The City of Dasmariñas (Filipino: Lungsod ng Dasmariñas) is a first class city in the province of Cavite, Philippines. It is located approximately 30 kilometres (19 mi) south of Manila. According to the 2010 census, it has a population of 575,817 people, making it before the most populous municipality in the Philippines before it was converted into a city. Dasmariñas is now the 11th largest city in the country in terms of population. It has a land area of 90.1 square kilometers (34.8 sq mi).
Dasmariñas City used to be part of Cavite's second congressional district until June 30, 2010. The city has now its own legislative district, although that district is still part of the representation of Cavite (Cavite's 4th legislative district will also be known as the Legislative District of Dasmariñas.
Dasmariñas is the wealthiest local government unit in the province of Cavite according to the 2006 Commission on Audit report. In addition, prior to its conversion into a city, Dasmariñas was the only municipality in the Philippines that had both an SM and Robinsons Mall.
The growing congestion and outward urban expansion of the Metropolitan Manila Area has setup a favorable atmosphere for the development of the town. The changing dynamics of Dasmariñas from a traditional agricultural town to a fast urbanizing suburbia serve as a telltale sign of progress. Now, with a population of close to 700,000 people and the development of the resettlement areas, a new city was born. Dasmariñas at present showcases large educational and health institutions and an influx of industries and subdivisions, an inevitable development that truly makes this city, first class.
Geography
Location
Dasmariñas City is about 8,234 hectares, 12 kilometers from Metro Manila or the National Capital Region and 27 kilometers south of the center of the City of Manila. It is bounded by the city of Imus and the municipality of Silang, both in Cavite at the north and south respectively, at the east by the towns of San Pedro and Biñan by the side of Laguna and Carmona and at the west, it is bounded by General Trias, also in Cavite and a little further from this boundary is Trece Martires City.
It is strategically located at the intermediate zone of the Metropolitan Manila area. With adequate accessibility, Dasmariñas is within the urbanizing development influence of Metro Manila area.
It is composed of the Poblacion and the barangays. The Poblacion which is now divided into four zones is on the westernmost section of the city, Sabang, Salawag and Salitran are to the north and to the south are San Agustin, Langkaan and Sampaloc. Burol, Paliparan, and the Resettlement Area are on the eastern side of the city.
The city of Dasmariñas is landlocked. However, it is not too far from the coastal towns of Rosario, Kawit, Bacoor, Noveleta and Cavite City whose average distance from Poblacion is less than 30 kilometers. It is about the same distance from Laguna de Bay and about 27 kilometers from the resort city of Tagaytay and the famous Taal Lake.
At present, Dasmariñas is served by corridors traversing the central areas which provide linkages to the Metropolitan Manila area core in the north and the developing nodes of Laguna and Batangas.
Topography
Dasmariñas is partly lowland and partly hill. The Poblacion itself is elevated. From an elevation of 80 meters at the Poblacion, the land rises to 250 meters towards Silang. Generally, land near rivers and creeks are rugged. Dasmariñas is outside the typhoon belt and has no fault line constraints. Further, it is served by natural drainage system since it is traversed by several rivers and water tributaries draining to the Manila Bay. The town has yet to experience floods.
Slope
Strongly sloping to elevated areas cover approximately 1,532.16 hectares or 18.61% of the total area. These are dispersed among Burol, Langkaan, Paliparan, Salawag, Sampaloc and San Agustin. Areas with slopes 10.1 to 18% cover about 575.72 hectares of land in portions of Salawag, Salitran, Burol, and other parts.
On the other hand, gently sloping or undulating areas comprise merely 710.4 hectares or 8.62% of the total land area while undulating areas with a slope of 2.6 to 5% account for the biggest percentage of 50.59% of the total land area equivalent to 4, 165.64 hectares of land which are dispersed over the municipality except Sabang and San Jose.
Climate
Two pronounced seasons: wet season and dry season. Wet season covers the period from May to December of each year and dry season covers the period from January to April.
The temperature in Dasmariñas has been noted to range from below 60 F to about 90 F. Further, south, however, where there is a higher elevation, the temperature becomes as cool as 50 F during the Christmas season.
History
Foundation
The origin of the name "Dasmariñas" is "Gómez Pérez Dasmariñas", the Spanish governor-general of the Philippines from 1590 to 1593. After his death, his son Luis Pérez Dasmariñas became the governor-general from 1593 to 1596. Pérez Dasmariñas came from San Miguel das Negradas,Galicia (Spain).
Dasmariñas literally means "from the marines" in the Galician language (NW of Iberian Peninsula).
According to Agustin de la Cavada in his Historia Geografica, Geologica y Estadistica de Filipinas, this town started as a barrio of Imus and it was made into an independent municipality in 1867. The Spanish government named the town of Perez Dasmariñas in honor of Don Perez Dasmariñas who was the Governor General of the Islands from 1590 to 1593. Chinese oarsmen whom he had hired murdered him. His son, Don Luis Perez Dasmariñas also lost his life in the hands of the Chinese in 1603. Don Gomez Dasmariñas was well remembered because he was the one who ordered complete fortification of Intramuros and the construction of Fort Santiago.
