Angeles University Foundation Medical Center
http://www.aufmc.net.ph/images/hospital1.jpg

The Angeles University Foundation Medical Center (AUFMC), located at MacArthur Highway, Angeles City, Philippines, was blessed and inaugurated on February 23, 1990 and was opened to serve the community on May 25, 1990.
Through the hospital loan program of the Social Security System (SSS), a soft loan of P35 million was obtained to finance the construction of the six-storey concrete building, payable in 20 years. This was


front facade of AUFMC made possible through the efforts of SSS Administrator, Mr. Jose L. Cuisia, Jr. To finance the acquisition of various hospital equipment, P16.5 million bridge financing loan was granted by the Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP), upon recommendation of DBP Chairman, Dr. Jesus P. Estanislao. Additional equipment, furniture and supplies were received as donations from ten (10) hospitals in California, USA. Furthermore, AUFMC won the bid in the acquisition of the entire 300-bed St. Anthony Family Medical Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, which was foreclosed for financial reasons.

With this background, the AUFMC has become the first and only private teaching, training and research hospital north of Metro Manila, duly licensed by the Department of Health, with an authorized 150-bed capacity. It offers Residency Training Programs in the Departments of Medicine, Pediatrics, Obstetrics & Gynecology, Surgery, and Pathology & Laboratory Medicine. Furthermore, it serves as venue for the clinical exposure of the students of the AUF Colleges of Medicine, Nursing, and Allied Medical Professions (Medical Technology, Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy).

A service-oriented hospital, the AUFMC has a Service Ward which provides free room accommodation with meals, free professional fees, free basic Operating/Delivery Room fees and maximum discount on medicines, supplies and diagnostic work-ups. Majority of its indigent patients are victims of Mt. Pinatubo’s eruption in 1991 who are referred by the Barangay Social Workers assigned to the different Resettlement Areas while others are referred by the Angeles City Mayor’s Office or partly subsidized by the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office.

Organized as a stock corporation in 1986, the AUFMC was converted into a non-stock, non-profit medical foundation through the amendment of its Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on November 6, 1998 under SEC Registration No. 130921.

Dude, calm down a bit; they're yanking your chain to get a rise out of you. e mu la masyadung pansinan banta e da ka akapali. kamusta na ang AUF, i finished GRCO there a while back; ang pagkaalam ko ginawa ng 4 year degree ang 2 year technical course na to. nanu ya ing buring sabyan ning BSIT? mahilig din ako sa computer, kaya curious lang; sensya na.

:lol: basta aku angelian ku ngeni thomasian na...

naasar lng ako sa Holy angel Univ. the last time i went which is 3 yrs ago pa (sa loob ha..) ayaw ba naman akong papasukin. anong use ng pagbibigay nila ng alumni card kung di rin pala pwede gamitin...haaay!!! tapos that year lng ako nag graduate ng highschool... :D

there's nothing wrong with the schools in Angeles, all of them have good teachings and courses to offer; it's up to the person what he/she is going to get out of it. e ta la dapat i-compare, male mu teacher pala ing prublem about the teachings; ala ne mang prublem ing school. megaral ku naman keng Holy kanitang HAC ya pa, electrical gingineer ne man ing kukwanan ku sana; but i had to leave. and if thomasian is what you would call somebody from UST, that too is a good school; that's where my better half finished psychology, but she can't out-smart a gizmo-geek. and my high school, well i went to RCC (republic central cabaret); that's what they used to call it back then, hope that changed.

;10429875']di ba sa Angeles ang origins ng SISIG? ano pinagkaiba nun sa ordinary sisig?

the difference is - that the so-called ordinary sisig did come from pampanga, ang ibat-ibang style na lang ang ginagawa sa ibang lugar trying to copy the original (secret) recepie. don't ask me what that recepie is, it's so secret - i don't even know it.:nuts:

Ang alam ko Sisig as we know it today ay iba sa Sisig noon. I mean noon malawak ang variety ng Sisig (hanggang ngayon pa naman siguro) may sisig na mangga at iba pa. At ang sisg na alam natin ngayon ay nagsimula (more likely sa Angeles) noong nasa-Clark pa ang mga Amerikano.

How did I know? we used to co-owned the Aling Lucing's Sisig in Robinson Starmills pero sa pinsan na ito ngayon ng step-mother ko.

From Wikipedia

Sisig is the Kapampangan term which means to snack on something sour. It usually refers to fruits, often unripe or half-ripe, sometimes dipped in salt and vinegar. It also refers to a method of preparing fish and meat, especially pork, which is marinated in a sour liquid such as lemon juice or vinegar, then seasoned with salt, pepper and other spices

Sisig as is popularly known today is actually sizzling sisig, a Philippine dish made from parts of pig’s head and usually seasoned with kalamansi or chili peppers.

The dish is said to have originated from locals who bought unused pig heads from the commissaries of nearby Clark Air Base. Pig heads were bought cheap since they are not used in preparing meals for the U.S. Air Force personnel stationed there. However, a more accurate explanation is just an innovation on the old recipe, which is pork ears and jowl, boiled, chopped then marinated.

The pig's head is first boiled to remove the hairs and to tenderize it. Afterwhich, it is chopped and grilled/broiled. It is then fried with onions and served on a sizzling plate.

Variations of sisig can add any of the following: eggs, ox brains, chicharon (pork cracklings), pork or chicken liver, and even mayonnaise.

Recently, local chefs have experimented with ingredients other than pork such as chicken, squid, tuna and even tofu, which brings sisig back to its origins.

if that's how the sisig got started, i'll bite; it makes sense. i thought it started sa crossing, or did they just popularized it; anyway it's really damn good with beer.

and tungkol sa white hooded lady of AUF, if real - cool. we need something to keep our mind pre-occupied with things that could be interesting, i'd like to experience it though; we shouldn't fear something that could not do any physical harm to us, we should be wary about people that could.:evil:

The 4th Sisig Festival will be held at SM Clark on December 1st & 2nd.

^^Wow! SISIG! I love that dish! Pano namang di magiging FAILURE ang Tigtigan eh tinaggal na yung main essence niya nung dinala siya sa MALL. Dapat strictly sa KALYE lang. Thanks SM, sinira mo ang isang taon ng Tigtigan's history!

Ah oyta, very very OK naman sa AUF ngayon. May bago nang Professional Schools building, yung Sidegate pareho paren, yung AUFMC bagong pintura, may bagong ipatatayong 10-storey medical building, lumiit lalo yung gym, bawal na lumabas sa front gate before 5pm, may overpass na from PS to Main Building, may fences sa harap na nagdidivide sa road, may Jolibee at GoNuts Donuts sa tabi-tabi, uso yung Japanese Cakes, yung Cultural Competitons lalong mahal, yung The Pioneer lugmok sa eskandalo, di na OSAA OIC si Ma'am Soriano, ayun basta dati paren, mas GLOBAL nalang sila ngayon, daming Koreano eh.

