A Trip to Cavite

      “Ito ang istorya ko, kung san ako lumake, sa makasaysayang bayan ng KABITE
dito marami ang, mga katulad ko, lahing matatapang at dugong matatalino . . . “

      Have you heard this song? Ito ‘yung Cavite Rap. Sabi dito, “ dito marami ang, mga katulad ko, lahing matatapang at dugong matatalino.” Tama! At bukod dito, marami din pasyalan at tambayan sa lugar na ito ang dinadayo ng nakararami.

       We were born at Cavite. Dito kami lumaki at heto naman ang kwento namin. Isang araw. . .

Fourth year high school ako noon ng magkaroon ang school namin ng educational trip around Cavite. Sabi ng mga kaklase ko, bakit daw sa Cavite lang? Hindi daw ba puedeng sa iba naman. Kaya ganun, syempre, kung dito ka isinilang, kaysa naman sa makarating ka nga sa Laguna, Bulacan, Subic, Palawan, Baguio, Singapore, America o Mars, wala ka naman alam about sa pinagmulan mo.

Aguinaldo’s Shrine

            Ito ‘yung bahay ni Emilio Aguinaldo sa Kawit, Cavite kung saan niproklama ang kalayaan noong Hunyo 12, 1898 wherein dito unang iwinagayway ang bandila ng Pilipinas kasabay ng pag-awit ng pambansang awit. Hindi ba’t very historical? Dahil din dito, ayun, non working holiday sa ganitong petsa. Yes! (Salamat sa kaibigan na nagdonate ng pictures.)

Paradizoo

            Paradizoo is a combination of farm and zoo, located in Mendez, Cavite – a few minutes drive from Tagaytay City proper. Animals for livestock and vegetables are found here. Try mo magharvest ng veggie,

Kung sawa ka na sa mala-rotten egg na hangin sa Maynila,  try mo naman ‘to. Nang minsan kaming naglakawatsa sa Tagaytay. . .

Picnic Grove

          Sa Tagaytay City pa din ito (at kelan lang nung nagpunta kami dito). From the word itself, “picnic”, d’yan tayo magpipicnic. Hahaha! At the Tagaytay Picnic Grove, you may also go horseback riding, go shopping for fruits and souvenirs, try the zip line and cable car, and look at the Taal Volcano from the view deck.

         

As you enter Picnic Grove, you

 will see the view of Taal

Volcano.

People’s Park in the Sky

            According to PinoyBlogoSphere, “Originally designed to be the presidential guest house of former president Ferdinand Marcos, this complex was not completed. It is, however, now open to the public as a vantage area for viewing a 360 degree profile of Taal Volcano.”

            Trip: Sa halagang 15php, pwede mo na i-enjoy ang scenery. Masdan ang Taal Volcano and small towns in Batangas. Ganda! Try mo din iuwi ‘yung malalaking bato para may souvenirs. Hahaha!

SA INDANG, CAVITE

 Dahil taga-Indang ang isa sa amin, hindi dapat ito mawala sa usapan. J Historical ang lugar na ‘to sabi din ng prof naming sa History.

Though, Indang is a small municipality, it is starting to be developed naman. There are resorts na dinadayo ng madla kapag summer season at ng BSCS kapag end na ng sem. (hahaha!) At, tententenen… ang CvSU main campus, dito matatagpuan.
