The City of Iloilo is the capital city of the province of Iloilo in the Philippines. It is the regional center and the main economic hub of the Western Visayas region.
Iloilo is historically one of the major agricultural centers of the country, and began exporting sugar, copra, bananas, mangoes, and other natural resources during the Spanish and American colonial periods.
In the 2000 census, Iloilo City had a population of 365,820 people in 72,218 households with a 1.93% annual growth rate. It is the ninth most populous city in the Philippines. Average population density is 6,533 people per square kilometer which is half that of Tokyo.
Hiligaynon, also known as Ilonggo, is the language spoken in Iloilo City. English is used as the language of business and education. In addition, English, Tagalog and other local languages such as Kinaray-a are spoken. Hiligaynon is part of the Austronesian language branch spoken in Western Visayas.
Hiligaynon is concentrated in the provinces of Iloilo and Negros Occidental. There are approximately 7,000,000 people in and outside of the Philippines who are native speakers of Hiligaynon, and an additional 4,000,000 who are capable of speaking it with a substantial degree of proficiency. Ilonggo is also the name of the culture associated with the people speaking Hiligaynon.