BSIT>> Bachelor of Science in Information Technology. Kung Computer SCience more on the programming side, kami ang sa applications nitong programming nato sa lahat ng aspeto ng buhay. AI, Multimedia, pati nga business applications meron.

Siya nga pala kaya galit ako kasi may PREFERENTIAL OPTION sa mga Nursing students.

I heard na naglabas din ng mga lamesa ang mga establishments doon sa orihinal na venue nito (MacArthur Hi-way, Balibago) at mas kumita pa daw ata sila.

My lola (former City Tourism Officer and headed the first years of Tigtigan) and My dad (na kabilang sa mga nag-conceptualize at nagpatakbo ng Tigtigan) are both dismayed by the failure of Tigtigan. Kasi naman ma-epal ang mga nagpapatakbo ngayon ng Tigtigan na sila ring mga epal na nasalikod ng pamumuno ni Tarzan. Thanks to tita Janet and IC nag-flop ito.

ating makabalu nung ati yu pa ing APO Church:? maluat na kung e mi banda ka rin. or was it called the lourdes church? 2 old classmates of mine used to live around there zabala and espenida.


yup!!! may APO pa hanggang ngayon every friday... :D

eto pic ng APO... interior ng church... pinipilahan pa rin ung sa taas nya...

nakakagutom naman yang sisig na nilagay nyo, na-mi-miss ko tuloy ang inuman sa crossing.


laki pala ng pinag-bago ng Apo, it really looks nice inside ngayon; thanx. the pila upstairs is to pray upon the laying christ, right?

@Culiat yung tigtigan, is or was that a restaurant? and if it was your lola who ran it first and 'twas your dad's idea to start it, how come they're not running it now? tindi ng galit mo kay tarzan, is he the vinegar maker of angeles?

^^ puro tiangge pa rin sa labas at mas crowded na sya.. at yung pila nga para dun sa laying christ...

ung tigtigan yun ung celebration sa angeles na "tigtigan terakan, na dati sa kalsada ng balibago... pero ngayon ginawa na may area ng SM clark ata...

Made me hungry. Too bad we don't have any... :cry:
You can always whip up your own.
I go to Angeles every one to two months and if in-between my trips I hanker for sisig, then I'll DIY.
Sometimes I substitute the porker with chicken. Not bad..... :)

hopefully it will be successful, unlike the recent Tigtigan :(
I'm sure it will be.
I heard it first hand that last year's was a roaring success.

ung tigtigan yun ung celebration sa angeles na "tigtigan terakan, na dati sa kalsada ng balibago... pero ngayon ginawa na may area ng SM clark ata...


that's what i thought it was, pero i wasn't sure. 'coz "tigtigan" means music playing whether live or not, pero kung outdoors yan - live ba ang band. san sa balibago ginagawa? taga 3rd street ako date, but that was years ago. if it was like a fiesta type of celebration, balibago could still have their own tigtigan version; barrio style. kelangan lang talaga ng organizer, change the name and make it interesting; just don't do it at the same time sm is doing theirs, kase baka ma-zero sa guesting (less crowd ba). nakaka-inggit naman, anong month ba ginagawa yang tigtigan? para ma-experience ko naman.

Tama si Ishtef tigtigan is basically a street party, TTKD kung tawagain "tigtigan terakan keng dalan" literally: Tugtugan Sayawan sa Daan.

Yung galit ko or inis is more on Tarzan's daughter, Tita Janet, kasi sa madaling salita ginamit lang nila ang dad ko. Nung makita ni Janet na nagiging-threat na sa kanya ang dad ko ay siniraan niya ito kay Tarzan. Actually all these years she was just waiting for something to spark it up. So yun she found a way to launch a black-propaganda against my dad with all these false accusations. Kung meron mang kumita sa local government eh sina tita Janet yun. Hindi na nga kumikobo dad ko eh binaliktad pa ito. Ni wala ngang kinikita dad ko bukod doon sa sweldo niya at sa pakonti-konting family business. Then yung bahay pa namin eh parang baranggay hall sa pagpunta ng mga taong nangangailangan. Kung kumita mana ng dad ko edi sana nasa Pilipinas ako ngayon at hindi dito sa mom ko (hiwalay na kasi sila). At eto pa ang ikinasasama ng loob ko, yung mga taong tumulong kay tita Janet laban kay Papa eh pawang mga taong tinulungan lang noon ng aking ama. I mean my dad was the one who taught them how to best serve the public. Sa mga panahon na wala sila eh laging sa Dad ko ang takbo. Pag amy problema, sus ilan na nga ung muntik nang maghiwalayan na magaasawa pero narersolve pa rin, ilan na rin yung mga naghihirap na natulungan niyang maka-angat. ngayon karamihan ng mga naiwang idea ng dad ko ay inangkin nila, yun nga lang palpak naman sila sa pag e-execute nito.

Nung magre-resign na dad ko (ilang months din siyang ginigipit, as in hino-hold ang sweldo niya pati ng pinsan[isolated sa staff ng dad ko] at step-mom ko) marami sa anyang staff ang nagbantang sasabay sa pagreresign niya (something that may cause a serious damage sa city-gov't) pero pinigilan sila ng dad ko. Kasi kung sabi ni papa, kung siaya lang ang magre-resign eh ayos lang tutal he can still survive, I mean he has other option. pero kung sasabay yung staff niya eh mahihirapan silang maghanap ng ibang work. I also asked my dad na "why not expose what he knows" eh napagalitan pa'ko, sabi niya eh kawawa naman daw yung mga maliliit na empleyadong maapektuhan (which is true). At the end kapakanan pa rin ng mga tao iniisip niya. Kaya eto kami ngayon, step-mom ko saka sister eh nasa pinas. Ako andito kasama mom ko and family niya. Si Papa naman ayun doon sa Italy nagtratrabaho. Kung sabagay sanay na rin ako sa dumi ng pulitka sa Pinas, somewhat similar cases also happened to my Lola (mom's side) under naman kay tito ed (Pamintuan).

uy ang haba na pala nito hehe... :D

About Tarzan, you won't even see him at his office. Nakakatawa nga eh parang Oval Office lang ng White House yung office niya sa Mayor's office na talagang ginagamit lang for occasional purposes. Naalala ko tuloy nung bata pa'ko eh nakakapaglaro pa'ko sa office niya ng walang nakakaalam. Naka-upo nako at nabuksan ko na desk niya (na panay pen at paperclips o office supplies lang ang laman) na kalkal ko na mga Pix niya with Erap (who was the President at that time) and pix with Gloria, etc... Nakakapasok ako dun thru my dad's office, from the back-door of his office I sneek to the conference room and from there I proceed to Tarzan's office. eto sinamahan ko pa ng sketch hehe...

Yung green eh yung route ko from my dad's office. Sometimes pag wala si tita Janet eh dun ako sa red route dumadaan hehe...

More youth in C. Luzon involved in drug use, sex: group
By Joel P. Mapiles
Sun Star Pampanga

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO -- In Central Luzon alone, more young people aged 15 to 24 years old -- who constitute 19.6 percent of the total youth population -- are engaged in different risky activities such as smoking, drug use, and sex.

