The 118th charter anniversary of the Civil Government of Capiz highlights the province’s richness in agricultural and seafood products.
Among the agri products displayed in the festival are the capiz shells, abaca fiber, and cacao.
Also featured in the festivity are the sumptuous seafood varieties that are presented in the buffet table for everyone’s enjoyment.
There was an overflow of prawns, king crabs, saltwater crabs, squids, fish and oysters enough to feed an army.
Fruits also abound on the table.
Capizeños take pride of their seafood products because of the unique taste and quality.
Proof of this is the big demand for Capiz seafood products from hotels and resorts from other parts of the country.
“Ang amon mga producer, they are all happy because ginaagawan muna kun kaisa indi naton ma control ang price because naga agaw ang Boracay, naga agaw ang metro manila specially nga crabs, prawns talaba sang Capiz may ara nga quality nga manami [Our producers are happy because (merchants) outbid each other, sometimes we can no longer control the price. Those from Boracay bid against those from Metro Manila for crabs, prawns, and oysters of Capiz],” said the Capiz Governor Tony Del Rosario.
The Governor added that the province can now also export its seafood products to Hong Kong and other parts of Europe.
Meanwhile, the local government has launched a new Capiz Tourism and Culture Display Center at the Provincial Park wherein the products of the province are being showcased.
