TALAMBUHAY NI TABOK DILAG

Ang nilalaman nang artikulong ito ay halaw sa "profile" ni Councilor Dilag sa kanyang "Friendster Account"

literal na Anak-Mahirap ang noo'y batang si Remigio Gatdula Dilag na mas kilala sa tawag na "Tabok". nguni't sa kabila ng kahirapa'y laging nasa puso't isipan niya ang makatapos ng pag-aaral na pinanghahawakan ang prinsipyong "hindi hadlang ang kahirapan sa pagtupad ng mga pangarap"..Kaya, namasukan siyang construction worker, tricycle driver, magsasaka, tindero sa palengke, matadero at madami pang iba na sinabayan niya ng pag-aaral o pagiging working student...Nang makatapos ng kolehiyo'y naging Market Inspector ng Trece. Ang Tabok na dati'y isang tahimik, simple,mahusay makisama, mapagkumbaba pero may lalim ang angking katalinuhan ay may itinatago palang kahusayang sa liderato bilang politiko...Ang binhi ng napaka-epektibong liderato ni Tabok ay nabungkal nang manalong kapitan noong 1989, nadiligan nang maging ABC President, yumabong nang maging Konsehal sa Sangguniang Panlungsod ng Trece..at sa kanyang panghuling termino'y nahitik sa bunga nang maging CCL President at naging Ex-Officio Provincial Board Member...Ika nga'y nararapat na ang mabungang liderato ni Tabok na siksik at liglig na binhi ng karunungan at karanasan ay kailangan nang lubusang mapakinabangan na ng mamamayang Treceño...Ang Liderato ni Tabok na hinubog at pinanday ng may 20 taon na dire-diretsong panunungkulan sa pamahalaan, ito ang isang napakalaking garantiya na magigiya niya ang Trece Martires sa ibayo pang kaunlaran pagdating ng tamang panahon, lalo na kung magiging tama ang desisyon ng taumbayan....Dahil wika nga nila'y, "mabuting pinunong bayan ang may gawa'y mamamayan...mabuting mamamayan ang may gawa'y pinunong bayan."

ANG VISION NI TABOK SA 2020

Makilala at magningning sa buong mundo ang Trece Martires City , ito ang isa nangungunang misyon at bisyon ni Tabok Dilag para sa ating minamahal na Inang Lungsod.
Isa na rito ang pagpagawa ng hahangaan at modernong gusali para sa Pamahalaang Panlungsod tulad ng city hall, police headquarter, health center, sport complex na international ang standard, PESO Office, fire department at marami pang iba.
Dahil kahanga-hanga ang disenyo at kalidad ng mga gusali kaya’t kung sakaling may mga dayuhang mapupunta ng Cavite at hindi nila makikita at makapagpakuha ng litrato sa mga gusaling ito’y para na rin silang hindi nakarating sa Cavite o baka masabi pang para silang hindi napapunta ng Pilipinas.
Siguradong magiging Tourist Destination ang Trece kung saa’y lilikha ito ng mga trabaho’t hanapbuhay sa ating mga pangkaraniwang mamamayan habang tiyak na sisigla at lalago ang mga negosyo at kalakalan. Ang mga proyektong pang-imprastrakturang ito’y bahagi ng “VISION 2020″ na magiging Dangal ng mga Treceño (Pride of Treceños) na maipagmamalaki nating lahat saan man tayo naroroon…sa loob at labas ng Cavite..lalo kapag tayo’y nasa labas ng Pilipinas.

