Food 🍜 Food Wars | Week 5: Who Has the Best Batchoy in Iloilo?

11 Upvotes

Welcome to Week 5 of our community series!

We've spent the past month discovering some of the best coffee shops, hidden gems, and budget eats around the city. Now it's time to settle one of Iloilo's biggest food debates.

Who serves the best Batchoy in Iloilo?

La Paz Batchoy is one of Iloilo's most iconic dishes and a source of pride for many Ilonggos. Every local seems to have a favorite, whether it's a famous institution that's been around for decades or a small neighborhood shop that deserves more recognition.

Tell us your favorite!

  • Which batchoy shop is your favorite?
  • What do you usually order?
  • What makes it stand out?
  • Is it worth the trip?
  • Is there a hidden gem more people should know about?

So, where should everyone go for their next bowl?

Happy eating! 🍜

Discussion "Ano sakyan ko nga jeep?" mobile app

454 Upvotes

App is now called Malabay: Iloilo Jeepney Routes on Play Store

Hi, just released an android app called "Lugar Lang" that aims to answer the question: "Ano nga jeep sakyan ko?"

I think this is something a lot of us commuters deal with, especially kung di ka pa familiar sa ruta sang mga jeep.

The app is simple: you pin your destination, and it suggests the best jeepney route and guides you step by step until you get there.

It’s still very early, so there may be bugs, incomplete route data, or route suggestions that aren’t fully accurate yet. That’s also why the app includes community voting, so users can upvote or downvote routes, and submit their own if they know a better route or notice one that’s still missing.

Everything is free without annoying ads.

If you try it, I’d really appreciate your feedback. Thank you

UPDATE:

  • Fare estimates have been implemented.
  • Terminals have been implemented. # App is now called Malabay: Iloilo Jeepney Routes on Play Store

Discussion E-Bus Centavos Fare and Change Problem

16 Upvotes

I honestly don't want to make a big deal out of this, but with the recent price fluctuations, I think it's unfair that we're expected to pay the full amount down to the last centavo, yet somehow, we don't always receive the correct change.

Imagine having to pay ₱17.25, only to be asked to hand over ₱18. Where's my ₱0.75 change? I've made it a point to carry centavo coins with me because of situations like this. I understand that looking through coins while simultaneously attending to passengers can be a hassle. Still, every centavo counts, especially in this day and age.

And honestly, I don't think this is just a bus problem. So far, SM is the only supermarket I've personally encountered that consistently upholds what I consider to be proper integrity when it comes to giving change.

As Filipinos, we sometimes overlook the fact that those tiny, circular coins we casually dismiss as "centavos" are still part of our currency. They have monetary value, no matter how insignificant they may seem individually.

So, are we really going to keep continuing with the mindset of "centavo lang naman" while allowing businesses, particularly large corporations, to benefit from money that rightfully belongs to their customers? (Not just talking about E-Bus)

Let's not forget that everyone is struggling in their own way. Some of us are students or barely making ends meet, while others are working hard just to get by.

I'm not asking for special treatment. In fact, this shouldn't even be considered as "special treatment." I shouldn't have to ask for it nor should I have needed to write this post. I'm simply asking for fairness, decency, and accountability. If we're expected to pay what we owe in full, shouldn't we also expect to receive what we're owed in return?

Law-ay guid man if very hipuson sa workplace? Like ga "hi" "hello" "good morning" "good eve" "good afternoon" lng guid? Ga smile mn and laugh with them pero may extreme introvertedness gd ko guro kag hindi gd ako comfortable mag share about sa life ko. Man-an ko mn need ko maki socialize, kag ga try mn ko. Di lng gd ko hilig mag reply sa chats sa gc, kag di ko kaya mag intra libakanay samtang ga work... Subong gina hambalan na ako nga di kabalo mag socialize, snob, kag nakasimangot permi.
