Barangay Ortiz located in the southern portion of Iloilo City Proper, known for it's long rock wharf, was once a rural area up until the late 19th century when people were attracted to the area because of it's proximity to Iloilo City and Jordan on Guimaras Island. Ortiz became a thriving Port with the upgrade of the Ortiz wharf in the mid 1960s. Ortiz is no longer used as the ferry port to Guimaras Island.

We have used Ortiz wharf to travel to Guimaras 10 years ago (Dec 2014) and it was quite an experience, very crowded and chaotic with steep, short concrete steps leading down to the Bancas. It is barely recognizable now.
