Captivating Capiz

You would be wondering why we are posting awesome things about Capiz. Well first, this is our school project and as Capizeños we are promoting our beloved province. Our main goal is to appear on the first 20 pages when you google "Capiz". One way to make that happen is on how many times the word "Capiz" appears on our blog. So...I've got my fingers crossed...Hope this would work!!

I think that's already a lot of Capizes...haha...I hope Google would be a good munchkin and put on the first 20 pages!!! Thanks a lot....

Capiz is Famous For.....

Birthplace of Manuel Roxas (Roxas City)
Located in the city proper; a two-storey hardwood and stone house of First Philippine President Manuel Roxas, now a historical shrine.

Moro Towers (Sitio Nipa, Roxas City)
Half-torn stone structures built in 1814 in order to repel the invading Moros and Portuguese colonizers.


Historical

Capiz National High School
One of the pioneering educational institutions in the province, Capiz National High School (formerly Capiz High School) was established and completely organized in 1914. Its imposing structure and location (top of a hill) is always a welcome sight. Its 48-step stairway is a popular spot for picture-taking.

Roxas City Bridge (Old Capiz Bridge)
The old and imposing Roxas City Bridge (formerly Capiz Bridge) remained strong and firm after it was built in 1910. Overlooking the Panay River, the bridge is a silent witness to various changes that ushered in progress and development in the city. Like the old bridge, equally alluring is the huge stretch of Panay River that transverses the very heart of the city. Passing the major edifice of the city, the river of Roxas City has been dubbed as the “Venice of the Visayas”.


Cultural

Ang Panublion (Roxas City Museum)
Built in 1910 as a water tank; has memorabilia of illustrious sons and daughters of Roxas City; collections of religious icons, artifacts, and artworks.

Mundo Dance (Tapaz)
The dance of the mountain tribe known as Mundo is a vanishing remnant of pre-Malayan Indonesian immigrants to Panay. The dance retains to this day the original choreography arranged around ancient Indonesian fertility rites.

Natural


Baybay Beach (Roxas City)
Three kilometers from the city proper, this clean black sand beach has beach houses, motorboats for boating and fishing. Also a good place for water skiing.

Olutayan Island
30 minute pumpboat ride from Banica Terminal, Roxas City. The waters are crystal clear. Thirty feet below, multi-colored fishes cavort in flashes of blue, yellow, and red colors sliding through colorful seaweeds. The island’s beach is carpeted with tiny crushed shells called cascaho.

Quipot Cave (Bgy. Burias Mambusao)
30 minute ride over rough roads, it is about 3 km. from the Mambusao Agricultural and Technical College or around 9 km. from the town proper. Wild birds, deer, and wild ducks abound in the place. Near the cave is a stream. The cave consists of many chambers, each at a level different from other chambers. In certain sections, one has to crawl because the space between the roof and cave floor is just two or three feet. There are also sections that seem like a dead end, except for small openings through which only one person can crawl. These holes lead to a chamber as big as a hotel ballroom, which is why it is dubbed as the “Quipot Hilton”. There are plenty of stalactites and stalagmites. The cave is cool inside.

Napti Island (Pan-ay)
About three to four hectares big, located near Olutayan Island; has white sand, small cave, and abundant shells for necklaces. The beach is inviting. The water is cool and clear and free of troublesome jellyfish the whole year round. A small cave, about 100 meters long, winds several feet below the surface across the island. It commands a breathtaking view of Roxas City and Pan-ay. Fishing enthusiasts and gourmets have a wonderful time here because of the plentiful fish and lobster.

Buntod Beach (Pan-ay)
About a kilometer long and is located far from the inhabited section of Pan-ay; one of the cleanest beaches in Capiz; has fine black sand with a beach free of jellyfish all year round; and its water is cool and clear. It is approximately 10 minutes by jeepney, car, and tricycle from the town. It is also accessible by speedboat or pumpboat from any point of Capiz.

Pilar Cave (Pilar)
One and a half km. from the poblacion by jeepney, tricyle, and car over rough roads. About two years ago, townspeople discovered earthen pots with intricately incised designs. The caves must have been burial sites of pre-Spanish Filipinos. The Balisong Cave where the Capiz revolucionarios routed Spanish soldiers is also found hereabouts. The side of the mountain where the caves are is a spectacular sight. It is grayish-black rock rising 200 ft. to the sky. Plants, orchids among them, hang from the cliffs, blooming in the summer and filling the air with exotic frangrances.

