Tourist guides and extremely doctored TV footage might tell you that signs of being in Iloilo are a.) sniffing the stomach-curling scent of batchoy or 2.) being constantly thrilled by Hispanic churches and structures which survived the emergence of cellphones and the internet, but they forgot one vital pointer which you will encounter in the next sentence.
Beautiful architecture and batchoy isn't what all Iloilo is about, did anyone still notice the radio broadcasters of Iloilo. They seem to infuse every language with an Ilonggo trait. Samples are:
1. "News brought to you by Dikol Gin, no drowse."
2. 'Sir, ilan po ang napilas (local of nasugatan) sa aksidente?'
3. "Si kasamang Ed live galing Spain!.
Broadcaster: Ed?
Ed: Magandong hapon po galing sa Spain.
Broadcaster: Uuula Ed."
