Cavite is called as the “Historical Capital of the Philippines” because it is the birthplace of Philippine Independence.

 

Emilio Aguinaldo became Capitan municipal of Kawit, Cavite, when he was only 26 years old, headed a revolution two months later, and assumed the presidency of the republic two months short of his 30th birthday. He died at age 95, the oldest for any Philippine president so far.