Casanayan (Pilar)
A fishing village wherein patis and ginamos are made; vast fields of sugar cane, rice, and corn on the 3 km. road from the highway to this place. It has a beautiful 3 km. stretch of fine gray sand beach fringed with palm trees that neatly line the village as a haven for those who seek refuge from the city hassles. Casanayan is a barrio gifted with a bizarre phenomenon - a woman’s dead body that refuses to decay. Maria Basanes died at the age of 47 from a heart attack way back in 1829. When her body was exhumed ten years after her death, it was found intact and well-preserved, which was surprising because her embalming was supposedly good for only 3 days. Now, the dead body, brownish-black and light and hard as wood, stands inside a small hand-me-down. Her forehead has a portion where its skin was peeled off surreptitiously by men who believed it could be a lucky charm in fishing.

Tucad Reef (Pilar)
It is 10 km. from the Pilar shoreline; this is a submarine islet of seashells and corals topped with thin layers of sand. When the tide is low the whole island emerges, and with it, shells and corals of different colors - green, red, blue, pink, clear water. From this marine garden, the mountains of Masbate can be seen. Tucad Reef is accessible by a pumpboat or on foot during low tides.

Suhot Cave (Dumalag)
Situated in Dumalag, Capiz and only 300 meters away from the provincial road. It is actually a series of interconnected caverns of different sizes. At the cave’s arched entrance is a pool of clear, ice-cold water fed by a rock spring from within the cave. Further on, however, is a crack in the rocks where sulfurous water comes out. Suhot is believed to have a connecting tunnel to the Badiang Cave in Dumarao since both caves are found in the same mountain only 6 km. apart from each other, although Badiang is on a higher elevation. On the other hand, entrance to Badiang is hidden by dense jungle. In pre-war days, phosphate was said to have been extracted from the cave but it was a short-lived effort.

Igang Cave (Maayon)
A limestone cave found in Tapulang, Maayon, around 7 km. away from the poblacion or a 15 minute ride by car or jeepney. It has several entrances at different levels which lead to a central chamber and fan out again to different passages. Big star-like structures connect upper portions to the central chamber, which is well lighted and well ventilated. A gradually sloping passage, 7 feet wide and a foot high, takes one to the lower chamber, which unlike the upper and central chambers is dark. The floor here is covered with guano which townspeople use as fertilizer. The cave has stalactities and stalagmites.

The Coves of Ivisan (Brgy. Basiao & Brgy. Balaring)
10 km. or 30 minutes by jeepney, car or tricycle over rough roads from the town proper. These two barangays have cornered the white sand beach coves in the whole Capiz. In Basiao are the following coves: Marangcalan, Dinogmaan, Patyo, and Basiao.

Suhoton Caves
Located in Jamindan, it has several multi-layered chambers in its vast interior. Inside one chamber is an altar-like formation surrounded by stalagmites that seem like giant images in silent repose. Some chambers are as big as hotel ballrooms or cathedrals.

Mantalinga Island
Nearby Mantalinga Island, which is a kilometer away from the shoreline of Baybay beach, has been identified by the Department of Tourism as an ideal spot for scuba divers and a perfect rotunda for sailboat (dilayag) and kayaking contests. Recently named “Good Luck Island” by DOT consultants, the place is believed by the local fisherfolk as source of luck when names of their fishboats are written on the side of the island before it goes fishing for the first time.

Religious


Pan-ay Church
This awe-inspiring church is a monument to past Spanish grandeur in Pan-ay town. Almost a small fortress, it is about 250 ft. long and 80 ft. wide with 9-ft. thick walls of coral blocks. The floor is colored marble that shines in subdued tone in misty light. The central altar is an elaborately sculptured retablo of silver and hardwood in florid Baroque style. The lateral altars have intricately carved tiers of niches for images of saints. Sta. Monica is the patron saint. The church’s five story belfry shelters a huge antique bell surrounded by 8 smaller bells. Shrouded with many enchanting tales, the huge bell holds more fascinating truth. It was cast from 76 sacks of coins believed to have been contributed by the citizens of the town. Its mammoth size holds a staggering record. It is seven feet in diameter and weighs 10.4 tons. In fact, it is estimated to be the largest in Southeast Asia.

