General Trias
General Trias ([hɛnɛˈɾal ˈtɾias]), officially the City of General Trias (Filipino: Lungsod ng General Trias), is a component city in the province of Cavite, Philippines. According to the 2024 census, it has a population of 482,453 people.
During the earlier part of the Spanish colonial period, General Trias was often referred to as Las Estancias (the ranches), which was once a part of Cavite el Viejo, the present-day Kawit. It was also called Malabón Grande. The name Malabón is derived from Tagalog, meaning "having many silt deposits".
The first reference seems to be more probable because General Mariano Trías, a noted writer, adopted the nom de guerre "Labong Grande, on the other hand, was affixed to the appellation because at the time, the place was a vast wilderness covering Sitio Tejero, frequently called by the revolutionary as Salinas (present-day Rosario), Santa Cruz de Malabon or Malabon el Chico (present-day Tanza) and Tierra Alta (present-day Noveleta). When the town was made independent from Cavite el Viejo, it was finally called by its popular name San Francisco de Malabon, in honor of patron saint, Saint Francis of Assisi.
The 1818 Spanish census showed the area had 1,510 native families and 69 Spanish-Filipino families.
The first uprising in Cavite, known as the “First Cry of Cavite,” took place in San Francisco de Malabon at around 10:00 a.m. on August 31, 1896, when Filipino revolutionaries led by Mariano Trías, Diego Mojica, and Nicolas Portilla attacked the town tribunal in Pasong Kalabaw (now Santa Clara). This was followed by a second uprising at around noon in Tierra Alta, and a third in Cavite el Viejo between 2:00 and 3:00 p.m.
A local chapter of the Katipunan, known as Balangay Mapagtiis had already been in existence in the place for sometime. known as *Balangay Mapagtiis*, had already been established in the area. The Sangguniang Bayang Magdiwang, led by General Mariano Álvarez of Tierra Alta, and the Sangguniang Bayang Mapagtiis of San Francisco de Malabon later merged to form the Magdiwang Council, with Álvarez as its president. The Magdiwang Council hosted the Tejeros Convention on March 22, 1897, at a friar estate house in Sitio Tejero (now part of Rosario). During the convention, General Emilio Aguinaldo was elected president, and Mariano Trías, then a lieutenant general, was elected vice president, establishing a revolutionary government that replaced the Katipunan.
On October 15, 1903, Act No. 947 was approved by the Philippine Commission, merging the adjacent town of Santa Cruz de Malabon (present-day Tanza) with San Francisco de Malabon, with the latter designated as the municipal seat. In 1909, a resolution was passed by the San Francisco de Malabon municipal council to separate Santa Cruz de Malabon to become an independent municipality of its own; it took effect in 1910.
On February 28, 1914, Act No. 2390 was passed by the Philippine Assembly, changing the town's name to Malabon. On February 24, 1920, Act No. 2889 was approved, renaming the town after General Mariano Trías, who died six years earlier.
