Calapan City on its Rise


Calapan City is a very prosperous place that depends on agriculture and fishing. However, a growing industry in machinery and tourism has contributed well to the city's annual income making it one of the fastest growing new cities in the country for the last 10 years. Calapan City also serves as the gateway to the Oriental Mindoro province with the implementation of the Strong Republic Nautical Highway, an integrated roll-on/roll-off ferry project of former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo that extends further to the southern part of the Philippines. The Calapan City Seaport is the largest and busiest seaport on the Mindoro island with ships that travels to and from the Batangas City International Seaport. Calapan City is 45 minutes away from Batangas City and is accessible by ferry boat and RORO ships. "source: Wikipedia"

Thanks to the Strong Republic Nautical Highway, the economy of Calapan City boosted. Many commercial establishments have arisen. Banks are growing in the city and a lot of banks in the city means the city is wealthy and the economy is growing. It's like playing Sim City and watching your city grow. Now Calapan is currently holding 3 Malls which are: Neo Calapan Robinsons Mall, Pure Gold and Guisano Mall.
