Capiz GenZ, Sapi-an (2026)

17/05/2026

To help address the limited university slots and the growing concern that many students may have no other school to turn to, we reached out to local leaders — Gov. Castro, Rep. Guintu, CapSU President Linan, and Vice Gov. Magbanua to inquire about their proposed measures and planned actions for assisting the affected students.

Sharing this post may also help reach other leaders and institutions that can help to widen the circle of potential support.

Within seven days, we will provide a public update on the current status of responses from the concerned offices.

Helping them today means giving families a better chance to rise from hardship, achieve stable livelihoods, and build a more secure future. At the same time, it strengthens the province itself by producing more educated, skilled, and productive citizens who can drive economic growth for years to come.

Many Capizeño parents sacrifice every day with the hope that their children will someday have more opportunities in life. But when college slots become limited, some students are forced to put their dreams on hold.

According to reports, CAPSU accepts only around 5,000 new students out of more than 9,000 applicants because of limited capacity and course quotas set under CHED guidelines. This means that many qualified students may have to delay, redirect, or even set aside their college plans despite their determination to continue studying.

If this situation continues year after year without additional interventions, many young people may face limited access to higher education and fewer opportunities for upward mobility. This affects not only individual students and their families, but also the long-term growth of Capiz through workforce development, local businesses, investments, and economic productivity.

In this time, we need public servants to lead with compassion and long-term vision.

To help address the growing number of students affected by limited slots, rejected applicants may be offered opportunities in other CAPSU campuses with lower student populations whenever possible.

The local government, CAPSU administration, CHED, and Capiz leaders such as Hon. Howard Guintu can work together to explore solutions such as increasing operating budgets, expanding facilities, hiring more instructors, extending class schedules, and strengthening scholarship partnerships with private colleges in Capiz.

The student population trend is moving in the wrong direction relative to available resources. There may also be a need to study the long-term feasibility of establishing an additional state college campus in northern or southern Capiz as the number of graduating senior high school students continues to grow each year.

At the same time, vocational and technical education through TESDA should continue to be strengthened and supported as valuable and respectable career pathways for many young people.

Addressing this challenge today is an investment in the future of Capiz. When students are given opportunities, support, and hope, they become future professionals, workers, entrepreneurs, and leaders who can contribute positively to society.

When poor students see that college is for them, they aim high. And a society with dreamers has a future

In Tapaz, people voted for real. Kiko Pangilinan won, and that’s final. Saying Tapaz is ‘rebel territory’ is just an excuse from people who can’t accept that their candidate lost.

The people of Capiz care about the truth. Insulting the voters of Tapaz won’t change the result.

If you want to win next time, go ask the people there why they didn't want your candidates. Listen to the answer.

To both sides: I will not hate who you hate. I will not cheer who you cheer. I will only say what I see.

Why Sara Lost Tapaz in the 2022 Election

Disclaimer: This post presents a political geography analysis based on available data (Election 2022). It is not affiliated with any campaign and is not intended to favor or disfavor any candidate.

A barangay-level analysis of the 2022 vice-presidential returns reveals that Sara Duterte lost Tapaz due to the concentrated voting power of the adjacent Tapaz–Bingawan corridor. While Duterte won several isolated barangays within Tapaz, the contiguous cluster of barangays in the Bingawan area, optimized by the national Bingawan–Tapaz Road, delivered a compact and efficient landslide for Kiko Pangilinan, consistent with the geographic principle of the neighborhood effect. This multi-barangay unit generated a vote surplus that Duterte's scattered pockets across the remaining 58 barangays of Tapaz could not overcome.

ELECTORAL GEOGRAPHY ANALYSIS:

Kiko Pangilinan got very big vote leads of over 80 percent in a chain of barangays called the Tapaz to Bingawan corridor (Gebio-an, Bag-ong Barrio, Switch, Katipunan, Taft, Cristina, San Miguel Ilaya, San Miguel Ilawod). These barangays are connected by roads, local leaders, and shared economic ties. Because they are close together, neighbors easily influence each other so news and campaign efforts spread fast. If you spend time and money campaigning in one village, the effect naturally spills over to the next ones. It is harder for opponents to flip the whole area piece by piece because the villages work together like a cluster, and you can keep expanding along the same road or economic line. However, if the connections between villages weaken, for example roads break down, leaders leave, or trade slows, the cluster can fall apart.

