What is "imus"

Imus, officially the City of Imus , is the de jure capital city of the province of Cavite in the Philippines. The former municipality was officially converted into a city following a referendum on June 30, 2012. Based on the 2010 local government unit (LGU) income of Imus, the former town is classified as a first-class component city of Cavite with a population of 301,624 people according to the 2010 census.

Located about south of Metro Manila, Imus was the site of two major Katipunero victories during the Philippine Revolution against Spain. The Battle of Imus was fought on September 3, 1896 and the Battle of Alapan, on May 28, 1898, the day when the first Philippine flag was flown making Imus the "Flag Capital of the Philippines". Both events are celebrated annually in the city. The Imus Historical Museum honors the city's history with historical reenactment of scenes from the revolution.

Imus is also the religious center of Cavite as the see of the Diocese of Imus, which is coterminus with the province. The city hosts Imus Cathedral, which is under the patronage of the canonically-crowned Nuestra Señora del Pilar de Imus ( Our Lady of the Pillar of Imus). The city served as the host diocese during the 5th Asian Youth Day on November 20–27, 2009.
