SOCIO-ECONOMIC PHYSICAL PROFILE

1. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND Long before the coming of the Spaniards, Kawit was already a thriving settlement, and when the colonizers came, they called the settlement CAVITE EL VIEJO. It is the oldest of the three parishes established during the administration of Manila Archbishop Garcia Serrano (1618-1629). How the town got its name maybe based on the hook-shaped shoreline from Manila to Sangley Point, Cavite City. The Pilipino term for the word Hook is Kawit. The town was the first anchorage established by the Spaniards in Cavite province. It was where the Jesuits built a parish church in honor of Saint Mary Magdalene. The colonizers soon found a better place, also a part of Kawit, and developed it as site of its navy yard. This former town of Kawit is now known as Cavite City. A short distance from Cavite navy yard was a placed called TIERRA ALTA, which, because of its higher elevation, fine stream, cool climate, and rich vegetation, became a favorite vacation resort and hunting ground for Spanish conquistadores. This territory referred to by the Spaniards is now the Municipality of Noveleta, which seceded from Kawit in 1908. Beside Cavite City and Noveleta, the Municipality of Imus was also in the early days of the Spanish rule, a part of Kawit. As far back as October 1795, the people of Imus, through a Recollect Father, petitioned the Spanish government that they be permitted to secede from Kawit and to establish a separate parish. Thus, from the old settlement of Cavite el Viejo sprang Cavite City and the Municipalities of Noveleta and Imus. Kawit played a major role in the Philippine Revolution of 1896 and in the Filipino-American War. It was in this town where the Spaniards met their first major setback when Filipino insurgents, led by the towns Capitan Municipal by the name of EMILIO AGUINALDO Y FAMY, captured a contingent of

Spanish soldiers from Dalahican headquarters who where about to arrest Aguinaldo and other municipal officials suspected of being Katipuneros. The initial victory of the Katipuneros under the leadership of Aguinaldo was followed by a string of other successful battles against the Spaniards, bringing fame and glory to their young leader and laid foundation to his becoming the President of the First Philippine Republic. It was on June 12, 1898 when General Emilio Aguinaldo proclaimed the Philippine Independence on the balcony of his Mansion (The Aguinaldo Shrine). Beside Gen. Aguinaldo, this small town gave the country five other generals of the revolution, namely: Candido Tria Tirona, Crispulo Aguinaldo, Daniel Tria Tirona, Baldomero Aguinaldo and Tomas Mascardo. The history of Philippine struggle for freedom will not be complete without mentioning the prominent figures who contributed immensely to the establishment of the First Nationalist Democratic Republic in Asia. POLITICAL HISTORY

The New Municipal Hall of Kawit located at Brgy. Batong Dalig boasts of being the symbol of a resurgent community, at par with its neighbors and continually striving to be a globally competitive municipality. The well defined structural design and architectural lines characterize todays Kawit, strong in its conviction, geared up for the challenges ahead, and always ready to respond to calls for modernism. It is also a concrete
3

demonstration of Kawits rise from a struggling town to one in the forefront of innovation and progress. The old Municipal Hall will however be preserved as a testimony to the Kawiteos struggles and victories in the past. It was where the great Gen. Emilio F. Aguinaldo held office in his younger political days, aside from playing hosts to a number of notable historical episodes including the Agaw Armas, one of the first acts of heroism and courage of our forefathers. The ground floor of this old Municipal Hall is still being used as Kawit Post Office and PNP Headquarter and the Barangy Hall of Poblacion.

2. PHYSICAL AND NATURAL CHARACTERISTICS A. Location, land area and political subdivision The Municipality of Kawit is located within the Province of Cavite, Region IV-A (CALABARZON), west of the island of Luzon. It is particularly situated in the northern part of the province and is bounded by Cavite City and Bacoor Bay in the north, Municipality of Bacoor in the east, Municipality of Imus in the southeast, Municipality of Gen. Trias in the south and Municipality of Noveleta in the west. It has a distinctive hookshaped coastline and famous for its Aguinaldo Shrine.

The location of the Municipality of Kawit in the Province of Cavite It is about 25 kilometers away southwest of Manila by land and about four (4) kilometers south of Cavite City across Bacoor Bay. With The opening of the new road named Cavite Expressway or CAVITEX, travel time from Manila to Kawit will now only be 20 minutes instead of an hour and a half and will decongest Aguinaldo and Tirona Highway.

