Iloilo, Philippines

A location with all the right connections Leganes is a coastal town in the Province of Iloilo, located in the middle of the Philippine Islands. It can distribute goods easily to other parts of Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. Leganes is accessible by air through the Iloilo Airport; by water through the nautical highway linked by roll-on-roll-off ship carriers connecting the rest of the Philippines. It also serves as a gateway to the northern part of the Panay Island. There is an established telecommunication system, making possible for the connection of internet and telephone lines to commercial and industrial locators. Another boost to the investment potential of the municipality is the realization of the proposed bridge that will connect Leganes to the island provinces of Guimaras and Negros. Occidental.
