CAVITE is a province of the Philippines located on the southern shores of Manila Bay in the CALABARZON region in Luzon, just 30 kilometers south of Manila. Its capital is the Trece Martires City. Cavite is surrounded by the provinces of Laguna to the east and Batangas to the south. To the west lies the South China Sea.

CAVITE is strategically located at the intermediate zone of the metropolitan Manila area. The urban influence of the metropolis together with easy accessibility, adequate infrastructure and fresh natural setting makes the picturesque province an ideal refuge.

One of the more affluent and spectacular places in Cavite is the San Lazaro Leisure Park. It's a rare and inviting part of Cavite characterized by rolling topography, endless vistas and an adventure-laden facility.

No wonder Manila Jockey Club in partnership with Century Communities Corp. took no time in quickly transforming part of these sprawling 17 hectares of premium land into one of the country's finest gated residential communities. "The city center of Cavite is quickly becoming the south's next super city. Its location and infrastructure as well as proximity and accessibility to Metro Manila have made it a gateway and suburb to Makati," says Century Communities COO Marco Antonio. He also quickly adds that even though Cavite is near to the Makati central, the city of Cavite still offers a breath of fresh air and country living.

The next Big Thing?

Cavite is one of the fastest growing provinces in the country due to its close proximity to Metro Manila. Many companies, such as Intel, have established manufacturing plants in numerous industrial parks.

Three SM Malls and two Robinsons malls are located in Cavite. They are the SM City Dasmariñas, SM City Bacoor, SM Supercenter Molino (found also in Bacoor), Robinsons Place Imus and Robinsons Place Dasmariñas.

Im from cavite. :D well, I might post some updates if I find time. :)

oongah! ang ganda nung SM Dasma! It's very different from ther SM's in the Metro, and parang may halong Podium blood... hehe.

dati pa-north ang biyahe para makapagmall, ngayon pabalik na..
nag-open ang sm dasma kasabay ng pagalis ko ng pinas..kaya ngayong pabalik na ko isa na yan sa pupuntahan ko..

ano mas ok sm dasma o bacoor?
rob imus o dasma?

was born and originally from san antonio cavite city till my folks decided to transfer here in cebu. and guess what, hindi pa rin marunong mag cebuano ang mom ko, so we still speak tagalog at home.

sm bacoor? i dunno, but i hope sm dasma is better. kasi parang d ako na aliw sa bacoor.

and yah, corregidor is part of cavite pa rin. although mas malapit siya sa bataan. nice place pero eerie. sa dami ba naman ng namatay dun. my only concern, ang cavite city parang nagiging backdoor na lang, its supposed to be a city pero mas mukhang city pa ngayon ang bacoor, noveleta and dasma.

SM Dasma is bigger and better than SM Bacoor. When it comes to Robisons, their mall in Dasma is bigger too and I think they're building up an extension with several hang out bars and restos. But in between SM Dasma and Robinson's Dasma, SM dasma has a bigger crowd and wider selections than the later. :D

what about Kawit Cavite? it's quite popular especially in Phil History books. any photos of the place? wag lang ung nasa P5 bill ha. hehehe

Yes , more interesting places in Cavite please. Malls are okay , but please share worthseeing places in Cavite .

THE PROVINCE OF CAVITE
General Information
FAST FACTS:
Capital : Trece Martires City
Area : 1,287.6 sq. km
No. of Towns : 20
Cities: Trece Martires, Cavite and Tagaytay
Language: Chavacano, Tagalog

Cavite Province is rich in culture and history. Kawit, Cavite is the site where the first successful Philippine revolution was waged. It is also the place where the flag of the Philippine Republic was first hoisted to proclaimed the country's independence.

Cavite was a center of military operations during the Philippine Revolution of 1896. The Spaniards executed 13 Filipino revolutionaries in Cavite City that year: the provincial capital is now named after them "Trece Martires City".

On June 12, 1898, General Emilio Aguinaldo proclaimed Philippine independence form his residence in Kawit. Bacoor became the capital until the seat of government was transferred to Malolos, Bulacan. A civil government was established by the Americans in Cavite in 1901, with Cavite City as provencial capital.

CAVITE, chartered city and seaport of the northern Philippines, in Cavite Province. Cavite is located on Luzon Island, on Manila Bay, near Manila. The city has a fine harbor and is encircled by walls. The principal articles of trade include corn, rice, sugar, coffee, cacao, copra, bananas, and Manila hemp. On a narrow neck of land extending east into the bay are the remains of fortifications dating from Spanish colonial times and a former United States naval facility. Under Spanish rule Cavite was a naval base and following its capture by the American admiral George Dewey in 1898, during the Spanish-American War, it became the principal base of the U.S. Asian Fleet. The Japanese captured Cavite in December 1941, during World War II, and held it until 1945. Population (1990) 92,000

Tagaytay is perched on a ridge, 686 meters above Taal Lake and its active island-volcano. The ridge is believed to be part of the crater of a much larger, long-since-collapse volcano. Today, the ridge forms part of the outer rim of the Taal caldera as it stretches 32 km from Mt. Batulao to Mt. Sungay. The overlook at Taal Vista Lodge offers a spectacular view of the volcano (about 15 km distant) and lake, making Tagaytay one of the most popular excursion trips around Cavite during summer. In clear weather, the South China Sea is visible in the distance, though at other times, fog can come sweeping swiftly across the lake. Folk dancing sometimes takes place at this viewpoint at midday. Hawks glide above, and during March/April, huge black-and-yellow birdwing butterflies frequent the ridge. The elevation results in a pleasantly cool climate, with continual breezes, so that some wealthy Filipinos maintain weekend retreats here. Tagaytay was, in fact, originally established as a potential alternative summer resort to Baguio. Evenings can be chilly. Tagaytay City sprawls over 65 square km; it contains extensive market gardens. Numerous fruit stalls usually line the main road. Tagaytay is a 60-km, 90-min journey from Manila.

Cavite is predominantly an agriculture province. Its major crops inlude rice, corn, vegetables, fruits, rootcrps, coffe, coconut and sugarcane. The province is endowed with rich offshore and coastal fishing grounds. Fishing is a major source of livelihood in the coastal towns. Many industrial establishments are now operating in Cavite, and more industrial estates have been or are being developed in various parts of the province.

cont...

PEOPLE'S PARK, Tagaytay - A mansion in the clouds, built by former President Marcos, but never used.

IMUS HISTORICAL MARKER, Imus - Found in the town plaza, the marker is set near two vintage artillery pieces set on the well-known town plaza lawn.

BATTLE OF JULIAN BRIDGE MARKER, Imus - An old 1859 cannon is the remnant and reminder of a battle that took place long ago between the Spanish and Filipino forces.

HOUSE OF ANDRES BONIFACIO, General Trias - The facade of the house is of red bricks and adobe. Although renovated, its original Spanish style has not changed.

GENERAL MARIANO TRIAS MARKER, General Trias - Located in front of the house where he once stayed, near the town plaza. The marker is set on white concrete with a lamppost standing directly behind it.

HOUSE WHERE BONIFACIO WAS COURT MARTIALED, Maragondon - The place is of old wooden and concrete design and a marker is set in the middle of the structure.

unfortunately, I can't provide pictures for the rest of the historical sites since I just googled the the E.A. Shrine and Corregidor pics. Maybe someday I can take pictures of those myself. :)

tenx lexi for the pics!!! naalala ko tuloy yung field trip namin sa tagaytay (same place) and salamat din ash for the E.A. Shrine and Corregidor pics! that old building, parang nakita ko na yun sa isang ghost series... dami daw mumu dun, hehe, la lang... those canons doesn't look old...

Good idea for a thread. Thanks for the pics and info guys.

@Ash - Corregidor is part of Cavite pala? Kala ko Bataan yon e.

^^ kuya chot, Corregidor is flanked by the provinces of Bataan and Cavite but it is under the jurisdiction of Cavite City. :D

Thanks Ash. Always good to know something new, especially about the Phils. :)

ei!!! is it true that they will be extending the MRT upto Cavite? :) :)

I did not know that Corregidor is part of Cavite , but it looks closer to Bataan than Cavite in the map .

^^ Corregidor is actually part of Cavite City although it is closer to Bataan. The other island you see at the tip is Caballo Island. :)

ei!!! is it true that they will be extending the MRT upto Cavite? :) :)

I heard about that too but I still don't know when are they going to start building it up... hehe maybe the time when cars can already fly! :D

paminsan-minsan nasa cavite ako. pero sa industrial park. about SM Dasma, it's not that big. but I would say, malawak talaga un parking lot. someone said when I was there na 'puro parking lot lan naman pala dito'. :D

I heard about that too but I still don't know when are they going to start building it up... hehe maybe the time when cars can already fly! :D

:rofl:

The planned extension of LRT goes all the way to Dasmarinas. And Corregidor is a part of Cavite City although people have to go to Manila to avail a ride to Corregidor. I should know, I'm from Cavite City...I'll post pictures once I get some. For more info about my city, check out Ka Roger Santos's website: http://www.rogersantos.org/kabite.html

only concern, ang cavite city parang nagiging backdoor na lang, its supposed to be a city pero mas mukhang city pa ngayon ang bacoor, noveleta and dasma.

In some way, yes...hahaha...pero hindi nman cguro noveleta. Bacoor, Imus and Dasma ang nagboboom.

SM Dasma is bigger and better than SM Bacoor.

Actually SM Bacoor is bigger at 116,892 square meters compared to daSMa's 79,792 but no doubt that daSMa is better! :okay:

Malawak ang area ng SM Dasma , but yung mismong mall ay maliit lang , but mas maganda talaga in terms of design ang SM Dasma than SM Bacoor . Wala pa yatang kaparehong design ang SM Dasma , while SM Bacoor is a clone of SM Fairview .