Meanwhile, instead of one connected chain of barangays, Sara Duterte’s strong support with over 50 percent margins is in separate isolated spots (Poblacion, Camburanan, Carida, San Nicolas, Bato-bato, Agcococ). These pockets are not linked together. Each pocket is like a small fortress, so to beat her there, an opponent has to win each one individually, which is hard to do all at once. Voters stay loyal because of personal ties or local benefits, not because villages are connected, so these pockets do not need constant maintenance. Even if nearby areas turn against her, each pocket can still survive on its own. However, there is no spillover effect, meaning winning one pocket does not help you win the next one. You have to put separate effort into every single village, making it expensive to defend because you need to spread resources across many unconnected dots. There is also no natural way to grow, so support stays the same or even shrinks over time since you cannot expand along a road or corridor. If roads or communication to a pocket get worse, that pocket becomes irrelevant for building a larger majority.

Leni Robredo's Real Electoral Strength in Capiz

4 towns and Roxas City at risk of flipping to Duterte in 2028

The battleground area:

In Capiz, there are five places where elections are very close. The winning margin is 6% or less. These places are Mambusao, Jamindan, Ivisan, Pontevedra, and Roxas City. The first four are even tighter, under 6%. The 5 battleground areas represent 46% of Capiz's total votes. If Robredo loses these areas to Duterte in 2028, her chance of winning Capiz would drop significantly. In these towns, the winner beats the loser by only 3 to 6 votes out of every 100 votes. That is a very small lead. That means convincing just a few neighbors, or winning one small village, can completely flip the result in that town. Even if a candidate wins all the other safe towns, if they lose these battlegrounds, they could still lose the whole province of Capiz. So to win Capiz in 2028, a candidate must focus hard on these five towns.

The Pink Wall:

The Pink Wall is a group of neighboring towns in eastern and southern Capiz. In these towns, Leni Robredo consistently won both 2016 and 2022 election. The Pink Wall towns are more conservative. They were not affected much by the digital campaign of Marcos Jr.. Because of this, the digital campaign that worked in other places did not work here. The Pink Wall is strategically important because it gives a candidate a stable and concentrated base of votes. This makes it easier to use resources wisely, build momentum, and stop opponents from flipping those towns.

Light pink towns:

The Light Pink towns in Capiz, where Leni Robredo won by 10% to 19%, are many, including Pilar, Sapian, Panay, Sigma, Cuartero, Dumalag, Dumarao, and Tapaz. Light pink towns could flip to gray or even to the opponent if not defended. Also, light pink towns are the 'swingable middle' of the Pink Wall. They require moderate attention not as much as gray battlegrounds, but more than dark pink strongholds. If defended, they can become dark pink. If ignored, they can slide into gray.

The Dark Pink areas:

The Dark Pink towns are Panitan and Maayon. These towns are located between the Pink Wall areas and the more competitive battleground towns. Their geographic location gives a clue. They are not as isolated as the Pink Wall towns, but they are also not as open as the city. They sit in a transition zone. Because of their location, they were partially exposed to technology and digital campaigns but not completely overwhelmed. They are more conservative than the highly connected towns, but less protected than the Pink Wall.

Leni Robredo's support in Capiz forms a geographic cluster ('pink wall') in the east and south, but gray battleground areas like Mambusao, Jamindan, and Ivisan show high competitiveness. Her 2028 performance in Capiz will depend on holding the core strongholds while flipping or defending these narrow-margin municipalities.

Top 4 Richest Municipalities in Capiz in Terms of LGU Revenue

Note: "Richest" here refers to total local government revenue collected. This does not necessarily measure the wealth of residents.

Tapaz, the largest municipality in Capiz in terms of land area and having a relatively large population of 57,684 in 2024 (per PSA), emerges as the top earner among municipalities.

Dumalag, despite being known as the hometown of Governor Fredenil Castro, ranks third from the lowest in revenue among Capiz municipalities.

Sapian, despite being home to hardworking residents, records the lowest revenue among all municipalities in the province, with only ₱144 million in local income. This places the municipality at the bottom in terms of fiscal performance. Consequently, Sapian has significantly fewer funds available for development and service delivery compared to other municipalities. The low revenue level may be associated with a limited local business base, including fewer commercial establishments such as stores, shops, and operating enterprises. In addition, there is a noticeable spatial shift in economic activity away from the traditional town center (Poblacion). Commercial activity appears to be gradually concentrating in Barangay Bilao, indicating a potential decentralization or relocation of the municipality’s economic core.

Some flood control projects in Capiz are still recorded as ON-GOING in DPWH data beyond their contract expiry dates, including but not limited to those listed below.

Capiz is a flood-prone province, when these structures are still ongoing, communities may remain exposed to potential flooding, especially during the rainy season.

Dumalag was allocated a major infrastructure budget of nearly half a billion pesos, mainly for road improvements, which help the town grow economically.

Mambusao, despite frequent flooding, got zero budget for flood protection. Why? Does the town already have enough flood protection?

The ranking includes only LGU-attributed DPWH projects, multi-LGU boundary projects are excluded to maintain comparable LGU-level totals.
