If you have a whole day to explore Iloilo and would want to venture outside the city, Southern Iloilo is one of the best routes to take since the main attractions are just along the highway and the road conditions are very good. The towns along Iloilo’s southern coast include (from nearest to farthest): Oton, Tigbauan, Guimbal, Miagao, and San Joaquin. It takes a little more than an hour to get to San Joaquin from Iloilo City. Discover the different sights in Southern Iloilo!
I was with Eric and Junelle on my most recent road trip to Southern Iloilo. Me and Eric first went to Oton to meet up with Junelle, who lives in this town. I took Eric to see the surviving ruins of the old Oton Church, which is now being used as a grotto.

Oton has a number of fine beach resorts like Nes and Tat’s and Anhawan but we decided to skip them and move on to the next town, Tigbauan, instead. Oton is also the home of Nang Palang’s Buko Pie, which is a favored pasalubong item in Iloilo.
Tigbauan Church
From afar, the Tigbauan Church does not look very special. Upclose you will see the intricate bas relief of this Spanish Colonial Church built in Churiqueresque style.