B. Topography and Slope The topography and slope of Kawit is generally flat. The nature of the topography is due to the fact that Kawit is a coastal municipality where the average land elevation is just over a meter above sea level.

C. Soil Characterization/Composition HYDROSOIL This type of soil is found in the particular portion of Binakayan near the coast and in the southern portion of Marulas. This type of soil is described as sandy in texture with small amount of clay and organic matter. The soil generally consists of submerged elements of the swamps, marine ponds, salt beds of the Bacoor Bay and vicinity. The texture of the sub-aqueous horizons ranges from sand to sandy clay. QUINGUA FINE SANDY LOAM This type of soil is found on the northwest portion of Kawit particularly in the Barangays of Sta. Isabel, Wakas II and Magdalo. The soil is typically a river deposit of sandy material. The depth of the surface soil varies according to the level of the river flood terrace. Usually it ranges from light brown to pale brown. This type of soil is most suitable for vegetable growing, particularly tomatoes, beans, cowpeas, and mangoes. GUADALUPE SOIL This type of soil is found in the majority of the Municipality such as San Sebastian, Batong Dalig, Tabon I, II, and III, Panamitan, Gahak, Wakas I, Poblacion , Kaingen and part of Binakayan. The Guadalupe clay is part of Guadalupe series, which is the continuation of the series established in Rizal province. The Guadalupe soil is underlain by volcanic materials of various degrees of disintegration and weathering. The depth of the surface soil ranges from 20 to 30 centimeters. It is very dark brown to nearly black coarse granular when dry. For this type of soil, the undisturbed soil is hard and compact, and breaks and cracks easily, rendering cultivation quite difficult. However, this soil gives minimum yield of lowland rice due to lack of moisture in the substratum. Rice plants can suffer badly during drought condition. OBANDO SAND This type of soil is found in the northeastern portion of Binakayan. The soil is sandy loam in nature and is suitable for vegetable growing.

As for the geologic characteristics, the entire Municipality is alluvium in nature. Fluviatile alluvium is made up of transported rock
7

weathering products and unconsolidated volcanic detritus. It occurs as old and new beach sands and silt deposits which normally contains clay and gravely tenses. The formational geologic boundary covers the outskirt of Kawit. There are no existing major faults in the province. D. Geo-hazard Flooding Notable observations in the years 1990-2000s were the increase frequency of occurrence of above average high tide in the coastline barangay. From the normal level of three (3) up to four (4) feet tidal level, an almost two (2) feet increase were noted in the municipality. It was also during the middle of the decade that saltwater intrusion has been observed. Water from artesian wells was no longer potable due to the increasing level of salinity and unpalatable taste. In the years 2000 up to present, there exists an abnormal climatic behavior in the municipality. Early onset of rainy season and decreased number of rainy days were likewise noted. Rainy season commenced a month earlier than usual starting on the month of May. Rainfall behavior has been observed to be intense but of short duration. More frequent surface runoff flooding and flooding aggravated by sea-level rise were also noted in the municipality. It was also during this period that strong typhoons hit the locality. Cited were typhoons Milenyo (2006) and Frank (2008) which caused significant damages to life and property. The identified major climate-change related and extreme events that occurred in the Municipality of Kawit, Cavite are discussed in details as follows: High Tide / Sea-Level Rise. Above normal sea level rise especially during the occurrence of high tide were observed along barangays close to the coastline of the Municipality of Kawit. There are four (4) barangays namely Poblacion, Kaingen, Wakas I and II that are directly affected by the rise. Some barangays on the outskirt that
8

are near the rivers experienced occasional rise during high tide. Tidal rise level during lunar cycle has increased through the years and some barangays experience the water rising from the waterways, when years before, the same levels of high tide were unnoticeable. There are about six (6) more barangays this past two (2) years that were experiencing the same level rise during high tide and much higher on rainy season. These are Barangays Tabon I, Tabon II, Gahak, Marulas, Panamitan and Magdalo (Putol). A maximum sea level rise of almost two (2) feet from normal high tide rise of 3 to 4 feet has been recorded. Eleven barangays out of 23 barangays in the Municipality of Kawit are now feeling the impacts of higher tide level. This translates to more than 30,000 people affected comprising more than 40 percent of the total population. This perceived climate-change related event has been observed to be occurring for the last five (5) years or so. It occurs almost all year round and significantly more noticeable during lunar cycle. High tide rise were observed almost throughout the entire municipality and recurs every lunar cycle and usually lasted 5 to 6 hours, from time of rising to the time of water subsidence. Storm and Flooding Storms in the past years were observed to have brought higher volume of water per unit rainfall event, higher level of flood waters and frequent overflowing of rivers. In 2000, during the centennial flood (as locally called) a recorded water level that ranged from 2 ft to almost 6 ft. in the low lying areas of the municipality was noted. But in 2006, the typhoon Milenyo has brought 3ft. to 8 ft. of heavily silted floodwaters to almost all the 23 barangays of Kawit. Compounding the flooding events is erosion and sedimentation. Flood waters and huge volume of rain waters coming from the upland areas caused erosion and scouring of river walls. It has been observed also that erosion along tributaries to the main river system contributed to large volume of soil, silt, eroded vegetation and garbage build-up along the estuaries of Kawit coastline. Erosion of protection mud dikes and fishpond