Baka , mag expand na din ang SM Dasma kasi natalo yata nila ang Robinson Dasma kaya naman nag expand ang Robinson . So far ito pa lang ang malls ng dalawang competitors na nakita ko na talagang magkatapat ..tatawid ka lang ..yun na . Ang lawak -lawak nga ng parking ng SM Dasma at mas maganda ang lugar nila kaysa sa Robinson na ang back ay sloping down to a river below , although securedly reinforced naman yata nila .
Di naman kasi kailangan na sobrang laki ng mall , depende rin sa population ng lugar ..

Sa narinig ko, may plano na tatangalin ang SM Bacoor at gagawing depot ng LRT pag nag extend. Kaya ang SM ay gumawa rin sa Molino.

^ ay ganun ba? e di sana magtayo ng sm cavite city.haha.. mukhang maeextend ang metro manila hanggang bacoor ah..

Sa narinig ko, may plano na tatangalin ang SM Bacoor at gagawing depot ng LRT pag nag extend. Kaya ang SM ay gumawa rin sa Molino.

Yah I've heard of that too. SM Molino is way way smaller than SM bacoor. It only composes of few boutiques and fast food chains and a hypermarket. Maybe thats why they are planning to put up a branch in Imus for the replacememnt of SM Bacoor. :D

^ ay ganun ba? e di sana magtayo ng sm cavite city.haha.. mukhang maeextend ang metro manila hanggang bacoor ah..

Sa tingin ko, pointless. Hindi crossroads ang Cavite City unlike Dasmarinas o Molino.

^ e di noveleta na lang..

^ e di noveleta na lang..

What do you mean?

^nevermind...

i heard before na may project ata na yung costal road ay mageextend upto noveleta?..anyone here who knows about it?

But take note that SM Molino is a supercenter and SM Supercenters are defined as experiment malls that have huge potential for expansion (Like SM Supercenter Sucat, now SM City Sucat)

^ ay ganun ba? e di sana magtayo ng sm cavite city.haha.. mukhang maeextend ang metro manila hanggang bacoor ah..

It is part of SM's plans... Maybe about 2008-2009

But take note that SM Molino is a supercenter and SM Supercenters are defined as experiment malls that have huge potential for expansion (Like SM Supercenter Sucat, now SM City Sucat)

okay okay, thats their vision, how about what happend to SM Sucat today? How long does SM Sucat stands since the day it was built? And up to now I havnt heard it progressing and so on and so blah blah.

So much for SM mall talking guys, Cavite Thread 'to. :) Im out of topic here. :)

OT: SM Sucat is standing tall and proud... I was impressed by their elevated walkway, all-glass.

I'm from San Antonio, Cavite City. I live near Sangley Point Air Base. Hope that our national government will develop that area. Sayang eh, it's location is very strategic sa Metro MAnila...

BEfore there's a ferry terminal from Fort San Felipe(Philippine Naval Base) up to CCP Complex kaya lang ngayon wla na....

It is part of SM's plans... Maybe about 2008-2009

Tlga? Mej0 di kc feasibile ng magtay0 ng mall here in Cavite City...especially because its a dead end...y0u'll 0nly pass by Cavite City, if u are t0 visit Cavite City...hahaha...naging SM Thread it0...

^nevermind...

i heard before na may project ata na yung costal road ay mageextend upto noveleta?..anyone here who knows about it?

Yup...its true, may extensi0n nga, the pr0blem is, its already t00k a decade t0 start the pr0ject, and n0w, mej0 mabagal ang usad. The pr0vincial g0vernment h0pes t0 finish the first phase by next year which is extending the expressway t0 Kawit. Then, the next phase begins. A pr0blem that the pr0ject is experiencing right n0w is t0 av0id all fish p0nds al0ng the bay.

Tlga? Mej0 di kc feasibile ng magtay0 ng mall here in Cavite City...especially because its a dead end...y0u'll 0nly pass by Cavite City, if u are t0 visit Cavite City...hahaha...naging SM Thread it0...

medyo di maganda ang business ngayon dito sa Cavite City, last week lang one of the McDonald Outlets here closed.....

CHURCHES AND RELIGIOUS SHRINES

IMUS CATHEDRAL
The church is an exponent of old Hispanis architecture and exudes an ambiance conducive to monastic life and spiritual meditation. The colors have darkened with time, nevertheless, one would not fail to notice the red colored bricks that make up the arches and walls of the place. Latin inscriptions accentuate the arches of the church.

http://www.philtourism.com/graphix/Festivals/misa-de-gallo.gif

MARAGONDON CATHOLIC CHURCH
Of 17th century vintage, the Marigondon Catholic Church was built by the Dominican friars. It has a large convent made of different antique woods and bricks. The wooden altar, pulpit and main portal are finely crafted. One of the mainattractions is the tower which in the olden times, served as a lookout for signs of enemy intruction.

sorry for the low quality pictures. :) Can anyone provide better? :D

I think the Calabarzon thread has some Cavite pics... :D

If ever, san naman itatayo ang SM Supercenter sa Cavite City, wla ng availble lots dun...

or dun sa my checkpoint nila itatayo yung dating mga fishponds?

I'm from San Antonio, Cavite City. I live near Sangley Point Air Base. Hope that our national government will develop that area. Sayang eh, it's location is very strategic sa Metro MAnila...

BEfore there's a ferry terminal from Fort San Felipe(Philippine Naval Base) up to CCP Complex kaya lang ngayon wla na....

Hell0! we live at the same place...hahaha...acc0rding t0 the pr0vincial website, they plan t0 make the military base as a Internati0nal C0ntainer Terminal, but the nati0nal g0vernment hasn't supp0rted the call. Btw, the reas0n why the ferry terminal hasn't been successful n0w is because, 0nly few pe0ple ride it. I tried it twice, the capacity was alm0st 200 but the passengers were a little 0ver 10. :D And with regards t0 SM Supercenter Cavite, I saw that at Wikipedia...h0pe we get pri0ritized.

medyo di maganda ang business ngayon dito sa Cavite City, last week lang one of the McDonald Outlets here closed.....

talaga? kumain pa kami dun ah. :D your right, medyo nga mahirap ang access sa cavite city kaya ganun. :)

The 0ne at the back 0f the new public market. And with regards t0 Mcd0nalds, it really is cl0sed, sad, my friends have great mem0ries there. But acc0rding t0 my friend wh0se family 0wns the building where 7-11 currently stands, it shall be dem0lished t0 put up KFC.

There are several tourist spots sa Cavite City kaya lang mukhang napapabayaan sya ng local gov't....

but there are several structures na newly built here like the San Sebastian College-Recoletos building in Canacao which will house the Highschool Department and the 4th Centennial Gym of SSC-R which become the venue of PBL and PBA Games

I'm looking for SSC-R pics.....

CAVITE is a province of the Philippines located on the southern shores of Manila Bay in the CALABARZON region in Luzon, just 30 kilometers south of Manila. Its capital is the Trece Martires City. Cavite is surrounded by the provinces of Laguna to the east and Batangas to the south. To the west lies the South China Sea.

CAVITE is strategically located at the intermediate zone of the metropolitan Manila area. The urban influence of the metropolis together with easy accessibility, adequate infrastructure and fresh natural setting makes the picturesque province an ideal refuge.

One of the more affluent and spectacular places in Cavite is the San Lazaro Leisure Park. It's a rare and inviting part of Cavite characterized by rolling topography, endless vistas and an adventure-laden facility.

No wonder Manila Jockey Club in partnership with Century Communities Corp. took no time in quickly transforming part of these sprawling 17 hectares of premium land into one of the country's finest gated residential communities. "The city center of Cavite is quickly becoming the south's next super city. Its location and infrastructure as well as proximity and accessibility to Metro Manila have made it a gateway and suburb to Makati," says Century Communities COO Marco Antonio. He also quickly adds that even though Cavite is near to the Makati central, the city of Cavite still offers a breath of fresh air and country living.

The next Big Thing?

Cavite is one of the fastest growing provinces in the country due to its close proximity to Metro Manila. Many companies, such as Intel, have established manufacturing plants in numerous industrial parks.

Three SM Malls and two Robinsons malls are located in Cavite. They are the SM City Dasmariñas, SM City Bacoor, SM Supercenter Molino (found also in Bacoor), Robinsons Place Imus and Robinsons Place Dasmariñas.

just to add up,i've reaD in some article that cavite is the most urbanized province in the country..i think cebu ranked 2nd..

h0w true :D

Oh definitely. Sometimes you can't even tell where Manila ends and Cavite begins. :)

^^ sa matraffic na na daan ng talaba :D hehe

anyway, I agree on that. Most of the people living in Cavite are urbanized and most of them have thier jobs in Manila. Even schools and Universities in Manila are quite near compare to the other provinces. :)

The stretch of Aguinald0 Highway fr0m Talaba, Bacoor to Robinsons Imus are places where bottlenecks occur. :D

^^ Yeah, we passed by there from Tagaytay believing that it was a relief from SLEX but it was the other way around. :lol:

But it's cheaper....hehehehe :D

Btw, i noticed when i went to the city hall in Cavite. Most computers have flat screen monitors...hahahaha...

really? :eek2:

does it mean that the cavite city gov't has a lot of budget for that?

