REVIVING CAVITE'S GLORIOUS PAST

Trece Martires, Cavite, March 5, 2010 - The Cavite Centennial Committee has launched a campaign that would bring back the glorious past in the hearts and minds of the present generation.

At the forefront of the campaign is newly installed Governor Joselito Remulla. and his predecessor Ayong Maliksi. Velasco is honorary chairman of the centennial committee.

Among the committee's projects is the launch of a coffee table book "Sampung Dekada ng Kagitingan at Kaunlaran" (A Century of Valor and Progress) which details Cavite's role in the country's struggle for independence and economic prosperity.

Cavite is where Philippine Independence was declared on June 12, 1898, at the balcony of General Emilio Aguinaldo's home in Kawit. The Philippine flag, sewn by Marcela Agoncillo in Hong Kong, was unfurled. The Philippine national anthem composed by Prof. Julian Felipe of Cavite was played by the San Francisco de Malabon band.
