I saw this map when I was making a research for my daughter's homework. And I was amazed at how our little city, Trece Martirez -- which happens to be Cavite's capital, is so strategically located and smack right in the middle of Cavite province.
Usually described as a place with less than a thousand hectares in terms of land area, it is rich in history.
It was named after the thirteen martyrs of Cavite, who were executed by the Spaniards on September 12, 1896. They are:
- Maximo Inocencio
- Jose Lallana
- Eugenio Cabezas
- Maximo Gregorio
- Hugo Perez
- Severino Lapidario
- Alfonso de Ocampo
- Francisco Osorio
- Antonio de San Agustin
- Luis Aguado
- Agapito Conchu
- Victoriano Luciano
- Feliciano Cabuco
It was simply logical that the thirteen barangays in the city were also named after them.
