The Capiz in its Melody

O, Capiz, duog nga hamili, dunang manggad sang Diyos pinili. Kadagatan mo kag kabukiran, pagatatapon imo ng kabuganaan…” The lyrics of the song which is written in Hiligaynon undeniably express the living spirit of a true-blooded Capiznon. “O, Capiz, ” as the title says, is the official hymn of Capiz which is now regularlky heard during flag ceremonies, programs, convocation and other socio- cultural events held in the province. It is the most recent hymn to be added in our tradition.
You must be wondering why Philippines have different hymns because they are definitelly not futile. To this, our haven is no exception. For a province like Capiz, possesing richness of resources , culture and tradition, it is good to know through a hymn, we can wipe out the ‘Aswang Identity’ tagged to us little by little, we can show our natural wealth to everyone…
