There’s nothing refined about the Cavite art
scene. It’s raw, gritty, and flawed—art in its
most visceral form. You’d be hard-pressed
to find fancy galleries in this part of the
south. You only find art if you look for it,
because it’s presence isn’t declared, but
only alluded to by roadside graffiti and word
of mouth.

Arts that are found inside of cavite are the

following: Battle of Binakayan Monument,
Nuestra Señora de la Soledad de Porta
Vaga, and Lakbay ng Lakan (Cavite)