Tanza

Brief History

The name Tanza, according to popular belief, may have originated from the word santa (holy). The historical roots of Tanza can be traced to the municipality, then called San Francisco de Malabon, of General Trias. Tanza, then known as Estancia, was a strip of land in San Francisco de Malabon. The town was officially named Sta. Cruz de Malabon in 1770, due to the devotion of the natives to the Holy Cross, which was then popularly venerated and considered the patron of the inhabitants. Sta. Cruz de Malabon became an independent municipality in 1910 by virtue of a resolution passed by the municipal council of San Francisco de Malabon. It may be of interest to mention that the municipal president of the new municipality and members of the municipal council were then chosen by acclamation. The name was changed to Tanza in 1914 by virtue of Act No. 2390 introduced by Cavite Representative Florentino Joya (1912-1916). The most outstanding revolutionary figure of Tanza was Felipe Calderon, author of the Malolos Constitution. General Emilio Aguinaldo took his oath as President of the Philippine Revolutionary Government on March 23, 1896 in Tanza Holy Cross Church along Sta. Cruz Street, Tanza.

Imus

Brief History:


There are four versions as to the origin of the name of Imus. One states that it is a Tagalog word meaning "a piece of land slicing into the junction of two rivers". The second says that it came from the latin word "infimus", meaning lowland. The third is a legend, which discloses that the name came from the word centimos. The last late tells that it came from a young mother's lullabye called "Limos". Imus was originally a part of the municipality of Cavite el Viejo (now Kawit). The people had to depend on the visita or periodic visits of the parish priest from the jesuit parish of Cavite el Viejo. The Augustinian Recollects arrived in 1616 to Imus and established a convent. They constructed the church that was to become the Cathedral of Imus, a magnificent and imposing edifice with an ornate facade, impressive belfry and an interior drawn to baroque perfection. Recollect Father Pedro de San Buenaventura petitioned the government, in 1774, to convert the area into an independent municipality. The request was granted on October 3, 1795. President Ferdinand E. Marcos issued on June 11, 1977 the Presidential Decree No. 1163 relocating the provincial Capital from Trece Martires City to this town. Imus remains the capital of the Province, although the seat of the Provincial Government has been transferred back to Trece Martires in 1979.

General Trias ( GenTri )

Brief History:

The town was founded on December 13, 1748 and was originally named San Francisco after its patron saint, St. Francis of Assisi . The municipality was then made of its present area plus those of the municipalities of Tanza, Rosario and Noveleta. General Mariano Trias y Closas, in whose honor the town was named, was the vice-president of the First Revolutionary Government and of the Malolos Republic, twice member of the Aguinaldo revolutionary cabinet and twice governor of Cavite. San Francisco de Malabon was considered the cradle of Revolution in Cavite for it was the "First Cry of Cavite" was heard when the town's tribunal was captured by Filipino revolutionists led by General Mariano Trias, Diego Mojica and Nicolas Portilla on August 31, 1896. It was in Tejero, a former sitio and now one of the 33 barangays of General Trias, where the Tejeros Convention was held March 22, 1897. The Revolutionary Government of the First Philippine Republic, which elected General Emilio Aguinaldo as president, was established in the convention. Professor Julian Felipe, composer of the country's national anthem, is another distinguished son of the municipality of General Trias. Legislative Act No. 2390 was passed on February 24, 1920 changing San Francisco de Malabon to Malabon. The name Malabon was either coined from labong (bamboo shoot) or mayabong (with a lot of branches), which refers to the trees and other plants that abounded in the area. The name was finally changed to General Trias , under the law intoduced by Rep. Emilio P.Virata, a native of the town. Genral Trias was reclassified on July, 1996 as a first class municipality form fourth class municipality.

General Mariano Alvarez ( GMA )

Brief History:


