Trece Martires ([ˈtɾɛː.sɛ ˌmaːɾ.tɪˈɾɛs]), officially the City of Trece Martires (Filipino: Lungsod ng Trece Martires), is a component city and de facto capital city of the province of Cavite, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 210,503 people.[3]

The city was the provincial capital of Cavite until President Ferdinand Marcos transferred it to Imus on June 11, 1977. Despite the capital's relocation, the city still hosts the majority of the offices of the provincial government and some national-level agencies.

Etymology

[edit]

Trece Martires, which is Spanish for "thirteen martyrs", is named after the Thirteen Martyrs of Cavite—a group of prominent Caviteños convicted of rebellion and executed by the Spanish colonial government on September 12, 1896, in Cavite Puerto (present-day Cavite City) during the Philippine Revolution.[5]

History

[edit]

Township

[edit]

Trece Martires started as one of the largest and most remote barrios of Cavite. Originally named Quinta or Quintana, it was part of the municipality of Tanza. The land was basically agricultural subdivided into cattle ranches and sugar farms, with less than 1,000 hectares, at the intersection of the present Tanza–Trece Martires–Indang Road (Tanza–Trece Martires Road / Trece Martires–Indang Road) and the Naic–Dasmariñas Road (now part of Governor's Drive).[6][7]

Cityhood

[edit]

The city was established on May 24, 1954, under Republic Act No. 981 ("The Charter of Trece Martires City") as approved by President Ramon Magsaysay. The Republic Act also transferred the provincial seat of government from Cavite City to Trece Martires.[7] The original bill, House Bill 1795, was authored by Congressman Jose T. Cajulis (1954–1957) and Senator Justiniano S. Montano (1949–1956).

Under the city charter, the Governor of Cavite is ex-officio mayor of Trece Martires; then-Governor Dominador Mangubat was installed as the city's first chief executive. On January 2, 1956, the provincial capital was formally inaugurated, the same day when Delfin N. Montano (the son of former Senator Justiniano Montano) was sworn into office as the new governor. He served in both offices from 1956 to 1971.[6]

On June 22, 1957, the original act was amended by Republic Act No. 1912 increasing its territory to 3,917 hectares (39,170,000 m2), more or less. Consequently, the municipalities of Indang and General Trias had to yield parts of their respective areas to this territorial expansion.[8]

The provincial-local power company was established in 1957, as the Cavite Electricity Distribution Authority.[9] The company would later also manage communications infrastructure.[10]

The city high school was established in 1966, becoming nationalized later in 1983.

1970s to 1990s

[edit]

On June 11, 1977, President Ferdinand Marcos signed Presidential Decree No. 1163, relocating the capital and seat of government of Cavite from Trece Martires to the municipality of Imus, a fact that remains true up to now.[11] Cavite Governor Juanito Remulla requested Marcos in September 1979 to transfer the capital back to the city, but his request was denied. However, the city still hosts majority of provincial and national-level agency offices, making it the de facto capital of Cavite.

Since establishment, the city never elected its own mayor. In January 1988, the city attempted to elect its own local officials to run the affairs of the city and ease the burden of the ex-officio city officials. However, it was denied by the Supreme Court Resolution dated January 12, 1988.[12]

In the 1990 Census, the city breached 15,000 residents, almost double the last number from the previous census in 1980.

On March 31, 1992, President Corazon Aquino signed Republic Act No. 7325, which amended the charter of Trece Martires, allowing the city to vote their own local officials for the first time. Prudencio Panganiban became Trece Martires' first mayor-elect.[13]

The local water district was created in 1997.[14]

21st Century

[edit]

Sherwood Hills Golf Club started construction in 1997 and was opened to members in 1998.[15] It is a major landholder in the city. It was ranked 85th in Golf Digest's Top 100 Golf Courses Outside the US in 2007.[16]

A campus of the Cavite State University was built in Barangay Osorio in 2005.[17] After a few years, the city government established its own local college, Trece Martires City College in 2008.[18]

From 2000 to 2007, Trece Martires more than doubled its population from 40,000 to 90,000, making it the fastest growing city in the country during that period.[19] The succeeding years also followed this trend. It was caused by the influx of new residents choosing to live in its private subdivisions. This growth coincided with the opening of new industrial estates in nearby General Trias and Dasmariñas, namely New Cavite Industrial City, First Cavite Industrial Estate and Gateway Business Park, which hosted an Intel plant starting 1997.[20]

The city sustained this population boom from 2014 onwards, led by the construction of resettlement sites around the city. The National Housing Authority, for instance, built 19,000 housing units for relocatees from the National Capital Region to reside in. These sites are in Barangays Osorio, Hugo Perez, Lallana, Cabuco, Aguado and Inocencio.[21]

Several commercial establishments opened in the city, starting with WalterMart in 2012, Tower Mall in 2015, and finally, SM Trece Martires in 2016.[22]

Geography

[edit]

Trece Martires is in the heart of Cavite Province. It is bounded north and northwest by the municipality of Tanza, west and southwest by the municipality of Naic, south by the municipality of Indang, southeast by the municipality of Amadeo and east by the city of General Trias.[23]

Historically, the city economy was reliant on agriculture. However, with the conversion of land from agricultural to commercial, industrial and residential purposes, this has changed, leading to a decrease in farming activity. Conversely, the services sector is growing.

Agriculture

[edit]

In 2013, only 10% of Trece Martires' land area was devoted to agriculture. The farmers of the city plant rice, corn, root crops and vegetables. The city also produces ornamental flowers; it harvested the highest amount of sampaguita amongst the towns and cities in Cavite in 2013.[29]

Retail

[edit]
SM City Trece Martires

During the 2010s, the city enjoyed new investments in the form of new business establishments. These include WalterMart Trece Martires, the largest Walter Mart mall in Cavite along Governor's Drive, in 2012; and two Puregold stores in Barangays Hugo Perez and San Agustin. In 2015, Trece Tower Mall was opened, while the SM City Trece Martires, the fifth SM Supermall in Cavite was opened in 2016. The first Alfamart store in the Philippines was built in Brgy.

Philippine real estate giant Megaworld and its subsidiary Global-Estate Resorts, Inc. entered the city in the late 2010s and launched two major townships. The first one, Arden Botanical Estates was launched in 2019. It is a 251-hectare township straddling the borders of Trece Martires and Tanza, and will feature an expansive variety of gardens and natural parks around the development.[33][34] The Blue zone project features residential and leisure villages including the 18.1-hectare Arden Botanical Village and the 15.2-hectare Arden Westpark Village. GERI also inaugurated the 18.3-hectare The Lindgren's Scandinavian inspired houses. Renowned landscape architect and PGAA Creative Design founder, Paulo G. Alcazaren designed the Arden Botanical Village, the 8.3-hectare Arden Botanical Estate Town Center and Centrera Park with its Breathing Chapel, Arden Bike Trails and an amphitheater.[35]

The second one is Sherwood Hills, which was launched in 2023. It will be redeveloped after the golf course and surround landholdings was acquired by a Megaworld subsidiary in 2011.[36] Spanning 340 hectares, the project is envisioned to be an "integrated lifestyle community".[37]

Other roads serve as connections from residential areas located further away from the main thoroughfares, such as Lapidario Road, Market Road, Panungyanan Road and Osorio Road.

While the city has no expressways in its jurisdiction, the upcoming Cavite–Laguna Expressway will have an exit in Gen. Trias, along Governor's Drive.[38] This exit will be around 7 kilometers away from Trece Martires' city center.
