Somewhere in the Visayas, in the Island of Panay lies a province with rich history and
scenic sights -- Capiz. Captivating Capiz, the provinces official tagline, best describes its
impressive mark on Philippine tourism. One can even do a Heritage Walk Tour around one of its
component cities, Roxas City, in just under a day. Some of the Heritage sites located in the
Province are Sta. Monica Church, Panay Bell, Filamer Christian University, and Dumalag
Church which is the first heritage site in Capiz. Located also in the city is one of the oldest
school, Capiz National High School (CNHS), and this study aims in ascertaining the validity and
acceptability of Capiz National High School as Tourism Heritage Site by doing a survey based
on the Selection Criteria by UNESCO. If proven valid and acceptable as a Heritage Site, It can
be an added list to Capizs Tourist Spots which can also benefit not only the school itself, but
also the people of Capiz since tourist attractions can provide direct jobs to the community, such
as tour guides or hotel housekeeping. Indirect employment is also generated through other
industries such as agriculture, food production, and retail. In short, tourism has economic
benefits.