This was revealed during the Regional Pag-asa Youth Associations of the Philippines (PYAP) Assembly, which was attended by more than 600 out-of-school youths (OSYs) from Bataan, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga, Zambales and other cities in the region.

The report was based on the Young Adult Fertility and Sexuality Study (Yafs 3) conducted by the University of the Philippines Population Institute (UPPI) and Demographic Research and Development Foundation (DRDI) with funding assistance from Lucile Packard Foundation (LPF).

The regional assembly of the OSYs with a theme: "Ikaw, Ako, Tayong Lahat, Magtulungan para sa Ikauunlad ng Kabataan," was spearheaded by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) regional office led by Regional Director Margarita Sampang and Assistant Regional Director Adelina Apostol and PYAP focal person Elena Carreon and regional information officer Evelyn Manalo.

During the open forum, it was bared that pre-marital sex (PMS) activities increased from 16.3 to 21.4 percent, with the activity higher among males and among members of the older aged 20 to 24 years old. PMS among young males increased from 24 percent in 1994 to 29 percent in 2002. The figures for females rose from nine percent to 16 percent.

Mayor Oscar Rodriguez, who graced the occasion, urged the youth to mirror themselves and give change a space for their future.

"You should instead focus yourselves on doing worthwhile activities such as giving priority to education and productivity," he asked the youth.

He told the OSYs that he was once a poor boy from a barrio who took poverty not as a barrier but a challenge to become successful in life and to go for progress.

Because of his desire to help the young, Rodriguez said he initiated a scholarship program for the OSYs who belong to the poorest of the poor. He said these OSYs are now attending night classes.

He noted that the importance of education as being the key to change and a brighter future. He advised the youth to strengthen unity and camaraderie among their associations to ensure success in all their undertakings.

Sampang, for her part, urged the OSYs to become more productive. She advised the youth to empower themselves through their collective efforts in decision making as she also encouraged them to share for the improvement of their group.

She also challenged the youth to actively involve themselves in the undertakings of their organization.

Ing Taluîng Batiáuan

With the destruction of the most ancient town of Bacolor, the cultural and historical seat of the entire Kapampangan Nation, and the looming precariousness of the economically booming town of San Fernando - Angeles City's sure safety from Mount Pinatubo's destructive mudflows has finally put her into focus: Would she now take upon her shoulders the honour of becoming the seat of Kapampangan culture?

It is the unfortunate gift of citihood that Angeles has become politically and economically separated from Pampanga. A growing number of young Añgeleños have come to understand this as an essential separation as well: That Angeles must severe its ties from the rest of Pampanga; and that her identity should no longer continue to remain Kapampangan.

But Angeles City's political separation is not a separation of essences, but a mere accident of being: The heart and soul of Angeles was and is essentially Kapampangan. Political separation does not entail ethnic and cultural separation.

Geographically speaking, Angeles City lies at the very heart of the Kapampangan Nation, a nation whose influence stretches from the barrios northeast of the town-capital of Tarlac all the way down to the coastal barrios of Mabatang and Calaguiman in the towns of Samal and Abucay of the province of Bataan.

Sun Tzu's Art of War states that to effectively destroy a kingdom one must attack it not only from without but, most importantly, also from within. The Kapampangan Nation has constantly been under attack from without.

At the coming of the Spaniards, the Kapampangan Nation occupied almost the entire stretch of the Central Plains of Luzon. Then, throughout the centuries, provinces were carved out of her vast territories: Governor-General Simon de Anda gave the lands of Burakan and Tundû to loyal Tagalogs displaced by the Brittish invasion of and eventually became the province of Bulacan; Another governor-general carved out the entire province of Nueva Ecija to become his own personal hunting ground; Bataan was separated so as to facilitate the governance of its west coast; and Tarlac was organised as a commandancia politico-militar to pacify the northern frontiers and eventually became a separate province.

The Kapampangan Nation was finally reduced to a tiny province and a few scattered towns. Yet the assault continues from without. In a population survey conducted in 1980, the number of Kapampangan speakers dwindled to about 66.7 percent in Candaba and to 74.5 percent in Tarlac, Tarlac. The survival level of a language group in a given area is seventy five percent.

But the assault from within had already begun. The number of Kapampangan speakers in Angeles City in 1980 was only 76.8 percent. The number continues to decrease. If the Kapampangan Nation is to survive, it must prevent an attack from within. If the core caves in, then the rest of it crumbles until it totally disappears.

One sensible move is to pass a legislation declaring Kapampangan as Angeles City's official language. Another is to encourage the revival of her rich Kapampangan cultural heritage in schools and the local media.

Angeles City owes it not to the province of Pampanga alone to remain Kapampangan; Angeles City owes it to the entire Kapampangan Nation to remain Kapampangan; To the Kapampangans fortunate enough to remain here, and to the unfortunate Kapampangans shipped to the Visayas, Mindanao, or even abroad.

A BETRAYAL OF HOPE

Clark Airforce Base was the paradox of love and hate in the heart of the Kapampangan Nation. Kapampangans, especially those from Angeles and Mabalacat, loved it because it gave them jobs, goods, cash, and style; But most Kapampangans hated it because it was an abomination.

It was an abomination because it was a mighty alien fortress within a host nation that can not defend itself.

It was an abomination because it was a nest of giant cash-wielding, free-spending kabalat kapáyâ foreign monsters who could afford to have a goodtime amidst the widespread suffering and poverty of its short raddish-skinned host.

It was an abomination because it was an infringement of the Kapampangan's sovereignty: It was a foreign base on Kapampangan soil!

So, inspite of all the tears shed on lost jobs, lost cash, lost goods, and lost style when the Americans finally pulled out in November of 1992, there was also an equal if not a greater amount of relief and hope for the Pinatubo ravaged Kapampangan: "Salamat at misublî ne quecatámu iñg Clark!" At last, Clark is ours again!

But to which Kapampangan does the "we" in that word "ours" refer to? The old rich families like the Hensons of Angeles and the De Guzmans of Mabalacat who still claim to have titles to the land grabbed by the Americans, or the poor ancient Aita families who swear by Apung Namalyari Kûn Támu that the land was theirs since time immemorial even before the rich Angeles and Mabalacat gentry grabbed them with pieces of paper signed by the court in unintellegible Spanish?

For most Kapampangans however, Clark, with its vast tract of potential agricultural lands and well furnished housing areas, was the perfect resettlement site for all the lahar ravaged Kapampangan Families of Bacolor, Porac, Angeles, Mabalacat, and Bamban. It would have been the ideal womb for the rebirth of a new and prosperous Kapampangan Nation.

That hope was sooner betrayed. Clark was not to be in Kapampangan hands; Not to the old rich Families of Angeles and Mabalacat, not to the ancient Aita families who swear by Mount Pinatúbû, and most especially not to the thousands of lahar ravaged Kapampangans.

