ILOILO YEARBOOK 2005
October 2005
It is time and the time is now!
The News Today, the most dynamic and interactive local newspaper in the region will aim to make publication history by coming out with the first ever Iloilo Yearbook. Undeniably, if there is any one province that truly deserves a comprehensive chronology and annually, it is surely Iloilo.
Iloilo, known to be the gateway to Southern Philippines and the hub of education, trade, business and industry; has witnessed not only a rich and glorious past, but is also seeing and experiencing an electric, enterprising, and ever-progressing present. And so, with the launching of our premiere edition, the Iloilo Yearbook 2005, Iloilo will be deservedly chronicled, catalogued, and captured in print.
It is part coffee-table book, part magazine and part almanac printed in full color on quality coated paper. It will provide current and authoritative information on the province and city; document major social, cultural and political events; record economic and recreational trends; showcase tourist destinations, festivals, and local products; as well as present pertinent and useful statistical and historical information, to name a few. It will capture significant moments in Iloilo’s history, government, people, lifestyle, and culture through vibrant and artistic photographs; and its pages will be replete with interesting and compelling essays and articles authored by some of the country’s leading writers.
As we are nearing the end of yet another dynamic year for the province of Iloilo, now is the right time for us to invite fellow pioneers like you to be a part of this milestone in Ilonggo publishing history.
Make your presence felt. Be seen. Be heard. Be a part of the Iloilo Yearbook 2005. Be a part of Ilonggo history.
Sincerely yours,
Marichel Teves-Magalona
Managing Director
Iloilo Yearbook 2005
