Exploring Cavite

  I started visiting cavite, particularly Trece Martires City since 1993. By that time, I could not imagine residing in a place that does not offer convenience. If you need something the only available place is the public market and the only modern store available is seven eleven. In 2005, We found ourselves transferring from the mega Pasig in metro manila to this quite city, we merged our warehouse and office to cut cost in office space rental in Metro manila.

I still recall having difficulty finding resto or even "turo turo" for lunch during saturdays. Weekends are most difficult times looking for a place to eat. eateries are closed as if owners are not interested to do business, we found the reason why. During the investor's night organized by the mayor, one of the city officer reported that the population of the city during weekdays is around 200 thousand, by weekend, the number decreased to 50 thousand, that is because the city population is only 50 thousand, but by weekdays,  people from neighboring places have to report to work in the city where goverment offices including capitol are located.

In a span of 3 years since we migrated, big names in business industry sprouted like mushrooms, the Mercury and Southstar drugs stores , Jolibee, chowking, Dunkin and Mr. doughnuts,Red ribbon. Banks increased, usually, there's only one ATM for the whole place, now a total of at least 6 were scathered around the city,  other establishments offering good services with airconditioning had grown. The Capitol and other offices were modernized and upgraded. New schools were established such as The New Generation International School, KRISLIZ international school. SM, Robinson Malls and Waltermart were built recently. Korean and Japanese restaurants are finding its place just nearby. The white sand beach which they call "Boracay of Cavite" was opened recently to the public, the place is exclusively used by Philippine Marines in the past. Caylabne, the world class beach hotel/resort, the world's famous Tagaytay, the home of the smallest volcano in the world is just 25 minutes away, the historical kawit and corrigedor island, the beautiful Pico de Loro mountain. International airport is around 2 to 3  hours during traffic time but 45 minutes or less on wee hours. 

Cavite as a whole has a lot to offer and that is the purpose of this blog, I want to explore it and share what I know to the world.
