=== Japanese occupation ===
On April 16, 1942, Imperial Japanese forces landed on Capiz City and occupied the rest of the province. However, on December 20, 1944, Capizanon guerrillas, whose forces already occupied most of the province, liberated the capital from Japanese hands, leading to the full liberation of the province.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160311104539/http://ww2timelines.com/1942/april/04161942.htm "Events occurring on Thursday, April 16, 1942"], WW2Timelines.com, March 11, 2016.
