Transfer of Cavite Capital to Imus

The decree orders the transfer to address popular clamor among the inhabitants of Cavite to move the provincial capital to a more accessible place to accelerate development.
The decree states that Trece Martires City remained inaccessible to public and failed to become the center of activities originally envisioned despite national and local government efforts.
The decree declares the necessity of providing the province of Cavite opportunities for social, economical and political development under the New Society.

Section 1 transfers the capital and seat of government of the Province of Cavite to the Municipality of Imus.
The transfer makes Imus the governing location for the provincial government’s capital and seat of government functions.
The decree’s effect is to replace the prior capital/seat location formerly placed in Trece Martires City by earlier law.

Section 2 designates Lot No. 4711 of the Imus Estate as the government center site for the Province of Cavite.
The designated lot becomes the specific site for the provincial government center within Imus.

Section 3 requires that expenses incurred in the transfer be taken from:
- the local government share in the national internal revenue allotment, and
- allocations by the national government to the Province of Cavite.

Section 4 repeals Section 39 of Republic Act No. 981, which transferred the capital and seat of government of the Province of Cavite to Trece Martires City.
Section 4 mandates that all other laws, decrees, rules, or regulations inconsistent with Presidential Decree No. 1163 are modified, amended, or repealed accordingly.
