Kapitolyo

Kapitolyo is a barangay in Pasig City, Metro Manila, Philippines. It forms part of the city’s central business district area and lies close to Ortigas Center. The name Kapitolyo is believed to derive from the nearby government capitol buildings that once defined the area, though today it is primarily known as a mixed-use neighborhood.

Historically a residential area, Kapitolyo has seen rapid development since the 2000s, with a rise in mid-rise condominiums and office spaces alongside established homes. The area is anchored by a thriving dining scene, described in local media as a go-to culinary district, featuring a wide range of restaurants, cafes, and dessert shops across its streets, from casual eateries to more upscale establishments.

Access is facilitated by several arterial roads connecting Pasig with neighboring cities; public transport options include jeepneys, buses, and nearby mass transit links that provide connectivity to Ortigas Center, Mandaluyong, and central Manila. Local government administration for Kapitolyo falls under Pasig City, with barangay leadership addressing community needs such as safety, drainage, and mobility.