While the rest of the Kapampangan region slowly died of hunger, disease and homelessness, Clark was looted, rumours have it, by domestic foreigners in Philippine Airforce uniforms.

While Kapampangans were forced to lived in tents without decent sanitation, water or electricity, these domestic foreigners in uniform lived with their families in the comfort of the US furnished base housing units, with clean water and free electricity.

While thousands of Kapampangan families were forcibly torn from the embrace of their Indûng Tibuan so as to be resettled in the jungles of Bukidnon and Mindoro, these domestic foreigners in uniforms hauled in the rest of their families from the Visayas or the Ilocos to live off Clark.

What Gordon did to Subic, the mayors of Mabalacat and Angeles could not do. When the Tagalog government in Manila put Clark under the management of the Clark Development Corporation [CDC], the Kapampangans, or what is left of them after the forced diaspora, were again promised new hope. The new Clark was to generate new jobs.

The first thing the CDC did however was open up duty free shops which maimed the surviving local economy. As a coup de grace, the next thing it did was import non-Kapampangan labour.

Clark was once a paradox of love and hate in the heart of the Kapampangan Nation. Now, all it could be is a paragon of hate. For Clark remains an abomination. It is not only a symbol of the betrayal of the hopes of the Kapampangan Nation, but all the more, it remains a foreign base within Kapampangan soil.

Keep Kapampangan lands in Kapampangan hands!

Kapampangan ya ing Angeles!

The number of Kapampangan speakers in Angeles City continue to dwindle through the years. The 1980 census listed the number of Kapampangan speakers to only about 76.8 percent. The survival level of any language group in a given area is seventy five percent. No new surveys have yet been made recently but the results may only be too obvious.

It is an obvious fact that Angeles City's population is teeming with a great variety of foreigners, both international and domestic - Australians, Germans, Ilocanos, Visayans, etc. - who contribute hugely to the coffers of the government. For the sake of cosmopolitanism, local economists and politicians argue, Angeles City must inevitably shed her Kapampangan Identity.

But cosmopolitanism, if it were to become a reality, can not just remain floating in midair. It has to take firm root; rooted to the very ground and culture of its given area. Cosmopolitanism, if it were to become real for Angeles City, has to be firmly rooted to her distinct Kapampangan Identity.

Local businessmen and politicians here envy Olongapo and Subic for their miraculous recovery. If Angeles has to have an edge over Subic and Olongapo's scenic beaches, these would have to be her colourful history, her people's distinct character, and her rich Kapampangan Heritage. Olongapo and Subic have no cultural heritage to speak of but faded lust, abandoned half-breeds, and Gordon.

Local businessmen and politicians here marvel and ape Cebu's economic boom. Unknown to them, the Cebuanos have no one else to thank but their own stubborness to remain Cebuano as well as the unique way they used their cultural heritage as capital. If anyone else in the Philippines had successfully copied the Japanese in utilising culture and identity as capital to boost their economy, the Cebuanos would be it. Despite her cosmopolitanism, Cebu remains solidly Cebuano. Her artificial market economy would never have gained ground were it not for its distinctive Cebuano flavour.

In contrast, Angeles City's businessmen-politicians are no longer the hard working, patient, farsighted Kapampangan entrepreneurs of the past who were deeply rooted to their Indûng Tibuan, but are now of the new breed of flotsams - shortsighted, fastbuck opportunists out for a quick and easy profit - which litter the entire Philippine business scene. Unpatriotic and self-serving, these businessmen-politicians continue to import cheap Visayan labour inspite of the increasing number of their unemployed cabalen. Self-serving because these cheap imported Visayan labourers are valuable added voting assets.

The new breed of Angeles Kapampangan is a little bit of a show-off, yet ironically, he is well too easy to please his thankless foreign guests. Never mind if speaking Cebuano is a must to get efficient service in Cebu, or speaking Tagalog if you were in Manila, or speaking Ilocano in Baguio (plus an added stabbing or beating if you are caught speaking Kapampangan), in Angeles City, the Kapampangan Añgéleño speaks the language of the guest...You don't have to learn Kapampangan! Is this being too civilised? Or is it subservience? If the Kapampangan Añgeleño has to learn anything from history, it would be the dictum that made Rome, the most cosmopolitan of all ancient cities, great: "When in Rome, do as the Romans do."

Kapampangan ning Angeles, magpa-Kapampangan kayu!

Gabun-Daî-Amánu: Trinitarian Elements of Kapampangan Identity

Like the losing pieces on a checkerboard, every rainy season cascading mudflows eat up one historic Kapampangan town after another. If there was one thing that would dampen the Kapampangan's proverbial sense of superiority, this would have to be it.

The Kapampangan was never the same after Mount Pinatubo. In rehabilitating the lahar-ravaged region, some government and non-government agencies thought it best to transplant thousands of lahar-stricken families to Mindoro, the Visayas, and Mindanao. A congressman from one of the Kapampangan districts countered that this action would kill the Kapampangan rather than save him. Yet how could the measure be tantamount to killing when it was obviously meant to save lives? So the agencies went on with their projects. Kapampangan families were sent to Mindoro, Bukidnon, and, as the Abu Sayyaf confirmed, to Basilan. Perhaps the comment was just another ploy in the never-ending game of politics.

Kapampangan is an ideology. The name was derived from the vernacular pangpangan which roughly means "the river banks," and ka- which is used as a prefix to denote immensity, as in the words kabuntuk and kayárung [árung being "nose" hence "having an immense nose"]. Roughly translated, Kapampangan means "Greater Pampañgan," which would include portions of Tarlac, Bataan, Nueva Ecija and Bulacan.

However, the term [b]Kapampangan is applied not only to the name of the place, but the people and language as well. Indeed, it is this trinity of Indûng Tíbuan [gabun/land], Daî [tau/people], and Amánung Sísuan [amánu/language] which make up the Kapampangan identity. These three elements are inseparably one and the same. To take one from the other would yield not a Kapampangan.

To demonstrate this metaphysical concept: To a full blooded Kapampangan, a person who speaks Kapampangan who is not of the race nor of the land is nothing more but an overstaying alien; The latter is not qualified to be a Kapampangan. In another instance, a person who is of the land and of the race but can not speak Kapampangan disqualifies himself. As a few fullblooded second generation "Kapampangans" living in Manila proudly declares in Tagalog: "Ang tatay at nanay ko Kapampangan pero kami Tagalog na." Our parents are Kapampangans but we are now Tagalogs.

Kapampangan is an ideology. The congressman was right in one way. The concerned agencies may be saving lives, but they are not saving the Kapampangan. By uprooting the Kapampangan from his Indûng Tibuan, they are unwittingly extracting one essential element of his identity. One of these elements can not be without the other two. By uprooting the Kapampangan from his Indûng Tibuan, they are unwittingly destroying his identity. The destruction of his identity is the destruction of the Kapampangan.