Its part of the full computerization of city operations...hehehe....It is very much delayed, but the new flat screen monitors are really a head turner when you're there...Hope they get to renovate everything else...Hahaha...The computers doesn't suit the building... :D

you're right! our city hall needs a facelift!!!! correct me if i'm wrong, that structure is the former provincial capitol of the province of cavite before it moves to trece martirez city?

dunno...check ka roger's website...

www.rogersantos.org/kabite.html

its quite informative.

really? :eek2:

does it mean that the cavite city gov't has a lot of budget for that?

at least you can see where our budget go. :D

I just wish services are as high tech as the computers! :D

I went there to get a sedula, its still handwritten...

ei guys....i need ur advise...Wise ba na maginvest sa Cavite? Diba ang daming residential and commercial estates jan sa Cavite now....One of which is located near SM Dasma and Gateway Business Park. Ok ba bumili ng property malapit jan? Is Cavite the next big thing? watchathink?

I just purchased one jan sa Rio de Oro...

yup...its quite wise...business or residential... :D Cavite is the next big thing...hehehe :D

My mom forced me to buy one..eheheheheh...i've never been to cavite..but i trust her judgement...she said ang dami daw ecozones and business parks jan! the economy is way too dynamic!

Yeah... :D hehehe....

To make Cavite more attractive to investors they should construct good roads and highways. The traffic in that area is terribly bad. :D

Just invest on those you think will be priceless when time comes. Like the once in Silang Cavite I forgot the name maybe Ill post it someday. The place is really great with up hill roads and full fascilities and recreation centers. And to think its just few KM away from Tagaytay so the temperature there is quite the same as the place. :)

Here is a shot taken just nearby the Bacoor proper (I'm from Bacoor):

The house in Bacoor, Cavite which served as the headquarters of the Philippine Revolutionary Government under then President Emilio Aguinaldo after Philippine Independence was declared on June 12th, 1898. (In effect, Bacoor served as the capital of the Philippines from June 15th to September 10th, 1898 before moving to Malolos, Bulacan.)

Dude, it's part of an attempt to widen Aguinaldo Highway into a six-lane highway. Thing is, we have to thank the Revillas for that...:p

Kaso pag tamaan ng matinding sigwa eh binabaha pa rin yan maski me semento na. Si Aspog naman kasi eh...

di ba meron ng mga posteng bakal sa magkabilang sides ng hi-way..parang malabo yata na maging 3 lanes each yun..

tsaka sana yung drainage system ay ayusin na din, dun sa may part ng tirona hi-way eh open sewer pa din..

Why are there posts on both sides of the highway? One side is for electricity and I presume telecommunications. What's the other one for?

Also for electricity (and telecommunicatons). Cavite's housing needs grow by the day (as evidenced by more subdivision development), apparently kaya ung isang side tinayuan na rin ng mga poste.

Btw, i noticed when i went to the city hall in Cavite. Most computers have flat screen monitors...hahahaha...

mayaman naman sila eh..and that is good for them too.. :)

went to cavite yesterday. I like the newly-opened Leslie's there in Noveleta. nice place, very relaxing.

ei there..is is true that bacoor is already a city?

ei there..is is true that bacoor is already a city?

No, its not true...Although Bacoor is already engaging to be one...

o0w..
that's what my friend said..but i'd believe you coz you came from bacoor.. :D
my friend's from dasma.. :)

nah....i'm from Cavite City :D

any cavite updates?

nah....i'm from Cavite City :D

ooh..so how's cavite city?and why didn't cavite city become capital of cavite when it is named like its province? :)

^^ was wondrin bout that too, pero dami din namang cities na hindi sila mismong capital ng province, take for example davao city, and zamboanga city.

Actually I don't know...Maybe its because, Cavite City is small. Half of the Cavite Peninsula is composed of two military bases, Sangley Point and Fort San Felipe. While the Corregidor Islands wherein Cavite City has jurisdiction is a tourist destination. Therefore, in a way, size does matter. :D

I think the provincial government should be easily equally accessible to all towns and cities hence it needs to be in the center.

I think the provincial government should be easily equally accessible to all towns and cities hence it needs to be in the center.

If you were to ask me, I know that Gov. Maliksi wanted to transfer the Kapitoliyo from Trece Martires (which logically is the center of the province as seen in the map) to Imus owing to accessibility.

Even the province's official website (which got busted by the way) recognizes IMUS and not TMC as the provincial capital. According to my moles sa Kapitoliyo, when Maliksi first assumed office ginawa nyang priority resolution sa Sp ang paghirang sa Imus bilang kabisera. But outside Cavite, TMC is still recognized as the capital as that act mush have been snowballed after the provincial edict and such must be ratified through an RA. So Cavite in a way is like Agusan Del Norte, where Butuan is still recognized as the provincial capital when in fact according to some it no longer is but Cabadbaran.

And some trivia...Before TMC, Cavite City was the provincial capital.

No, its not true...Although Bacoor is already engaging to be one...

Actually it's being pushed (pinipilit) by its municipal government, and people are NOT receptive of the idea of converting Bacoor into a semi-independent city.

I should know because I'm from Bacoor.

^^ was wondrin bout that too, pero dami din namang cities na hindi sila mismong capital ng province, take for example davao city, and zamboanga city.

as far as i know, independent cities ang davao and zamboanga,like naga,kaya hindi sila capital..though dating capital ang naga ng camsur..i just dont know with the 2 cities above ^^ kung dati silang capital or talagang independent na sila from the very start..pero sabi nga ni karirista in a post, dating capital ang cavite city.. :)

i dont get the idea of the semi-independent city thingy.. :?

...
And some trivia...Before TMC, Cavite City was the provincial capital.

Yup! Cavite City was the Capital until 1954 where under Republic Act No. 981, it was transferred to Trece Martirez City.

Malapit na kami sa Tagaytay City , hence the climate is also cool

so what's the reason behind that?did cavite city bacome an independent city?

I dunno the reason, but i'll try to research on it. :D

:D

i think they will put sm citycentre at the back of the market in cavite as i saw last month ago a huge place there at the back.

Cavite has no independent (or highly-urbanized in bureaucratic parlance) cities. All three (Cavite City, Tagaytay, and TMC) are considered as component or those which receive some funding from the provincial government.

It just so happened that Cavite City is considered as the province's largest city in terms of population and commerce (though Tagaytay's giving 'em a run for their money due to tourism) ...

any pics from of cavite?

eow

buhayin natin ang thread na to....any updates?

Lapit na ng Regada (Water Festival)sa CAvite City!!! BAsaan na naman 'to!!! :D

so TMC simply became cavite's capital due to proximity?! :?

Yes, but in some way, Cavite City has its way to generate revenues from tourism. Income generated from Tourism in Corregidor goes to Cavite City since it is part of its jurisdiction.

what's SM city centre?

Actually I think its SM Supercenter. :D

Lapit na ng Regada (Water Festival)sa CAvite City!!! BAsaan na naman 'to!!! :D

Hahaha...Yup. June 24 :P

ooh.. :D
is it SM supercenter cavite or salitran?

ooh.. :D
is it SM supercenter cavite or salitran?

In my opinion, SM Supercenter Cavite will be more feasible than SM Supercenter Salitran. Salitran is very near where SM Dasma is located. At least in the case of SM Supercenter Cavite, those from Noveleta could might as well go there than SM Bacoor.

ooh..okay.. :)
but are both supercenters already in the pipeline?

Dunno yet

These were taken at Tagaytay during our retreat.

The highway looks very neat and clean.

It is a supercenter if ever a mall will be constructed....This is the location you're talking about...

http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/mygz14/cavitecity01.jpg

Some say, it will be an exit to the Coastal Road Extension. Some say, it is where an SM Mall will be constructed. But in PEZA's website, they say that there will be an industrial park at Bacoor Bay, Cavite City. The name is Marcelo IPG Industrial and Aqua Farming Park. But I can't see any place for this except for this empty lot. They say that Industrial Park is 136 Hectares.

tama lang sana kung industrial park ang gawin, kailangan yan ng cavite city para maka generate man lang ng income. sana gawing economic zones na rin ang sangley, may fort san felipe din naman kaya i centralize na lang sa fort san felipe ang operations nung dalawang base. another thing that interests me here is diba may 3 reclamations na gagawin sana along bacoor bay and manila bay? ano na nangyari dun? how bout dun sa land na ni level before reaching checkpoint, tagal nang naging idle nung development na yun. i saw a flyer about those projects a few years ago when i was in cavite city. now if you are wondering bakit ako nakikisawsaw dito, i was born and raised in cavite city, pero living in cebu na. but cavite city will always be special for me, naks! sayang i was in cavite december of last year eh kala ko walang taga cavite city na forumer dito, dami rin pala. nice to know may cavite thread din.

Mas gusto ko sana commercial zone yan, then sangley ang gawing industrial park :D

Speaking Out: Ignacio R. Bunye

WE have mixed feelings about Secretary Pat Sto. Tomas’ leaving the Cabinet effective July 3. On one hand, we are happy that she would have her wish to have a change of pace and to have more time with her family. But we are also sad to see one of the best Cabinet members leave the official family.

Labor Secretary Sto. Tomas, whom we in the Cabinet all fondly call as Secretary Pat, leaves behind a wealth of good deeds and successful reforms in her long record of public service. Part of her legacy is a single-digit strike rate, from 60 strikes in the year 2000 to only 9 for the first half of this year. She is also a contributory to a single-digit unemployment rate and the continued rise of employment levels in the past five years. Because of her integrity and competence, she was able to strengthen the programs of the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration to ensure that OFW contributions are managed well and with full transparency. It was only under her administration that the OWWA now enjoys a budget surplus. OWWA funds have reached its record level of R10 billion while the agency itself reduced its operating expenses by half, to ensure that more funds are earmarked for programs and services for its members.

We certainly wish her the best of luck on her new job as Chair of the Development Bank of the Philippines while we welcome aboard her worthy replacement, legal luminary and labor relations expert, Arturo Brion who is himself an old hand in the department.

