History

The former Governor's Palace in the walled Cavite Nuevo (present-day Cavite City).
New Cavite Provincial Capitol in Trece Martires where the governor's office is located

During most part of the Spanish colonial era, Cavite was administered by the alcalde mayor, who was the representative of the governor and captain-general in Manila. As the alter ego of the Governor-General, the alcalde mayor exercised over all executive, judicial, and legislative functions of Cavite. By the Decree dated June 25, 1847, the title of alcalde mayor was changed to politico-military governor. This time, judicial functions were stripped off from the chief executive. Col. Fernando Pargas was the last Spanish politico-military governor of Cavite before three Filipino politico-military governors assumed the position during the First Philippine Republic.[1]
