General Emilio Aguinaldo (formerly Bailen; Filipino: Heneral Emilio Aguinaldo) is a municipality in the province of Cavite, Philippines. According to the 2015 census, it has a population of 22,220 people, and an income classification of fifth class.
The municipality was named after Emilio Aguinaldo, the president of the First Philippine Republic. The municipality reverted its name to Bailen after the Provincial Board approved Committee Report 118-2012 on September 3, 2012. It is however yet to be ratified.
General Emilio Aguinaldo is located 82 kilometres (51 mi) from Metro Manila. It is bordered to the north and east by the town of Maragondon, by Alfonso to the south, and Magallanes to the west.
Bailen is politically subdivided into 14 barangays (4 urban, 10 rural).
The municipality of General Emilio Aguinaldo used to be a separate Catholic parish in the town of adjacent Maragondon. It was founded by virtue of a decree issued on August 28, 1857 by Archbishop Fray Aranguren, OSA, of the Archdiocese of Manila. The decree separated the barrios of Batas and Guyong-guyong from the town of Maragondon, naming the new parish Bailen. It is recounted that a group of citizens from Barrio Batas petitioned Spanish Governor-General Fernando Norzagaray to convert their barrio into a municipality because of its distance from the town proper. Giving due course to the petition, the Spanish Governor approved the request on August 2, 1858.
