The Grandeur and the Glory: The FIRSTS of ILOILO (1-50)

The FIRSTS of ILOILO

Perhaps no other province in the Philippines can claim to have chalked up a record of having many “firsts” as the province of Iloilo. This list, which is by no means complete, includes some of the vignettes of history that make for the grandeur and glory that is Iloilo. By making this compilation, we hope to bring the reader a state of exquisite splendor as we relive the glorious past through the great events and great achievements of notable men and women and thus though briefly, comes before the chamber for an eventful encounter with history.

Fyi. MARAGTAS has been declared by historians more than 2 decades ago to be a hoax. Pls do not continue perpetuating that hoax. Almanaque is pronounced "ahl-ma-na-keh". It is Spanish for almanac. Fyi. An Ilonggo from Molo of the Marcella family (I think) has been one of the first serving senators in Cuba . Overall this is a great video.

The first branch of SM department store outside Metro Manila is SM Delgado (Iloilo City). Opened in May 1979. SM Delgado (Iloilo City) is the 4th SM Department Store built by Mr.Henry Sy Sr. after SM Manila, Makati and Cubao. SM Supermarket was conceptualized and opened its store at SM Delgado in 1985. I remember in the 80s, SM
shopping bags were printed with Manila-Makati-Cubao-Iloilo.

The first school in the Philippines was Colegio de Manila later named Universidad de San Ignacio. Also established by the Jesuits in 1590 but closed in 1768 after their expulsion from all Spanish colonies. It was a school for boys.

The Great First...your great effort is the Ilonggo 1st.👏👏👏
I went to INHS, my great Lolo, my father, my bros/sis went there. We hear creepy sounds in that old building. They said the Japanese made it their camp and dead soldiers died there. Nevertheless it's the school that produce many successful graduates and I benefited from all the scholarships that school received.
By the way my late Tatay was in his 90's. I stopby in 2016 and took him there I can just imagine what's in his head when he was in that school in the 1930's.

ALMANAQUE should be pronounced 'al ma na keh' not 'al ma nak'. Spanish is always syllabicated. Also, the so called Maragtas had already been proven a historical fraud so No. 1 should not have been there. Suma tutal, Iloilo's Firsts is quite impressive considering the research that went with it. Btw before Iloilo was known as Iloilo it was known as Provincia de Ogtong (Oton) since the Spaniards first landed in Oton.

At ano naman ang nagagawa ng vintage firsts na yan sa Philippine economy?Imagine hundred of years ago yan lang ang improvements ng Iloilo until now?ang makikita natin sa video na Iloilo booming daw?nilalait ninyo ang Cebu na tall buildings lang ang maipagmalaki hinde pa kayo nagising sa katotohanan.Kung isaisahin naming imention lahat na bagay na maipagmalaki namin aabutin tayo kinaumagahan.Kung sa bagay masakit talaga ang maungusan.

Why is it the first airline in the philippines iloilo-negros express was not mentioned in the 50 firsts of iloilo, something to do with negros province involved in the airline route and so cannot be considered as of iloilo alone?
