The Tagaytay City

Tagaytay City is one of the most-visited tourist spots in Luzon. It has breath-taking sceneries and a colder climate similar to the well-known Baguio City. Filipinos and tourists love to go here whenever they want to take a break from the warmer heat of Metro Manila. Additionally, Tagaytay is relatively close to Manila, having only approximately 59 kilometers away making it very accessible to nearby cities. Local Legend says that the word Tagaytay came from “taga” meaning to cut and “itay” which means father. According to hearsay, a father and son were on a wild boar hunt when the animal they were trying to chase turned and attacked them. The son cried “taga, itay!” repeatedly and echoed through the ridge’s alleyways. His cries were heard by the residents and became the topic of conversation for several days in the countryside. Indeed, quite morbid, right?
