Before giving directions to
Tagaytay, did you know the origin of Tagaytay's name? Tagaytay is actually an
old Tagalog word for ridge, being a place on a ridge of an ancient caldera,
similar to Taytay town in Rizal province that also sits on a ridge. Should you
know anyone living in Tagaytay such a government official, please inform
him/her that the Tagaytay legend of the "taga, Itay" is just not true
and unfounded, something the people of Tagaytay falsely celebrate with a
re-enactment during the Araw ng Tagaytay celebration on June 21.
Tagaytay's primary tourist
attraction is Taal Volcano, the smallest volcano in the world, besides its cold
weather that appeals to Manila denizens escaping the searing summer sun.
