"We Tell Our Stories Through Our Lens"
This is where it all starts:
CAPIZ
HE SAID:
In 1991, I finished my five year residency training in General Surgery at the UP-Philippine General Hospital. At that time, I made the conscious decision that I will NOT practice surgery in Metro Manila. My profession is STRESS-filled as it is, and I do not need the extra stress of running the rat race in congested Manila (traffic, pollution, etc.). Several fortunate circumstances led me to Roxas City in Capiz - a place where I did not have any roots, but a place that I have learned to love (and has loved me in return). So my real travel began here: CAPIZ in PANAY Island (hence, PANAY Lakbay).
So in January 15, 1992, I set foot in Roxas City - the Seafood Capital of the Philippines. It was then a very quiet city - people actually sleep at 8PM! No cable TV to entertain you, and definitely no internet to keep me company.
But what was lacking in amenities then, Roxas City more than made it up with the freshest seafoods available - crabs, lobsters, prawns, deep sea fish, shell fish - at incredibly affordable prices (well, compared to Manila). And the beach (Baybay) was just five minutes away! We have spent countless of days watching the golden sunset while partaking of good food and drinks there ...
