Dasmariñas

Dasmariñas (Tagalog:), officially the City of Dasmariñas, is a component city in the province of Cavite, Philippines. According to the 2024 census, it has a population of 744,511 people. With a land area of 90.1 square kilometers (34.8 sq mi), it is the largest city both in terms of area and population in Cavite and the wealthiest local government unit in the province.

Being located just 10 kilometers (6 mi) from Imus and 30 kilometers (19 mi) south of Manila, the growing congestion and conurbation of Metro Manila has led to its rapid development in the late 1900s. This growth is manifested by the influx of major shopping malls, hospitals, universities, banks, industrial parks, and the growing number of residential subdivisions accommodating its growing population.
