Hilly areas close to the mountain range in Capas are at a height of around 46 meters. San Jose, Tarlac City, Concepcion, the Zambales town of Botolan, and Bamban form its northern, northeastern, eastern, eastern, and western borders, respectively. The town has a level east side and a mountainous west side. The town also has hot springs and a number of freshwater lakes, including the Tambo Lake, and is also known as "The Gateway to Pinatubo Volcano." Capas is located 16 kilometers (9.9 mi) southwest of Tarlac City and 108 kilometers (67 mi) north of Manila.

Small fragments of petrified wood, fish, freshwater crabs, and other creatures can be found in a lot of the province's streams. In Concepcion, Namria and Dingding brook combine to form the two principal tributaries of the Lucong river. The Bulsa Moriones River and the Santa Lucia River, which combine to form the Tarlac River, are two of the majority of Tarlac's waterways that flow from Mount Pinatubo through Capas.

Originally a part of Zambales and Pampanga, its first settlers were the Kapampangan and the Aeta. Capas as all other towns in Tarlac province was a part of vast wilderness inhabited by the Abelling tribes known as Aetas. The original Capas was Pagbatuan where the Aetas resides before the new settlers came to the now proper town of Capas. The Aeta of Capas, Tarlac Province are among 12 to 15 million indigenous peoples in the Philippines. Referred to in the literature as “Negritos” and locally as kulot (curly-haired), they are known as the “people of the mountains.”

"New Clark City," a Build, Build, Build program project in the Clark Special Economic Zone in Tarlac, Philippines, is one of the projects taking place in Capas.

Despite the potential economic benefits of the project, this has wrongfully and tragically displaced thousands of Aetas and threatens to do so more. It threatens many farmers' livelihoods as their lands are taken away.

The 10th Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) aims to reduce inequality within countries as well as between them, but the development of New Clark City will make inequality even worse. If it is not rooted in inequality, then these people should have the same opportunities and privileges as we do, and they should not be oppressed in this way and marginalized. If it is rooted in inequality, then it seems that the displacement of Aetas is rooted in inequality, as is the robbing of farmers' lands; if it is not rooted in inequality, then it seems that it is rooted in inequality.

The sixteenth Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) ought to be to promote peaceful and inclusive societies for the sake of sustainable development, to provide access to justice for all, and to build institutions at all levels that are effective, accountable, and inclusive. However, the aforementioned project is unfair because it encroaches on the traditional lands of the Aeta people, which would lead to the forcible relocation of those people, and it also endangers the lives of non-indigenous people and their means of subsistence.

Aetas are losing land and degradation; residents of Capas are losing their land and livelihood. The Aeta community in Capas, Tarlac is being forced to give up their ancestral land. The people have been using the land for centuries and have been practicing agriculture, hunting and gathering activities on the land. The Aetas are now asking for help from other organizations because they cannot afford to lose more than what they already lost in Capas alone. They said they will never be able to recover from this loss as they don’t have enough money to buy back their ancestral land back again and even if they could buy them back, there’s no guarantee that it won't be sold again and again

The multi-billion-dollar project, one of the projects in President Rorigo Duterte’s ‘Build, Build, Build’ program, threatens to displace at least 65,000 people from 12 villages, according to NNARA-Youth.

The National Government plans to use New Clark City as a backup office in the event that Metro Manila experiences emergencies like earthquakes, floods, and other calamities. Construction on the project began in 2016. It is situated in the BCDA reservation near Capas, which used as a military aircraft testing ground while Clark Air Base was governed by the US.
