Maragondon, officially the Municipality of Maragondon (Template:Langx), is a municipality in the province of Cavite, Philippines. According to the Template:PH wikidata, it has a population of Template:PH wikidata people.Template:PH wikidata
The town is famous for its bamboo crafts, Mounts Palay-Palay–Mataas-na-Gulod Protected Landscape which includes Mount Pico de Loro, and various ancestral houses and structures important to Philippine history and culture such as Maragondon Church and the execution site and trial house of national hero Andres Bonifacio.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
Etymology
The name "Maragondon" is a Spanish approximation of the Tagalog maragundóng or madagundóng ("having a rumbling or thunderous sound").<ref name="Lesho">Template:Cite book</ref> This referred to the noise coming from the Kay Albaran River in the village of Capantayan, which was the initial location for the town. However, due to the floods caused by the frequent overflowing of the river, the town was later moved to its present site.
History
Maragondon has three foundation dates, namely:
- 1611 – When Franciscans from Silang established their first visita (sub-mission);
- 1690 – The fundación ecclesiastica (founding of a regular parish) by the Jesuits, dedicated to Our Lady of the Assumption;
- 1727 – The fundación civil, when the barrio of Maragondon was separated from Silang under the Recollects and converted into an independent municipality, with Gregorio Silvestre as the first gobernadorcillo.
Maragondon belonged to the corregimiento of Mariveles (now part of Bataan) until 1754, when Governor-General Pedro Manuel de Arandía (1754–1759) abolished the politico-military administration and returned Maragondon to Cavite province. Alongside Silang, the town's territory was very large in its early decades.
In the second half of the 19th century, the towns of Ternate, Magallanes, Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo (formerly Bailen), Alfonso, and Naic were barrios of Maragondon. Ternate was the first town separated on March 31, 1857, under an agreement signed on behalf of the people of that town by Tomás de León, Félix Nigosa, Pablo de León, Florencio Niño Franco and Juan Ramos.
Bailen (now Gen. Aguinaldo) and Alfonso were separated from Maragondon in 1858, then Naic in 1869. Magallanes was the last village to be excised, founded on July 15, 1879 by an agreement signed by Crisóstomo Riel representing Maragondon and by Isidro Bello and company representing Magallanes.
During the Philippine Revolution, on May 4, 1897, revolutionary leader Andres Bonifacio and his brother Procopio Bonifacio were court-martialled and sentenced to death convened in the house of prominent resident, Teodorico Reyes, following the brothers' arrest for defying the authority of Emilio Aguinaldo. They were then held at Maragondon Church until May 10, 1897,<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> when they were executed somewhere in the Maragondon mountain range.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
Amid political violence in Cavite, the town's mayor, Severino Rillo, was assassinated on September 2, 1952, along with the town's police chief and several police officers in the Maragondon Massacre. The killings were committed by gangster Leonardo Manecio, better known as "Nardong Putik", upon orders from local politicians.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref>
