Cavite is one of the most important places in the Philippines. It is where our national heroes fought for freedom and is the center of our independence. Its streets whisper the secrets of a nation that survived centuries of oppression and colonization—it is where we remember that we have come a long way.
Cavite should be at the top of your travel bucket list to the Philippines because of its delicious food, its unique historical sights, and most importantly its locals. Come and journey with us to the Historical Capital of the Philippines!
