Iloilo City stands as a shining example of progress and inclusivity, driven by a commitment to sustainable development and community empowerment.
Over the past six years, Iloilo City has achieved significant milestones under Mayor Treñas’ leadership, focusing on initiatives that promote economic growth, cultural richness, and environmental sustainability. These efforts have not only elevated the city’s profile but have also enhanced the lives of its residents.
Recognized for its vibrancy and competitiveness, Iloilo City secured accolades such as being named the Creative City of Gastronomy by UNESCO, celebrating its rich culinary heritage and commitment to cultural preservation. The city’s innovative I-Bike Program, which promotes a bike-friendly environment and garnered the prestigious 2022 Galing Pook Award, underscores its dedication to sustainable urban mobility and citizen engagement.
“Iloilo City is more than just a place; it’s a community where innovation meets tradition,” remarked Mayor Treñas. “Our achievements reflect our shared vision of building a city that thrives on creativity, inclusivity, and sustainability.”

The city’s commitment to fostering a business-friendly environment has also been recognized, earning the 2023 Most Business-Friendly Local Government Unit (LGU) award from the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI). This accolade highlights Iloilo City’s efforts in supporting local enterprises and attracting investments contributing to economic vitality.
Infrastructure development is pivotal in Mayor Treñas’ vision for Iloilo City’s future. This commitment exemplifies the upcoming revitalization of the Central and Terminal Markets through a public-private partnership with SM Prime Holdings. Valued at P1.5 billion to P2.5 billion, this project aims to modernize market facilities, providing a conducive space for local entrepreneurs to thrive and showcase their products.

“We envision our markets not just as economic hubs but as community centers that promote local culture and entrepreneurship,” Mayor Treñas emphasized. “By revitalizing these spaces, we create opportunities for our vendors to grow their businesses sustainably.”

(Iloilo City’s Mayor Jerry Treñas oversees a site inspection of the Uswag Dialysis Center in Barangay San Isidro to ensure it progresses smoothly, aiming to promptly offer free services to residents.)
Steven Tan, President of SM Supermalls, echoed this sentiment, highlighting SM’s role in supporting local communities and promoting sustainable development through infrastructure investments.
Looking ahead, Mayor Treñas remains steadfast in his dedication to advancing Iloilo City’s sustainable development agenda. “Our focus is on building a city that nurtures innovation, preserves our heritage, and enhances the quality of life for all Ilonggos,” he affirmed.

Kahanga-hangang pag-unlad ng Iloilo City
Tumatayo ang Iloilo City bilang maningning na halimbawa ng pag-unlad, na pinalalakas ng pangako ng tuloy-tuloy na pag-asenso at pagpapalakas sa mga komunidad.
Sa nakalipas na anim na taon, nakam
it ng Iloilo City ang ilang mga pagkilala sa ilalim ng pamumuno ni Mayor Treñas, na nakatuon sa mga pagkilos na magtataguyod ng paglago ng ekonomiya, pagpapayabong ng kultura, at tuloy-tuloy na pagpapayaman ng ating kalikasan.
Sa mga pagkilos na ito, hindi lang napataas ang antas ng siyudad, kundi napaganda rin ang buhay ng mga residente nito.
Nakakuha ang Iloilo City ng mga parangal, gaya ng pagiging Creative City of Gastronomy ng UNESCO, na bahagi ng mayamang kaalaman nito sa pagluluto at kultura. Nagwagi rin ang makabagong I-Bike Program ng lungsod sa prestihiyosong 2022 Galing Pook Award, na nagbibigay diin sa dedikasyon nito sa urban mobility.
”Ang Iloilo City ay higit pa sa isang lugar; ito ay isang komunidad kung saan nagtatagpo ang pagbabago at tradisyon,” wika ni Mayor Treñas. “Ang aming mga tagumpay ay sumasalamin sa aming sama-samang hangarin sa pagbuo ng isang lungsod na nabubuhay sa pagiging pagkamalikhain, inclusivity at sustainability.”
Bilang pagkilala sa pagsusulong ng pinalakas na klima para sa pagnenegosyo, nakuha rin ng lungsod ang 2023 Most Business-Friendly Local Government Unit (LGU) award mula sa Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI). Tampok sa parangal na ito ang pagsisikap ng lungsod na suportahan ang mga lokal na negosyo at pag-akit ng mga negosyante na magdadagdag sa sigla ng ekonomiya.
Mahalaga rin sa plano ni Mayor Trenas ang pagpapalago ng imprastraktura para sa kinabukasan ng Iloilo City. Makikita ang katuparan ng pangakong ito sa pagbuhay sa Central at Terminal Markets sa pamamagitan ng public-private partnership sa SM Prime Holdings. Nagkakahalaga ng P1.5 bilyon hanggang P2.5 bilyon, layon ng proyekto na gawing moderno ang ang mga pasilidad ng pamilihan, at bigyan ng magandang espasyo ang mga lokal na negosyante na makatutulong sa kanila para umunlad at maitampok ang kanilang mga produkto.
“Nakikita natin ang mga palengkeng ito hindi lang bilang economic hubs kundi mga community center na nagtataguyod ng lokal na kultura at pagnenegosyo,” pagbibigay-diin ni Mayor Treñas. “Sa pamamagitan ng pagpapasigla sa mga espasyong ito, gumagawa kami ng pagkakataon para sa aming mga vendor na mapalago ang kanilang mga negosyo nang tuluy-tuloy.”
Kinatigan ni Steven Tan, Presidente ng SM Supermalls, ang pananaw na ito ni Mayor Trenas, sa pagbibigay diin sa papel ng SM sa pagsuporta sa mga lokal na komunidad at pagsusulong ng tuloy-tuloy na pag-asenso sa pamamagitan ng pamumuhunan sa imprastraktura.
Sa hinaharap, sinabi ni Trenas na matibay ang kanyang hangarin na isulong ang pakay na tuloy-tuloy na pag-unlad para sa Iloilo City. “Ang aming pokus ay nakatuon sa pagbuo ng isang lungsod na pinapaigting pa ang mga pagbabago, pinapanatili ang mga pamana ng kultura, at pinahuhusay ang kalidad ng buhay para sa lahat ng Ilonggo,” wika niya.
