La Paz Public Market

La Paz Public Market is a public market or palengke located in La Paz, Iloilo City, Philippines. It is considered as the birthplace of a popular Filipino dish, La Paz Batchoy. History La Paz has operated its own market even before its conglomeration with Iloilo City in 1937. The current La Paz Public Market traces its origins to the early 1920s, evolving from a reclaimed fishpond filled with dredged materials from the Iloilo River, as documented in the Quarterly Bulletin of the Bureau of Public Works in 1918. The main market building, showcasing an Art Deco design typical of its era, was constructed between the 1920s and 1930s. After World War II, the market resumed operations with a general covered area where vendors sold goods on tables or makeshift kiosks. In the 1960s, during the tenure of Vice Mayor Dicen, public stalls were erected and rented out to vendors. Subsequently, walls were installed between stalls, which were then individually leased. During the 1970s and 1980s, the main building of the La Paz Public Market housed the La Paz Police Station. A significant fire in 1989 damaged parts of the market's northern section, leading to the temporary relocation of stalls to Rizal Street while repairs were undertaken. The main building of the La Paz Public Market underwent improvements and rehabilitation in the early 2000s under the initiative of Congressman Raul Gonzales Sr. Rehabilitation The public market underwent major rehabilitation and renovation in 2022, which necessitated the temporary relocation of stalls to Rizal Street once again. The entire market was demolished, except for the distinctive feature structure with art deco architecture, preserved for its historical value. The rehabilitated public market reopened on December 16, 2025. It now features 73 additional stalls compared to its pre-renovation configuration. Following its reopening, the local government also structured the official market days under the Bolante Day initiative. For La Paz, this designated "Sabadohan" schedule permits transient vendors to operate from Saturday at 5:00 AM through Sunday at noon. La Paz Batchoy The origin of Batchoy is traced to the public market, with multiple accounts claiming credit for its creation. It is believed to have been created in 1938 by Federico Guilergan Sr., evolving from a playful combination of "bats" and "choy" (from chop suey). However, Inggo's Batchoy also claims to be the first batchoy shop in La Paz, established in 1922 at the La Paz Public Market, predating Deco's La Paz Batchoy Shop by 16 years. Teodorico "Ted" Lepura further popularized the dish with Ted's Oldtimer Lapaz Batchoy, founded in 1945. The dish's name "batchoy" is believed to originate from Hokkien Chinese, meaning "meat soup" or "minced meat." References External links Media related to La Paz Public Market at Wikimedia Commons
Hoskyn's Department Store

The department store was succeeded by Washington Supermart in 1948, and is located at the Hoskyn's Building on the corner of historic Calle Real and Guanco Street in downtown Iloilo City Proper. History Hoskyn's Department Store was founded by Henry Hoskyn, a former employee of the firm Smith, Bell and Company based in Manila and nephew of Nicholas Loney, a British vice-consul in Iloilo. It was also managed by J. C. Hoskyn, Herbert Peter Hoskyn, George Medhurst Saul, A. Ponce de Leon, E.

