Cavinti, Laguna
Cavinti
is a
municipality
in the outskirts of the
province
of
Laguna
in the
Philippines
and is situated in the foothills of Sierra Madre Mountain Ranges. The town's name came from the
Tagalog
expression,
"kabit sa binti"
. The
Aetas
, the early dwellers of the land, performed a wedding ritual, in which the groom chases his bride to the riverbank. The groom will try to capture his bride to her legs (
"binti"
), with the witnesses shouting,
"Kabit sa binti, kabit sa binti!"
This phrase later became "Kabinti"; hence the name.
