    Comprehensive Historical Research of

    General Trias, Cavite

    The municipality of General Trias was created on December 13, 1748, and was named

    after its Patron Saint, Francis of Assisi, who lived from 1181 to 1226. By a statute passed by

    Emilio P. Virata during his term as representative of Cavite, 1919-1921, the town's name was

    changed to General Trias in honor of Gen. Mariano Trias (1869-1914). San Francisco de

    Malabon used to be a large municipality that included its current area as well as Sta. Cruz de

    Malabon or Malabon el chico (now Tanza) and Rosario (previously Tejeros) were frequently

    referred to by rebel Salinas. This enormous region was once part of the friars' Hacienda de San

    Francisco, but Doa Isabel Gomez de Cariaga purchased it on June 14, 1788.

    The "First Cry of Cavite" began in San Francisco de Malabon around ten o'clock in the

    morning of August 31, 1896, when Filipino revolutionaries led by Mariano Trias, Diego Mojica,
    and Nicolas Portilla took the town's tribunal. The second occurrence occurred at 12 p.m. at

    Noveleta, while the third occurred between 2:00 and 3:00 p.m. in Cavite el viejo (now Kawit).

    On March 22, 1897, Magdiwang conducted a convention in the friar estate house in Sitio Tejero,

    now part of Rosario, Cavite, where General Emilio Aguinaldo was elected president of the

    Revolutionary Government in his absence.

    General Mariano Alvarez of Noveleta's Sangguniang Bayan Magdiwang and San

    Francisco de Malabon's Sangguniang Balangay Mapagtiis subsequently joined to become the

    Magdiwang Council, with Mariano Alvarez as president. Following Andres Bonifacio's arrival in

    Cavite, the Magdiwang Council was reformed, with the Katipunan Supremo becoming the

    Haring Bayan (King) and Mariano Alvarez becoming the Pangalawang Haring Bayan (vice

    King). From early December 1896 to March 22, 1897, when the Tejeros Convention was held,

    forming the Revolutionary Government to replace the Katipunan, this was the Magdiwang

    Council's makeup.
    The History of the Local Place

    General Trias was the first provincial governor of Cavite under the American

    administration, serving with General Aguinaldo throughout the revolution and during the

    Philippine-American war. General Trias, the Mabini Cabinet's secretary of the treasury, was

    named by Aguinaldo as the supreme civilian and military commander in Southern Luzon shortly

    after the war broke out on February 4, 1899. Trias had an agonizing reappraisal of his position 23

    days after Aguinaldo's treacherous capture by the Americans in Palanan, Isabela, on March 23,

    1901, and wrote to General Miguel Malvar, his second in command, that "In view of the course,

    if (war) had taken, I believe it is difficult, if not impossible, for us to achieve our goal of

    independence by arm struggle." As a result, Trias surrenders to the Americans in order to

    continue working on "securing independence in a legal and peaceful manner."

    Malvar, on the other hand, decided to fight until his soldiers, exhausted by battle and

    starved for food and ammunition, essentially abandoned their commander and forced him to

    surrender on April 16, 1902.


    The Historical and Heritage Sites of the Place

    The General Trias Church (Simbahan ng Heneral Trias), also known as St. Francis of Assisi

    Parish Church, is the first Catholic parish church in the municipality of General Trias, Cavite.

    The church is in General Trias' town square plaza, which was previously known as San

    Francisco de Malabon in honor of the town's patron saint, Saint Francis of Assisi. It was founded

    in 1611 by the Franciscans. In 1624, it was given to the Jesuits, and on September 9, 1753, it

    became a separate parish. Its architectural style

    is Earthquake Baroque, and its architectural type

    is a church with an adjoining convent. It's a type

    of Spanish Baroque architecture that was

    popular in the Philippines throughout the 17th

    and 18th centuries, when the country was

    devastated by earthquakes. Dona Maria Josepha

    de Yrizzari Y Ursula, Countess of Lizarraga oversaw the construction of the stone church in

    1769. In 1834, it was renovated and expanded. During the Luzon earthquakes of 1880, the

    church was partially damaged. In 1881, the facade was replaced, and in 1885, it was restored

    again. In 1892, the roof tiles were replaced with curved galvanized iron roofing to provide

    additional earthquake protection. In 1893, it was renovated and expanded once again. Between

    1989 and 1991, the church was restored to its original glory. It was consecrated for the second
    time on June 22, 1991, by Most Reverend Felix P. Perez of the Diocese of Imus, the diocese that

    oversees St. Francis of Assisi Parish Church.
