MUNICIPALITY OF MARAGONDON:An Overview
Situated 54 kilometers south of Metro Manila and elevates 78 feet abovesea level, along the flatlands of the mountain ranges bordering Cavite Provinceand Batangas, is the Maragondon town in the historical province of braveCavitenos. It is at the western part of the province at approximately 120 degrees
40.4 minutes East longitude and 140 degrees 10.6 minutes North latitude.
It is one of the oldest town and the biggest enconmienda in Cavite duringthe Spanish regime. The encomienda comprises the present towns of Naic,Ternate, Gen. Aguinaldo, Alfonso and Magallanes. On March 31, 1857, Ternatewas separated from Maragondon; Gen. Aguinaldo and Alfonso on 1858; andMagallanes (Banitan) on June 15, 1879. At present Maragondon is the largesttown in the province with an approximate area of 16,549 hectares. The
neighboring municipalities are Naic on the North;Indang on the North-East;Ternate on the west; Nasugbu, Batangas on the South; Bailen and Alfonso on theEast; and Magallanes on the South-West. The 27 barangays of Maragondon are
Poblacion 1-A, Poblacion 1-B, Poblacion 2-A, Poblacion 2-B, Caingen, Garita A,Garita B, San Miguel A, San Miguel B, Pinagsanhan A, Pinagsanhan B, Bucal 1,Bucal 2, Bucal 3-A, Bucal 3-B, Bucal 4-A, Bucal 4-B, Tulay A (Kanluran), Tulay B(Silangan), Pantihan 1, Pantihan 2, Pantihan 3, Pantihan 4, Mabato, Talipusngo,
Layong Mabilog and Sta. Mercedes (Patungan). As an agricultural town, theprimary means of livelihood is farming and the principal crops are rice, sugarcane, corn, cassava, banana, pineapple, etc.
The different years of establishment of Maragondon were in 1611, 1690 ,1727 and 1754. This maybe attributed to the three religious orders (theFranciscans, Recollects and the Jesuits) who attended to the spiritual needs of thetown people. The Franciscans established the first “visita” (Provincia de SanGregorio de Magno) on 1611, while the Recollects in 1690 established the“Fundacion Eclesiastico” that is, creating the town as a regular parish of OurLady of the Assumption whose feast is celebrated every 14th and 15th of August.In 1727, Maragondon, then a barrio of Silang became a municipality. The firstappointed “gobernadorcillo” was Don Gregorio Silvestre. After itsindependence from Silang, Maragondon has been under the (corregimiento)government of Mariveles (now Bataan) until 1754 when Spanish Governor
General Pedro Manuel Arandia (1754 – 1759) abolished the politico-militaryadministration and restored Maragondon to Cavite Province.
The former name of Maragondon was “Madagundong” which is
synonymous to “Maugong”. This name was derived from Uugong. The placewhere the first seat of the civil government of Maragondon was established.
6
Uugong is a place in Capantayan were the cascading waters created aresounding sound - - - - - “dagundong”. Thus the name Madagundong.
With the changing mood of the people and having been dissatisfied withthe name Madagundon, the people petitioned to the gobernadorcillo to changethe name Madagundong to Marigondon, in honor of the town’s patron saint.
“The Nuestra Senora Maria de la Asuncion”.
When the American came, a Geographic Committee of prominent Filipinowas created that investigated and revised the name of Philippine towns andprovinces. It was Lope K. Santos a member of the said committee whorecommend that the name Marigondon officially renamed “Maragondon”.
During the Revolution of 1896, many brave sons of Maragondon fought
for the independence of the Motherland. Most prominent were Gen. EmilianoRiego de Dios, elected Secretary of War at the Tejeros Convention, Gen. MarianoRiego de Dios, Col. Esteban Infante, Col. Crisostomo Riel, Don Vicente Somoza, a
member of the Malolos Convention and Col. Antero Reyes, Commanding Officerof the Volcan Mayon Regiment of the Infantry Corps who died in defense ofLegaspi City.
It was in this town where Supremo Andres Bonifacio was court-martialledfor the crime of Treason. Four of the seven members of the consejo de Guerrawere illustrious sons of Maragondon, namely: Gen. Mariano Riego de Dios, Col.Crisostomo Riel, Col. Esteban Infante and Don Sulficio Anthony. However, in
the records of the trial, of the members from Maragondon, only Col. EstebanInfante was the signatory for the death sentence.
