Type I has a dry season from November to April and a wet one for the rest of the year; Type II has no dry season, with the most rain from December to February; Type III has a short dry season; Type IV has rain spread through the year.More in the glossary

Economy, 2025Gross domestic productThe value of all the goods and services made in a place in a year: the size of its economy.

About 7 of every 100 people in Cavite lived below the poverty line in 2023 (6.7%)[23]

The PSA's survey puts it between 4.4% and 8.9%, with 95% confidence. The poverty line was ₱41,757 a person for the year.

The PSA notes: Those with CVs higher than 10% in 2023 poverty incidence among population should be used with caution.

History & Identity

Created
A politico-military jurisdiction under Spain from 1614; its civil government was set up under Act No. 138, enacted 11 June 1901, with Lubang added and the capital kept at Cavite[10, 11]

How it got its name

The name comes from kawit, hook, for the hook-shaped tongue of land on Bacoor Bay where Cavite City stands; the Spaniards wrote it Cavite. The province's own profile likewise describes its old port as shaped like a hook, kawit in Tagalog.[12, 13]

Its story

Before Spain, the tongue of land where Cavite City stands, then called Tangway, was a mooring place for Chinese junks trading around Manila Bay. In 1571 the Spaniards made it a port, fortified as Manila's first line of defence, where galleons were built and fitted.[10]

The politico-military jurisdiction of Cavite was set up in 1614 over all of today's province except Maragondon, which belonged to Mariveles until 1754. In 1660 Christian exiles brought by the Jesuits from the Moluccas settled in Maragondon and named the place Ternate, after their homeland.[10]

Friar estates covered much of Cavite, and quarrels over land fed revolts led by Luis Parang in 1828 and Eduardo Camerino in 1869. In 1872 a mutiny at the Cavite arsenal was followed by the execution of the priests José Burgos, Mariano Gómez and Jacinto Zamora.[10]

On 31 August 1896 Kawit, San Francisco de Malabon and Noveleta rose in arms; after the battles of Binakayan and Calero in November 1896, Spain held only the Cavite arsenal. On 12 June 1898 Emilio Aguinaldo proclaimed the independence of the Philippines at Kawit.[10, 14]

The Philippine Commission organized its civil government in 1901, adding the island of Lubang and keeping the capital at Cavite; Mariano Trias was its first governor under American rule. In 1903 Act No. 947 merged its 23 municipalities into 11.[11, 14, 15]
