Despite being the center of trade and commerce in the Province of Capiz, many people believe that Roxas City is still way behind than other major cities in Western Visayas. 

However, the national recognitions that it received proved that this modest little city that everyone thought is at an idle status can be as competitive as the big metropolises in the region.

Recently, it received the Presidential Award as the third Child-Friendly City in Region VI. This is one of the series of recognitions it bagged since 2010. Previously, it received the Best Public Employment Service Office in Western Visayas, the Red Orchid Award for intensive smoke-free campaign, and the Seal of Good Housekeeping for transparent and effective governance.

These awards and recognitions make Roxas City as one of the most competitive and pro-active cities, not only in the region, but also in the entire nation.

Save Money In Your New Space

Moving in a new home? Well, you will definitely  consider a lot of spending. But here are some helpful tips that you can follow to avoid overspending and save the extra bucks in your piggy bank.

Buy second hand.  Many people pitch a lot of useful stuffs in the rubbish or sell them in a garage sale. If you are just starting in your new home, flat, or any living space, buying furniture at op-shops will give you more savings. 

A lot of these stuffs are in good shape or even as good as new and they are sold for more than half of their original price at first purchase. 

If you can’t find a garage sale, try searching at online shops. You can buy almost anything there, such as dining room sets, mattresses, or paintings.

Never practice false economy. If you have electrical or plumbing concerns, try to get the best job done and use quality materials. 

Even if they are priced a little bit higher, you are assured that they can last longer than the cheaper ones, thus giving you a lot of savings.

Find the best deals. It is always a good practice to get quotes from different shops. Do not settle on one appliance or furniture store because sometimes others price their goods way too cheap than the one you patronize. 

These three simple tips will help you in cost-cutting. You do not have to spend a big sum to make your new home impressive because you can opt for alternatives that will give you high-end results.