Incidentally, both Sec Pat and Art Brion, (along with labor luminaries Nieves Confesor, Ruben Torres, Franklin Drilon, Benny Laguesma and Jose Brillantes), were mentored by the late Ka Blas Ople. Ka Blas would have been undoubtedly proud that his legacy of service to the common man continues through the hard work of his protégés, Secretaries Pat Sto. Tomas and Arturo Brion.

During the Independence Day weekend, my family and I took a "journey of discovery" through historicallyrich Cavite. Our first stop was the Geronimo Berenguer de los Reyes (GBR) Museum in General Trias, Cavite. The museum is located within the Gateway Business Park and is accessible through Amadeo Road. Incidentally, Amadeo is known as the "Coffee Town" due to the different locally grown high-quality varieties of coffee beans.

GBR Museum is divided into several pavilions, several of which display rare photographs of 19th and 20th century Philippines taken Albert Honiss and Manuel Arias y Rodriguez, British and Spanish photographers, respectively. Other photos were acquired from the news agency Underwood & Underwood. Some memorable photographs were of Malacañang in the 1800s, the execution of Jose Rizal and portraits of revolutionary heroes.

The founder of the museum, Geronimo Berenguer de los Reyes Jr. is a descendant of Crisanto de los Reyes, one of the primary supporters of the Cavite Mutiny of 1872. The names of the Cavite Mutiny martyrs are etched in the granite memorial which stands in front of the museum.

In addition, there are two pavilions which display models of aircrafts and other aviation and aerospace memorabilia, including authenticated souvenirs of various US space missions.

We were awed by the time, effort and expense that went into the establishment and maintenance of this very impressive facility. It is definitely worth a trip, not just by students, but by anyone who would like to revisit and honor our country’s glorious history.

Our other stop was at the Emilio Aguinaldo Shrine in Kawit, Cavite. At the time of our visit, the shrine was being prepared for the Independence Day flag-raising ceremony the following day.

One very important fact we learned from the curator, Alvin Alcid, was that the actual declaration of independence did not take place on the balcony of Aguinaldo’s home, but from its window. He pointed out that the balcony was not added until 1924, when General Aguinaldo oversaw extensive renovations of the sprawling mansion. The old five peso bill, according to Mr. Alcid, correctly depicts the declaration of independence as having taken place from the window.

Our tour of the shrine’s covered the main living areas, the balcony, the steps leading to the structure’s tower, the bedrooms of General Aguinaldo’s daughters, the old silong, which now houses General Aguinaldo’s memorabilia and the grounds. It is noteworthy that the house is filled with many secret passages, including an underground tunnel leading to the St. Mary Magdalene Church nearby. "Magdalo," the general’s revolutionary name, was taken from the name of his hometown’s patron saint, Mary of Magdala.

Our first President was laid to rest behind his house in a simple tomb surrounded by Philippine flags. A few steps away is his 1920 Packard, which was restored and which is now encased in glass.

Prior to the 1998 Centennial Celebration, vehicular traffic was allowed directly in front of the shrine. However, as part of the Centennial Celebration and to preserve and protect the structure, traffic has since been diverted through a road loop. Some properties directly in front of the shrine have also been acquired by the government to make way for a park in the general’s honor.

We left the "House of Independence" with a greater appreciation of our history and the hope that other Filipinos will have the same opportunity to take a step back into our treasured past.

Regada, the Cavite City Water Festival on June 24. :D

puede post namn kayo ng Imus , kasi progressive na rin ang Imus
BTW i am a Caviteno too

@mygz, mali ako ng quote, sangley ang ibig kong sabihin na sana maging industrial zone

yang naka google earth, yan na ba yung public market? anyway, kita ko dating bahay namin, pati bahay ng grandfolks ko. galing! kita pati terrace ng bahay nila.

heres cavite city, with sangley occupying almost 1/3 of the land area. that space could be utilized for better purposes, yung income generating. ilan lang ba nakikinabang sa sangley? sino sino lang ba? denebs? monte carlo? at iba pang ewan. while kung gagawin yang economic zone, freeport o maski international port man lang eh di mas malaki sana kikitain ng cavite city, at mas maraming tao pa matutulungan in terms of fresh cash flowing through payroll ng mga tao. subic and clark learned from the mistakes in cavite city.

Bacoor cityhood vote on September 13. :)

^^ Wow! Bacoor is moving towards cityhood.
Sa Imus, ang tawag na sa "munisipyo" City Hall na. I don't know if that is for the preparation for cityhood. And still, people are confused: Who is the real capital? I grew up in Cavite for 12 years thinking Trece Martires City is the cabisera but many people refer to Imus as the capital. Political capital, I think because most of the govs came here (Revilla, Remulla, Malicsi, etc.)

Whatever happened to Dasma's cityhood?

Anyway, hopefully whoever sits next year as gov, masolusyonan na sana ito:
http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h291/berniemacksouthcentral/CAMFK52Z.jpg Aguinaldo Highway, traffic. Sa Imus na yan, sa harapan ng PacMac (By the way, taga-Southern City ako dati sa tabi ng Robinsons)

Bacoor, Imus and Dasma are all running for Cityhood. It just so happens Bacoor was first :) If I'm right, it would take a year or so before Bacoor can fully become a city because the plesbicite for Taguig's cityhood was done in 1998. Though the delay was because of Alan Cayetano's blocking of the cityhood move.

By the way, what are the updates in the Manila-Cavite Coastal Road Extention? Balita ko, after dun sa Noveleta, kakabig pa-silangan ang "expressway" papuntang Laguna, sa SLEX.
http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h291/berniemacksouthcentral/CARFIU0F.jpg

What are the updates na rin sa Daang Hari?

I'll take more shots when I go around the city and across the province :)

Daang Hari is already opened. It will terminate at the Aguinaldo H-way near Athena.

Daang Hari is already opened. It will terminate at the Aguinaldo H-way near Athena.

That is the Alabang-Molino leg of Daang Hari. What happened to the Pasong Buwaya leg? Wala pa? Because this major thoroughfare will ease up the pain of driving and commuting in already packed Aguinaldo Highway.

Kasi ang napansin ko, kada uwi ko sa Cavite, lumalala ng lumalala ang traffic. Noong Grade 5 pa ako, ang traffic papuntang Maynila magisismula lang sa Shell station or sa Justinville. Ngayon hanggang Anabu na kung minsan.

Yung sa Coastal ang inaabangan ko, kasi balita ko di lang daw nagtatapos ang daan sa Noveleta. Lulusot daw papuntang SLEX. Wow!

Any pics of civic places like parks in Cavite?

Corregidor Island would be nice :)

sir ito po sya. medyo rough road pa yung termination sa aguinaldo h-way but construction is on-going.

For those who are familiar with Cavite City

Given that Sangley Point no longer becomes a Philippine Naval Base, what would you most prefer it to be converted into?
A.) Commercial Area
B.) International Container Port
C.) Special Economic Zone
D.) Industrial Area
E.) Others. Please Specify ____________ (example: Domestic Airport)

Kindly Justify your answer! :)

Parang survey ang dating

In my opinion, I would prefer it to be a commercial area. This could boost businesses in the city and for job employment to flourish so as the people who reside here wouldn't need to go and travel to distant places just to work. Many residents work in Manila because opportunities are not present here. Ideally, since the city is small, it should be easier to manage but ironically, there are no visible effects of proper local governmence.

Also, as I read the website of the local government, I encountered this phrase which I found was relevant to the discussion of Sangley Point's conversion.

Among other objectives in land use development planning is the proper allocation of land to maximize its utilization for development needs. A case in point is the 136.55-hectare land area of Sangley Point being occupied by the Philippine Navy / Philippine Airforce, 15th Strike Wing.

Strong points favor the conversion of Sangley Point into an international container port. Its location is quite adaptable for sea transport, its existing air and port facilities would be upgraded and improved, it could directly service the export-oriented firms based in Cavite province’s industrial estates as well as those in lower Laguna, and it would as an alternate port decongest the Manila International Container Terminal.

It’s a pity that Sangley Point’s development potentials could not gain positive support from the national leadership.

special economic zone for me.

just think about the jobs it can create. tapos fresh money flowing and circulating in cavite city through payroll nung mga nagtatrabaho sa zone. malaking tulong sana yan sa cavite city. tapos pwede rin syang gawing infotech park, or even just a portion of the special econ zone ay gawing it park. resulta nito will be a higher purchasing power ng mga taga cavite city, dyan na rin papasok ang commercial establishments. multiplier effect lang talaga.

OT; bukas pa rin ba padis sa cavite city? sana makabalik ako w/in this year. i miss my old folks and relatives dyan. miss ko na mga pagkain dyan like talaba, samba and butil, pati mga lutong chavacano like morcon, minorcon, embotido at bacalao. ayan gutom na tuloy ako.

...
OT; bukas pa rin ba padis sa cavite city?...

Yup. Bukas pa naman. May concert ang 6-Cycle Mind Friday or Saturday Night :)

my dad's from naic...anything new about that town?

Bacoor cityhood vote on September 13. :)

Seryoso...where did u get this, from INQ7?

And i don't think tuloy un, only the Comelec can schedule a plebiscite.

I believe nagtatayo sila ng mall dun sa Naic. Dunno where exactly. It's a nice place especially if you crave for beaches. Di man siya kasing ganda ng sa batangas, pero it's worth the travel na rin.

Yup. From what I heard, the reason why Mayor Castillo was planning to convert Bacoor into a Independent Component City because once it happens, magkakaroon ng sariling district ang Bacoor enabling him to run as Bacoor's Representative in the Lower House. If I'm not mistaken, it's his last term sa Bacoor, right? I think I read this from Manila Bulletin, and it was Carling Filio who said such statement.

tignan mo nga naman tong mayor natin sa bacoor. gagawin lahat para kumapit pa din sa puwesto.

