About
About Roxas City
Formerly the town of Capiz, also the name of its province, Roxas, named after the 4th President of the Philippines (which is also its most famous native), is both the provincial capital and commercial center of Capiz. It still has the feel of a typical Spanish-era Filipino town, but it now has malls and a growing central business district, the Pueblo de Panay. Roxas City's economy is largely dependent on seafood, which the city is known for.
