 TAGAYTAY - A CITY OF CHARACTER
ONE OF THE SAFEST CITIES IN THE PHILIPPINES

Perched 2,500 feet above sea level, at the highest point of the province of Cavite, the City of
Tagaytay has long attracted visitors for its cool mountain breeze, paradise gardens and the
magnificent view to that phenomenon of a “Lake-Volcano-Lake” called Taal.

Most recently, however, a new transition can be noticed in the local government and within the
community itself, that could probably attract more tourists to this city that’s only next-door to
Manila. Used to be, Tagaytay seemed a distant town, but now, 53 kilometers don’t feel so far,
with new highways and improved routes, linking the city closer to Manila.

Incumbent Mayor Francis N. Tolentino now envisions Tagaytay to become a “City of Character”
through “re-indoctrination” of the good old Filipino values that have been forgotten through time.
The natural endowments which make this city so popular can only be complemented by a
community with “character” – good ones, at that.

CHARACTER-REBUILDING PROGRAM

The mayor is in his third and last term of office, which started in 1986, when he was officer-in-
charge for the position at the young age of 26. He was eventually voted as mayor in 1994.
Such age would impart the mayor’s idealism and aggressiveness and this was reflected in his
choice of programs. The ambitious character-rebuilding project, however, will probably be the
one which people would remember him for, provided he succeeds in meeting his goals.

HOME
The program sounds too idealistic, too perfect to realize. “To be a true city of character where
elective officials, community leaders, and citizens recognize the importance of good character
and a community with a strong family, safe homes and streets, effective education, productive
business and people who care about one another.” Yet it may also be within reach.

Tagaytay occupies a land area of only 6,615 hectares, representing 5.15 percent of Cavite’s
total area. Its population, meaning actual residents, number a meager 45,000 with 7,000
households. And the visitors who create all the raucous company during peak seasons balloons
up the population to 100,000 every year.

So with his incumbencies, Mayor Tolentino may actually have a chance to promote a positive
environment which emphasizes “positive character qualities in every sector of the community.”

“The program is actually not new. Traditional Filipino values have been inculcated in us by our
elders when we were kids. We’ve just forgotten about them, so we believe from a good, sound
character, we can function better”, Mayor Tolentino explained.

Truthfulness, patience, gratefulness, forgiveness, responsibility, dependability, cleanliness, hard

work, discipline, humility, initiative, generosity – these values have been selected to be the
“characters of the month” for this year.

NATION OF CHARACTER

The program, launched in April 2000, has made Tagaytay one of the most peaceful cities in the
country. A crime efficiency rating of 93.85 percent as well as recognitions from various
institutions for its environment maintenance projects, stamps the city’s claim to being one of the
“hottest cities” of the year, as dubbed by the local magazine Graphic.
