Tagaytay City Brief History (courtesy of www.cavite.gov.ph)
Tagaytay City's name has two origins. The first is rooted in an ancient folk tale where a father and son were hunting for wild boar when their quarry suddenly turned around and attacked them. The boy shouted to his father "Taga itay! Taga itay!" (Hack it father, hack it!) The boy's shouts echoed to the countryside and became a favorite tale of the locals and in the course of time, the place came to be known as "Tagaytay".
The second was recounted by Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo himself in his Memoirs. A local "kainginero" was asked by Spaniard, "Como se llama este sitio?" (How is this place called?), They did not, however, understand each other because of language barrier. The locals son, getting impatient, cried out, "Taga itay! Taga itay!" and the Spaniard replied "Ahh, Tagaytay!". Our Revolutionaries heavily used Tagaytay as a connectin linkand secret passageway between Cavite and Batangas during the Philippine Revolution. Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo and his army, in fact, captured the entire 72nd Battallion of the Spanish colonial army after passing through Tagaytay en route to Talisay, Batangas.
Tagaytay's strategic location was punctuated even more the 11th Airborne Division of the U.S. Army airdropped military back-up of the Ridge, and from there launched massive northward drive to Manila, culminating in the liberation of Manila from the Japanese on February 3, 1943. Tagaytay became a chartered city by virtue of Commonwealth Act No. 338 creating Tagaytay City, the city charter has been amended thrice: first, by Commonwealth Act No. 397 approved on September 6, 1938; second, under Republic Act No. 3622 of June 22, 1963; and third, by Republic Act No. 4438 of June 19, 1965.
