the stalls are active. Most of the spaces are used as storage or even
residences. Of the 850 or so stalls, less than 100 are active. The 2,200 square meter area
(net 1,300 sqm) will accommodate 150-220 stalls.
8. Specialty retailers – With the operation of the site as a quasi-mall a shop mix needs
to be drawn up and potential locators identified for each retail activity type. These may
be existing local retailers, associations like Negros Producers Association, and national
retail companies.
The mixed-use operations in the market complex seek to provide the attraction that will
make the project into a destination 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 allotted for the public market operation which
is a draw in itself for the consumer public. The complex will have its share of festive
open spaces such as the public promenade between the heritage building and the wet
market. This festive court is expected to be the arena for street commerce, performers
and events that will sustain the public’s interest in the complex long after office hours.
On the Podium level will be an open deck and the second floor of the towers which will
be strategically commercial in nature. This would be the second level counterpart of the
ground level promenade and could offer more or less the same activities.