Dumalag Church
It is 200 feet long and 50 feet wide. The walls are 3 feet thick and made of yellow sandstone. It has two doors at its side and one main doorway in front. There are six arched windows at each side with columns between them reaching to the roof. There are also small buttresses at the sides. The facade is decorated with small columns. At the front left side of the church is the 5-story belfry housing 5 bells of different sizes, all made in 1881. The church’s interior is shaped like a cross. The church was finished in 1872 when Fr. Andel Abasolo was parish priest of the town.

Our Lady of Immaculate Conception Cathedral
One of the oldest in Panay Island, the church is a silent witness to events that have unfolded in the city over the past centuries. Its imposing view is being complimented by its location which is beside the city plaza fronting the Panay River and the old Capiz (now Roxas City bridge). Fiesta lights add glitter to the church.

Man-Made


Mussel Farm (Sapian)
Ten kilometers north of the town’s commercial hub, out in the sea, this mussel farm patiently lies like a silent picture of a thousand bamboo stilts arrayed 6 feet apart into the briny water. However, each bamboo pole stuck through the sea floor 6 to 7 feet deep yields hundreds of fat dark green mussels neatly arranged like dark distended leaves sprouting heavily on top of each other. One gets to this sea farm by means of pump boats, dugouts or rafts from Sitio Angkin.

Festivals

Sinadya sa Halaran
One of Roxas City’s most important annual events is the Sinadya sa Halaran festival. A fusion of two festivals – “Sinadya” (City) and “Halaran” (Province) which literally means joy in sharing and thanksgiving. It is celebrated on December 4-8 to commemorate the religious activities that embody the true Capiceño spirit. The highlights of the celebration are the Dancing Parade, ”Higantes”, Fluvial Parade, Fireworks display, Mutya sa Halaran beauty pageant, Coronation of the Fiesta Queen, and Agri-Aqua Trade Fair.

Balintawakan Festival
Pontevedra. Balintawakan is a simple gathering, mostly of senior citizens of Pontevedra, Capiz who are sentimentally bound together to an unwritten commitment to preserve a simple tradition which began long ago and was only interrupted by WWII. Every December 31 people hold a Binayle at the town’s public market. Its highlight is the search for Miss Balintawakan as the Festival Queen. The event is capped by a Rigodon de Honor. The Filipino costume called Balintawak is the official attire of the womenfolk participating in the affair.

Special Interest


Spelunking
Go spelunking. The caves of Pilar, Suhot, Igang and Suhoton are
waiting for you.

Economic

Cutflowers
Aside from its rich fishing grounds, cutflower cultivation is now gaining popularity among the residents in Roxas City as an agri-based income-generating industry.

Cottage Industry
Numerous home and cottage industries amply augment household incomes, among which are poultry and liverstock raising, handicraft, shellcraft, ceramics, lime processing, garments, farm tools fabrication, furniture and boat making.

Capiz Culture (Festivals)

Capiz is very famous for its culture especially the Aswang Festival that had created such a great controversy between the Capizeños but is now resolved. Besides the Aswang Festival, Capiz has more festivals like the Sinadya sa Halaran and the Diwal Festival.

Aswang Festival

Capiz is known for a popular local myth of Aswang, a generic name for ghouls, monsters and witches. On October 29 to 30, 2004, Capiz inaugurated the Aswang Festival, organized by a nongovernmental group Dugo Capiznon, Incorporated. It was a Halloween-like Fiesta as a prelude to All Soul's Day and All Saint's Day festivals. It was, however, condemned by the Catholic hierarchy and some local officials, as an act of adoring the devil. When former Capiz Gov. Vicente Bermejo assumed as mayor of Roxas City in July 2007, the controversial festival was stopped.

Sinadya sa Halaran

Sinadya sa Halaran which mean “joy in offering” is the major festival in Roxas which is mostly awaited event every December 4-8 to commemorate the feast of Our Lady of Immaculate conception. mini “baklaran’s” surrounds the plaza. There are parades from different companies and schools on the first day. Pageants and other activities to make the next 4 night interesting and entertaining for the visitor that came from different places just to join the festival.


