TAGAYTAY
Tagaytay has a mild tropical monsoon climate with cooler temperatures and heavier rainfall during May to October, followed by a dry season from November to April. Because of its cold climate, it is a favored destination to both Filipinos and tourists. It's one of the most well known areas in the Phillipines with its amazing views and beautiful places, some of them being Taal Volcano, Sky Ranch, and Puzzle Mansion. The Department of Tourism (DOT) labeled the city as the top tourist destination in the Philippines during 2015.
Its name originates from the word "tagaytay" or "talaytay" which means mountain ridge. Although there is also a legend that the name comes from the words "taga" which means to cut, and "itay" which means father. The legend says a boy shouted this to his father when he was being attacked by a bear. The screams of the boy echoed throughout the alleys of the ridge and was heard by people nearby, which led them to naming that location"Tagaytay".
Tagaytay, officially titled as the City of Tagaytay, is a city part of the province of Cavite (it takes up 4.37% of the total land area) and is located near Manila (about 60 kilometers away).Tagaytay officially became a city on June 21, 1938 through the Commonwealth Act No. 33. It was authored by Justiniano Montano and signed by President Manuel L. Quezon.
For my personal experience Tagytay is a place worth going to. I can see why a lot of people go there for its cooler weather. I've went to skyranch and 1 or 2 other places but Tagytay is a memorable place because it's where one of my friends live.
