CAPTIVATING CAPIZ: A Journey Into the Myth

Here in CAPTIVATING Capiz, a lot of speculations about the existence of aswangs roaming its grounds have been spreading. A lot of aswang stories also surfaced, here's one example but it's a bit short.... so I'll try to be abducted by aswangs and tell you all about it (PALABAUN KU GD) hehe....

It was a rainy night that time. A young expectant mother was sewing a dress for her baby. Suddenly she felt something playing down her leg as if a thread like material. She became aware of a red looking tread. She tried and tried to brush it off, but it was so stubborn that she decided to take the shear and stripped it. As she did it, she suddenly heard a sharp cry out of nowhere. It was then followed by a heavy thud the ground and a flutter of heavy wings. She suddenly realized that her baby's life was almost taken by an aswang.

CAPTIVATING CAPIZ: It's Captivating Hymn

O, Capiz, also known as the Capiz Hymn, is the official provincial anthem of the province of Capiz in the Philippines. The hymn, which bested 24 other entries in a province-sponsored competition, was written by Charmaine O. Guartero, a high school music teacher at Filamer Christian College.

Capiznon

O, Capiz duog nga hamili

Dunang manggad sang Dios pinili.

Kadagatan mo kag kabukiran.

Pagatatapon imong kabugana-an.
Capiz matahum nga ngalan.

Sa tagui-pusuon ikaw mapahamtang.

Dumulu-ong ka, o Capizeño man ang kagayun.S

a gihapon, mahamutan.

Koro:O, Capiz, CapizBisan diin kami padulong

O, Capiz, Capiz

English Translation

Oh, beloved Capiz

The mountains and the seas,

Are well taken care of.

Come, oh, Capiznon you still will be.

Now and forever.

Chorus:

Oh Capiz, Capiz

Capiz, the exceptional province

We will carry on the tradition

As proud Capiznons

Everyone unite.

Chorus

CAPTIVATING CAPIZ: It's Awesome History ^_^

Captivating Capiz became the second Spanish settlement after Cebu when Captain Diego de Artienda, sent by Legaspi landed in the town of Pan-ay and proclaimed it the capital of the province. The capital was then moved to the present location of Roxas City.

It is said that in Capiz in 1570, the Datu Bankaya’s wife of the Aklan district gave birth to twin daughters. Twin is "Kapid" in the local dialect, so the Spaniards adopted the name Capiz (Kapid) as inadvertently miscommunicated to them by the natives.

Capiz, which was part of Aklan in pre-Spanish times, was one of the early settlements of the Malays, centuries before the coming of the Spaniards to the Philippines. It was part of the Confederation of Madjaas, formed after the purchase of Panay by the Bornean datus from the Negrito king named Marikudo.

When the Spaniards led by Miguel López de Legazpi came to Panay from Cebu in 1569, they found people with tattoos, and so they called it Isla de los Pintados. How the island itself came to be called Panay is uncertain. The Aeta called it Aninipay, after a plant that abounded in the island. Legend has it that López de Legazpi and his men, in search of food, exclaimed upon the island, pan hay en esta isla!. So they established their first settlement in the island at the mouth of the Banica River in Capiz and called it Pan-ay. This was the second Spanish settlement in the Philippines, the first being San Miguel, Cebu.

In the same year of 1569 Captain ('Capitan') Diego de Artieda who was sent by Legaspi landed in the Town of Panay and proclaimed it as the capital of the province. Later, they moved the Capital to its present site upon discovering the town of Capiz (not the province, and now Roxas City) which was near the sea and provided docking facilities.

In 1942, the region was occupied by the Japanese troops. In 1945, the region was liberated by the joint Filipino and American troops with Filipino guerrillas from the defeated Japanese Imperial forces during Second World War.

Capiz and Aklan were united under one province until April 25, 1956, when President Ramon Magsaysay signed into law Republic Act 1414 separating the two entities.

Myths, Folklore, Superstitious Beliefs and Practices

(Peepz,, I just want you to know that we need to be in the first 20+ results when you search google, we are currently in number 31 so please support us!!!! tnx)

The early Panayanon believed in many gods. Bulalakaw, a bird which looked like a peacock and could cause illness, was said to live in the island's sacred mountain called Madya-as. A chief goddess was believed to reside in the mountain of the nearby island of Negros Occidental. She was called Laon, after whom Mt. Kanlaon is named. Mediators to the gods, also said to be the first priests, were: Bangutbanwa, who prayed for good harvests and an orderly universe; Mangindalon, who interceded for sick persons and prayed for the punishment of enemies; and Soliran and Solian, who performed marriage ceremonies. Manunubo was the good spirit of the sea.

The kama-kama are dwarves living in earth mounds, and are lazy and fun loving. The tamawu/taglugar are spirits that can be either friendly or evil. They live in resplendent palaces that look like mere boulders to the human eye. When they find a human being attractive, they entice the person to join them; this peculiar act of courtship is called yanggaw. The dwindi is a dwarf residing in a mount of earth. The lulid sa bungsud has a big head, but a small torso and limbs. One who disturbs the mound where it resides falls ill. The agta is a very dark, hairy person living in the forest. Although a trickster, it is helpful to people. The amamanhig is a dead person who has returned to life and simply echoes everything that mortals say; it has lost the power to think. Hiwit or barang is a ritual that gives one of the power to inflict pain on an enemy.

