[旅遊景點] Cavite, philippines

Cavite is a coastal province situated approximately 9 miles (30 kilometers) south of Manila. It is composed of 20 municipalities and 3 key cities – Trece Martires City (provincial capital), Tagaytay City and Cavite City. The geography of the province varies differently, from flat and coastal in the north and west, to mountainous and hilly in the south and east. Its close proximity to the capital makes it highly urbanized especially in the low-lying municipalities of Bacoor, Imus, Dasmarinas, Kawit, Cavite City, and General Trias where various industries thrive. But in the towns south of the province, agriculture is still the main livelihood and boasts a great amount of preserved forests and wildlife. Corregidor, the former island fortress during World War II, situated at the mouth of Manila Bay is also under the jurisdiction of the province (see page on Corregidor Island).

Cavite’s main tourism magnet is its rich history being the Cradle of the 1896 Philippine Revolution and the birthplace of Philippine Independence in 1898. The name of the province came from the Latinized Tagalog word kawit meaning “hook” which is the shape of the small peninsula situated in Cavite City. During the Spanish Era, it was settled in by Spanish friars who built their estates out of the local’s lands and by Spanish dignitaries who were given royal land grants (encomiendas) by the Spanish king. A naval fort, Fort San Felipe, was erected at what is now Cavite City, in the vicinity of Sangley Point, which served as the main headquarters of the Spanish Navy in the country. During 1600s, Spanish Catholics in the small Spanish enclave of Ternate in Moluccas were evacuated and permanently resettled at what is now Ternate and Maragondon towns.TVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。! ?9 `* r# g" K/ H1 Z  D* o3 {$ c- M. s
One of the main catalysts for the Philippine Revolution occurred in Cavite when in February 1872 a revolt by workers at Fort San Felipe implicated three Filipino priests, namely Mariano Gomez, Jose Burgos and Jacinto Zamora (GomBurZa). The execution of the three priests inspired Philippine national hero and novelist Dr. Jose P. Rizal to dedicate his second novel to them, the El Filibusterismo. During the start of the Philippine Revolution, many Cavitenos rallied to the Katipunan cause led by Andres Bonifacio. Caviteno leaders like Mariano Trias and Emilio Aguinaldo led the victory of the revolution in the province. Eventually, due to its successes, the Cavitenos of the Katipunan took charge of the revolution from Andres Bonifacio and created a revolutionary government that would lead to the first republic in Asia.

On June 12, 1898, after 333 years of Spanish rule, Philippine independence was declared at Kawit, Cavite by the first Filipino president Emilio Aguinaldo. This year, the 111th Independence of the Philippines is being celebrated in the entire nation. Today, you can visit the Aguinaldo Shrine in Kawit to relive that fateful day in Philippine history. Other historical sites in the province that are worth visiting are: (1) The Bonifacio Trial House and Execution Shrine at Maragondon (2) The Tejeros Convention site at Rosario (3) The Battle of Zapote Bridge in Bacoor (4) The Battle of Alapan Monument at Imus (5) and the Battle of Binakayan Monument in Kawit.
But aside from the history, the other main tourism magnet of Cavite is Tagaytay City. With its cool climate comparable to that of Baguio City and a spectacular view of Taal Lake and Taal Volcano in neighboring Batangas province, it is the perfect alternative for those wanting peace and tranquility near Metro Manila.
If you are looking for adventure and nature in the highly urbanized province, then explore Cavite’s southeast section. For avid mountain climbers, Mt. Pico de Loro, a 664-metre mountain between the province and Batangas is the perfect challenge. On its summit lies a vertical rock formation called the Parrot’s Beak which rock climbers can ascend. Below the mountain are the coasts of Ternate town famous for its Puerto Azul Beach Resort with its white sand beaches and solitary havens which provides an oasis of comfort not far from Manila. Many beach resorts also scattered in Cavite’s coastal towns from Ternate to Kawit. Near Mt. Pico de Loro are the towns of Gen. Aguinaldo and Magallanes where in between lies the majestic Malibiclibic Falls. The falls lie below a steep ridge accessed only by a 20-minute trek through lush rainforest. Its waters gush down to a wide natural pool where tourists can swim or go rafting. tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb6 i4 H4 x: n$ H+ `2 l; Z; V

Pico de Loro’s two peaks: Perhaps the most captivating features of the mountain are the two peaks forming the ‘beak of a parrot.’ “Pico de Loro,” which is part of the Mt. Palay Palay, got its name from early Spanish explorers who noticed the beak-like feature while sailing towards the South China Sea.公仔箱論壇8 ?4 D  j- _* v. b- r. V) B# T& p

Why Not Go
At initial response, Cavite doesn’t have much difference than Metro Manila. In fact, it boasts one of the heaviest traffic jams in the country which occur everyday along Aguinaldo Highway from Dasmarinas to Bacoor. The highly urbanized and industrialized setting of the towns near border with Manila won’t get tourists attracted.

Stay away from traffic in Cavite especially in Bacoor and Imus during the early morning and late afternoon by trying a different route of entry (such as Carmona exit or Santa Rosa exit from South Superhighway or Daang Hari Boulevard from Alabang). For mountain climbers, it is not advisable to climb Mt. Pico de Loro without the assistance from local mountaineering clubs and permission from the DENR (unless you know your way around already). Avoid eating oysters and mussels sold in Cavite if there are red tide advisories for the area. Beware of fog in Tagaytay during the cold months as streets can reach zero visibility.( d" u2 y) c: J% h, v. A% V