Diwal Festival

The city celebrates the Diwal Festival every July to further promote this exotic shellfish which is now only found in the one and only sea food capital of the Philippines because of its clean coastal seas.


Balintawakan Festival (every 15th day of May), Pontevedra, Capiz

Balintawakan is a simple gathering, mostly of senior citizens of pontevedra, Capiz who are sentimentally bound together to an unwritten commitment to preserve a simple tradition which began long ago and was only interrupted by World War II. Every December 31 people hold a Binayle at the town's public market. Its highlight is the search for Miss Balintawakan as the Festival Queen. The event is capped by a Rigodon de Honor. The Filipino costume called Balintaw is the official attire of the womenfolk participating in the affair.


The Geographical Aspects of Capiz

Definitely Bewitching


Capiz is one of the six provinces of Western Visayas shaped like an open palm. Its pride is an 80 km. coastline abundant with different kinds of fishes and shells all year round making Capiz the Seafood Capital of the Philippines (teh, diin kamu da?!). Its capital is Roxas City and is located at the northeastern portion of Panay Island, bordering Aklan and Antique to the west, and Iloilo to the south. Capiz faces the Sibuyan Sea to the north. Capiz is known for its mother-of-pearl shells that have the same name and are used for decoration, making lampshades, trays, window doors, etc.


Capiz is located on a small island formed by the Panay and Banica rivers. The Panay river used to be famous for the great number of alligators thriving there. The soil is poor in the northern part of the island and is most productive only in the southern part. Capiz is bounded by the Mindoro sea, the Panay, Loctugan and Ivisan rivers.


Our century old churches, unexplored caves that hides extra ordinary treasures. Enchanting waterfalls. That hides on the tropical forest. Wide beaches and isolated coves full of mysteries that are to be explored. Wonders at its best. Captivating travelers that are bold enough to explore the beauty of Capiz.

The Unconventionals

Human beings are the highest form of living organisms. Though us humans are very complex members of the society, we also have flaws. First of all there are the flaws of the nervous system specifically the brain. If you think this flaw is like your head being filled up with Ammonia, Helium, Hydrogen, Lead, Carbonic Acid, Hydrochloric Acid and most importantly OXYGEN, you are obviously wrong. You would end up making the Periodic Table of Elements as your head then. Though I know a particular person that act like he/she (playing safe) has all the elements and compounds locked up in his/her (once again playing safe) head. People, especially me, think he's a mumbo-jumbo or something. Fact number one guyz, he has a mental complication or some kind of a disease that seem like the combination of ADHD, Cerebral Palsy, Autism, Cysts in the brain, Brain Tumors and the best of them all Alzheimer's disease (no offense).

Yes, there are a lot of disadvantages when you are unconventional. I wouldn't state those "disadvantages" it would be very unfair.

So what is this "advantage" that I'm blabbing about?

We all know that there are two major organs that does the decision making. Our MIND - tells us what's right and wrong etcetera etcetera. It decides in a logical way leaving us unhappy though it makes the right choice. Our HEART - the one that decides on what makes us happy but doesn't really make the right choices all the time.

The point I'm trying to make is if a person has a malfunctioned brain, that person only has his/her heart to do all the deciding stuff which makes this person very happy about the choice made. Especially when it comes to love. This person would just follow his/her heart's decision without his/her stupid brain to interfere. The good part is PEOPLE TRY TO AND UNDERSTAND THAT PERSON!!! People would think that it's normal for that person to do this and that because he/she is abnormal (no offense). Comparing the situation to us normal people, we have the "two organs" for the decision making which frequently causes conflict. This conflict makes us confused making us more depressed. If we make a move when it comes to love people would think that we're out of our minds.

I sometimes think that if I only have my heart to decide I would be very happy and I won't care what people would think or say but I would end up making the wrong choice. If we would have only one of those organs, either the heart or the mind, we would still go to a dead end.

This time, "The Unconventionals" win.

A Little Something About Love

You know what’s sad about love?

