Many legends surround its foundation, each more interesting than the last.
Perhaps it was once part of the mighty highland ridge that defined the region, broken down over time by the roaring winds into a mountain pass that conveyed its name—silang. That or its strategic location right of Cavite—silangan—gave rise to what it is called today, or maybe it was the birthplace—silanganan—of a faith that subscribed peace for its generations. Whatever it was, only the permeating eastern breeze carried certainty as it swept through the municipality with progress and promise over the years.
Falling in step with Tagaytay City, the municipality of Silang, Cavite, enjoys the same temperate climate and lush greenery its well-known neighbor is famous for. Where the much-loved weekend escape distinctly flourishes is where Silang thrives with an understated charm, from a number of resorts that make the most of the regional natural attractions, as well as quaint towns that seem to reel one in.
Unlike other parts of Cavite, Silang is yet to have its brush with industrialization, its sprawling coffee and pineapple plantations broken by exotic flower fields and seasonal produce offerings. The clean air still brings the tang of passed-on cuisine and traditions handed over, soothing the senses and bringing tranquility into one’s fold.
Vista Land, the Philippines leading integrated property developer, through its collection of master planned developments called Vista Estates, has long realized that many Filipinos and their families will find living in Silang, Cavite a dream realized. Its location is not only perfect for one’s dream home, but it also makes for an attractive vacation home where the charms of Tagaytay City are immediately accessible. Here, one can sigh in relief against the vast spaces where chilly air is ever present and bask in the beauty of nature.
Introducing Zentria by Vista Land.
Perched on the same mountainside as the famed tourist destination, Silang, Cavite is called The Gateway to Tagaytay. A first-class municipality spanning 47 kilometers south of Manila, the town is landlocked to the north by General Trias, Dasmariñas, General Mariano Alvarez, and Carmona, Biñan, Santa Rosa, and Cabuyao, Laguna to the east, Amadeo to the west, and Tagaytay City to the south. Silang has stood through time, from being one of the first barangays founded by Bornean datus to being an encomienda bought by its townsfolk from the Spanish crown.
Virtually free from monsoon flooding and sharing the same brisk, sought-after cool climes as Tagaytay City, the local economy of Silang, Cavite, relies on a cornucopia of agricultural produce such as coconut, coffee, pineapple, and mango. Animal husbandry is also a source of income among its locals, with several backyards and established farms distributed within the rural areas.
The 37-hectare master planned development, Zentria, follows the traditions of Japanese Zen architecture.
Silang can be accessed through land travel and has the potential to become a hub for agricultural products, with major road networks connecting it to the provinces of Laguna and Batangas. Commuters are assured of a smooth two-hour travel time from Manila through Aguinaldo Highway, Santa Rosa-Silang-Tagaytay Road, Governor’s Drive, and Cavite-Laguna Expressway (CALAX).
Rising on prime land along Aguinaldo Highway, at the crossroads of Silang and Tagaytay City, is the 37-hectare master-planned development Zentria. Following the traditions of Japanese Zen architecture, Zentria covers the same number of elements in its design to bring harmony into the lives of its residents.
