Many cities and municipalities in the Philippines have their own piece of moments to shine in their own right, and it is without question that the city of Bacoor in the province of Cavite may definitely be no exception. Who would have thought that an underrated city would be known for something that is something uncommon to many Filipino millennials today? 

Well, if you read the sports section of a reputable and well-known Filipino tabloid, then you would be surprised upon learning that the city government of Bacoor is making necessary preparations before gracing the city with some of the finest marching bands from around the world. And for those who want to make this simple, then you will now learn that the city of Bacoor is tapped to host the International Marching Band Competition which will be held next year. Apparently, you should wonder why the youngest city in one of the provinces that has a share in Philippine history become a beacon for marching bands.

At first, I only knew the city of Bacoor for having one of the oldest SM Supermalls in the Philippines way before its cityhood. Little did we know, the city is known for its enormous number of marching bands but the lack of equipment and government support were hindrances to the city's growth. This is where Strike Revilla comes in and make the city great beyond what you think.

Thanks to his efforts during his term as mayor of the city for nine years and now as congressman, marching band organizations in the Philippines recognize the city and it eventually became a land of marching opportunity due to its ongoing array of scholarship and livelihood programs to boot. And that is all I know about the city of Bacoor which will now be under the watchful eye of the marching band world. If you are not satisfied about this, then it should be time for you to make a visit to the city for yourself and maybe you should find the answers that you want to seek. Enjoy trailblazing the wonderful city of Bacoor, trubists!!
