Pilar Capiz
March 4, 2010
He coastal town sprang out from an austronisian settlement in the early 16th century when indio natives managed to escape colonial tyranny from the Spaniards. The settlement was then known as Sibala, named after the river that ran through the coastal village. In 1570, however, the settlement was seized by Spanish colonial officials and the guardia civil took full control of the village. It later flourished into a bigger and prosperous town and was renamed after its designated patron saint La Nuestra Señora del Pilar ( Our Lady of the Pillar). Several friars and missionaries were assigned to preach in the town since then until it later received its permanent parish priest.
There had been a famous resistance called the Battle of Balisong during the Philippine Revolution in the 19th century as an attempt to overthrow Spanish officials in the municipality led by local revolutionaries Juan Arce and Dalmacio Patricio.
Today, an iconic 12-foot landmark of the Virgin Mary is visible at a mountaintop in Brgy. Dulangan, built by an affluent Chinese-Filipino merchant in honor of the town’s patron saint, which is also said to have conducted miraculous powers to its devotees several times.
The town celebrates its annual feast along with the coming of the sacred Santisima Trinidad (The Holy Trinity), an early 18th century wooden figurine from Mexico found by local fishermen in the shores of the town during the British invasion of the Philippines in 1762. The figurine was said to be brought over to the Pacific by a Galleon trading ship from the port of which was destroyed by British warships during its route in Luzon and was washed off to the coast of Pilar. It is now still visible at the altar of the town’s church, the Parish of the Most Holy Trinity.
The town is also known for its rich local heritage in mythology and folklore of legends and supernaturalism. The Legend of the Golden Shiptells the myth of a beautiful fairy that dwells in the caves of the town’s mountainous forests and seduces young men every full moon wherein an illusionary lake appears inside the cave of Balisong and the mistress disappears with her victims in a golden ship along with the fading of the lake at sunrise.
Pilar Capiz is politically classified as a 4th class economy. Development in basic infrastructure has been stagnant during the last decades. Annual income is low and poverty rates are said to be high, although the town has also seen greater years. The rural municipality is said to be rich in natural resources such as aquatic and mineral wealth. It used to be a very strong seafood producer in the province and once even possessed its own sugar and mining industry.
Major agricultural products of the town include fish, prawn, crab, rice, sugar, cattle and poultry. The town also has its own Baptist Church and Iglesia ni Kristo Parish as wellas its own rural bank along the town market. Dulangan and Casanayan serve as satellite villages of the town.
Most of the town’s population are made up by Austronesian descendants, followed by Aetas and a few of Chinese and Spanish ancestry.

Manny Pacquiao vs Cotto
October 9, 2009
On Pacquiao and Cotto:
“His left hand is like a missile, like a rocket, it has tremendous speed and his power is tremendous,” Nacho said about Pacquiao, who will face Miguel Cotto of Puerto Rico on November 14 in Las Vegas.
Beristain also said, “The key to the fight is not only Pacquiao’s speed but is also the fact that he has been better with his technique. He is a technical fighter now with speed and power, and that Pacquiao is very difficult to beat. If it was difficult before, imagine now, Cotto will be in a world of trouble when he steps in the ring with Manny, besides that, I don’t think he recovered from the beating Margarito gave him, I think Pacquiao will win this fight.”
On Freddie Roach:
“I think Pacquiao is lucky to have him in his corner, Freddie Roach is one of the best trainers in the world and he has a lot of knowledge and he has made Pacquiao a better fighter who used to have a lot of flaws in his style. Pacquiao used to jump when throwing punches and now he is doing great from a technical point of view and that is Freddie’s work.”
On Arce:
“I think Jorge fights with his heart, I mean in his last fight there was something emotional going on, his brother lost to this guy from Africa who is just a basic fighter and Jorge didn’t do what we worked on in the gym. I know Jorge is also a good boxer, he is smart and he can move he has done it in sparring, but as I told him boxing is not just training; it’s about discipline. For instance I told him to stay away from spices, ice, and many other stuff. Three days before the fight one member of his crew gave him ice and he was chewing ice because he likes it and because they told him is a good exercise for his jaw. I told him not to do it, and he did it anyway, and he got a terrible cold two days before the fight and he was done when he stepped into the ring.” http/

CELEBRATE NATURE’S GLORY
October 5, 2009It could have been a lonely night,
But tree shade shared a common grenness,
It could have been a tearful night,
But the teasing shadows shook with laughter:
I could have been a poor night,
But the moon showered a millions sequens;
It could have been fearful night,
But the gentle breeze sang of safety;
It could have been a troubled night;
But the unruffled spoke of peace.
