About this Information
Bacoor City Business Permit and Licensing System.
The City of Bacoor has always been proud to be a major gateway to the province of Cavite for more than 350 years. Authored by Agustin de la Cavada and Mendez de Vigo in 1894, “Historia, Geografica, Geologica y Estadistica de Filipinas” noted that Bacoor was founded in 1671, during the reign of King Charles II of Spain. This was rooted in a petition coming from Bacoor’s principalia or noble class. It was reviewed until Bacoor was officially separated from the mother town of Cavite El Viejo (Kawit). The Ereccion del Pueblo de Bacoor decree was issued to Governor General Manuel de Leon at a time when Bacoor’s population numbered 10,165. Migration from Parañaque and nearby pueblos was believed to have started in 1669. Although Bacoor was never geographically part of Parañaque, our strong connection to it is not at all surprising as Cavite’s coastal towns were under its ecclesiastical jurisdiction until the late 16th century. The ecclesiastical jurisdiction for Bacoor was then transferred to Cavite Puerto and lasted until King Ferdinand VI of Spain issued a royal cedula forming Bacoor’s own curate in 1752.
Also known as Bacoor’s founding families, the principales bears the following last names: Cuenca, Gregorio, Pagtakhan, Garcia, Bayan, Castillo, Guevarra, de Castro, de la Rosa, Farolan, Garay, Ocampo, Paquingan, and Rodriguez. Also coming from the principalia class, Mateo Masacayan was Bacoor’s first gobernadorcillo. As such, they were responsible for shaping a mere suburb of Kawit into a new and independent pueblo in the province of Cavite.
