A Photo Walk to Remember

For almost two years of spending my entire time at home and the rest of it at the office without even realizing that the earth has already revolved its orbit a couple of times already.

And me? 

Well, stagnant to where I am now.

I used to travel when I was still dancing together with my fellow dancers. We jump from town to town, locally and nationwide just to dance. We were invited by a different company that wants to have a little entertainment with their seminar or any program they organized and also invited as a guest in some festivals in the country. Every time we travel, all expenses are being sponsored by the person who invited us. Of course, We then earn money. Isn't it amazing? We go to different places, meet different people and know a different culture and tradition without spending our own instead with gain from it. But all of these are historical.

As I am aging and matured both in physical and mental aspect, nature has forced me to do the things I must do. Being a dancer has no stable and fix income. When no project, no profit as well. At this point, I give up the things I love to do, I looked for a job that can definitely sustain my needs and buy my wants.I was hired Nov. 19, 2012 and starts to living a life that is only bound with a four-cornered office, sitting and talking for 8 hours and facing the monitor of my computer. Guess what? It's boring, right? After every shift I go home then sleep then will wake up three hours prior my log in time and do the same thing again and again.

Without any other outlet to express myself, no other happiness to enjoy life and the worst thing is that i have no passion on the job I'm in right now. I simply work to earn money and put food on the table for me and my family.

One day I decided to save money for my ambition to buy my own high-end camera. This camera are expenses that took me to struggle in buying one. 70% of my salary goes to my saving, I even go on duty having 30.00 pesos in my pocket, my daily budget for 10 days of work until the next payday comes. It took me three months to complete the amount of the camera I desire. Believe it or not, I survived that three months and bought the thing I loved the most.

Opportunity knocked at my door, a week after I bought my camera my teammates had already a plan to go on vacation in Roxas City, Philippines for our team building. It means a chance for me to put my small knowledge of photography into action and of course a time for me spent my time without worry about the work. At the back of my head, I said to myself this is the time for me to unwind and for almost two years of working it is time for me to have a break and be with myself.

Let me share one of the photos that I love the most while we're in Roxas City.

Roxas City

Roxas City is the Seafood Capital of the Philippines With its abundance in marine life. It is one of the richest fishing grounds in the country. Awarded as the most Cleanest and Greenest Component City in Western Visayas Award in the Gawad Pangulo sa Kapaligiran (GPK) Cleanliness and Environmental contest. No doubt, I have seen it with my two eyes and very amazed how environment-friendly city was able to take good care of their surroundings. They have ensured that its residents and visitors of a healthier and brighter future.

The Department of Health (DOH) awarded this city with its 2nd Red Orchid award for being "100 percent tobacco-free".  It has also gained the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) Seal of Good Housekeeping and lauded the Best Police Station in the region by the Philippine National Police (PNP).

Roxas City has an agri-based economy. Farming and fishing are the major economic activities which claim 37.05% of the city’s total land area. Although agricultural, the city is now moving towards commercialization and industrialization as it is the center of trade and commerce not only in the province of Capiz but also in the northern part of Panay Island.

The city has currently one non-voice outsourcing company - PETRA Academy. PETRA Academy serves Korean nationals for an online English tutorial. The company is located in 3/F JC TIU Building, Corner Burgos Street and Inzo Arnaldo, Roxas City.

Pueblo de Panay township has allotted 7 hectares for Pueblo de Panay Technopark. The PEZA-approved technopark will house international and national BPO companies soon.

Roxas City is served mostly by passenger jeepneys, metered taxis and motorized tricycle within the city limits.

The Capiz Cabs (metered taxis) of Roxas City are made of SUV type and can carry seven maximum passengers and serve to any point of Panay Island. Most of them are designed in colorful packaging and can be seen all the time in Roxas Airport.

The Pueblo de Panay Libot Vehicles are new additions to the transportation system in Roxas City. These vehicles are customized Isuzu NHR with cab and bigger than the usual passenger jeepneys.

This landmark is located within the perimeter of Brgy. Tiza, Roxas City fronting the Capiz National High School. It has lushful greeneries and houses several pocket gardens. The park has three monuments that represent the historical and cultural diversities of Roxas City. A turtle-shape outdoor theater nests at the Western part of the park. Another platform is situated at the Southern area, which can accommodate numerous public events. This park perfectly resembles a simple yet picturesque nook for local and foreign tourists.

Located at the heart of the city. This park has two divisions. The first division lies near the Panay River banks. It houses a famous landmark (Roxas City Bandstand), where it is the exact location were signing of MOA, chartering Municipality of Capiz into City of Roxas. At the right-end of the first division, stands the life-size chess plaza, where everyone can play or have their "Selfie" moments. The second division of Roxas City Plaza faces the right side of Roxas City Hall. It has several pine trees, but after the ravaging Super Typhoon Yolanda hit the Seafood Capital of the Philippines, several trees were uprooted and only few are currently existing. Travelers can visit Manuel A. Roxas Monument in this park. The monument faces with Jose Rizal Monument at the far-end of the Capitol. Few steps from M.A.Roxas monument is the only water-tank turned into Museum in the Philippines. The Panublion Museum serves as the "Story Teller" of Roxas City's History. Travelers who wanted to learn the City's Tale from the past can add this venue in their wishlists.

Visit ROxas City and you won't regret it.
