In the Capiz rumored as the aswangs “monsters”, capizenos are really religious in the reality. There are many locations in capiz that has churches, especially old churches that preserved it’s scenic beauty like the sta.monica church in panay. There are other religious icons on the province like the meditation hills on the municipality of sapian, the fords point in the baybay which is another replica of the “Christ the redeemer”, but the most famous is the Agtalin Shrine in the Pilar.

Do you wonder we ae proud capizenos? beside from the capiz beaches that we have, the Agtalin Shrine is the highest Marian statue in the Asia. The Miarculous Medal statue is 50 feet high and was built on top of the Agtalin Hill Chapel. It is so high that it overlooks the Pilar Bay.

Taking 185 steps to go to the top of the shrine is worth, It was not the view is the reson but it’s the faith that keeps you going. Despite of the rumors that is thrown to the people of the Capiz, the culture is still unbreakable especially when it comes to god.
