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

Life & Economy

About 10 of every 100 people lived below the poverty line in 2021.
Poverty, 2021Poverty incidenceHow many of every 100 people live in families whose income is below the poverty line: what a person needs in a year for food and other basic needs, as the PSA sets it for each province. It is an estimate, from a survey or, for a town, a statistical model, so the PSA gives a range it is likely to fall in.More in the glossary
10.1% of people[22]Below the poverty line, by the PSA's estimate for every town.
Income classIncome classThe Department of Finance sorts provinces, cities and municipalities into classes by their average yearly income over recent years: 1st class has the most. It measures the local government's income, not how well off its people are.More in the glossary
1st class[5]
About 10 of every 100 people in Kawit lived below the poverty line in 2021 (10.1%)[22]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 7.8% and 12.5%, with 90% confidence.

The PSA rates this estimate's reliability as acceptable rather than high: read it as a guide.

History & Identity

Kawit's fiesta and days

Everything listed for Kawit in Now

Created
Kawit was re-created as a municipality by Act No. 1718, enacted 20 September 1907. The Act separated the former municipality of Cavite Viejo from Noveleta and renamed it Kawit.[10]

Its story

Kawit was known under Spanish rule as Cavite Viejo (Cavite el Viejo). Its church was first run by the Jesuits from 1624, and the first wooden church was built in 1638.[11]

During the Revolution the uprising spread outward from Kawit (Cavite el Viejo), Noveleta and San Francisco de Malabon, and Spanish rule in the province ended once the Binakayan and Calero battles of November 1896 were over.[12]

General Emilio Aguinaldo proclaimed Philippine independence at Kawit on 12 June 1898.[12]

In 1903 the Philippine Commission merged Cavite Viejo into Noveleta, and in 1907 it separated the two again and gave the town the name Kawit.[10, 13]