Whose lives are being saved then? Kapampangan lives? When a Kapampangan is sent to Mindoro, Mindanao, or the Visayas he brings with him the language of his birth but it will eventually be demanded of him to use the language of the new place. His offsprings would eventually find no need to keep using Kapampangan. In the succession of a generation or two, the new environment shall have completed its work in destroying the Kapampangan strain. What we will have are a breed of Visayans sporting surnames like Macapagal, Lapid, Manaloto, Galura, Lacsamana, Tayag, or Pamintuan.

If Mount Pinatubo does not let up with its havoc, and if the ultimate solution for the Kapampangan is egress, then the Kapampangan would finally cease to be.

KALADUA: Root of the Agrarian Problem in Pampanga and the Essence of Kapampañgan Nationalism

The Kapampangan has always been touchy when it comes to the question concerning land. His history has been marked in blood by social unrest that has its roots in the agrarian problem. Even now with the eruption of Bunduk Pinatúbû, thousands would rather have themselves buried in lahar than be removed from their lands. As a result, both past and present, the Kapampangan region has always been a thorn in the national government's backside.

So what is it about land and the Kapampangan? The answer is simply found in his long forgotten cosmology, in the question dealing with the nature of his soul, his kaladua.

The word kaladua is derived from two Kapampangan words: kala, which simply means soul, and aduâ, which means two. The Kapampangan believes that he is in the possesion of twin souls: one being his personal soul which could be removed from his body at will - to mangalug as when one is hungry, to travel at night and hurt one's enemies as in the case of the powerful mangkukusim, to visit ones relatives in the form of the kambubulag when one is near death, or simply travelling when one dreams - , the other being the soul of the land which sustains him in life but returns to earth at the moment of death.

The ancient Kapampangan believed that when a person dies, if he is good, his personal soul goes to the White Rock on Bunduk Aláya and become one with Apung Sinukuan; His other soul would return to earth and strengthen his mother, his Indûng Tibuan.

Simply put, the Kapampangan and his Indûng Tibuan, the land of his birth, are one and the same. Their souls are as one. The twin souls must always come together otherwise the Kapampangan simply can not be. With this in mind, one now can easily understand the old saying: Ing taung alâng gabun, tau yang alâng kaladua, a man without land is a man without a soul. If one has taken to note, the name Kapampangan applies not only to the person but also to his land and his language as well.

The Kapampangan is touchy when it comes to the question of land because the question deals not only with an accidental preoccupation but with the deeper question concerning himself: his very being, his soul. When one touches his land he not only touches something he merely posses, rather he touches his very essence, his very self. Now one could understand why the unnamed rajah of Macabebe reacted with such violence when the Spaniards decided to take his land, they were taking his soul and his life as well. One now could understand why the thousands in Lubao and Betis chose death rather than surrender in the battles of 1571, or the countless who fought the Americans in the 1900s, or the Japanese in 1941 to 1945; somehow, deep down in their psyche, they knew their sacrifice would further strengthen their mother, their Indûng Tibuan, to whom their souls would return at the hour of death.

"You ask for parity of rights, the Filipino way of life, and you do not realize that what you are asking for is death, the destruction of your national identity, the disappearance of your homeland, the ratification of tyranny. What is to become of you? A people without a soul, a nation without freedom; everything in you will be borrowed, even your very defects. You ask for Philippinization and do not blush for shame when it is denied you...What you do is take advantage of the prejudices of our rulers. So they refuse to integrate you to the Filipino 'nation' and call you dugong aso to your faces. So much the better! Take the lead in forming your own individuality, TRY TO LAY THE FOUNDATIONS OF A KAPAMPAÑGAN NATION. They give you no hopes. All the better! Hope only in yourselves and in your own efforts...Instead of aspiring to be a mere province, ASPIRE TO BE A NATION; develop an independent, not a colonial, mentality...Resignation is not always a virtue; it is a crime when it encourages oppression. There are no tyrants where there are no slaves."

A Perversion of Ethnic Identity

Their question was: Óbat alâ nang Poéta Laureádung Kapampángan?"Why aren't there anymore Kapampangan Poet Laureates?"

I counter with another question: Nínu pa uárîng Kapampángan ing kukudtâ kng saríli nang salítâ?"What Kapampangan still writes poetry in his own language?"

Or if I should put it more bluntly, my question would be: Atin pa uáring Kapampángan a biásing sumúlat ampong mamásâ kng Amánu nang Sísuan? "Are there still Kapampangans who can still read and write in their own native language?"

The sad truth is, there are no new Kapampángan Poet Laureates because for the past thirty years the Kapampángan people have become illiterate in their own language. The younger generation hardly even speak it. The Kapampángan language is not taught in schools within his own homeland.

The Kapampangan ethno-linguistic group is probably the most culturally self-repressed of all lowland Philippine groups. What ethnic group in Philippines, and the world for that matter, would be slapped with a fine every time their language is spoken within the learning institutions of their homeland? Kapampangan students pay up to PHP 5.00 every time they speak Kapampangan in schools...

What ethnic group would put up a sign in his radio station that reads “No Smoking! No Kapampangan!”?

What ethnic group would consider his own language non-intellectual, unsophisticated and uncultured and therefore unfit to be used in the classroom or in the workplace?

What married couple, both Kapampángan speakers, would raise a child that speaks a language different from his own parents’?

The list of aberrations is endless. How would one expect the new crop of Kapampángans, non-proficient and illiterate as they are in their own language, to suddenly produce from among themselves a literary master in the Amánung Sísuan?

Sadly, the list of aberrations is indeed never ending. For their solution to the question as to why there aren’t anymore Poet Laureates in the Amánung Sísuan is, “Let us have a poetry contest and crown the winner Poéta Laureádo!”

Let us not discuss their authority to crown a Poet Laureate. Let us not even talk about the criteria that make a Poet Laureate. Let us discuss instead the logic of their answer. If the reason for not having any new literary masters in the Kapampángan language is that the Kapampángan people now are illiterate in it, and that they are illiterate in it because they are cultural repression reign supreme in their homeland, then, what good would a damn poetry contest do to solve this problem? I guess that abominable sign “No Smoking! No Kapampangan!” will be there to stay for all eternity.

^^ i guess the forrest park area was during the 70's and 80's time, they might have chaged the description of that place by now; dami na kasing bago eh. so lakeshore does have a lake, mahal nga dun siguro; and do they charge a fee to view sa mga open house dyan? just wondering.
i wasn't teed off by taksiapo nor was i limiting him from posting (on the contrary - i was amazed with all the stuff he posted), i just wanted him to say what he really thinks; you know converse with us. there are lots of intelligent people in this site who truely do understand and then there are some who would just skip through something that looks winding and not interesting to view.
gulat nga ako dun sa mga old writtings of the kapampangans - i didn't know there was such a thing, i wonder why they stopped using it. and are those all the scriptures or translations, o meron pang ibang writtings? this would be the best time for taksiapo to further extend his findings, curious na ako sa mga sinaunang kasulatan; is there a book?

open house is free as long as you got an invitation by one of the brokers i think.

THE surrealist painter Salvador Dali, best known for his masterpiece The Persistence of Memory, lost to a Kapampangan painter in an international painting competition held in the US in 1939.

