No Spooky in Roxas City

It was a summer of service season and the next assignment was Roxas City were we provided training in leadership and sports. It was my first time to ride Superferry. It was quite interesting because there were so many things you can do in the ship as you try to burn several hours just to get to your destination.

As we begun our training sessions, the first emphasis said by one of the students was, ‘hindi kami multo’ which reminded me that Capiz (it’s capital is Roxas City) is perceived as a place with many ‘aswang’. The city, though simple compared to other cities, is dubbed as the seafood capital of the Philippines. No wonder manang in the school’s canteen was a very good cook. She spoiled us with lots of seafood. If you want to have more, you may take a tricycle and visit Baybay beach and eat in any of the restaurant along the seaside.

There were also many bars were you can hang out. I was surprised seeing high school students inviting us to be at a party in their local bars. But I had fun though time was not enough because we had to finish our duties and do our own laundry knowing there were laundry shops nearby. Hehe…

When you’re there, try to visit the biggest bell in Asia located in one of the municipalities in Capiz. It’s sad I just lost of pictures in Roxas. Huhu…
