Discover Roxas: “Seafood Capital of the Philippines”

Our first satellite office is located in Roxas City, which was launched 2 years ago. Opening the new office was an endeavor that was not without its difficulties since it was at the onset of the pandemic. However, the new location does have the advantage of being surrounded by some of the best seafood in the country.

Seafood Haven

One of the best fishing spots in the country can be found in Roxas City. There’s an abundance of freshly-caught seafood at affordable prices that can be found in their public markets. From mud crabs, blue crabs, oysters, prawns, groupers, seaweed, and more.

Given that the Philippines is an archipelago of well over 7000 islands with thousands of kilometers of coastline, fishing is a significant industry in this country. There are innumerable fish farms spread over the rivers, lagoons, and shorelines of the area around the city, providing the fishermen with a more sustainable alternative to fishing in the ocean.

A Getaway From the Busy World

The comfort of living close to nature is one of the nicest things about Roxas. Its blend of urban and environment friendly areas makes it a great choice when we need respite from the noise and bustle around us.