The world-famous Spanish painter (Dali) and the Kapampangan Vicente Alvarez Dizon both submitted entries to the International Competition on Contemporary Art at the Gallery of Science and Art at the Golden Gate Exposition in San Francisco, California. It was sponsored by New York's International Business Machines Corporation (now known for its acronym, IBM). It drew entries from 79 countries.

Another contestant was the French master Maurice Utrillo.

Utrillo's entry, "Church of St. Aignan at Chartes" did not even make it to the finals. Salvador Dali's painting, "Enigmatic Elements in a Landscape" was awarded second prize. First prize went to the Kapampangan's entry, "After the Day's Toil," a rustic scene showing a farmer's family on their way back from the field.

It was a stunning victory for Filipinos, but it wasn't the only one. A few weeks earlier, another Filipino painter, Fernando Amorsolo, also won first prize in another IBM-sponsored art competition, held at the World Fair in New York.

Those were golden years, the 1930s, the decade before the global conflagration that was World War II. Fairs and carnivals were being held everywhere, like the Golden Gate Exposition on the US West Coast where Vicente Alvarez Dizon won, and the World Fair on the East Coast where Amorsolo won. In the Philippines, there was the Manila Carnival, which started beauty pageants in the country. In Pampanga, there was the Pampanga Carnival in 1933, which remains unparalleled even up to this day. Every town was given a pavilion where their arts and crafts were put on display, and the municipal governments pulled all stops to outdo each other in design and product innovation.

In those times of prosperity, artists like Dizon and Amorsolo naturally thrived. But Dizon was the first to note the irony that the Philippines was a country of many art geniuses and no art aficionados. While artists of world-class caliber like Dizon and Amorsolo mushroomed, the appreciative masses were nowhere to be found. Thus, Dizon suggested that art appreciation be made a part of the curriculum in public schools. "In this way," he wrote, "an aesthetic sense and appreciation for the arts will be awakened in the early life of our youth."

He wrote two books on the subject matter, Living as an Art and Art Education and Appreciation, which was used as a textbook at the National Teachers College.

Dizon said that aside from education, a cohesive museum system should be established in the Philippines so that local museums are not mere storage of art works but dynamic exhibit areas so that people from all walks of life could truly understand and appreciate art. The public, especially the poor, he said, needed "an institution, a civic center -- a museum where they may go during Sundays or their free hours, instead of going to gambling houses and dancing saloons."

Nothing much has changed since the 1930s. Filipinos still prefer to spend all their weekend hours in the mall.

Museums and art galleries are visited only by the high-brow, high-heeled cultural set and by schoolchildren on field trips who are in a hurry to get to their next stop, you guessed it, the mall.

Vicente Alvarez Dizon was born to Kapampangan parents in Malate in 1905. At 16, he was already a paid illustrator for prewar magazines like Graphic, Free Press, Woman's Home Journal and Liwayway (where he illustrated the stories of Lola Basyang).

He won first prize in an art exhibition held at the Manila Carnival of 1927. The following year, he graduated from the University of the Philippines (UP) School of Fine Arts, where he was head caricaturist of the Philippine Collegian. After graduation, Dizon immersed himself in research on indigenous costumes. He executed 39 watercolor paintings he collectively entitled "Filipino Costumes 1500-1935." His work earned him the recognition of his peers as well as a scholarship from Yale University in Connecticut, where he eventually graduated with the degree Bachelor of Fine Arts after only one-and-a-half years (instead of the usual three).

Lord Barnby, president of the London University, also offered him the then huge sum of US$10,000 for his paintings of native costumes, which Dizon declined.

While at Yale, Dizon became the first Filipino artist invited to become a member of the National Geographic Society of America in recognition of his historical costume paintings, and won first prize in Major Bowes' Amateur Hour program over NBC by playing musical instruments.

When he returned to the Philippines, he taught at the National Teachers College and at the Mapua Institute of Technology; he was also a member of the committee tasked to reorganize the UP School of Fine Arts.

The vastly talented Dizon introduced finger painting in the Philippines, which he propagated throughout the country through lectures and demonstrations. He was also known for his "chalk talk" lectures copied by many today, in which someone from the audience is asked to sketch any form or line on the blackboard and the artist would transform it into a meaningful figure.

But "After the Day's Toil" continues to be Dizon's greatest legacy. After the competition, the painting went on a world tour of IBM offices, including the one in Ermita, Manila, before going on permanent display at the IBM Gallery of Fine Arts in New York. In 1968, IBM unloaded some of its art collections to American art galleries. The Dizon painting went to Hirschi Adler Gallery in New York, which sold it to an anonymous collector. It has since disappeared from public view.

Dizon stayed in Angeles, marrying Ma. Ines Henson, sister of historian Mariano A. Henson. Among his children are local historians and painters Daniel Dizon and Josie D. Henson. He died Oct. 19, 1847 at 42.

emesber!!! I love you!! Thanks for the pics. :hug:

Thanks for the PIcs :D

Emesber, salamat sa mga photos, it makes me miss Pampanga... :(

Anyway, any news, renderings or updates of the upcoming Market! Market! Angeles?

home sick tuloy ako ... ang laki nang pinagbago talaga nang angeles city haneppppppppp...salamas sa pic mo friend

@Emesber: Ang ganda ng pics! Great! Maganda pala ang Casino Filipino sa Angeles tsaka ang AUF.:)

@Steph: Nakakatawa nga ung kalabaw.:lol:Ung kabayo naman parang tikbalang!:rofl:

ang jenra supermarket sa angeles,maganda na raw sya kasi may aircon na sya ang mga 3floor na ang taas.. pati yun san nicolas market magnda na hah

Here's some history:

So Ayala already had plans to build a mall in Angeles but after the contract for SM Clark was signed, Ayala Land pulled out.

Here's an excerpt of the May 17, 2005 article of SunStar Pampanga

He said "at the time the SM Clark contract was signed, Angeles City as already lost a multi-million investment after Ayala Land Inc. pulled out of its plan to develop an 8.7-hectare lot near City Hall into a Greenbelt-type commercial enterprise."

The reason, PGKM claimed, was that Ayala Land could not compete with SM Clark because of its privileges as Clark locator.

And now, they're reviving the mall project :applause:

Viray: It is raining in Pampanga
By Atlee T. Viray
In and out of court

A STORM hits Pampanga relentlessly. This is the storm of progress.

Look around you. Subdivisions have mushroomed all over. There is Ayala's Avida. There is Villar's Crown. There is the Mangio's Lakeshore. There is Dizon's Estate, Kolbe, Villa del Sol. There is Beverly.

There is Barcelona. There is Krystal Homes. There is Fortune Ville. This is a crystal clear sign of progress. The sugar cane plantations are all gone. In its place, palatial mansions and air-conditioned units have sprouted.

"I retired from my good paying job in the United States. I bought a house and lot in North San Fernando. This is an ideal place. This is near Angeles. This is not far from Masantol or from Manila. I am the envy of my acquaintances in New Jersey," balikbayan Romeo Punla states approvingly.

