Climate

Climate typeClimate typePAGASA sorts the country's climate into four types by when the rain falls. Type I has a dry season from November to April and a wet one for the rest of the year; Type II has no dry season, with the most rain from December to February; Type III has a short dry season; Type IV has rain spread through the year.More in the glossary

Type III[36]

No clear rainiest time of year, and a short dry season of one to three months, in December to February or in March to May.

Covers about 87 of every 100 parts of its land. Read by Scene off PAGASA's climate map, so approximate: the type that covers most of the place's land.

History & Identity

Capiz's fiesta and days

Everything listed for Capiz in Now

Created
A Spanish province since the 16th century, with its capital at Panay and later at Capiz town; its civil government was set up under Act No. 115, enacted 15 April 1901[9, 10]

How it got its name

Local traditionThe province's history tells that in 1570, in Capiz, the wife of Datu Bankaya bore twin daughters, kapid in the local dialect, and that the Spaniards took the name Capiz from that word through a misunderstanding with the people.[9]

The provincial capital, today's Roxas City, was itself called Capiz for centuries.[12]

Its story

In 1569 Captain Diego de Artieda, sent by Legazpi, landed at the town of Panay and made it the capital of the province. The capital later moved to the town of Capiz, which lay by the sea and offered a harbour.[9]

Capiz town began in 1693 as a visita of Panay and became the seat of the military government in 1746.[12]

Act No. 115 set up the civil government of Capiz on 15 April 1901, and Simplicio Jugo Vidal was its first governor, from 1901 to 1903. The province keeps 15 April as the founding anniversary of its civil government, with the Capiztahan festival.[10, 13, 14, 15]

In 1951 the town of Capiz became Roxas City, and in 1956 Republic Act No. 1414 made the towns of Aklan, from Kalibo to Malay, a province of their own.[16, 17]
