Bacoor, Cavite Celebrates it's 338 Foundation Year on the 3rd Bakood Festival. Lots of activities and special services lined up for the celebration.With it's theme “Isang Pamilya…Isang Bansa…Isang pasasalamat,” the month-long celebration is full of different events and activities for the Bacoorenians and for the tourists as well.
But before all this, let me first give you a brief history why Bacoor was named 'Bacoor'. Long time ago, during the spaniards time in the country, there were some Spaniard Troops who arrived at Bacoor. This is a sample dialouge that happened during that time.
Spaniard Troops: ¿Qué lugar es ese? ("what place is that?" - pointing to Bacoor)
Local Inhabitant 1: "Ano daw??"
The local men, who were making 'Bakood' or fences from 'Bamboo' just thought the spaniards asked what they were doing.
Local Inhabitant 2: "Baka tinatanong kung ano ang ginagawa natin..." (maybe they asked what we are doing...)
Local Inhabitant 3: "oh... Bakood... Bakood.. Yes...
Spaniard Troops: okay!
Then the Spaniard troops thought the name of the place was 'Bakood' until it was renamed to 'Bakoor' and to 'Bacoor'
So that's it.