It is raining hard -- with blessings to our province. Ayala Land Inc. (ALI) bought a 9.3-hectare land in Angeles City. Ayala is to build a P2-billion mall. Fifteen years after Pinatubo, Pampanga is ready to reclaim the status as No. 1 province of the country. I remember the late governor Bren Z. Guiao used to say: "We're No. 1. All others are behind us."

We stumbled but only temporarily. Let us listen to what the business experts say through Ayala finance officer, Jaime Ysmael: "In Pampanga, the purchasing power is quite strong. There is a lot of spending power especially with infrastructure coming along in the Clark-Subic area and the rehabilitation of the North Luzon Expressway (Nlex). That entire corridor will be growing quite fast."

Soon, the Subic-Clark Tarlac Expressway Project is to connect the industrial transport and business hubs of Subic, Clark and Tarlac. This region is to outpace all others in a couple of years. To the credit of my kumpadre -- lawyers in government -- lawyer Oscar S. Rodriguez and Edgardo Pamintuan, this project has taken flight. These two lawyers play a major role in planning and working on this Subic-Tarlac-Clark Seaboard. Oca and Eddie have etched their names in gold as true statesmen. Even after they retire from government, they can look back in satisfaction in spurring progress in this part of the country.

Add to this duo, Levy Laus comes prepared as the new president of Clark Development Corporation (CDC). Sooner or later, Clark will be the leading port of international flights. It is the only landing area big enough to house the huge projected volume of air transport.

These are the best of times. The worst is over for Pampanga. Business leader Jess Nicdao of Guagua, hits the nail in the head when he says: "We are lucky. We live in Pampanga. This is the best place to do business in the next five years."

The future is rosy for the province. The future has arrived. The future is NOW. We are close to reclaiming our No. 1 position.

Here's some history:

And now, they're reviving the mall project :applause:


It isn't the only reason why they pulled out. Another reason is that The Ayalas and the owners of the farm they bought requested to Tarzan (the mayor) a pedestrian overpass in return the Ayalas would develop the area. Tarzan, howver, refused to build the overpass.

another trivia:
At the beginning Tarzan joined the local business sector in blocking the SM Clark project, I wonder what made him changed his mind :ohno: .

Tarzan is supposed to be the hero, why is he the villain this time? :lol:

Tarzan is supposed to be the hero, why is he the villain this time? :lol:

Carmelo "Tarzan" Lazatin was not and never will be a hero. ;)

Emesber, salamat sa mga photos, it makes me miss Pampanga... :(

Anyway, any news, renderings or updates of the upcoming Market! Market! Angeles?

walang anuman. I will check on that Market Market, perhaps I have seen some banners in the street but not notice what it is all about. but I will check this afternoon about that when I go to SM Clark to buy some PC software. On the way back to my house here in Mabalacat I may go first to Angeles town.

Anyway, any news, renderings or updates of the upcoming Market! Market! Angeles?

i know na sa march na ang start nya...


@tisoycuba- dati pa naman may aircon ang jenra supermarket diba?? and ung site ng market! market! di pa daw sure yun. basta within the city.

hello po!! ito po yun nabasa ko noon sa pampanganews last august...
dindo fernando, of AYALA LAND INC. public affairs manager,said the construction of the mall may start by december..He added that they acquired the lot for the new ayala mall from the family of brothers Rey ang Robert SO,owner of the springside pountry farm in barangay pulung maragul..The SO family may likely strike a joint venture with the Ayalas for the housing project located beside the mall...
Fernando said,the ALI and SO are eyeing the site of springside pountry farm as the site of the new housing project..But fernando said they will start the construction of the new mall before they finalize the plans for the housing project....

This is an old building historical building. Previously months before, on the ground and 2nd floor there were many large painting about the famous Kapampangan (Illustrado family) during the Spanish era.

Yesterday I planned to take photos of those historical paintings however the guard told me that it was removed from the wall since they were renovating the interior of the building. The Guard also showed to me the 2nd floor of the Edificio where the large Paintings was hung before in the wall of the foyer. The large paintings were still there but stacked against the wall of the foyer.

This is an old historical building though it seems the exterior facade seems to be renovated before. Previously or just few months ago on the ground and 2nd floor there were many large painting ( size abt 8 feet x 10 feet ) about the famous Kapampangan (Illustrado family) during the Spanish era.

Yesterday I planned to take photos of those historical paintings however the guard told me that it was removed from the wall since they were renovating the interior of the building. You can see the
name of the building " Edificio de Jimenez Tercero ".

The large paintings seemed to be late 18th century and previously displayed on the ground floor and second floor of the Edificio. It shows the history of the Illustrado owner of that building, family tree of the Jimenez'es which link them to most of the rich and prominent families of Pampanga and Tarlac, and it shows also the history of the Philippine Revolution and Pampanga which interlink with their own family history.

There was still some old photographs in glass frame (size about 2 feet x 1.5 feet - circa 18th to 19th century) displayed in the foyer of the 2nd floor of this Edificio de Jimenez, of their Jimenez'es family ancestries.

I wish to take the photos of those remaining old photographs in glass frames and the Guard is also willing to let me photograph it, however it is quite dark inside the building eventhough it is 3PM that time yesterday. There was not enough light in the building interior needed for photographing those century-old photographs in glass frames. The building interior was under renovation.

For the last 2 years every month I am visiting this building, since monthly I am paying mine and my wife's premium of Life insurance in Philamlife. Everytime I went there I always planned to bring my digital camera and take the photos of the abt 8 feet x 10 feet paintings of illustrado family during the Spanish era.

However yesterday when I am ready to take the photos, I have seen the paintings were already removed and stacked in the wall in the 2nd floor. What is left on the wall of the foyer was the century old family photographs in glass frames.

This is another historical building, before I have seen a historical marker on this building but now it seems it was removed. There is still a sign " Herencia - something " on the wall of the old edifice.

awww!!! my school!!! ngayon ko lng nakita yang bagong gate na yan, di ko na yan naabutan... :D

and yang structure na yan na may 7 eleven, gustong gusto ko yang nakikita...

at ok pa ba yang jenra mall na yan??

Carmelo "Tarzan" Lazatin was not and never will be a hero. ;)

You are so right with that, that pig deserves to be kicked out of office. Angeles City deserves a better mayor, all of the good ones go to San Fernando don't you think? With Rey Aquino's three terms, he made history in San Fernando: by turning it into a city and developing it to be a rival of Angeles in business and commerce.

@ishtefh_03. Did you know that that structure with a 7-eleven below is even named in Spanish? It's like "Edificio de Jimenez..." ecu ne balu, macaba ya casi eh. You should see the interiors too, very old-world. And it is accentuated by fantastic Fil-Hispanic art inside, plus the Bale Herencia adjacent to it makes them look so historical.

@emesber. Salamat careng litratu! Even though nakikita ko yang mga yan palagi, mas masaya ang makita sila dito hehe. Bakit ako nahihirapang kumuha ng letrato? Mga guardia kasi eh, napaka-sospechoso.