Lizares Mansion

The Lizares–Gamboa Mansion, also known as Lizares Mansion or Villa Lizares, is a Beaux-Arts heritage house located in the district of Jaro in Iloilo City, Philippines. Built in 1937, it now serves as the chapel of Angelicum School Iloilo. In 2024, the Lizares Mansion was declared an Important Cultural Property by the National Museum of the Philippines (NMP). History The Lizares Mansion, built in 1937, was a gift from Don Emiliano Lizares to his wife, Conchita Gamboa, and their two sons and three daughters. It was designed by Andres Luna de San Pedro, the son of famous Filipino painter Juan Luna. The mansion has three floors, a basement, and an attic. It features a winding wooden staircase, large bedrooms with floors and 59 doors made of hardwood. When World War II broke out, the Lizares family left for a safe hiding place in Pototan, Iloilo. The mansion was then used as the headquarters of the Japanese army. During the Japanese occupation, Filipino soldiers were tortured within its walls, and their bodies were disposed of on the estate grounds, with the basement believed to be a dumping ground for tortured Filipinos. Some accounts suggest the family used a network of underground tunnels during their escape, one of which reportedly led to Iloilo Memorial Park. As the liberation of Panay approached, Japanese soldiers in the mansion committed seppuku. Locals believe that the spirits of those who died during this period still haunt the mansion. After the war, the Lizares family returned to live in the mansion, but life was never the same. In 1950, Don Emiliano Lizares died, and his widow left for Manila, leasing the mansion to a businessman who turned it into a casino. The city mayor later ordered the casino closed, claiming it corrupted the locals. The mansion was then left in the care of Tio Doroy Finolan and his wife, who kept it intact. In 1962, the Lizares Mansion was sold to the Dominicans. In 1963, it was converted into a House of Formation for young Dominicans in the Philippines. By 1978, the Lizares Mansion compound had become the home of Angelicum School Iloilo with the help of the University of Santo Tomas (UST). In 2024, the Lizares Mansion was declared an Important Cultural Property by the National Museum of the Philippines (NMP). In popular culture Lizares Mansion has been featured in several Philippine television dramas. It was a notable location in the Philippine remake of the 2005 South Korean television drama "A Love to Kill," which premiered on Netflix in 2022, starring Ian Veneracion. The mansion also appeared in ABS-CBN's "The Iron Heart," starring Richard Gutierrez, which premiered in November 2022. In 2024, the mansion was seen as the principal photography location for the Philippine adaptation of "It's Okay to Not Be Okay," starring Carlo Aquino, Joshua Garcia, and Anne Curtis.

Celso Ledesma House

The Celso Ledesma House, or Celso Ledesma Mansion, also known as Eagle House, is a heritage house located in Iloilo City, Philippines. Situated within the Calle Real Heritage Zone in Iloilo City Proper, the house was built in 1922 by engineers Mariano Cacho and Mariano Salas for Don Celso Ledesma. During World War II, the Japanese imperial forces earmarked the house for an important official. However, as the official never arrived in Iloilo, the house and all its furniture were spared from requisition or damage. Don Celso Ledesma later bequeathed the house to his nephew, Tomas Simeon Zafiro Ledesma. The Ledesma family has continued to maintain the property. Don Zafiro Ledesma served as mayor of Iloilo City. In 2024, the house was declared a Heritage House by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines, and a historical marker commemorating the designation was unveiled by Commission staff, members of the Ledesma family, and Iloilo City Mayor Jerry Treñas.

Ayala Bridge

The Ayala Bridge (Filipino: Tulay ng Ayala) is a steel truss bridge over the Pasig River in Manila, Philippines. It connects the districts of Ermita and San Miguel, passing over the western tip of Isla de Convalecencia. It carries Circumferential Road 1 (C-1) and National Route 180 (N180), linking Ayala Boulevard in Ermita to P. Casal Street in San Miguel. History Ayala Bridge was originally two separate timber-built bridges (divided into the San Miguel and Concepcion sections after each side's point of origin, converging into Isla de la Convalecencia) when it was first built in 1872 by Don Jacobo Zangroniz Zóbel of Ayala y Compañía (now Ayala Corporation). Roughly ten years after opened, the bridge's condition had degenerated considerably. In 1899, the San Miguel portion collapsed, with the Concepcion portion following suit months later. In 1908, the bridge became the first steel bridge in the Philippines. Its current form is attributed to a 1930s reconstruction, during which it was decided to unify the bridge in a singular route. Ayala Bridge was closed to the public in early 2015 to undergo rehabilitation and structural repairs to ensure its integrity. It was raised by 70 centimeters (28 in), enabling it to withstand a 7.2-magnitude earthquake. The bridge fully reopened to motorists in November 2015. Every January 9 of the year since 2020, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority has closed the bridge for use as procession route during the Feast of the Black Nazarene.
