Ang Panublion, Capiznons' heritage in a water tank

Capiz is more than just the oyster famous as raw material for the production of lamps and 
windowpanes. It is more than just the Aswang superstitions. It's a province with a rich history , amiable people and scenic places. Most of the notable relics of the province are kept and preserved in a water tank they now call "Ang Panublion",  a small museum at the center of the city. This was developed in 1993.  

During my trip to Capiz, I took time to visit Roxas City and I dropped by their city museum. Upon entering, I asked permission from one of the caretakers.  I signed up on the visitors logbook. The caretaker immediately stopped what she was doing and played the video that chronicled Roxas City's brief history. This was a cue that I should start checking out the exhibits.  The video also showed tips on where to start to fully appreciate the city's history.  

It starts with pictures and artifacts of the early Capiznons;  how they lived and where they came from. This is then followed by the famous churches around the province. This includes the location of these churches in case you want to visit. There are also displays of famous Capiz products out of Capiz (the oyster) from lamps, souvenir trinkets, to other home ornaments.  

Then there are the relics of "the sunken ship" which was discovered in 2006. It also answered the confusions of the many when the news went out about it being one of the Spanish Galleons; that it was a Chinese trade vessel instead that carried objects with the markings of the Sung Dynasty. 

There are also displays of ball-pen drawings, a collection of memorabilia of President Manuel Roxas and photos and documents  of soldiers during his time.  

There is also a copy of ( Luz de Catolica Verdades y Explicacion de Doktrina Kristiana.) I did not know what it meant so I looked it up via google translate and it said: Light Catholic Truths and Explanation Of Christian Doctrine.  

I was intrigued by the many old churches the province has and I wanted to go visit all of them but I couldn't because of the very limited time I was granted, so I decided to go to one, which is located just right across the street. 

When I got out of the museum, it was roughly 01:00 pm. And I still got plenty of time to take photos of the city circle and that church I was talking about. See it in my next entry.
