The Philippines, an archipelago of over 7,641 islands, boasts numerous cities and provinces, each radiating unique charm and potential. Among these, several have recently stood out due to economic growth and development, propelled by strong local governance, strategic investments, and vibrant community initiatives. One such area is Roxas City in the province of Capiz, recognized for its impressive economic strides.
Known as the “Seafood Capital of the Philippines,” Roxas City is rich in natural resources and economic achievements. The Bureau of Local Government Finance (BLGF) has acknowledged the city’s local government as one of the top-performing cities in local revenue generation, highlighting its commitment to fiscal responsibility and efficient public administration.
