Description of Our Community: Antique is a province of the Philippines located in the region of Western Visayas where it is subdivided into 18 municipalities. The province's capital, San Jose de Buenavista, is located in the western portion of Panay Island. Its current congressman is Paolo Javier, son of the current governor - Exequiel Javier, and Rhodora Cadiao is its vice governor. The province is famous in celebrating the Binirayan festival which started in San Jose in 1974 by the late Gov. Evelio Javier, this is a week-long festival that includes colorful street parades, beach shows, plaza concerts, a beauty contest and trade fair.

He is a man of great dignity for he has fought for justice and democracy. He has never forgotten to give something back, especially to his community.
