Mag-rant lang! Grabe na kasi, parang wala nang pakialam ang mga dapat nag aayos ng problema. Hindi si Kristine ang dapat sisihin! Dati, noon... kailangan pa ng 8-9 na araw na tuloy-tuloy na ulan para bumaha. Ngayon, kalahating araw o dalawang araw lang ng ulan, critical level na agad ang baha dahil wala nang mapuntahan ang tubig mula sa itaas.

Nakakalungkot na ganito tayo palagi—kahit walang bagyo, umuulan lang o high tide, baha agad. May solusyon naman, pero hindi nagagawa o ginagawa. Huwag nang paikutin ang mga taong umaasa sa mga pangako niyo… pag may ayuda, tutubo pa sila. Sige, tabunan niyo pa ang mga daanan ng tubig! Dahil ito ay bunga ng bad governance. BAD GOVERNANCE!

Kailan pa kaya magigising ang mga dapat maglingkod? Sila ba mismo ang nakakaranas ng ganitong hirap? Naiisip kaya nila kung paano apektado ang mga pamilyang hindi na makahinga sa pag-aalala tuwing umuulan? Kung hindi nila ito mararanasan, wala silang ideya kung gaano kahirap makabangon pagkatapos ng bawat pagbaha.

Ang dami nang naghihirap, at parang hindi nila ito nakikita. Gusto lang naman namin ng solusyon na totoo, hindi puro salita at pangako.
Nakakapagod na!

Mabuhay! As a native of Kawit, I grew up participating in the Karakol as a form of devotion and thanksgiving to Sta. Maria Magdalena. The Karakol tradition stands as one of the most significant cultural and religious practices, reflecting our deep-rooted devotion to St. Mary Magdalene. This sacred dance, performed on the eve of the fiesta, embodies our faith and community spirit.

The tradition of Karakol in Kawit, Cavite, is one of the most significant cultural and religious practices reflecting the deep-rooted devotion to our patron ...

Kawit Parish celebrates its 400 Years of Evangelization
by Angelo Jarin Aguinaldo and Rosanni Sarile

It was in 1624 that the Jesuits had the biggest mission of evangelization on the coast of Cavite Viejo, now Kawit. Hence, the area has been considered as fully Christianized. The stone church building that people know of today was finished in 1715.

In 1613 and 1614, at a time when Cavite was proclaimed as a politico military province with Cavite Puerto as the capital, the Jesuits conducted missions in the Port of Cavite. Cavite Puerto (Cavite City) then was the staging ground of the flourishing galleon trade and soon became the principal port of Manila and a cosmopolitan town. The missions may have prompted the Jesuits to establish a mission house in Cavite (Javellana, 1991).

In 1615, the Archbishop of Manila Garcia Serrano later placed Kawit under the Jesuits. It was the same year the Jesuits opened a temporary church dedicated to the Nuestra Seῆora de Loreto and a mission house in Cavite Puerto where the Jesuit ministering both Cavite el Viejo (Kawit) and Binakayan resided (Javellana, 1991).

The Jesuits took spiritual charge of Cavite el Viejo instead of Cavite Puerto due to lack of enough personnel.

It was on May 17, 1768 that the royal decree that expelled the Society of Jesus from Spain and the Spanish Empire arrived in Manila. Between 1769 and 1771, the Jesuits from the Philippines were transferred to Spain and from there deported to Italy.
Most of their parishes were turned over to the secular clergy. The old parishes of Silang, Indang, Maragondon, Naic and Cavite Viejo were given to diocesan priests (Medina, 1994, in Mendoza, 2021).
The parish was witness to the turbulent years of the native clergy from the year the Jesuits left Cavite in 1768 up to 1849 when a Royal Order or cedula reached Manila. Those years culminated in the ex*****on of Fathers Gomes, Burgos, and Zamora. These pressing years may have led to a new national awakening specifically, 1849 and 1861.
Two prominent members of the clergy figured prominently during these trying times – Fathers Mariano Gomes (de los Angeles) and Pedro Pelaez.
On March 9, 1849, a royal order was issued that mandated the handover of the parishes of Bacoor, Cavite Viejo (Kawit), and Silang to the Recollects and those of Santa Cruz (Tanza), San Francisco de Malabon ( General Trias), Naic, and Indang to the Dominicans (Blanco, 2010).

In Cavite, it was in 1848 that the presence of Recollects began. Though Cavite belonged to the Archdiocese of Manila and as such did not have a problem with a lack of Filipino clergy, some of its parishes were entrusted to the Recollects upon the request of the Recollect procurator Fr. Guillermo Agudo.
Significantly, most of the leaders of the revolution, including Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo, Baldomero Aguinaldo, Silvestre Legaspi, Crispulo Aguinaldo, Candido Tirona, and Emiliano Tria Tirona, were baptized in this church (Mendoza, 2011).

At present, the Parish of Saint Mary Magdalene is administering the spiritual needs of 71,441 Catholics (2021) in Kawit, Cavite. Its ecclesiastical jurisdiction covers Barangays Poblacion, Wakas I and Wakas II, Tabon I, II and III, Batong Dalig, Toclong, Gahak, Marulas, and Kaingen.
Binakayan became a separate parish in 1966. It was on May 13, 1966 that Bishop Artemio Casa signed the decree creating Binakayan as a separate parish. Fr. Paguilagan was appointed as its first parish priest in June 13, 1966.
Barangay chapels under the Parish are Divine Mercy, Sto. Nino, San Isidro Labrador, and Mary Help of Christians in Barangay Toclong; Batong Dalig Chapel, Barangay Batong Dalig; Divine Mercy, Barangay Gahak; Wakas Chapel, Barangay Wakas; and Saint Jude Thaddeus, Barangay Marulas Tramo.
The Church was declared a Diocesan Shrine on July 20, 2023, and is now officially referred to as the Sanctuario Diocesano y Iglesia Parroquial de Santa Maria Magdalena (Diocesan Shrine and Parish of St. Mary Magdalene).
It celebrated its first year as a Diocesan Shrine on July 20, 2024, and its 400 years of Evangelization on July 22, 2024, the Feast of its Patron, Saint Mary of Magdalene.
