The Our Lady of

the beutiful harvest. On this festival people are dancing,
singing, and selling something with a cheap prices. The

Cavite was known as the coffee capital of the
Philippines, producing the coffee needs of
Manila as well as other parts of the country.
It may have experienced difficult times over
the past decades but it doesn’t mean it
cannot regain its glorious past.There are a
lot of coffee plantation in different places in
Cavite.
Cavite had been sharing the Luzon coffee
glory with Batangas until the Cavite AA
variety made it to export and became a
world-class “in demand” origin for Robusta
and  of late, for specialty Kalaboso Barako
or Liberica.But the Philippine Coffee Board
Inc (PCBI) knows that Cavite coffee can join
the ranks of world class specialty Robustas,
just like how Sulu and Negros are doing it
lately. Sulu has become the named origin for
Specialty coffee.
 This National Shrine is situated in Kawit, Cavite. It is the
ancestral home of the first Philippine President Emilio
Aguinaldo. In this place was where the Philippine
Independence Day, also known as “Araw ng Kalayaan,” was
declared on June 12, 1898. To this day, all Filipinos annually
commemorate the Independence Day. Every year, the
Philippine flag is raised here by the top government officer as a
sign of recognizing and celebrating our country's first taste of
freedom.
 During the proclamation of the Independence, the Philippine
flag, which is personally designed by Aguinaldo, was formally
presented to the people and it was also the day that the
Philippine National Anthem was first played with marching
band.

 Emilio Agunaldo's House is really a mansion. It has a floor area

over 14,000 square feet. The building is divided into three areas
– the main house on the west side of the building, the tower
located in the center and the family building on the east. This
house was originally designed by Aguinaldo. It is made up of
wood and thatch. He had put secret ways and hiding areas for
documents and weapons.
 Since the house of Aguinaldo holds an important place to the
Filipinos' hearts, he decided to donate his home to the
Philippine government on June 12, 1963. He wanted the people
to continue the spirit of the Philippine Revolution of 1896 that
ended to the Spanish colonization of this country.
