must- visit places in Cavite are Taal Volcano, Corregidor Island, Taal Lake,
People’s Park in the Sky, Museo De La Salle and many more. It will be a shame
if you will not experience the Tagaytay air. Many tourist file Tagaytay on
their bucket list and even natives go back and forth just to experience the
place. Since Tagaytay is on a higher altitude, the air is cold and is usually
breezy. Not to mention that the view on

you the view of the Taal Volcano while eating your mouth watering bulalo.
As time

technology that the world brings yet kept its simplicity. Cavite launched one
of their missions: “Cavite Open for

the province’s carrying capacity to accelerate its economic growth and
development; through the formulation and implementation of a fundamentally
sound fiscal, economic and environmental policies.”
One of the
biggest improvements in Cavite is by means of transportation. Old Cavite has 2
major lanes only and is recognized to be the place of small and stiff roads.
However today they already have 4 wide lanes giving more space to cars and
easier travel time for everyone. The establishment of Cavitex is also one of
the most remarkable industrial projects launched. The travel time form Manila to
Cavite before takes 1-2 hours, but because of Cavitex the travel time was cut
to 30 minutes. Major Infrastructure projects are being pushed for implementation
and completion to complement rapid urbanization such as the R-1
Extension, Daang-Hari Road (CALA East-West Road), North-South Road, CALA
Expressway, LRT-1 Extension, Ternate-Nasugbu Road and Sangley Point Port
Development Project.
Investments
also entered Cavite and one of the biggest investments that made a hit in the
province is the real estate developments. Since Cavite is an ideal place to
live and start a family, real estate developments were built and are still
being developed today. Since Cavite is already just minutes away from the city,
many people are investing real estate properties in Cavite. A reason to add up
also is because of its cost, many affordable house and lot are being developed
in the province. The property is at Cavite rate thus giving the consumers many
more reasons to buy a property; definitely a win- win situation. Cavite took
the first place in real estate development and is continuously getting the
attention of the consumers.
Through
all the reasons, Cavite already is trending amongst the provinces in the
Philippines. They are slowly building their name in terms of tourism,
production, industrial progress and more. Many investors already partnered with
Cavite making them a province to keep an eye on. Truly Cavite is worthy to be
called the next big thing.
