Kanang sa Bombo radyo sa una. mga 90's pato naay commercial "from the queen's city of the south". then after pila ka years kay Cebu na. lol katong ceboom ceboom ug tv commercial na "donut bai" grade 3 man siguro ko ato. diha na ko aware about cebu. The sa TV Patrol ang news kay "Cebu pumapangalawa na sa Metro Manila" then murag Waterfront Hotel ang gipakita sa video. kay sang una akong nahibaw-an about cebu kay magellan's cross ra man ug si lapu2x. lisod kaayu ning nagpuyo ta sa laing isla. kay dili ta aware sa ubang lugar unless magtravel jud ka before. unlike karon naa nay internet. lingkod ra ka then click2x sa mouse.

QUEEN CITY OF THE SOUTH: The Real Story Behind the Title

The title of Iloilo as Queen City of the South before Cebu grabbed it is a misnomer. It was not intended to mean the premiere or leading city outside Metro Manila. This was how it all began.

At the outbreak of the Philippine revolution, the Ayuntamiento (municipal council) of Jaro was the first to condemn, by way of a resolution, the revolution as "an unpatriotic act." The Ilonggo alta sociedad also responded to the news of revolution with protestation and outrage and evoked pro-Spanish loyalty. The Ayuntamiento of Iloilo followed suit and organized the Iloilo Volunteer Battalion.

The voluntarios, as members were called, were recruited from among the private population of Jaro and Iloilo and the adjoining prosperous towns of Molo, Arevalo, Oton and Sta. Barbara, and the more distant northern and eastern pueblos. They fought against the army of Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo in Cavite and Pampanga. Illustrious personalities like Martin Delgado, Quintin Salas, Pedro Monteclaro and Adriano Hernandez were among the officers of the battalion. The biggest financial contributors to the Ilongo contingent were industrialist Don Eugenio Lopez and shipping magnate Don Felix dela Rama.

In the battlefield of Cavite, the voluntarios helped the Spanish forces in the initial defeat of Aguinaldo's forces in 1897. It was the most well-equipped and well-trained contingent on the side of Spain. They helped in the fall of Silang and Imus which led to the collapse of the revolutionarie s' defenses in Cavite after a fierce battle for Zapote bridge. The Spanish Crown was elated with that Spanish and the voluntarios' victory. Queen Regent Maria Cristina issued a royal decree awarding the city of Iloilo the perpetual title LA MUY LEAL Y NOBLE CIUDAD DE ILOILO or the Most Loyal and Noble City of Iloilo "for its exemplary conduct and all its laudable action during the present insurrection, in organizing and equipping an Ilongo Volunteer Battalion..."

Since then, Iloilo was known as "THE QUEEN'S CITY," a moniker for the longer title, which, to our present-day term, is the Queen's pet city. This is because Manila was first granted an almost similar title by the Queen. The title was decreed to be incorporated in the official seal of the city.

Legally speaking, Iloilo has the perpetual right to the title Queen City by virtue of the said decree. But no Ilongo now is bothered if Cebu snatched that title away. It is a title that would perpetually shame us.

In the 1990's the City Government of Iloilo unofficially removed the title from the city seal as can be shown in its printed letterheads. To make the removal official, the city council of Iloilo should pass a resolution removing the title from the city's seal.

That's the the problem there... Who Grabbed? In what way? Is there an article that the Cebu Mayor, or the Cebu Governor or Cebu LGU's or the Cebuanos themselves took time to go to streets and shout to the whole world that Cebu is already the Queen City of the South? Nag effort ba ang Cebuanos pa MAKUHA ang title? Nanggagala-iti ba ang Cebuanos to have the title?
And in the article, where's the story when the time Cebu "GRABBED" the title... Gustong malaman ng mga Cebuanos dito kung pano kinuha (daw) or GRABBED (ninakaw?) ng mga Cebuanos ang title. Present us the whole story about your claim that Cebu "GRABBED" the title...

I hope you can answer this @gabgab

Klaro naman sa sinasabi dito...

"led the Americans to call Iloilo as the Queen city of the South because of the city's placement as the second major historical and political hub"... So it means anf Americans ang nagpasimula na dahil SECOND and Iloilo kaya tinawag nilan Queen City.

im from cebu taga compostela ko..but honestly naay right ang iloilo nga mo clam as Queen city of the south. base sa history and proclamation. Cebu was just called queen city of the south due to sa economic stands sa cebu karon..pro the rightful owner of the title is IloIlo. what if ma apsan ta sa davao city so ang davao nasad nga ma himo nga queen city of the south? what i think no. Cebu is best titled should be Oldest City of the south. give nalng the queen city of the south to iloilo nga mo jud ang original nga nanagiya. ma hulog mn gud ta mga cebuano ug copycat gud..dili ko ganahan nga ingaon ta mga cebuano nga walay originality sundogiro..

Sala ba diay sa tag Cebu nga gi nganlan tag Queen City... Ang Cebu will always be "The Island in the Pacific"...

Not even once nga gi declare sa Mayor of Cebu and Governor of Cebu nga ang Cebu City is the Queen City of the South.... Not even sa jeepneys, malls, parks diri sa Cebu nga gi sturyaan nang butang. In other words, deadma ang mga Cebuanos ana nga monicker. Ang Manila media ra ang sigeg insist og tawag ana sa Cebu.

Kung gitangtang man sa taga Iloilo ang title sa ilang official seal... problema na na nila. Bisag ilang gitang tang, wa man sad gi butang sa taga Cebu sa Cebu City official seal meaning ang "Queen City" title, wala gi recognize sa Cebu. Even Mayor Osmena before when interviewed sa Rated K ni Korina reiterated that Cebu will only be called by a single word and it would be just "CEBU"... He threw away the title "Queen City"coz it's just useless. I tag na nga title sa Cebu or dili, Cebu will still be progressive, nothing will change...