walls during flood events were observed hampering their operations and productivity. There are five (5) barangays in the municipality that are directly affected by floods every storm season. They are all located in the lowest lying areas in Kawit and include Barangays Kaingen, Poblacion, Wakas I and II and Magdalo (Putol). A big flood event occurs once in a span of five (5) years. During the occurrence of flood in these areas under low-tide condition, flood waters last up to eight (8) hours but during the high-tide condition water level rises more and lasts longer. It usually takes about 24 hours before water level subsided. The figure below shows the flood hazard map developed for the Municipality of Kawit, Cavite. It shows the extent and depth of flooding in case of a 100-year flooding event.

Saltwater Intrusion Traditionally, Kawits potable water supply greatly depended on deep well. Deep well were usually set-up using an average of 16-18 pieces of GI pipes at 20-ft. length each to yield potable water. But majority of the deep wells around the area drastically turned salty. The community artesian wells (shallow tube wells) also suffered significantly. At present, it will take 20 pieces or more 20-ft. length GI pipes to construct a deep well in the area. This has been observed for about 6 to 8 years ago. E. Climate Kawit is categorized under the Type 1 of climate classification where there are distinct wet and dry season. Rainy months are generally observed from the months of May through October with August as the peak rainy month with an average rainfall of 460 mm. The rest of the months of the year are considered dry. (Source PAGASA) Normal monthly temperature ranges from 24.0 to 31.5 degrees Centigrade. The coolest month is January while the warmest is May. Records of relative humidity shows the mean monthly relative humidity ranges from 70 to 82 percent. The prevailing wind is the east southeast ( ESE ) direction occurring during the months of February through May and October. The average wind speed is two (2) miles per hour. F. Resources 1. Water Resources Kawits territorial waters covering 612.2814 hectares as part of the Bacoor Bay is the major source of saltwater replenished by the South China Sea that generally supported fishpond and fish pen owners. For the reason that there exists an unsettled boundary dispute between Kawit and Noveleta posed a threat to their trade, these fish pen owners are held back to further engage in the business. This has been aggravated by the decreasing quality of these waters, after being silted by flashflood waters from mainland.

As multi-purpose diversion routes, the coastal roads will create vicinities that could only feasibly be used for commercial purposes. These waters are the site of an expanding coastal road projects the CAVITEX; R-1 Extension; and the Kawit-Noveleta Coastal Road. The levels of water system being used in the municipality are Level I which is the stand alone water points like deep wells and Level III piped water supply with a private water point which is being provided by MWSI. In 2011, around 92.4 % of the total households have access to improve safe water supply. 3.

POPULATION GROWTH According to the 2010 Census, the Municipality of Kawit has a total population of 78,209. Kawit experienced its highest growth rate during the period from 1990 to 1995 at 3.87 %. The growth rate of the Municipality from 1995 to 2000 dropped tremendously to 2.16 % which was lower than the national growth rate then of 2.36 % per annum. It however tagged behind the provincial growth rate, which shot up to a high of 5.45 %. The succeeding 7 years, from 2000 to 2007 saw a sudden increase growth rate for the Municipality at 2.81 % but still falling behind the provincial growth at 4.59% but higher than the national growth rate at 2.04%. Based on 2000 and 2010 Census of Population, the projected population for the Year 2011 is 79,970 at 2.23% growth rate. The growth of Kawit in 2011s was reflective of the growth surge experienced and being experienced by Cavite due to its established direction as part of the CALABARZON. The Table 3.1 below shows the comparative growth rate of Kawit, Cavite.

