  1. Good day, Sir!

    We are Andrew and Bianca, Multimedia Arts students from iACADEMY in Makati, and are currently working on a tourism website of Panay for our thesis project. In line with this, we would like to request of an online interview with you regarding Iloilo's tourism status.

    We hope you'll have time to read and favor our request. Thank you very much.

    (I am sorry if this message might seem informal, Sir. We have been trying to contact your office via email [tourism_office@iloilo.gov.ph and iloiloprovincialtourism@gmail.com] since April 2015, but we're unfortunate that we haven't got a response until now.)