On May 10, 1897, at the plain of Mt. Hulog, which was then called Mt.Nagpatong at Barangay Pinagsanhan B, the two brother Andres and ProcopioBonifacio, met their tragic death when Commandante Lazaro Macapagalexecuted the death sentence.
On the same date three brigades of the Spanish Soldiers under thecommand of Gov. Gen. Primo de Rivera attacked Maragondon, which was thenthe seat of government of Gen. Aguinaldo.
The full scale attack on Maragondon took place on the twelfth of Maywith enemy pressing from three sides. The insurgent undoubtedly consideredMaragondon as their last refuge in Cavite and for that reason offered heavy
resistance at the convent where we found the enemy dead in large numbers.
7
The church and the convent were surrounded by a thick stone wallthrough which loopholes and been made for the defenders to fire through. The
resistance was stubborn until the Spaniards rolled their batteries of mountainartilleries into place and fired almost at point blank range, shattering the wallinto rubble. Overwhelmed by superior numbers and irresistable artillery fire, thesurvivors fled along a ravine that led to foothills, just in time to escape from the
enveloping movement of the enemy column that came in from the coast. Thiswas an account from Spanish eyewitness. With the fall of Maragondon to theSpaniards, Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo by using mountain trails, escaped to Biak-naBato, where he established the revolutionary government.
The historical and tourist spots in the municipality are: the house whereAndres and Procopio Bonifacio were court-martialled; Mt. Nagpatong, wherethe two brothers were killed and burried; the house of Gen. Emiliano Riego de
Dios; the 384 years old catholic church with its baroque altar and pulpit; themajestic Maragondon River ; the panoramic view of mountain ranges specificallyat Talipusngo; the Kay Akle Irrigation Dam; Mabato Waterfalls and beach resort
and the ambush site at Bucal 4.
There is a common belief among town people in Maragondon, especiallyduring the rainy season that whenever Mt. Pico de Loro is enveloped with dark
clouds it is ominous that heavy rain will surely fall. Likewise, there is also abelief that the sleeping beautiful mountain of Maragondon will one day beawakened and amidst its virgin forest will rise different tall structures as asymbol of her prosperity and development.
With the integrated programs and project which has been institutionalizedby the government for radial development coupled by the mass support andcooperation of the people, both in the public and private sectors, our aspirationas a people for a progressive and peaceful Maragondon is not a impossibledream. For colloquially the name Maragondon connotes “Magtagumpay”dissatisfied with the name Madagundong, the people petitioned to herrevolutionary name during the historical year of 1896.

IV. LIVELIHOOD
Upon the launching of One Town One Product (OTOP) by President GloriaMacapagal Arroyo, the municipal government of Maragondon identified that bamboowould be the best product since OTOP promotes entrepreneurship and create jobs. Also,OTOP supports micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) to manufacture, offer andmarket distinctive products or services through the use of indigenous raw materials andlocal skills and talents.
Bamboo has long been a popular material for construction and handicraftin the rural and urban areas. It is preferred not because it is abundant but alsobecause it is light yet strong and durable, straight yet versatile. Unlike
hardwoods like narra, yakal, mahogany, etc., that requires a growing period oftwenty years or more. Bamboo can be used at the age of three (3) years.Bamboo is versatile raw material. Through the years, its use has largelydiversified. It has benefited many industries and sectors. It makes a goodmaterial for furniture, fishing gear, handicrafts and musical instruments as well.
BRIEF PROFILE OF MARAGONDON AS BAMBOO CAPITAL OF CAVITEMaragondon is one of the municipalities of the province of Cavite that
produces abundant supply of bamboo. About 479.470 hectares (2.9%) of the16,549 hectares of Maragondon land is devoted to bamboo production. Most of
the farmers are engage in bamboo production since its topography is reallysuited for propagation. But still, aside from tilling their lands and earning frombamboos, farmers are seeking for other ways to alleviate themselves frompoverty. Thus, they identified bamboo processing as one of the technology that
they want to learn. Bamboo farmers would like to process their crop to improvethe value added contribution of this product in their livelihood development.

