Agony Hill, Alimodian

Agony Hill is the Via Cruses or the Fourteen Station at the top of the hill. Every year Catholics celebrate the Lenten Season, locals and tourists alike flock to Agony Hill in Alimodian for their devotion of faith. Prepare for the climb by wearing comfortable clothings, sunscreens, hats, towels and bottles of water. You have to protect yourself from the sun.

At the end of Agony Hill are stalls selling food and water. You have to walk yourself down from the hill and a few more kilometers to reach the high way where tricycles and jeepneys await. How to get there? From Iloilo City, go to Jaro Market (at the back of Jaro Cathedral) and ride an Alimodian jeepney, it would cost you around php 27 to reach the Poblacion. Thou jeepney rarely travels, your best bet is to have your own car and park it at the Municipality area and ride a tricycle back to Poblacion which cost around php 7-10. Ito ang Panata ko!
