It’s that time of the year where the Philippines celebrates a long and festive season. Everyone is busy getting their Christmas shopping done. There are a few sights and sounds in nearby areas where we can feel the true spirit of a Filipino Christmas, especially with our loved ones.
Christmas has always been a part of the Filipino tradition and culture and a differently better way to celebrate the holidays is by visiting some of the most historic sites in the country with your friends and family. Kawit in Cavite is one of the most sought-after historical sites in the country today and it is one that you should visit this Christmas Season.
Kawit, Cavite is home to some of the most historic sites in the Philippines. This is where the Aguinaldo Shrine is situated wherein the Philippine flag that we know of today was first waved publicly announcing our Independence by the first Filipino President Emilio Aguinaldo. There’s also a lot to learn about our first president and how he has lived his life and times during the revolution era. Beyond the Shrine also are other sights to see including the "Museo ni Baldomero Aguinaldo" hailed towards the cousin of Emilio Aguinaldo and grandfather of Cesar Virata who as a prime minister in the 1980s.
Kawit also boasts rich crafts and delicacies including the Pandayan or the local blacksmithing shop. Blacksmithing is an endangered craft that needs to be promoted and preserved. The local Pandayan is still active and you can still buy handcrafted knives and bolos made the same way during the Revolutionary era.
Kawit celebrates the Christmas season through a spectacular display of lights at the Aguinaldo Shrine and Freedom Park. The Christmas lighting event was held last December 14, 2019. A fireworks display and lighting of the Christmas lights at the Freedom Park was also held.