On April 9, 1864, a council made of the Archbishop of Manila, the politico military governor of Cavite, the Prior Provincial of the Augustinian Recollect Order and the parish priest of Imus met to discuss the creation of a new town and parish separated from Imus, which eventually became the town of Perez Dasmariñas. On May 12, 1864, the Gobierno Civil Superior of the Islands approved the creation of the new town while Her Most Catholic Majesty Queen Isabela II signed the Royal Order creating the new parish of Perez-Dasmariñas on October 21, 1866. The town of Perez Dasmariñas was founded by the
Recollect Fathers in the year 1867 under the patronage of the Immaculate Conception whose feast day is celebrated on December 8. Perez Dasmariñas was formerly a "visita" of Imus that was also founded by the Recollect Fathers in 1795. According to records, the first settlers must have arrived in 1861 and were believed to be the families of Gil Tirona, Vicente Guevarra, Eleuterio Geda and Eustaquio Paulino.
Philippine Revolution against Spain & the American Colonial Era
The Spanish government in Cavite had become suspicious of the activities of the locals going on the town in June 1896. In September 1896, Don Placido Campos, the current gobernadorcillo at the time, and Don Francisco Barzaga, the secretario municipal, gathered the people to liberate their town from Spanish control.
On February 25, 1897, the Spanish forces came and brought destruction to the town and its people. Almost fifty percent of the population was wiped out during the attack and almost all buildings were burned down except the Roman Catholic Church which remained undamaged. The Spaniards utilized it as their garrison. This was known as Battle of Perez Dasmariñas.
At the coming of the American fleet of Admiral Dewey and the famous naval battle of Manila Bay in May 1898, which defeated the Spanish forces under Admiral Montojo, the people of Dasmariñas under the leadership of Placido Campos, fought and drove away the Spaniards occupying the town. Noted Filipino generals like Flaviano Yengko and Crispulo Aguinaldo (elder brother of Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo) died in action in Dasmariñas during the encounters.
The people who resettled back thereafter rebuilt the town that was heavily devastated. So sooner was it rehabilitated, then in the late 1800s, the Filipinos were again up in arms, this time against the Americans. Then again, Dasmariñas was annihilated and identity was lost in a heap of rubble. Two years later, the American regime took over and in 1904, the town was again reverted to its former distinction as part of Imus. In 1917, however, Dasmariñas re-gained its recognition as a separate municipality. Consequently, provincial Governor A. Soriano along with leading officials of the town particularly Placido N. Campos, Francisco Barzaga, Felipe Tirona and many others, convened and voted to drop the name "Perez" and retain "Dasmariñas" as its official name.
Japanese Occupation & Allied Liberation Period
On December 17, 1944, zonification was conducted by the Imperial Japanese Army in the town proper. The church was used as garrison and all male residents suspected of involved in partisan activity were brought to the back of the Dasmariñas Elementary School where they were tortured and murdered.
In 1945, Filipino troops of the 4th and 42nd Infantry Divisions of the Philippine Commonwealth Army liberated the town of Dasmariñas and aided the local Caviteño resistance in their fight against the Imperial Japanese Army, marking the end of the Second World War.
Present
Dasmariñas Bagong Bayan (DBB), also known as Dasmariñas Resettlement Area, was established in 1975 by Letter of Instruction No. 19 issued by the then President Ferdinand Marcos.
As of 2007, the City has a population in excess of over 556,000. Dasmariñas served as a catalyst for major economic development and sustained growth for the Metro Manila urban area since the 1990s. The influx of industries, academia, and real estate developments is significant of in a town outside of a major financial district. Located at Dasmariñas are the First Cavite Industrial Estate with 81 foreign and
domestic corporations employing 20,000, and the University Town in Cavite, with a student population of 15,000 centered on the De La Salle University-Dasmariñas.
Since 1892, when Don Placido N. Campos became the first mayor, there have been 23 mayors of the city. The current mayor, Jennifer A. Barzaga, as of her election in 2007 is both the first woman mayor and first city mayor since Dasmariñas was incorporated as a city.

City Logo/Seal
The city government and the Dasmarineños commonly called it logo rather than a seal.
The seal was the winner of the City Logo making competition sponsored by the City Government.The competition from started February 26, 2010 until March 26 of the same year. A Skyscrapercity forumer and graphic designer named Ryan Suarez created the city seal. The winning seal underwent minor revisions and for the celebration of the 1st Cityhood Anniversary and the 143rd Feast of the Immaculate Conception, from November 25 - December 8, the new city logo was unveiled on November 26, 2010 in the City Quadrangle.
The buildings, houses and the gear originate from the old seal. The church symbolizes the historical Immaculate Conception Church located in the Poblacion. The sun is from the flag of the Philippines wherein one of the rays represent the province of Cavite. The people represents the family and the people of the Dasmariñas.
The two rice stalks and the farmer represents agriculture that reminds us that the city was once a farming community before evolving into a urbanized city. The globe symbolizes the global competitiveness of the city. The green leaf represents the city's environmental advocacy.

Most affluent families from Metro Manila and nearby towns and provinces have chosen Dasmariñas to be their home due to its proximity to the National Capital Region.

Because of this, Dasmariñas can be also considered as the "Melting Pot" of Cavite.