3.1.3 Population Distribution Kawits population is concentrated in 8 barangays situated in Binakayan namely: Manggahan-Lawin, Pulborista, Congbalay-Legaspi, Aplaya, SamalaMarquez, Bisita-Balsahan which consists of 41.16% of the total projected population. Tramo-Bantayan and Kanluran-Lola Neneng and this is also where the Central Business District ( CBD ) is located. Aside from barangays located in Binakayan, the most populous barangay as of 2011 Projected Population is Toclong. This is primarily due to the increase of dwellers in the newly opened subdivisions. Based on land area distribution, Toclong has the largest area which then becomes the target of real estate developer in the municipality. As of today, Toclong has a total of 9 subdivisions and this includes the Municipal Housing Project. The significant contribution of Binakayan, Panamitan, Tabon I, Putol and Sta. Isabel to the total population of Kawit may be attributed to the concentration of various commercial establishments, major institutions and the public market in these areas. These barangays are also traversed by the two (2) major thoroughfare of Kawit, the Tirona Highway and Centennial Road upon which public transport vehicles journey daily. San Sebastian and Poblacion and San Sebastian post the lowest population at 897 and 932 respectively. The small population of Poblacion is attributed mainly to the use of about 93 % of its 97.58 has. land area by marine ponds. 3.1.3.1 Total Population by Barangay

Based on the projected population for the Year 2011 (as shown onTable 3.2) the municipality has a total population of 79,970. Brgy. Toclong, TramoBantayan and Samala-Marquez post the highest population, comprising 10.44%, 7.75% and 6.32% respectively of the total population of the municipality. Brgy. San Sebastian and Poblacion register the lowest population at 1.12% and 1.17% of the total Kawits population.

Table 4.6 shows that for SY 2011-2012, the public high school particularly Binakayan National High School fell below the standard ratio of one classroom per 45 students. Due to high number of enrollees in this school there is a shortage of around 24 classrooms. To address the problem, the school administration instituted the double shifting method as a response to the lack of classroom and ballooning pupil-classroom ratio. In this scheme, classroom will be used twice a day by two classes, effectively cutting into half the classes to accommodate more pupils.

4.1.2 Tertiary Education As a society, the Filipino people put much premium on education as their means to better their lives. Education is generally viewed as the great equalizer of opportunities. Unfortunately, there is no tertiary education being offered in the municipality. A vital component in a societys development is its youths education, particularly the tertiary education institutions that would offer low-cost collegiate courses and vocational/skills/special studies. This is essential and would play an important factor for Kawits rapid development and progress. There exists a need to attract and invite expanding Metro Manila schools to build and operate in our municipality. 4.2 HEALTH AND SANITATION

4.2.1 Health Resources 4.2.1.1 Health Personnel-Population Ratio

In order for any municipal health center to function effectively and efficiently, theres a need to maintain a well trained, motivated and well functioning workforce towards achieving a goal of improving the health of the populace. Considering the standard ratio of 1:20,000 for doctors - population and total projected population for the Year 2011 of 79,970, there is an existing personnel gap of three (3) medical doctors. There is only one (1) medical technologist and 12 midwives to attend the needs of the whole populace. Based on the standard ratio for midwife and medical technologist population of 1:5,000 and 1:40,000 respectively, thus there exists a personnel gap of four (4) midwives and one (1) medical technologist. Since there are only twelve (12) midwives for the twenty three (23) barangays, each midwife serves two or more barangays. Barangay Health Workers (BHW) are tapped to help and assist medical health personnel in rendering primary health care services such as maternal, newborn and child health.

HEALTH STATUS INDICATORS

The Crude Birth Rate and Death Rate are statistical values that can be utilized to measure the growth or decline of a population. These are both measured by the rate of births or deaths respectively among a population of 1000. The total live birth in 2011 is 841 or Crude Birth Rate (CBR) of 10.52 per 1000 population. (Table 4.8) The total number of deaths registered at 344 or Crude Death Rate (CDR) of 4.30 per 1000 population. Infant Mortality Rate is the number of newborns dying undera year of age divided by the total love births during the year. The total number of infant death registered in 2011 is eight (8) thus the Infant Mortality rate (IMR) is 9.51 per 1000 live birth. No record of maternal death was registered in the municipality. The low Infant Mortality Rate and Zero Maternal date Rate is an

Through the years, the family has been the pivotal institution around which visually all societies have derived their strength and forced their future. The Philippine government recognizes the importance of strengthening the family and has passed several constitutional and legislative provision to support the family, as the basic unit of society. Inadequacies in family income translate to other inadequacies in meeting the basic needs for human survival, as that for safe water, food, clothing, shelter, basic education and medical care. Thus the Department of Social Welfare and
44

Development was mandated to develop and implement a comprehensive program of social welfare services to facilitate the integration of the most disadvantaged and distressed Filipinos into the main stream of society.

