My Hometown:Sigma

There’s no place like home and there’s no place like Sigma.

Sigma is one of the sixteen (16) municipalities of the province of Capiz situated in the central plains of the province. The Poblacion is strategically located at the crossroads of the three provinces: Capiz, Aklan, and Iloilo.

          A peaceful community, Sigma is around thirty (30) minutes non-stop ride from the capital city of the province Roxas City or a forty-five (45) minutes ride by passenger buses and jeepneys. Iloilo City is as good as two and a half-hours ride from Sigma, and is practically two hours ride by bus or jeep from Kalibo, Aklan.

          The municipality is known for its annual HIL-O-HANAY FESTIVAL held every last week of June in celebration of the feast of St. John the Baptist.

          Hil-o-hanay Festival showcases local traditional arts and culture of Sigmahanons: Storytelling, Composo, Harana, Payag Contest, Pailig it Lantay, Lutong Sigmahanon and other activities sponsored by various agencies and organizations.

          I am inviting you all to come and visit Sigma and experience the Sigmahanon hospitality. See for yourself what the place has to offer you.
