Capas
8.5
High score (8-10) · Your profile
Capas has something genuinely different going on compared to the rest of Tarlac: New Clark City, the government-backed infrastructure project occupying nearly 10,000 hectares of former Pinatubo lahar land here, has brought in engineers, contractors, government workers, and developers from across the country. That influx creates a pool of people with non-provincial outlooks and more willingness to engage with outsiders. The Capas National Shrine draws some visitors too. This is a municipality in transition and the transitional period is usually the best time to be the foreign guy.
Mid score (6-8)
Capas benefits from New Clark City — a massive infrastructure development on former Clark Air Base watershed land that's brought outside workers and economic activity into what was otherwise a farming municipality. But outside the New Clark development zone, the town proper is still agricultural and the social options are minimal. Your novelty as a foreigner registers here, especially near the development areas, but the infrastructure for a social life is still thin.
Lower score (below 6)
Outside the New Clark City development corridor, Capas is a standard Tarlac farming municipality with limited social venues and a tight-knit community structure. The development project hasn't yet transformed the social landscape of the town proper. A foreign man not connected to the construction or government sectors has limited entry points into local social life.
