The Cavite os are, by nature, mostly fractious, challenging and uncondescending. Permeating through all strata of Cavite society, these idiosyncrasies made the Cavite os earn fame or incur notoriety.
Nonconformity is the way of life.
It is nonconformity that makes the Cavite os lead and not follow. The fight for Philippine freedom would not have been started had the Cavite os not fired the first shots of the Revolution. What others did in Balintawak was just to shout out their protests and tear up their cedulas. And, in cadence with their march to victory, a Cavite o, Julian Felipe, wrote the martial chords of the Philippine national anthem which inflamed further Filipinos in seven other provinces to join in the struggle. It has been, however, this nonconformity that threatens to rend asunder the harmony among Cavite os.