V. STRATEGY FOR DEVELOPMENT
The main thrust of Maragondon will be development ofagricultural as the main resource of development efforts. Thedevelopment of agriculture- related activities that would in turn provide
income/and employment opportunities would boost the municipality’sdevelopment. In carrying out this strategy, new infrastructure projectedwill be introduce to improve existing one to be able to effect the necessarydevelopment. This achievement of such strategy is expected with the
implementation of the policy in guiding agriculture into being a strongindustrial base. The full potential of the areas agricultural resources willbe harnessed. In doing so, some 6,821 has. of agricultural lands suitable
for crop production, particularly rice, vegetable and fruit production willbe opened up along the establishment of a firm foundation fordevelopment. Full exploitation of water resources will be required for thecultivation of lowland area will be mostly planted to rice. Expansion of
tree crop areas to complement fruit production for processing andpreservation activities and planting of ipil-ipil and bamboo as effectivematerials for forest conservation will be affected on steeper areas alongriverbanks.
VI. SECTORAL STRATEGY
1. Economic Sector
The overriding concern of Maragondon will be to increaseproductivity of croplands and link these to market areas outside themunicipality. Increase productivity will be enhanced through multiplecropping and crop diversification. Intensive fruit, vegetable and riceproduction will be vigorously pursued to sustain exports and foodprocessing activities.
Introduction of modern farm technology and extension services plusthe provision of financial assistance and credit facilities to the agricultural
infrastructural support such as the construction and improvement ofexisting irrigation system to achieve a more increased rice production.Also, the improvement of farm to market roads will also be included tofacilitate the marketing of goods.
To attain the objective of self-sufficiency in meat and fish production,the commercial production of livestock and poultry will be emphasized
through the encouragement of private investment. This strategy willinclude provision of extension services and technical know-how.
24
Meanwhile, fish production could also attain higher production throughcredit extension and introduction of scientific fishing methods.
Another strategy for economic development is to improve economicparticipation of the people through the establishment of incomegenerating small and medium scale and cottage industries particularly
those which will utilize indigenous raw materials. These agriculture-related industries must be developed in the context of the distributionsystem, feeder roads and other infrastructures.
Economic development also depends upon strategy of conservationand development of forest potentials for tourism. Development andconversion of suitably located parks, wildlife refuge and forest reservesinto a municipal park will be instituted.
Similarly, the development of the municipal and historical landmarkswill also be undertaken to further enhance the tourism potentials of
Maragondon.
2. SOCIAL SECTOR
Emphasis on the provision of social services such as health,manpower development and housing will be the primary concern in thissector, as such, social infrastructures like school houses, barangay healthcenters and medical hospital and sports complex will be constructed to
improve the people’s access to social services. Also, health improvementthrough the provision of potable water and sanitary toilets will furtherpursued. Priorities shall be established in providing assistance in theconstruction of houses, school houses and health facilities whilemanpower development and health services will be provided andmaintained in all barangays.
3. PHYSICAL SECTOR
The strategies of the physical sector call for the strict control in theexploitation of forest resources to preserve natural environment and the
introduction of soil management and flood control measures.
Utmost protection of the forest through proper managementprotection of watersheds and conservation of forest resources should be
undertaken. This could be done through tree farming in suitable areas tomaintain a good balance between forest and agricultural areas aside fromproviding watersheds and erosion protection. Its mountain reserves
25
should be protected from Kaingeros and made more accessible for publicrecreation.
Soil management as a counter measure to erosion will be instituted.Similarly, flood control measures like rehabilitation of drainage facilitieswill be affected to check periodic floodings in the road network of the
municipality.
5. INFRASTRUCTURE SECTOR
The strategy for land transport emphasize the improvement ofmajor roads connecting the municipality with other towns and thedevelopment activities. In addition to this is the strategy of providingtotal electrification to Maragondon. This strategy will include the
harnessing of the towns power generating potentials. On the other hand,the water resources of the municipality will be fully exploited to provideadequate potable water supply and at the same time provide water for
irrigation. The rehabilitation and construction of artesian wells will beundertaken while the improvement of the existing irrigation of new oneswill be instituted to increase primarily irrigated areas for agriculturewhich will provide for the stabilization of food supply.
To provide a municipal wide network of communication facilities,the expansion and improvement of existing communication facilities andservices is expected to bring about a fast and efficient transmission of