It’s when you happen to know that theirs just no hope for being together yet you still pray to make it work.

It’s when your mind says let go but your heart says hold on..

it’s when you dream of that person almost every night only to wake up in the morning with tears in your eyes..

and most of all it’s when no matter how you try to forget that person you just cant.

coz of the fact that you love that person and you just don’t know why…..


Below are some of the pick-up lines usually used to melt someone’s heart.

Did you fart? Because you blew me away
You must be in a wrong place - the Miss Universe contest is over there.
Was that an earthquake or did u just rock my world?
I may not be a genie but I can make your dreams come true
Are you a magnet cuz im attracted to you
Does this rag smell like chloroform to you?
I wish you were DSL so I could get high-speed access.
I know its not Christmas, but Santa’s lap is always ready.
Baby your like a student and I am like a math book, you solve all my
problems
“Why does it feel like the most beautiful girl in the world is in this
room?”
Can I take a picture of you, so I can show Santa just what I want for
Christmas.

I was blinded by your beauty so I’m going to need your name and number for insurance reasons.
I’m sorry, were you talking to me? Her: No. Well then, please start.
I know I dont have a chance, but I just wanted to hear an angel talk.
Roses are red, violets are blue, how would you like it if I came home with you?
Hey I just realized this, but you look alot like my next girlfriend.
Are your legs tired, because you’ve been running through my mind all day long.
Are you lost? Because heaven’s a long way from here.
POOF! (What are u doing?) I’m here, where are your other two wishes?
I hope you know CPR, because you take my breath away.
Girl, you better have a license, cuz you are driving me crazy!
If you were the new burger at McDonalds you would be the Mcgorgeous!
Do you have the time? (she gives you the time) No, the time to write my number down .
Let’s make like a fabric softener and snuggle.
Are you an interior decorator? When I saw you the room became beautiful.
Hello, I’m a thief, and I’m here to steal your heart.
Is that top felt? [No] Would you like it to be?
Apart from being sexy, what do you do for a living?
Is your last name Gillete cause your the best a man can get.
Are you a parking ticket? (What?) You got fine written all over you.
I’m invisible. (Really?) Can you see me? (Yes) How about tomorrow night?
You can fall off a building, you can fall out a tree, but baby, the best way to fall is in love with me.
I have never had a dream come true until the day that I met you.
You look life my first wife! (how many have you had?) none.
Do you have a sunburn, or are you always this hot?
I’m addicted to yes, and I’m allergic to no. So what’s it gonna be?
If I could rearrange the alphabet, I’d put U and I together.
Turn to the girl sitting next to you at the bar and say… “I’m not really this tall….I’m sitting on my wallet.”
This is a test of the emergency pickup line service. Beeeeeeeeeep. If you had been any less beautiful, you would have just heard a bad pickup line.
If this bar is a meat market, you must be the prime rib.
I know I’m not a grocery item but I can tell when you’re checking me out.
If beauty were sunlight, you’d shine from a million light-years away.
Do you mind if I hang out here until its safe back where I farted.
Life without you would be like a broken pencil…pointless.
Your body is a wonderland and i want to be Alice.
I’m like chocolate pudding, I look like crap but im as sweet as can be.
Can I have directions? ["To where?"] To your heart.
Are you an alien? because you just abducted my heart.
Did you fart, ’cause you blow me away!
I hope there’s a fireman around, cause you’re smokin’!
If you were a booger I’d pick you first.
Excuse me, I think you have something in your eye. Nope, it’s just a sparkle.
You’ve been a bad girl/boy. Go to my room.
If beauty were time, you’d be an eternity.
Do you know karate? ‘Cause your body is really kickin’.
Are you as beautiful on the inside as you are on the outside?
Like the sheets on your bed I want cover you with love.
Do you have a Bandaid? Because I just scraped my knee falling for you.
Hi, I just wanted to give you the satisfaction of turning me down; go ahead say no.
I hope your day is as radiant as your smile.
You make me melt like hot fudge on a sundae.
You know what? Your eyes are the same color as my Porsche.
Are you an alien?, because you just abducted my heart.
What has 142 teeth and holds back the incredible hulk? My zipper.
I can tell your future, it is you giving me your number.
Hi, I’m Mr. Right. Someone said you were looking for me.
Giant polar bear (What?) It’s an icebreaker. Hi, my name is….
Your so hot when i look at you I get a tan
I must be a snowflake, ‘cuz I’ve fallen for you.
You look so sweet your givin me a toothache.
My love for you is like the universe…neverending!!
If looks could kill you would be a weapon of mass destruction.
You - “Did it hurt”. The other person will naturally say “Did what hurt?”, You - “When you fell from heaven.”
Excuse me, can you empty your pockets? I believe you have stolen my heart.
Do you have a map? Because I just keep getting lost in your eyes!
You say “I bet you $20 I can kiss you without using my lips.” She says, “Bet’s on.” You kiss her then say, “I lost.”
You got something on your chest: my eyes
Do you believe in the hereafter? Well, then I guess you know what I’m here after.
I don’t know if you’re beautiful or not, I haven’t gotten past your eyes yet.
What does it feel like to be the most beautiful girl in this room?
Your eyes are as blue as my toilet water at home.
I’m not drunk, I’m just intoxicated by you.
Do you want to make millions? millions of babies!
The night is young, the moon is bright, and you are here with me tonight.
I wanna bag you like some groceries.
kiss me if I am wrong, but isn’t your name (take a guess)…Janice????
Are you from Tennessee? Cause you’re the only TEN I see

