Historical Context
Tanza was founded as a municipality in 1910, separated from Santa Cruz de Malabon (General Trias). It was the site where Emilio Aguinaldo took his oath as the first president of the revolutionary government in 1897 at the Tanza Convent. The town transitioned from a quiet agricultural community into a leading industrial and residential hub with the development of the Cavite Gateway Terminal. (Wikipedia)
