Provincial anthem of Capiz

O, Capiz English: Capiz Hymn Provincial anthem of Capiz Lyrics Charmaine O. Guartero, 2006 Music Charmaine O. Guartero, 2006 Adopted June 23, 2006

"***O, Capiz***", also known as the **Capiz Hymn**, is the official provincial [anthem](/source/Anthem) of the province of [Capiz](/source/Capiz) in the [Philippines](/source/Philippines).

## History

"*O, Capiz*" was written by Charmaine O. Guartero, a high school music teacher at [Filamer Christian University](/source/Filamer_Christian_University), besting 24 other songs entered in a province-sponsored competition for the selection of a provincial hymn.[1] It was first performed on April 21, 2006 at the Hall of Governors in [Roxas City](/source/Roxas%2C_Capiz), where Guartero was also awarded [₱](/source/Philippine_peso)20,000, a plaque and a certificate by Governor Vicente Bermejo.[2]

The hymn was adopted on June 23, 2006 by an ordinance of the [Sangguniang Panlalawigan of Capiz](/source/Capiz_Provincial_Board) and performed for the first time at the charter anniversary of the province. The current arrangement, meanwhile, was unveiled on June 25, 2007.[1] Bermejo later noted that in the Capizeños' quest for development, "we need a melody that will inspire us and forge our efforts together to achieve our dream for a better Capiz", describing "*O, Capiz*" as a unique expression of what the true Capiz is and what Capizeños really are.[1]

The official video of "*O, Capiz*" is available on YouTube and cassette and CD copies of the hymn are being distributed to schools throughout the province.[3]
