Background: The Philippine Islands became a Spanish colony during the 16th century; they were ceded to the US in 1898 following the Spanish-American War. In 1935 the Philippines became a self-governing commonwealth. Manuel QUEZON was elected President and was tasked with preparing the country for independence after a 10-year transition. In 1942 the islands fell under Japanese occupation during WWII, and US forces and Filipinos fought together during 1944-45 to regain control. On 4 July 1946 the Philippines attained their independence. The 21-year rule of Ferdinand MARCOS ended in 1986, when a widespread popular rebellion forced him into exile and installed Corazon AQUINO as president. Her presidency was hampered by several coup attempts, which prevented a return to full political stability and economic development. Fidel RAMOS was elected president in 1992 and his administration was marked by greater stability and progress on economic reforms. In 1992, the US closed its last military bases on the islands. Joseph ESTRADA was elected president in 1998, but was succeeded by his vice-president, Gloria MACAPAGAL-ARROYO, in January 2001 after ESTRADA's stormy impeachment trial on corruption charges broke down and widespread demonstrations led to his ouster. MACAPAGAL-ARROYO was elected to a six-year term in May 2004. The Philippine Government faces threats from armed communist insurgencies and from Muslim separatists in the south.

We just went for a swim last April17, 2008 at Water Camp, Kawit Cavite with my co-workers and their family. Water Camp is one of the few decent swimming resorts in Cavite at an affordable price. Entrance fee is P180 for adults and children 1 year old and above. There were available huts, tables, rooms and villas the cheapest is P300 for a table for 6 at the food court. There were also a playground for the children to enjoy and not very far is the Fisherman's Wharf where you can fish, play billiards, sing karaoke or just plain relax. The [View Full Entry]

I had the strangest experience in Cavite, which I feel is pretty symbolic of my trip so far. Cavite was he last stop on my trip to Southern Tagalog. We where going to the Cavite Municipal Jail to visit a Pastor who is being held there as a political prison. Pastor Berlin is one of the strongest men I have ever met. He has been active his whole life advocating for pro-people change in the Philippines. He decided to go into the seminary in order to lift up the most oppressed sectors in the country with the word of God. He [View Full Entry]

We once went to a Farm Resort in Cavite, it's located in Dasmariñas, Cavite. I went there with a friend back in college, my sister and her bf. It was like just a hideaway since all of us seems to need a clean break. My friend just a bit borken hearted, me, i just needed peace, and my sister and her bf just want to get out of the house at times. So we left home around 9pm, fetch my friend and take c-5(in taguig) route to dasmariñas, drop by at a gasoline station, have our car in full tank and [View Full Entry]

We just arrived from a few days in the province/suburbs of Manila: Cavite where my family is from. Our Auntie Andy made us feel right at home and gave Jing and I a few lessons on the family tree. Our Jocson lot is actually abutts Y. Jocson St. I believe 5th generation Jocson. There is one newly built home next to my grandmothers home which is barely standing and, unbelievably, there are 6 people still living there. They are squatting there, according to my aunt. I just wonder how they survive the typhoons. Otherwise, it was great to see where all [View Full Entry]
