This August 28, the Iloilo City Government opened the first "Library sa Merkado" initiative at Iloilo Central Market, giving market-goers a space and books to read.

It is located at the second floor, Dry Goods section, and is open from Mondays to Fridays, 8 am-5 pm with plans to extend opening hours.

Mayor Raisa Treñas led the opening ceremony and highlighted the importance of reading to strengthen literacy and reading comprehension.

The project is a joint initiative of the Iloilo City Public Library, Technical Institute of Iloilo City, and Zonta Club of Iloilo Inc., providing market-goers and nearby communities with an accessible space to read, learn, and study.

Acai berry beauty drink for skin

Acai berries are packed with powerful antioxidants—particularly anthocyanins—and essential fatty acids, making them a powerhouse for both internal health and radiant skin. When eaten, their high fiber and nutrient profile supports heart health, improves digestion, boosts immune function, and helps combat systemic inflammation. For the skin, whether consumed or applied topically, these antioxidants neutralize free radicals that cause premature aging, promoting cellular repair, enhancing skin elasticity, and leaving you with a healthy, natural glow.

The Iloilo Provincial Library has received a significant addition to its collection with the donation of the 100-volume cultural mapping inventory representing the cultural heritage of Panay and Guimaras. This collection, produced under the Cultural Mapping of Panay, Guimaras, and Negros Occidental (CMPG) Project, serves as a comprehensive documentation of the region's local identity.

Spearheaded by the University of the Philippines Visayas (UPV) in collaboration with the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA), the Office of Senator Loren Legarda, various State Universities and Colleges (SUCs), and the local government units of Panay and Guimaras, this 100-volume compendium contains detailed mapping forms on:

▪️Built heritage
▪️Movable heritage
▪️Natural resources
▪️Intangible cultural heritage
▪️Personages
▪️Cultural institutions

These donations make the collection accessible to the public, providing a valuable resource for researchers, educators, scholars, and community members seeking to understand and preserve the rich cultural fabric of the region. Senator Loren Legarda and UPV officials have emphasized that this inventory is critical for shaping local policies, boosting heritage-based tourism, and anchoring regional identity for future generations.

This donation underscores a concerted effort to make cultural mapping data readily available to source communities and stakeholders, ensuring that the heritage of Panay and Guimaras remains protected and preserved.

NOTE: Currently we have received the first batch (District 3 and City of Iloilo). We are waiting for the rest of the volumes from the donor, and the current volumes are being processed to be added to the library collection. We thank Anna Razel Limoso Ramirez and her team for bringing them to our Library.