Captivating Capiz: An Introduction

CAPIZcapizCAPIZcapizCAPIZcapizCAPIZcapizCAPIZcapizCAPIZ

As we all know (or maybe some of you don't) Captivating Capiz is not only a place for Aswangs (contrary to what Albino said in the last arcticle) but it is also a place where you can eat fresh seafoods(particularly in Roxas City), go to parks, buy souvenirs ;), and meet a lot of awesome people!(like us moderators, yeah you can ask for our numbers..jk ;]).

Capiz was the home of former president Manuel A. Roxas whose son Gerry Roxas was also former senator and whose grandson Manuel A. Roxas II is currently a senator (GRABEh bah.... runs in the family gd yah). As stated by Albino, Capiz is "supposedly" known as the aswang province here in the Philippines but what the heck, do you even believe in those rumors? Well I kind of do but... there aren't MuMu's here ;( haha. Roxas City, the capital of Capiz, is also the Seafood Capital of the Philippines. You can taste all kinds of fishes, clams, chuver chuver and crabs here! Really, for that reason alone, you all should come here! You wont regret it once you eat that so called "Diwal" or Angel Wing.

So guys! Please, please visit Capiz! (and it wouldn't hurt clicking the refresh button a couple if times ;])

Captivating CAPIZ; a Common Corner for Aswang Covenants?

Having grown up in Captivating Capiz, we moderators would like to inform all those readers out there everything we know about our beloved city as much as possible; not to mention the fact that we are being graded for this thingy... so please, if you are a constant visitor, Candice's admirer or just happened to view our blogspot by mistake, please support us in every way possible.

Captivating CAPIZ as we may know has a lot of history to it. It has many interesting things to talk about such as its culture, political status, education, geography and much more. But what the heck, we're merely teenagers so the hell we care about all those stuff!!! We are more concerned about the people or should I say creatures that roam its grounds... better known as the aswangs... An Aswang is a mythical in Filipino Folklore. It's an inherently evil vampire-like creature and is the subject of a wide variety of myths and stories, the details of which often vary greatly.

The wide variety of descriptions in the aswang stories make it difficult to settle upon a fixed definition of aswang appearances . However, several common themes that differentiate aswangs from other mythological creatures do emerge: Aswangs are shapeshifters. Stories recount aswangs living as regular townspeople in meat processing professions by day. As regular townspeople, they are quiet, shy and elusive. At night, they transform into creatures that enjoy eating unborn fetuses and small children, favoring livers and hearts (HALA KAMU!!!) They also happen to make weird noises in amidst of an attack so if you hear something outside your house,,, (dalagan na!!!!!)

But our blog's main concern is to be on top of the lists when you type the word Capiz in the internet, so I thought what better way of doin' so but by typing the word Capiz once,,, or maybe twice,,,, or maybe a dozen times..... so here goes.... Hope it works..... ^_^

Funny Trivias...... its funny but its true!!!!

1. If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee. (Hardly seems worth it.)

2. If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb. (Now that's more like it!)

3. The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out to the body to squirt blood 30 feet. (O.M.G.!)

4. A cockroach will live nine days without its head before it starves to death. (Creepy.)

5. Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour. (Do not try this at home. Maybe at work.)

6. The male praying mantis cannot copulate while its head is attached to its body. The female initiates sex by ripping the male's head off. ("Honey, I'm home. What the....?!")

7. The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It's like a human jumping the length of a football field.

8. The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds. (What could be so tasty on the bottom of a pond?)

9. Some lions mate over 50 times a day. (must be exhausting?!!)

10. Butterflies taste with their feet. (Something I always wanted to know)

11. Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people. (If you're ambidextrous, do you split the difference?)

12. Elephants are the only animals that cannot jump (OK, so that would be a good thing....................)

13. A cat's urine glows under a black light. (I wonder who was paid to figure that out?)

14. An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain. (I know some people like that.)

15. Starfish have no brains. (I know some people like that too.)

16. Polar bears are left-handed. (If they switch, they'll live a lot longer.)

...... it's true.....

3 Stupid Things To Say To Get Door Slammed On Your Face

1. "Let's make out!" Look, dude - even if she looks like absolutely wants to sit on your face, do not ruin everything by making a PUBLIC DECLARATION. Be more tactful. When she is more than ready, then just do it, and shut up.

2. "You're a fat slob!" Yes, women will ask you from time to time how they look. You can ruin everything by being dead honest. So, don't. Let them live their dream of being hotter looking than other females. If she is overweight, don't comment on it at all. But wait - why are you going out with a fat woman anyway?

3. "You talk too much, shut up!" If she talks too much, she's just being a woman. Let her be. Here's the deal - if she talks too much to you, she probably don't mind sleeping with you. So, endure her, at least until you get her in the sack.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now that you know what NOT to say. When you talk to her, get her go through an 'emotional rollercoaster' - ie by alternating between sad and happy states - and she will find herself get hopelessly attracted to you. It's really not as difficult as it sounds. Borrowed from the field of psychology and hypnosis, it is known to be one of the most effective (and amoral!) way to get women attracted to men.