Oh Politics, what a shame :bash:

You mean gagawing chartered city ang Bacoor? Wow ha! Ang liit na ng 1st district Cavite. Nakupow! Kung gagawin man nilang syudad yan, sana ma-improve muna ang infrastructures sa Bacoor tulad ng mga kalsada at ang solid waste management.

On the other hand, noong high school ako narinig ko na ang Dasma magiging city pero pinigilan daw sa plebisito ng taumbayan.

Ang Imus, ewan ko. Baka hanggang ngayon nag-aaway pa rin si Saqui at si Jaro. :D

Lahat naman ng cities underwent a charter kasi they passed through congress prior to becoming a city. What they want Bacoor to be is an independent component city if i'm not mistaken. An independent component city will be independent of the province. Citizens of Bacoor would not longer vote for Provincial officials. Their budget would be independent of that of the province.

I am saying this because I am a resident of Bacoor myself, and if cityhood becomes a reality -- under "Aspog" Castillo -- I will dissociate myself from being a Bacoorenyo.

You are right -- it would also include Bacoor's application to have its congressional district which may come in handy once cityhood has been ratified, owing to its population. Or if not in the Lower House, it's possible Aspog may run again for mayor as if Bacoor becomes a city, he could run again for the same (look at Binay of yore)...

I did ask around some people in Bacoor and even they themselves were not informed of this and that they are appalled at Aspog's "fast-tracking" of cityhood.

Take note of this Wikipedia article, specifically about Bacoor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacoor,_Cavite):

"...Castillo vowed to push for cityhood of Bacoor at all costs whether the residents would like it or not."

Agreeance?

You mean gagawing chartered city ang Bacoor? Wow ha! Ang liit na ng 1st district Cavite. Nakupow! Kung gagawin man nilang syudad yan, sana ma-improve muna ang infrastructures sa Bacoor tulad ng mga kalsada at ang solid waste management.

Yan nga ang numero unong premise umano ni Kongresman Abaya kaya nya hindi inisponsoran ang cityhood bill ngayon. Kaya etong si Asspog, naghanap ng kakampi...si Rene Velarde ng Buhay Party-list ang ginawang principal sponsor ng cityhood bill sa Bacoor? (kasama pa si Christian Señeres)

HB 3116 – Converting the Municipality of Bacoor into an independent component city to be known as the City of Bacoor (Reps. Rene Velarde & Hans Christian Señeres, primary sponsors)

Aren't Party-list representatives and tongressmen not in direct representation of the town in question PROHIBITED from being the main/primary proponents of any cityhood bill?

And isa pa yang solid waste management, bagsyak na bagsak dyan si Asspog eh. Bacoor miserably failed in this! Imagine, walang koleksyon ng basura kapag araw ng Sabado -- isn't that a stupid idea, samantalang since andun sa mga bahay ang mga tao and it's a weekend eh mas mataas ang household waste consumption?


On the other hand, noong high school ako narinig ko na ang Dasma magiging city pero pinigilan daw sa plebisito ng taumbayan.

Ang Imus, ewan ko. Baka hanggang ngayon nag-aaway pa rin si Saqui at si Jaro. :D

Ewan ko rin. Sinakyan rin ng mga Remulla ang cityhood ng Bacoor eh (kasi kapartido nila si Asspog eh) di hamak naman na dapat mas mauna ang Imus at Dasmariñas para maging syudad...

Lahat naman ng cities underwent a charter kasi they passed through congress prior to becoming a city. What they want Bacoor to be is an independent component city if i'm not mistaken. An independent component city will be independent of the province. Citizens of Bacoor would not longer vote for Provincial officials. Their budget would be independent of that of the province.

Explained further:

1. If Bacoor becomes an independent component city, its citizens WILL NO LONGER VOTE for provicial officials (governor down to board member) and cannot anymore have a slice of the provincial budget.

2. If cityhood succeeds, kahanay na ng Bacoor ang mga sumusunod na considered independent cities (with * indicates it is an independent component city to which Bacoor may belong but Bacoor will still be considered more as an independent one rather than an component one)

Luzon: Angeles, Baguio, Lucena, Naga*, Olongapo, Santiago*
Metro Manila: Caloocan, Las Piñas, Makati, Mandaluyong, Manila, Marikina, Muntinlupa, Parañaque, Pasig, Pasay, Quezon, Taguig, Valenzuela
Visayas: Bacolod, Cebu, Iloilo, Mandaue, Ormoc*
Mindanao: Butuan, Cagayan de Oro, Cotabato*, Davao, General Santos, Iligan, Zamboanga

Oh, by the way. Lemme show some instances of ineptitude by Bacoor traffic enforcers (BTMO, yung naka-green uniform sa sumusunod na pictures) as they still put a stop to northbound traffic in Bacoor even at 9:30 PM:

Guilty rin ang CTMO (Cavite's equivalent of MMDA) pero ang mas me propensity na gumawa nito at ang BTMO enforcers. Lalo pag sila ang nagtatake-over sa pagmamando ng trapik sa Aguinaldo Highway.

long term: i would like to see our roads in cavite to expand to 4 lines. sobrang kitid ng daan of w/c the province population already surpassed road capacity, to think majority of cavite populance are into middle income level na that have their own cars. national roads sa cavite 2 lanes lang like gen trias-imus (malagasang)... very narrow.

@Karirista
Bakit "Aspog" tawag niyo kay Castillo? Hahaha...Sana matapos na yung Coastal Road extension para makaiwas na kami sa traffic situation sa Bacoor especially yung gailng Longos hanggang SM Bacoor na minsan, mas matindi pa kaysa sa traffic situation sa Manila.

To the rest, wala nang sumagot ng tanong ko...hehehe...Nakalimot na ata...wahahaha

Repost ko lang:
For those who are familiar with Cavite City

Given that Sangley Point no longer becomes a Philippine Naval Base, what would you most prefer it to be converted into?
A.) Commercial Area
B.) International Container Port
C.) Special Economic Zone
D.) Industrial Area
E.) Others. Please Specify ____________ (example: Domestic Airport)

Kindly Justify your answer!

Guys, avoid name calling please (ex. tongressman for congressman)

Anyway, aside from Trece Martires and Cavite, are there other cities for the Province of Cavite?

Guys, avoid name calling please (ex. tongressman for congressman)

Ok :)

Anyway, aside from Trece Martires and Cavite, are there other cities for the Province of Cavite?

There are only three, Cavite City, Tagaytay City and Trece Martires City :) Although some people disassociate Tagaytay with Cavite.

^ Yeah, at first thought, I believed that Tagaytay was part of Batangas (because Taal Volcano is under the jurisdiction of Batangas and Tagaytay is across Taal Volcano) but it isn't actually :)

@Karirista
Bakit "Aspog" tawag niyo kay Castillo?

Kaya "Asspog" ang tawag namin sa pinakawalang-kwentang meyor sa balat ng Sangkapilipinasan ay dahil historically sya ang better half ng mapangyurak noon sa karapatang-pantao sa Cavite (the other half is Johnny "Wapog" Remulla).

Mas lalong naging "Asspog" ang taguri sa kanya dahil sa kanyang mga deals na ineenter nya lalo sa basura sa Bacoor na bagkus imbis na makatulong ay nakasama pa sa bayan!

Ok. I understand, pero next time avoid calling names dito. Forum rules kasi. Ok? Hehehe... Peace :)

Aba ay ganoon baga? Kasi doon sa aming kanayunan sa Indang aba ay, pagkalapi-lapit ng Tagaytay sa amin eh!

Share ko lang experience ko.
Interesante kasi ang sa "Upland" na parte ng Cavite, nag-iiba ang tono ng pananalita. Ay kumbaga, mayoon nang tonong Batangueño dine. Aba ay kung minsan, nabibigla pa ang mga taga-kapatagan (1st and 2nd district Cavite - malapit sa Maynila) kong gayon kami magsalita ng Tagalog. :D

Pero eto, pag ako kinakausap ko ang mga friends ko sa Las Piñas noong high school na tulad nito: "Nainom ka na ba ng juice?"....mabibigla sila. Huh? "Iinomin kami ng juice?!" sabi nila. Ang ibig kong sabihin noon, "uminom ka na ba ng juice". .... :lol:

Kahit maliit na probinsya ang Cavite at ubod na pagkalapit nito sa Maynila, meron talagang "distinct" na pananalita ang mga Caviteño na iba sa taga-Maynila. :)

Aguinaldo Higway pa lang tol, wala nang lugar para palaparan pa ang kalsada. Nakakainis na lalo na kung nasa Panapaan ka na. Tapos dun sa amin sa Southern City, pag-gising sa umaga ang almusal mo traffic. 3 oras pa ang layo ng QC kung may dala kang sasakyan at tatahakin mo ang Aguinaldo Highway.

Sana nakita na ito ng mga pulitiko noong una pa. Noong puro palayan pa ang Imus para kahit papaano naka-plano sila. Ngayong ang Cavite na ang pinaka-masikip (densest) na probinsya sa buong bansa na ngayo'y maaaring umabot na sa mahigit 2milyong katao na ang nakatira. Noong bata pa ako yung McDo sa may Talaba-Coastal Junction andun pa, tapos kahit rush hour noon, di naman traffic. Ngayon, simula toll gate hanggang Robinsons Imus na ang traffic. May balak bang mag-implement ang Cavite ng traffic scheme sa bandang norte ng Cavite?

