The city was officially established in 1954 and named in their honor, making it a fitting venue for this historical commemoration. Today, it serves as the "de facto" capital and seat of the Provincial Government of Cavite .
National History Month serves as an invitation for every Filipino to reflect on the enduring lessons of history and their relevance to the defining issues of our time . The theme for 2026, "Hinubog ng Bayan, Dinuyan ng Alon" (Shaped by the Nation, Cradled by the Waves), is in line with the Year of Philippine Diplomatic History and Diaspora, celebrating the country's long-standing engagement with the world and recognizing overseas Filipinos whose journeys have enriched national identity.
