Roxas

Roxas is one of the richest fishing grounds in the Philippines. As the country’s seafood capital, it played a major part in reviving the “diwal” or Angel Wing Clams. The shellfish, which is a highly prized local delicacy, almost became extinct. The city celebrates the “Diwal Festival” in December after the celebration of the city’s founding with the “Sinadya sa Halaran” Festival. The city is one of the alternate routes for travelers going to the island of Boracay. One of the major attractions of the city is its proximity to the town of Panay where the Santa Monica Church is found. It is made of coral stones and is home to the largest bell in Asia, the Panay Bell, a 10.4 ton bell made from 70 sacks of coins donated by the townsfolk. Roxas offers high quality education and in fact has a 95.4% literacy rate.
