History

Boundary Landmark arch of Carmona next to Biñan, Laguna

Maduya was only a sitio of Barrio Latag, the old name of Carmona town when it was still a barrio of the municipality of Silang, Cavite. The sitio was composed of only five houses inhabited by twelve families. On February 20, 1857, Carmona became a municipality and in turn, sitio Maduya was relegated into a barrio.

Etymology

The term Maduya came from the word "Maruya", a fritter made from rice flour with sliced saba banana, fried, and consumed as merienda snacks. Most inhabitants can cook the snack and were peddled around the town attracting customers by shouting "Maruya". Eventually, the vendors were shouting "Maduya", which became the name of the barrio.[5]

These investments continue to provide local employment, generate export earnings, increase municipal revenues and serve as vehicles for technology transfer. Foreign investments are pouring in as export-oriented industries continue to flourish.
