Iloilo City has opened two cooling hubs to provide residents with safe spaces to cool down during extreme heat. Located along Diversion Road in Mandurriao and near Jalandoni Bridge in City Proper, the hubs officially opened on Wednesday, May 6, 2026.
Sustainable Design
Mayor Raisa Treñas announced that the hubs were assembled using refurbished office materials and eco boards made from recycled plastic waste, highlighting the city's commitment to sustainable solutions.
Health Monitoring
Personnel from the City Health Office are stationed at each hub to monitor visitors' conditions and ensure their safety. Each hub operates daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and can accommodate up to 20 individuals at a time.
Encouraging Public Use
Residents are encouraged to visit these cooling hubs, especially during peak heat hours, as part of the city's efforts to protect public health and promote climate resilience. The initiative underscores Iloilo City's proactive approach to addressing the impacts of rising temperatures.
