Silang is noted for its relatively cool and invigorating climate. Silang Cavite is mostly an agricultural town . The primary crops grown in the area are coconut, coffee, corn, banana, pineapple, and tree crops like mango, lansones, caimito, santol, jackfruit, guava, and avocado. Fertile soils and abundant water sources make Silang suitable not only for common commercial crops but also for high value and exotic crops production.

Climate
The town Is located in the mountainous region of Cavite therefore the climate is relatively cool than the rest of the low lying areas in the province.  in the morning expect a sunny slightly hot climate most especially at noon time but the cool mountain air blowing would make it very conducive site for learning.  Since it is already November nighttime would be much colder most especially in the early morning or at dawn.  Bringing of heavy clothing gear is not recommended, wind jammers or sweaters will suffice.  Also it is recommended if you could bring an umbrella during your stay since most of the time it rains during the afternoons.
