ILOILO City residents can expect a brand new Iloilo Central Market that prioritizes both safety and heritage. The Iloilo City Cultural Heritage Conservation Council and the City Government have reached an agreement to completely rebuild the historic market.This decision came after careful consideration and consultation with the National Historical Commission of the Philippines .
But a thorough evaluation revealed the structure to be unsafe with compromised structural integrity.The chosen path is a complete reconstruction, adhering to the market's architectural features and existing footprint. This ensures a safe structure for vendors and patrons alike. Necessary adjustments will be made to the building's height to accommodate the current road elevation and mitigate flooding concerns.
