Current 2026 official and traveler sources provide hotel, food, transport, tour, and total trip context. Tours should be a visible optional/assumption line because they have an outsized impact for a solo traveler.

## Iloilo City, Philippines

**Status: One-source-away.**

Current official destination information and fresh local traveler discussion support the general direction, but not a complete independent solo category breakdown. Keep it unpriced until one more current source confirms private lodging, food, local transport, and ordinary activities.