JOKE 1
Dowry/Nuptial Presents

Isang Pinoy ang nagtayo ng Company sa isang bansa sa Asia. Makalipas ang apat na buwan, dumalo siya sa party ng Ambassador. Doon sa Embassy, nakita niya ang napakagandang Secretary ng Amb. Sabay ligaw agad ang Pinoy. Tradition dito sa bansa, pag nanligaw ka, magbibigay ka ng dowry/nuptial presents para makapag-asawa ka. Sasabihin agad ng babae kung ano ang gusto niya.

Babae: 1st dowry, bigyan mo ako ng 14 carat gold wedding band at 72 carat diamond ring. Tumawag ang Pinoy sa cell phone at sinabi sa kaniyang Accountant ang kailangan. Sabi ng Accountant, walang problema. Naisip ng Secretary na 'easy' lang pala ang unang request kaya't tataasan niya ang susunod na dowry.

Babae: 2nd dowry, magpatayo ka ng 60 acre mansion sa New York at 40 acre summer home in France. Tinawag ng Pinoy ang kaniyang Broker sa NY at France. Sagot ng mga Broker, wala rin problema.

Babae: 3rd dowry pakakasal lang ako kung 10 inches ang "ari" mo! Dahil dito, biglang namutla ang Pinoy at hindi makapag-salita agad.

Babae: Akala mo, kaya mong lahat ang dowry ko. Wala ka pala ibubuga tungkol doon sa ari mo!

Pinoy: Sorry po, maski na masakit, ipapaputol ko na rin ang ari ko sa haba na 10 inches long!

Lovers And Liars


They say you have to kiss a few frogs before you find your prince
Took so long to find that I thought he didn't exist, wasn't convinced

But babe seems you got me believing once again in a fairytale

Love shown each and everyday is proving maybe this time it will prevail


Always been quick to fall in the past, giving into dangerous desire

Then realizing I'd only found Mr cheater, Mr Wrong and Mr liar

Only this time it feels so different, thinking I've found Mr right

A once broken and shattered heart you've caused to ignite


Tried so hard to fight how I felt, all of those growing feelings

Only now I'm feeling sure, this is one love that's so appealing
Caring, gentle, kind, affectionate...finally found my lover

Never would have guessed I had so much to learn and discover


Always fell for the bad guy, proceeded without hesitation
Each and every time, heartbreak was my only destination

This time feeling so safe and loved, yearning for your touch

Never would have guessed it possible for me to love so much


Only been a short time, but I'd be bereft without you in my life

Would be trying to live, but already know I would only survive

Days would be long, nights so empty, leaving me cold and frozen

I'd finally truly understand the meaning of being heart broken


They say you have to kiss a few frogs before you find your prince

Took so long to find that I thought he didn't exist, wasn't convinced

But babe seems you got me believing me once again in a fairytale

Love shown each and everyday is proving maybe this time it will prevail