Since criminality continues to pose a serious threat to peace and order and public safety in our country. The fight against criminality, lawlessness, illegal armed groups, drug traffickers/pushers requires the maximum commitment not only of those in the law enforcement service, but just as importantly, the barangay officials and the concerned citizens of the private sectors. Thus, barangay government unit has been encouraged and tapped to support the military and the police by collecting intelligence information, giving early warnings, conducting ronda and similar neighborhood activities and helping in providing public information and supporting community development projects. Barangay is the basic of smallest socio-political area of governance in the country. A Barangay Tanod is a local volunteer who has been deputized to carry out basic security functions under the auspice of the barangay captain for their respective barangay. This is likely to include basic police functions for arrest, traffic control and the maintenance of peace and order and public safety. As of 2011, there are about 348 barangay tanods assigned in the 23 barangays of the municipality. Table ____)

FIRE PROTECTION AND PREVENTION The Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) is mandated by law to establish and maintain in every municipality a Fire Station complete with personnel and firefighting equipment. There are two (2) fire stations in the municipality located in Brgy. Magdalo (Putol) and Binakayan. These stations are manned by one (1) Fire Officer and nine (9) non-officers personnel. As mandated, every fire station is divided into two (2) sections the Administrative and Operations Section in order to cope up with its mission To Prevent and Suppress Destructive Fires. To augment the need for additional manpower, a total of ten (10) fire aides from the municipality are hired to strengthen the firefighter force. The ideal ratio of fire fighters is 1:2,000 inhabitants; there is an inadequacy of 20 firefighters to attend to the public safety services for the growing population of 79,970 in 2011. As of 2011, the municipality has two (2) fire trucks which are both on serviceable status. Considering the total number of commercial establishments registered in 2011 which is about 1,700 and residential houses and the increase in the number of subdivisions, there is a need of an additional two (2) fire trucks to meet the standard ratio and to efficiently serve the community.

5. ECONOMIC SECTOR 5.1 AGRICULTURE 5.1.1 Agricultural Production 5.1.1.1 Crop Production and Land Utilization by type As of 2011, almost 66% (1,150.86 hectares) of the total land area is classified as agricultural land. Out of the total agricultural land area, only about 28.24% (325 has.) is allocated to rice production, mongo 0.27% ( 3.0 has.), fruits and vegetables 0.48% (5.50 has.), 15% (164.1 has.) is used for fishponds and salt beds. However, only 43 percent of the cropland is actually being utilized for crop production and the remaining 57 percent is either idle or unproductive. There are about 148 farmers who are into rice, corn and other vegetable production. Rice is the major agricultural crop in the area. Annually it yielded an average harvest of 56.875 metric tons. Rice is usually grown two times a year. Crops and vegetables are also raised. Irrigation determined to a large extent
58

the number of cropping seasons per year, however some agricultural land are rain fed. The municipality produces 61 metric tons of assorted fruits and vegetables. 5.1.1.2 Livestock and Poultry Production Livestock and poultry production is also being done by some 3,000 farmers and entrepreneur although can only be categorized under backyard raising scale. Common livestock production includes chicken, cattle, carabao, duck and swine. 5.1.1.3 Fisheries and Aquaculture Another major economic activity in Kawit is fishpond/fishery operations. This includes production of shrimps, sugpo and bangus. Fishponds are found along the coastal and estuarine zone of the municipality. In 2011, average total fishery production yield was estimated at 4 metric tons of bangus per hectare and 3.2 metric tones of sugpo per hectare. Produce are directly sold to consumers / middlemen of adjacent municipalities and Metro manila. Some fisher folks are also involved in mussel and oyster gathering. Other fishery-based products produced in the municipality are mussel chips, dried fish, shrimp paste and smoked fish. 5.1.2 Support systems 5.1.2.1 Physical Infrastructure There is an urgent need for the maintenance of the farm to market roads and the existing irrigation canal. Industrial crops such as coconut, coffee and cacao, citrus and pineapple which cover more than one-third of Cavites total land area are noticeably absent in the municipality. The absence of industrial crops in the municipality can be explained by its soil types as mentioned in Section 2.c (Soil and Geologic Characteristics). The Guadalupe and Quingua Fine Sandy Loam are predominant in the barangays of Kawit. These soil types are not highly suitable for growing industrial crops. Although rice, corn and other vegetables can be grown in these soil types, soil productivity cannot be maximized due to the sandy and clayish contents of the soil. As indicated by the 90cavans yield per hectare of irrigated riceland in Kawit, soil productivity has been hampered, as compared to the national average yield for irrigated ricelands of 120 cavans
59