The municipality is named in honor of General Mariano Alvarez, the captain municipal of Noveleta when the Philippine Revolution broke out in August 1896. Alvarez led the assault on the Spanish garrison in Noveleta and captured the town's tribunal or municipal building on August 31, 1896, several days after the "Cry of Pugad Lawin". He was the first president and founder of the Magdiwang Council. President Carlos P. Garcia authorized the national government to purchase the barren land of General Mariano Alvarez in September 1961 from 10 different owners at a cost of P1,600,500.00 for the relocation of squatters, fire and flood victims from Manila and suburbs. Parliamentary Bill No. 631 was introduced in the Batasang Pambansa seeking the creation of the municipality of General Mariano Alvarez. Batas Pambansa Bilang 76 was approved on June 13, 1980 and a plebiscite was held on January 10, 1981 which ratified the law creating the new town. The barrios of San Juan and San Gabriel and a portion of Barangay Cabilang Baybay were declared through Proclamation No. 2033, in March 1986, as resettlement areas for the urban poor from the railways of Manila, Makati and Pasay and Quezon Memorial Park in Quezon City incorporating the said places into the new municipality of General Mariano Alvarez.

Dasmariñas

Brief History:

Originally a part of Imus, the town was converted into an independent municipality in 1868 and was named Perez-Dasmariñas. During the Filipino revolution against the Spaniards, General Emilio Aguinaldo and his elder brother Crispulo fought valiantly against the Spanish forces in a seasaw battle lasting from March 7 to 24, 1897 in Pasong Santol of barrio Salitran, Dasmariñas. After 37 years of independence, it was reverted to Imus after a law was passed reducing the existing 22 municipalities of Cavite to 9. In 1917, Perez-Dasmariñas was again made an independent municipality. The provincial governor then of Cavite, Antero S. Soriano, convened with the local leaders and all agreed to omit "Perez" from the municipality's name. Placido Campos, popularly called Kapitan Idong and one of the outstanding sons of the Revolution, was made municipal president.

Carmona

Brief History:

Carmona, a former barrio of Silang, was known as "Latag", a Tagalog word which means plain due to the vastness of the plains in the area. The topography of Carmona is generally flat to strongly rolling or sloping. Barrio "Latag" was separated from its mother town, Silang, by virtue of a Royal Decree issued by the King of Spain through Govenor-General Fernando de Norzagaray on February 20, 1857. It was so-named as a sign of its people's gratitude to the Spanish officials who worked for the separation of Carmona from its mother town. The name Carmona could have been that of a town in the province of Seville, Spain. The communal lands were sold in a public auction in 1872 after securing the independence of Carmona. The agricultural lands, later on,were given to farmers through a lottery known as "sorteo", which was hled every 3 years and is practiced up to this day. Industrialization that began is the late eigthies brought about tremendous changes in the lives of the people of Carmona.

Trece Martirez City - Overview

FACADE VIEW OF CITY HALL

Trece Martires City used to be the largest, remotest and one of the oldest barrios in Cavite. The City was formerly a barrio of Tanza and was most probably known then as "Quinta" or "Quintana". It was re-named after the thirteen Caviteños who were executed by the Spaniards on September 12, 1896 shortly after the outbreak of the Philippine Revolution. Development is basically agricultural with the land subdivided into cattle ranches and sugar farms. Honorable Justiniano S. Montano and Honorable Jose T. Cajulis jointly prepared House Bill No. 1795. The said House Bill became Republic Act No. 981. President Ramon Magsaysay, in May 24, 1954, approved Republic Act No. 981 known as the "Charter of Trece Martires City" which also provides for the transfer of the capital of Cavite Province from Cavite City to Trece Martires City. It changed the tempo of development and urbanization in the area. The charter of Trece Martires City originally provided that the Provincial Governor should be the ex-officio city mayor. Honorable Dominador Mangubat, the incumbent governor then, thus became the first chief executive of the new city. The provincial capitol was formally inaugurated on January 2, 1956, the day Governor Delfin N. Montano was sworn into office. President Ferdinand E. Marcos signed, on June 11, 1977, Presidential Decree No. 1163 relocating the capital and seat of government from Trece Martires City to Imus. Governor Juanito R. Remulla requested Marcos, in September 1979, to transfer the Provincial Capitol back to the City of Trece Martires. President Corazon C. Aquino approved on March 31, 1992 Republic Act 7325, amending the charter of the City of Trece Martires. The amendment provided for the first local elections in the city.