Kahit papaano may Daang Hari na. Ang hinahantay ko yung Coastal Road. Yung LRT extention hanggang Niog, kamusta na? :)

^^ napansin sa cavite city naman, mahilig magdagdag ng "eh" sa mga salita. mahilig din magmura. hehehehehe. ay dami palang caviteño dito! sa mga taga cavite city. im related to the lagac's and we used to live in san antonio, dati nung may ferry pa sa PN nakakasakay ko si wilma doesnt, kengkay yung babae kaya lang laging huli sa ferry. saya ng san juan diyan! pag holy week naman dyan lang ako nakakakita ng madugong penitensya. do they still do it pa ba?

Tama ka rin. Nung mga first days ko sa College sa Manila, niyaya ko kumain yung mga classmates ko. Sinabi ko, nakain ka ba ng Isda? Ayon, nagkaroon ng debate! Hahaha....

ung mga classmates ko na college na taga imus lagi kong naririnig yung salitang "dang" sa umpisa ng sentence nila....

Actually it's being pushed (pinipilit) by its municipal government, and people are NOT receptive of the idea of converting Bacoor into a semi-independent city.

I should know because I'm from Bacoor.

i'm also live in bacoor, (molino)
i'm not agree na maging city ang bacoor, coz tataas ang tax.. and kukurakutin n lang ng mga buwaya.......
anyway d2 sa lugar namin, mabilis na umunlad d2 sa molino, after 10 yrs n lumipat kami d2 from Las pinas, nagtayuan na ung mcdo, jollibee, RFC mall, SM, university (UPHR), hospitals (molino doctors & st. michael clinic), wet and dry market. 1 5-7 storey res. or condo., mini groceries (malvar & emilus supermarket) 2 7/11, etc... and of course a lot of subd. from low to 1st class and a molino Blvd. (from 2 lanes to 4 lanes)
balita ko, binili n ng sm molino ung malaking lot sa harapan nya for exten. balita lang sa ngaun........

i-po2st ko ung pics. by this week especially the 5-7 storey res. or condo

sa mga taga-bacoor, naalala nyo ba yung naging bundok na ang mga tambak n basura sa mga kalsada ng bacoor? balita ko, sabit dyan c asspog kasi blah...blah...blah....

According to Manila Bulletin, September 11 Issue, there will be no plebiscite on Bacoor City Bill. What is scheduled for September 13 is the House Local Government Committee Meeting concerning the various bills on Bacoor's cityhood campaign.

In the first place ndi pa naman pwedeng magkaron ng plebisito sa Bacoor cityhood eh.

Considerations:

1. Wala pang charter na sina-sign si PGMArrovo (benefactor ni Asspog) para mag-warrant ng isang plebiscite.
2. Pwedeng mapawalang-bisa ang cityhood bill dahil sa technicality. In fact, that house bill pushing for the cityhood of Bacoor is ILLEGAL because of its principal sponsor (refer to some previous posts). I heard some chismax that Rep. Jun Abaya will file some dissenting opinion because under House rules, it is only the representative directly representing the town (in Bacoor's case, him) who could be the proponent of the cityhood bill.

Nakuryente pala tayo ng Inquirer...but I don't trust Bulletin either. :p They have an editor/columnist who's int he payroll of Asspog and is openly campaigning for cityhood.

Actually hanggang ngayon din naman ah. Kelan ba naman umayos ang koleksyon ng basura sa Bacoor sa walong taon na si Asspog ang meyor, ndi naman yan umayos hanggat sya ang meyor...di ba kumikita nga sya sa basura eh. Tas eto pa, sya lang ang meyor na NDI NANINIWALA/NAGSUSUBSCRIBE sa pilosopiya ng effective solid waste management, nagdadalawang-isip pa bago mag-implement ng pagbubukod sa basura (when in fact its neighboring localities of Imus and Las Piñas and lately Dasmariñas have been staging successful solid waste management campaigns)...

Some pieces of trivia:

1. Hindi ba ninyo alam na Bacoor LANG ang bayan sa buong Pilipinas na 6 days a week LANG ang koleksyon ng basura? (Kasi ndi nangongolekta ng basura pag araw ng Sabado na kung kelan mas mataas kaya ang waste consumption dahil sa mas mara'ing tao ang andun sa mga bahay nila)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v490/reyrefran/pakshet%20101/aspogposter-basura.jpg

2. Sa Bacoor, me PhP360 garbage tax na binabayaran on top of the real property tax (pero sa Imus, Dasmariñas, Las Piñas and other places here, even Baguio City, residents pay no such kind of fee), pero saan kaya napupunta yung pera na pinambabayad ng tao kung ndi naman episyente ang koleksyon ng basura? Smacks of corruption di ba?

... May balak bang mag-implement ang Cavite ng traffic scheme sa bandang norte ng Cavite?



Ewan ko sa mga pulitikong yan. They must realy be hell proud of the stop-and-go system (locally known as buhos) that even Asspog and his cohorts spent thousands of pesoses para lang magpaskil ng billboards (na wala namang wenta) patungkol sa iskemang yan. Amp

That's why I hardly trust ALL broadsheets in our country. Me mga bias na ndi mo maintindihan.

I'd rather watch ABS-CBN News or CNN

engggg abs-cbn hindi bias? ennnggg...

choose the lesser evil hehe

Pssst, please avoid political bickerings :)

^^ political bickerings? eversince time immemorial pa yan sa kasaysayan ng Pilipinas :D

Anyway, does that "Buhos" system the other meaning of "counterflow-every-rush-hour" traffic scheme? Hanggang Imus kaya yan. Hanggang Double7 (Aguinaldo Hiway-Bucandala junction) o Makro kaya yan kung minsan.

Pinagdadasal ko lang na sana wag magsabaysabay ang sale sa SM Dasma, Bacoor, Rob Imus and the likes kasi yung naranasan ko last August 15,2000 na sabay sabay nag-sale (pati Lotus Mall), nagparang parking lot ang highway at di na gumalaw ng mahigit 5 oras!

Sana continuous lang development ng Cavite...I love the resorts there.Also the historical places there are amazing too.

Yeah

Oo nga pero mas matindi sa Bacoor. Maski ndi na rush hour na ituturing, nagbubuhos pa rin on both ends pag BTMO na ang nagtatrapik tas maski alas-diyes ng gabi na!!!

Ay sinabi pa, busit talaga...para que pa yung pangongolekta nila ng PhP360 garbage tax per household kung once a week lang ang hakot ng basura/me laktaw pa ung araw sa arawang kolekta ng basura? Ampness talaga...

Ano pa ba ang maaasahan ninyo kay Jessie "Asspog" Castillo, ang poster king that side (north) of Cavite?

sana mapalitan na sya. a couple of weeks ago akala ko may barilan dito sa springville yun pala nagcecelebrate ng birthday dun sa bagong coliseum at puro fireworks. tiyak ko pera ng gobyerno ginamit don

sana mapalitan na sya. a couple of weeks ago akala ko may barilan dito sa springville yun pala nagcecelebrate ng birthday dun sa bagong coliseum at puro fireworks. tiyak ko pera ng gobyerno ginamit don

Oo naman pera ng gubyerno gamit dun. Nun bang makita mo ung fireworks display eh magarbo ba?

I'm sure mapapalitan na si Asspog kasi 3 terms na syang mayor ng Bacoor (since 1998). Pero pag matuloy ang cityhood eh makakatakbo pa sya ulit nyan.

Whatever, I have this information from my moles na next year (2007) ay magiging 3-cornered ang mayoralty race sa Bacoor, at eto DAW ang mga contenders:

Strike Revilla (common knowledge naman na kapatid sya ni Bong Revilla at minsan nang naging konsehal ng Bacoor bago maging Bokal ng First District at PCSO Director. Although he is in favor of converting Bacoor into a city, he has reservations on it esp. timing -- bat daw kung kelan ndi pa talaga maayos ang mga problema sa Bacoor na pwede naman maayos eh)
Minnie Castillo (asawa ni Asspog)
Edwin Malvar (incumbent vice mayor, bet daw ni Ayong "Unggoy" Maliksi; sinasabi ring pro-cityhood dahil minsan na rin yan naging tuta ni Asspog)

magarbo yung fireworks. it lasted for 15mins.

putek mukhang di matitino tong mga candidate ah.

Bakit bumabaha na sa Panapaan? Grabe ang trapik tuloy last Friday. Guess what, ang tagal ng Crow bus sa Pasay. Hanggang labasan sa Pasay Rotonda ang pila kasi sabi daw nila natrapik ang bus. Ganun din sa Erjohn at sa San Agustin sa Lawton.

Di naman ganyan dyan noon...Kung di aaksyunan yan malamang baka matulad na ang Bacoor sa Camanava.

magarbo yung fireworks. it lasted for 15mins.

putek mukhang di matitino tong mga candidate ah.

Of the three, choose the lesser evil.

And of them, Strike Revilla is the least evil (though tama ka na evil lahat sila). :lol:

I've heard that SM Supercenter Molino has been slightly expanded to accomodate 4 cinemas and is now called SM CITY MOLINO, can someone confirm?

where exactly is SM molino? is it beside RFC? i'm a bit surprised that molino would have an SM coz i never thought molino's population can support an SM mall. whenever i'd go to my mom's clinic, it seems like no one lives there. even the public market is quiet.

^ Molino Road, Molino 4, Bacoor, Cavite

I was wondering too why they placed a mall there. Quite small though at 50,000 square meters. But it has expanded which means they have a market there :D

Molino changed so fast. Dati talahiban at kinakatakutan. Ngayon, isang bagong lugar ng mga subdivisions na. Astig! Nasurpresa ako sa bilis ng pagdami ng establisyamento sa Molino. Kamusta na ang Paliparan at Salawag? Medyo may katagalan na rin akong di pumunta doon ha... :)

Basically, I think Daang Hari caused the Molino Boom! :D

Basically, I think Daang Hari caused the Molino Boom! :D

Back when I was a kid, tawag pa sa Molino ng mga taga-Aguinaldo Highway ay "kabilang nayon".

