Imus, Administrative capital in Cavite, Philippines
Imus is an administrative capital in Cavite province on the island of Luzon in the Philippines, located about twelve miles (twenty kilometers) south of Metro Manila. The city covers an area of twenty-one square miles (fifty-three square kilometers) and is divided into ninety-seven barangays that serve as the smallest local government units.
The Battle of Imus in September 1896 marked a turning point in the Philippine Revolution, leading to the eventual independence from Spanish colonial administration.
The Imus Cathedral stands as a center of religious practices, featuring Spanish architectural elements that reflect the deep connection between faith and local traditions.
The city operates emergency services available around the clock through local hotlines, and public transport options such as buses and jeepneys connect different parts of the area. These networks make it possible to reach nearby towns and regions within Cavite as well as Metro Manila.
The Flag Capital of the Philippines earned its title from events at Alapan in eighteen ninety-eight, when the Philippine flag was displayed publicly for the first time. This moment is now remembered as a milestone on the path toward national independence.
