Amadeo, Cavite Etymology



The town was named after King Amadeo I of Spain, the only Spanish king from the Italian House of Savoy. The town was previously known as Masilao (from Tagalog masilaw, "dazzling"), referring to the glaring red flowers of the dapdap plant (Erythrina variegata) common in the area. Amadeo is also known as the Coffee Capital of the Philippines.