Meron talagang gap of development noon between Aguinaldo Highway area and Las Piñas.

Ng binuksan ni Manny Villar ang "Friendship Routes" noong kalagitaan ng dekada 90, nagkaroon ng alternatibong daan sa lumalalang trapik sa Zapote. Dadaan sa Buhay na Tubig, Pasong Buwaya, Bahayang Pag-asa at palusot ng Queens Row papuntang Moonwalk Las Piñas. Dito na nagsimula ang pagdami ng mga establisyamento sa lugar.

Ang inaasahan ko ay ang pagtatapos ng Daang Hari papuntang Anabu para mas madali na lang papuntang Alabang.

At para naman sa trapik na Aguinaldo Highway, mayroon nang isang daanan sa pagitan ng Molino at Panapaan na ang labasan ay sa Talaba Junction sa Saint Dominic's Hospital papuntang Zapote at Coastal Road tapos ang kabilang dulo nito papuntang Daang Hari na dadaan sa Mambog, Bacoor. Sabi nila ito na daw ang C6 pero hindi pa ito nakokompirma.

Laki na nga ng pinagkaiba ng Cavite sa kinalakhan ko noon. 5 taon pa lang akong nawawala doon, para na akong isang dayuhan dahil sa dami ng pagbabago.

Laki na nga ng pinagkaiba ng Cavite sa kinalakhan ko noon. 5 taon pa lang akong nawawala doon, para na akong isang dayuhan dahil sa dami ng pagbabago.

reading this made me smile coz of the places i'm familiar with. sigh. our maid called saint dominic, sents domeneks. the good old days. hopefully, molino's development will help decongest automobile and human traffic in zapote. zapote is too saturated.

the daang hari extension to aguinaldo h-way is now passable though there are a few unpaved portions. i'm using this route to go to work in Gateway Business Park (Javalera, Gen. Trias, Cavite)

:)

Bumping this up...

Sa aaminin man natin o hindi umuunlad na nga ang Molino as evidenced by SM Supercenter, Daang Hari (na bago ipabukas yan nila Maliksi at Villar ay tanging ang pamilya lang ni Asspog at ang private army nya ang pwedeng dumaan dun), and an influx of establishments so much that I'm thinking that it could be a good candidate for it to be detached as a separate municipality in less than 10 years...dati-rati killing fields yan eh

updates on naic? my dad's hometown...

TRECE Martires City – Cavite’s proposed solid waste facility is expected to boost local economy vis-à-vis President Macapagal-Arroyo’s declaration of the province as part of the “super regions.”

May bubuksan din na access road sa Daang Hari sa New Bilibid Prison reservation connecting DH road all the way sa South Expressway . Ililipat na kasi sa Tanay , Rizal ang National Penitentiary next year so makakatulong ng malaki sa ating home province na Cavite kapag nag-open na yung access road na iyon and it will decongest the lone access ( for now ) sa Ayala Alabang .
IMHO , this access route that will be opened to connect DH road sa SLEX will make Cavite ( Bacoor area ) boom even more as magkakaroon din major land allotment sa commercial developments inside the former NBP ( once transferred to Tanay ) . Syempre , kadikit naman ng Bacoor ang NBP area so madedevelop din lalo tiyak ang Bacoor area..

^ Wow, that is really good news. :eat:

That's good news I guess.

Sa ngayon makakatulong ito sa marami lalo na at iilan ilan palang ang residente sa paligid ng Daaang Hari. :okay:

As such makatutulong yan ng malaki sa Bacoor lalo na sa susunod na meyor nito (God forbid na asawa ni Asspog ang manalo)...

this is indeed a very interesting development. sana lang wag magkaroon ng jeepney route sa Daang Hari.

From the Wikipedia entry on Cavite:

Economy

Cavite is one of the fastest growing provinces in the country due to its close proximity to Metro Manila. Many companies, such as Intel, have established manufacturing plants in numerous industrial parks.

Three SM Malls and three Robinsons malls are located in Cavite. They are the SM City Dasmariñas, SM City Bacoor, SM Supercenter Molino ), Robinsons Place Imus, Robinsons Place Dasmariñas & soon to rise Robinsons Place Tagaytay.

Really?

I'm working for Intel Philippines :-)

hi there! this is my first time to post here. It's a good thing you have a thread here for Cavite. I'm from Dasmariñas! =)

Some facts about Dasma:

The Municipality of Dasmariñas (often shortened to Dasma; Filipino: Bayan ng Dasmariñas) is a 1st class urban municipality in the province of Cavite, Philippines. It is located approximately 30 kilometers south of Manila. According to the 2000 census, it has a population of 379,520 people in 77,315 households, making it the most populous municipality in the Philippines. It has a land area of 90.1 square kilometers. Dasmariñas is part of Cavite's second congressional district. Atty. Elpidio "Pidi" Barzaga is currently serving his third and last term as the town's elected mayor. He has served since 1998.

The Economic Growth

Dasmariñas is dubbed as the Industrial, Commercial, Residential and University Town.

The nature and extent of, and significant development trends in these sectors presently obtaining inthe municipality, provides for the present high level development and potential for growh of the municipality; it's role as a leading growth municipality in these part of the province and the region is further enhanced and focused on. These multi-sectoral growth being avoided of not only of its residents, but also from other population centers, further enhanced the functional role of the municipality in relations to its influenced areas.

Industrial developments along the Governor's Drive (Carmona-Ternate Road) specifically the First Cavite Industrial Estate, the Reynold's Phils. and different industries dotting the road from Carmona and Silang boundaries to Gen. Trias as well as those at the Southeastern portion along the Aguinaldo Highway provides employment and livelihood opportunities to the local as well as adjacent municipalities labor force. Since these industries are of national or multi-national corporate capitalization and are enjoyed both on local and export marketing, the municipality is gaining both national and international reknown as an industrial and manifacturing center. Taxes are being paid by these industries help provide for the basic services and amenities needed by the government as well as the constituents of the municipality.

Commercial developments along Aguinaldo Highway from Silang to PalaPala junction particularly within areas adjacent to the Congressional Avenue shows the nature and extent of commercial activities in Dasmariñas. The presence of local commercial centers or shopping centers such as the Highway Plaza, CM Plaza and a branch of a Metro Manila based shopping center, the walter Mart which houses different local and nationwide known comercial establishments sets the trend of commercial developments in that part of the municipality. These are further enhanced by the presence of banks, financial centers and other establishments. There are also commercial establishments supportive of or are offshots of the educational and medical services being rendered by the De La Salle University Medical Center and the Dr. Jose P. Rizal National Medical Research Center. These makes the area a financial and commercial district of the municipality. The old commercial developments within the Poblacion area (Zone I, IA, II, III and IV) provides for the needs of the old town residents and the subdivision migrants on the Southern portion of the municipality. The nature of commercial activity being that of a neighborhood comercial center supports the daily needs of the population. The new location of the public market opens the municipality to the neighboring marketing population of other settlement areas. It likewise make the public market accessible to all the population both from the reselttlement areas ang the old townsite. Thus, the financial and commercial activity in the Poblacion and the Dasmariñas Central Market enhance the commercial center role of Dasmariñas.

The exodus of residential developments to the municipality both public and private makes the municipality a "residential town". Letter of Instructions No. 19 and 19-A in 1972, provides for the development of the Dasmariñas Bagong Bayan as a model community for low income and less fortunate families from Metro Manila. Presently, this resettlement area known as DBB is composed of 47 barangays. The subsequent growth of the DBB Resettlement Area has induced the location of other attendant activities and services in the municipality. Due to its proximity to Metro Manila and being within the urbanizing and development influence of the National Capital Region, the municipality is a favored location of subdivision private developers. There are about 300 residential subdivisions in Dasmariñas. Since the devolution of the function of approving residential subdivision projects to local government units, the Sangguniang Bayan had approved about 32 projects and still a quite number are waiting for approval. The proliferation of these residential subdivision is in harmony with the native population and residential areas. Shown that the living conditions in the municipality is excellent, thus, enhancing the residential role of the municipality.

Dasmariñas is a recipient of the dispersal thrusts of several universities of Metro Manila to widen their coverage and bring education closer to the people. Different know Manila based university has part up branches in the municipality, earning Dasmariñas the role of a "University Town". Foremost of which is the De La Salle University which offers medical courses and other social science and business courses and at the same time operates and manages a hospital, the DLSU Medical Center, the 1st ISO (International Standards Organization) Certified Hospital in the Philippines, catering the health need of the population. Other university and collge branches are from the Technological University of the Philippines, the Philippine Christian University, the Philippine Women's University, Emilio Aguinaldo College, St. Paul College and many others. These means that the town can service the tertiary education needs of its population as well as those of the neighboring towns and provinces.

it is long over due.. dapat matagal nang naging city yang Dasmarinas.. even Imus and Bacoor.

kumusta na kaya ang cavite city? napag iwanan talaga, very much unlike noveleta and dasma kasi ang location ng cavite city, dadayuhin mo pa talaga. sana i covert na nila ang sangley or PN into an economic zone.

kumusta na kaya ang cavite city? napag iwanan talaga, very much unlike noveleta and dasma kasi ang location ng cavite city, dadayuhin mo pa talaga. sana i covert na nila ang sangley or PN into an economic zone.

YUP SANA I CONVERT NA NILA FOR PROGRESS TO REACH THE FAR FLUNG AREAS

Kamusta na ang Imus ?

this might be of help: www.imus.gov.ph

Any pics of the provincial capitol?

any pics from Cavite???