per hectare/harvest. This means that cultivated rice lands in Kawit are almost 25% less productive, making crop production less profitable if not unprofitable for the farmers. 5.1.2.2 Credit and Finance Farmers are given loans for their agriculture production needs such as pesticides and fertilizers. 5.1.2.3 Agriculture and Forest Support Program and Technical Assistance The Municipal Agriculture Office renders various technical and support services to farmers. The lack of irrigation facilities and agricultural support and credit services are the major factors for farmers and landowners to look into other sources of livelihood. Hence, the past years saw a decline in the value of agricultural land and the gradual shift to residential land uses.

The opening of the Centennial Road (Soriano Road or CEPZA Road) in 2009 as the major thoroughfare of Kawit introduced more commercial establishments. Very notable is the new Kartini Hotel along Centennial Road of Barangay Gahak. Along the same strip in Barangays Tabon, Batong-Dalig, and Putol, more and more investors in the restaurant industry (night-out-spots) started to pour in.
64

However, those business establishments in the SERVICES TRADE along the former major thoroughfare Tirona Hi-way (National Road) from Malamok Bridge up to Tabon-Poblacion junction have been severely affected by that alteration. They were constrained to cut down their business investments, others could not even afford to pay up their taxes due the Kawits Business Licensing Office. Hence, the significant decline as indicated in the table. Most notable is the indefinite shutdown of the famous Josephine;s Restaurant. Those in the retail trade like stores, bakeries, gift shops and the like, have been affected as well. The strategy to counterbalance the effect is to tap Barangay officials of the affected areas and find other marketable but more profitable merchandise, or change the business activity by which to engage with.

5.2.3 External and Internal Factors affecting Commerce and trade There are lots of factors that greatly affect commercial trade in the municipality. One of the foremost reason is the absence of a Revised Municipal Tax Code. Fortunately in the beginning of the Year 2012, the municipality was able to come up with the Revised Tax Code. It took the municipality 10 years before the said revision. There is also the lack of a monitoring team from Barangay Officials that have been tapped to investigate or discover business establishments in their area of responsibility, that the count of delinquent establishments, and/or unregistered, decreased. 5.3 INDUSTRY 5.3.1 Inventory of Industries by Type For the past 5 years (2007-2011), there are only 3 industrial firms existing in the municipality namely R.M. Handog Merchandising, A.M. Rieta Chemicals Trading and Caimol Marketing Inc. 5.3.2 Growth Trend 5.3.3 Support Facilities

5.4 TOURISM One of the foremost and most important industries in the country, that needs sustenance and assistance, is the Tourism Industry. It generates employment and encourages the growth of small and medium industries that form the backbone of our economy. Tourism is an effective vehicle for cultural awareness and historical consciousness. And because Kawit has a rich historical background and cultural heritage, the Municipal Government has directed its thrust for tourism development by way of restoring and preserving some of its significant tourist attractions that projects the Municipalitys cultural heritage from the historical past. In the process, tourism will help improve the municipalitys economy and it will make the citizenry cognizant of the valuable history and more importantly give it a sense of pride in its heritage. 5.4.1 Inventory of Tourism Facilities One of the foremost and most important industries in the country, that needs sustenance and assistance, is the Tourism Industry.

Existing and Potential Tourism Area Historical landmarks all over Kawit weigh the most in current Tourists Arrival quantity. Foremost is the Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo Shrine which features the vast Freedom Park in Barangay Kaingen; seconded by the Battle of Binakayan Site in
72

Barangay Pulvorista-Bianakayan; and the Baldomero Aguinaldo Shrine in Bisita St., Binakayan. Volume of tourists is greater for students who are Philippine History enthusiasts. The density of Local and Foreign Tourists account for those regular visits to that most famous cultural landmark in Kawit The Kawit Roman Catholic Church (or the St. Mary Magdalene Parish Church) which was built in 1817 by Spanish priests, partially destroyed during the World War II bombings, and at the opening of the second millennium restored to its original greatness and grandeur.
