About this place
Roxas City is the provincial capital of Capiz on the island of Panay, best known as the seafood capital of the Philippines. Its economy and local culture revolve around fresh seafood, with broad fishponds and bustling markets that supply much of the region. While the city has a growing central business district called Pueblo de Panay and modern malls, it retains the relaxed feel of a Spanish-era Filipino town.
The city is named after Manuel Roxas, the fourth President of the Philippines and Capiz's most famous native. For visitors, Roxas City offers a compact, walkable center, easy access to neighboring provinces, and a genuine taste of provincial life in Western Visayas.