I'm working for Intel Philippines :-)

musta ang Intel sir? i heard some "unconfirmed" news...

i heard the news too.

This summer, magaalsa-balutan na naman kami from Belair, Sta. Rosa Laguna to Vallejo, Molino Cavite! Very near SM Molino :)

Any updates pertaining to the projected completion of Coastal Extension?

Cavite Hymn :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjs7Lpkfbl4

I would neither confirm nor deny the "news" hehehe. In due time, they'll announce it.

kumusta na kaya ang cavite city? napag iwanan talaga, very much unlike noveleta and dasma kasi ang location ng cavite city, dadayuhin mo pa talaga. sana i covert na nila ang sangley or PN into an economic zone.

hi guys! first of all, i'm a new member here, live from san antonio, cavite city! :) we used to live inside Sangley Point when my dad was still in the Navy. we moved out in 2004 after my dad retired.

and fundraiser, i for one would oppose to your plan about converting Sangley or PN into an economic zone. the security that these bases provide to the city, to the region and to the country is just as important as what an economic zone can provide. sa liit ng area ng city, sa tingin ko (at ito'y opinyon ko lamang) parang magkaka-gulo. maraming taong labas-pasok, mga transients, that might turn the city's peace and order upside down. the bases complement the Navy Headquarter's duties, dahil nga ang lapit natin.

and second, i would oppose to having an SM Supercenter in the city. kahit sabihin nating grocery lang yan. kasi una, sino naman ang pupunta diyan? the same and same people. hindi tayo ganon kadaling puntahan dahil one-way-in, one-way-out ka lang. can you imagine the traffic? kung sa noveleta nga tuwing umaga traffic, mas lalo na pag nagkaroon na pa ng ganyan.

pangalawa, it would be better to let small and medium enterprises thrive instead. wais naman mga kabitenyo di ba, magaling mag-negosyo. napansin niyo na ba na nung nagtayo ng mcdo sa atin, 'namatay' ang ilang local, home-grown businesses? wala na nga tayong sinehan di ba?

tsaka, dyosko naman, sino-suffocate ba tayo ng SM? don't get me wrong i love SM (i like dasma more than bacoor), pero please naman, they should leave us some space!

at yung lupang nasa likod ng palengke, gagawing subdivision yun. project ng city government. Villa Cañacao or Villa Soledad yata ang pangalan. noon pa dapat sisimulan yan pero parang nagka-problema yata.

and some tidbits lang, yung dugtong sa Coastal Road (na ngayo'y naghihimala at hindi na ma-trapik!:lol: ) hanggang Kawit yata o Noveleta, sa may Coastal City...tapos yun sa paglipat ng provincial capital from Cavite City to Trece, nasunog kasi noon ang provincial capitol sa CC (yung city hall ngayon) kaya inilipat sa Trece (yun ang kwento sa akin...)

okay unang post ko ito dito pero ang haba na :nuts: excited lang kasi ako na maki-halubilo dito at puro tayo mga Caviteño...maraming salamat! ;)

pahabol: sa mga taga-bacoor, binabaha pa ba sa may justinville? we have a lot in luzville (inside justinville) and we were supposed to be build our house there. kaso when our family friend and would-be-neighbor-there told me na dati binaha sila hanggang tuhod sa loob ng bahay ng mismo, na-discourage tuloy sina mudra.

Aba ay ganoon baga? Kasi doon sa aming kanayunan sa Indang aba ay, pagkalapi-lapit ng Tagaytay sa amin eh!

Share ko lang experience ko.
Interesante kasi ang sa "Upland" na parte ng Cavite, nag-iiba ang tono ng pananalita. Ay kumbaga, mayoon nang tonong Batangueño dine. Aba ay kung minsan, nabibigla pa ang mga taga-kapatagan (1st and 2nd district Cavite - malapit sa Maynila) kong gayon kami magsalita ng Tagalog. :D

Pero eto, pag ako kinakausap ko ang mga friends ko sa Las Piñas noong high school na tulad nito: "Nainom ka na ba ng juice?"....mabibigla sila. Huh? "Iinomin kami ng juice?!" sabi nila. Ang ibig kong sabihin noon, "uminom ka na ba ng juice". .... :lol:

Kahit maliit na probinsya ang Cavite at ubod na pagkalapit nito sa Maynila, meron talagang "distinct" na pananalita ang mga Caviteño na iba sa taga-Maynila. :)

uy, taga-Indang ka? :) my sister went to CvSU for college.

at tama ka diyan, mapapansin mo rin na may tono na nga ang mga taga-'uplands' :D kahit nga minsan sa mga taga-imus pa lang, may tono na. pero parang malayo pa rin sila sa tono ng mga taga-Batangas. pero parang ang ganda ng pagka-sing-song ng tono. :lol:

kung ang uplands ang tono, mga taga-CC naman may "isang bes"!:nuts: napansin sa akin yun nung classmate ko nung college. taga-dasma siya, tapos nung nagku-kwento ako sabi niya, "Kabitenyo ka talaga! Kasi pag sinabi isang beses lang nangyari, sinasabi ninyo isang 'bes', pag dalawa dalawang 'beses'!" di ko naman maitanggi.:lol:

For those who are familiar with Cavite City

Given that Sangley Point no longer becomes a Philippine Naval Base, what would you most prefer it to be converted into?
A.) Commercial Area
B.) International Container Port
C.) Special Economic Zone
D.) Industrial Area
E.) Others. Please Specify ____________ (example: Domestic Airport)

Kindly Justify your answer! :)

Parang survey ang dating
di ba pwede A,B,C & E..maluwag naman..gawin parang baywalk sa seaside plus merong park.

That's good news I guess.

Sa ngayon makakatulong ito sa marami lalo na at iilan ilan palang ang residente sa paligid ng Daaang Hari. :okay:

will it affect gen trias? i went there from laguna..sabe before 2 lang daan going there..

2 naman ang bases sa cavite at may PN pa naman to provide the security? eh di ok lang pakawalan na yung sangley at ibigay sa private investors. cavite city is so small para sa dalawang bases nato. we used to live in san antonio (r.palma) din and my dad works at PN before, siempre ngayon retired na siya. malaki talaga natutulong ng economic zones (this is based from my experience here in mactan where i live now, may dalawang economic zones), pero yun nga lang, may setback din, dadami lalo ang mga tao diyan sa cavite dahil nga sa transients at pwede magkaproblema sa security, pero pwede naman siguro mamanage yan, its either we leave cavite as it is, or bigyan pa sya ng bagong catalyst for growth kasi honestly kaliit liit ng pinagbago ng cavite city for the last 10 years. the only change that i see is sumikit lang siya lalo. yung mcdonalds and some jollibee, and yeah, ano bang ginawa nila dun sa church? parang impractical ata yung dambuhalang facade.

and second, i would oppose to having an SM Supercenter in the city. kahit sabihin nating grocery lang yan. kasi una, sino naman ang pupunta diyan? the same and same people. hindi tayo ganon kadaling puntahan dahil one-way-in, one-way-out ka lang. can you imagine the traffic? kung sa noveleta nga tuwing umaga traffic, mas lalo na pag nagkaroon na pa ng ganyan.

tsaka, dyosko naman, sino-suffocate ba tayo ng SM? don't get me wrong i love SM (i like dasma more than bacoor), pero please naman, they should leave us some space!

You can't blame SM for coming and coming to your province. We all know that Cavite is one of the most highly-urbanized provinces in our country plus the fact that it has one of the highest PPP. SM wants to prosper as a business, think of that. But on the contrary, I like your point about the traffic. Maybe SM could think again if it would cause such heavy traffic there.

^ It is the most highly-urbanized province in the Philippines :yes:

^^ I've read that somewhere, too. But I didn't say that it is the most highly-urbanized province in the country 'coz I'm not sure of the credibility of my source.:)

but Sangley Point is also home to the Air Force, together they provide security not only in Cavite but in the nearby areas as well. strategic kasi ang lugar natin kaya malaki ang nasasakop niya. at about management, malaking problema talaga yan. hindi lang sa security, na mahirap punan dahil maaring di sapat ang police force to cover the task kahit magdagdag ka pa, it would strain our physical, natural and financial resources. isipin niyo na lang kung gaano karaming truck ang papasok sa city--dun pa lang talo ka na di ba. and for the record, the naval bases also provide employment to many people, just like the economic zones do. at mas mainam pa nga iyon, kasi mas matagal at mas secure ang tenure, may benefits pa.

at tungkol sa San Roque Church ayon sa mga kwento (alam mo naman ang mga Kabitenyo mahilig sa kwento), kaya raw hindi matapos-tapos yun kasi walang architect o engineer na gustong pumirma sa plan niya (either unsafe, unsound design, i'm not sure). kitang-kita mo naman kasi na ang pangit ng gagawin di ba. magtayo ka ba naman ng ganoon kalaking facade at torre sa pagkaliit-liit na lugar. hindi financial ang problema ng simbahan--sabi nila may mga nananalo sa lotto na nakapagbigay na sa simbahan.

maganda na naman kasi yung San Roque noon. kalaban lang nila talaga baha (pramis naranasan ko kung paano kami bahain noon sa st. joseph!). kaya kami nagsisimba kami sa St. Peter, kasi ang ganda ng altar niya. really quaint and nice :okay:

and to be honest, i don't see the city as being left out too far behind. the city is improving--it may not be at the pace like the industrialized towns, but it still is a nicer place to live.

PS--san kayo sa palma noon? kami malapit sa litsunan ni Eddie Yap (taon-taon, sumasarap!:nuts:)
