Located on a large area that is shared by Rosario and General Trias, the Cavite Economic Zone is the bread and butter of hundreds of thousands of employees. A lot of manufacturing plants and offices are housed in this zone. At the moment, most office personnel are still working at home, but the manufacturing plants are on-going operations, some with safety precautions like shuttles and protective gears provided.

Most Holy Rosary Parish

Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary Parish, Rosario

Formerly known as Salinas, the town of Rosario is named after it's patroness, the Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary. Unlike other parishes in the province, this church features a lower ceiling and newer features since the town of Rosario is quite young in age.

Once a barrio or a baranggay of San Francisco de Malabon (now General Trias), the town of Rosario was formerly known as Salinas-Marsella, named for its salt industry during the Spanish colonial era.  Sal is the Spanish word for salt while Mar pertains to the sea in which the town is in close proximity with. Before the end of the Spaniard regime on the islands, the town was later named Rosario to give reverence to it's town patroness which is also known as Virgen del Rosario de Caracol.

The term caracol on the other hand (or karakol in Tagalog) which is a Spanish word for snail, is a prayer-dance ritual by Filipino Catholics which is still in practice during town fiestas in Rosario and other nearby towns.