Cabalen co, quing palague cu ing Pampanga ing asabi tamung China naning Pilipinas, caracal bayung tatalacad a imprastraktura queti ne???

Emesber -- thanx sa mga pics, you hit the spot by bringing me back to my childhood. that water tower was there back when i was a child and that gas station, let's just say that it was Flying A or Caltex back then. that street (northwest bound as you mentioned) heading towards Jocson Junior College is First Street, i grew up 2 streets over - just behind that water tower sa 3rd street by the Gueco's and Sison's.
ang laki na talaga ng pinagbago ng holy angel university (holy angel college noon), di ko na maitsurahan. ang holy family church lang ang kilala ko, it still looks the same after all these years.
salamat sa pag-remind mo sa kin what i have been missing, one thing i notice though - traffic seems to be worse, noon kase ang sarao mac arthur hiway lang and the short jeepney's (not the sarao's) go to check point (as we called it then now it's clark). there was hardly any congestions, kung meron man - it's because may nagbanggaan; but that's like maybe once a month, and there was never a need for those center dividers.

"edificio de jimenez tercero" ata yung name nya... nakita ko na rin interiors nyan nung highschool pa pero kung may time ako matingnan nga ulit.

may isa pang structure dun sa likod ng museo na historical rin ang dating nya.. yung may parang bangko.. :D

That Coca-Cola water tower has been there since I could remember. :lol:

And it is still the same (no repainting) after all these 27 years since I was first posted to Clark on TDY (Temporary Duty) for 3 months. Been back countless times and currently making 8 trips there annually.:)

MacArthur Highway Balibago. You can see the roundabout and on the right is the road that leads directly to Clark's Maingate.

those trasportable concrete barriers were death trap. in metro manila for the last few months many cars collided with that concrete barrier, there is a big risk especially at night and especially if your are too tipsy with too much drink.

at night while driving in Dau, Balibago and AC city proper, i learned that you have too make your car head light very strong otherwise you may hit the concrete barriers. months ago the concrete barrier near BPI Balibago was hit by a car
perhaps 2 or 3 times, the last one by a big cargo truck. then the concrete barrier near Robinson Mall in Balibago was also hit. perhaps they should change that to plastic fiber or wood. but the problem ... madaling nakawin at isakay sa truck ng robbers kung hindi concrete. in Pinas it is always catch 22.

i am not too sure of that regarding Alpha the Foxtrot Golf baka chizmis lang yaon..

i remember i got that chizmiz from a guy who works in the Mayor's office in Angeles City.



it's cool, chizmiz or not; i'd still like to find out who owns it (curious lang). it can be verified unless na silent partner pala then there's no way to track.

ano naman ung tungkol sa market market??? iba paba ung sa ayala mall na itatayo???

nope, yun yung itatayo ng ayala, same with market market! sa FBGC...

I'm really confused by the articles coming out here and there.

X says the Ayala Mall to be built in Angeles will be like Market! Market!
Y says the Ayala Mall to be built in Angeles will be Greenbelt-ish.

So which is which? If you were to dictate, which would you prefer?

about dun sa lake, man- made lng sya, kay adati nung may bagyo, balibalita na umapaw daw yung lake na yun kaya bumaha...

about dun sa owner ng Lakeshore, ang Alam ko si Arch. Mangio ang gumawa ang his part of the ownership ewan ko lang kung sino pa yung mga ka share holder nya. :D

Ang ayaw ko lang talaga sa mga lungsod ay iyong mga linya ng mga kuryente na walang ka plano-plano. Maganda sana iyong lugar at iyong estraktura pero wala talagang dating sa retrato kung ganyan ang estado. :ohno:

I'm really confused by the articles coming out here and there.

X says the Ayala Mall to be built in Angeles will be like Market! Market!
Y says the Ayala Mall to be built in Angeles will be Greenbelt-ish.

So which is which? If you were to dictate, which would you prefer?

i like it to be grenbelt-ish, pero too bad, market market look alike daw sya talaga according dun sa nakausap namin na taga MDC... :D

Sana mix of everything, may part na para sa mga socialite at may part na para sa mga tiangge at may part para sa regular mall :D

nakita ko na ang greenbelt last year when we were in Makati, and i've seen the market market pero sa labas lang 'coz we just dropped somebody off. sorry for my ignorance, pero anong itsura ng market market sa loob; kase it looked alright outside, i'm just clueless. palengke ba iyon or is it like vira mall?

Market! Market! is your regular mall. Additional features are areas for bargain stalls (tiangge) so that customers can haggle for the best finds. Nonetheless, it's a decent and good mall. Well what can you expect, it's still an Ayala mall :)

Malayo maging palenke ang isang Ayala mall. :D

^ Correct... Pero an added feature of Market! Market! is that it has a fresh produce and flowers market outside the mall :okay:

And it is still the same (no repainting) after all these 27 years since I was first posted to Clark on TDY (Temporary Duty) for 3 months. Been back countless times and currently making 8 trips there annually.:)

Wow... that must be really nice paint. :lol:

i confused, i got the tiangge part and i understand market means palengke; what's an ayala mall? so market market is not a regular palengke where you can buy meat, produce and other grocery stuff? you only mentioned that the produce is sold outside, i'm guessing this is not a wet type market. did they run out of names, that why they called it something and mentioned it twice; some concept.

Are you saying that you don't know the Ayalas, or, are you questioning some of the mall naming concepts?

@Zelrich: The Ayala Malls brand is a respected name, it is prestigious and is being looked upon.

Anyway, to clarify, Market! Market! is your usual mall, but with the addition of some leasable spaces for tiangge stalls. At the outside of the mall is a fresh produce market (fruits, veggies, flowers) and some stalls selling food and snacks. So it's definitely not a palengke or a wet market... ;)

^^Oo nga, and I would prefer a Greenbelt-ish Ayala mall in Angeles City!

yes, mga peeps - i have no clue as to what ayala means and the market market. like i said i only saw the market market outside, didn't get a chance to see it inside (i wish i did). i didn't mean to rattle any cages, that's the only reason why i was asking and i'm not making fun of it. market market not a palengke, and i take it that ayala mall is an actual mall; got it (i thought somebody made it sound like it wasn't). i wish i could be in the philippines to see all of this... Emesber, thank you talaga sa mga pictures; without it i'd be completely blind to what's in Angeles now-a-days.

Please note that yesterday is the opening day of the North Philippines Tourism Week. There was a parade that started from the assembly area of Puregold Store from participants from Region I, Region II, Region III, and Cordilerra Autonomous Region.

I just arrived at Puregold to buy something when the parade started, however
I found my digicamera has no more batteries. So I went to Robinson Dept Store in Balibago for the Kodak batteries. When I arrive in SM Clark the parade is already there and the speech of the Special Guest - Senator Dick Gordon the Sect of Tourism, is already over.

Anyhow I have taken more than 150 photos of beautiful dancers, beautiful people from DOT and the local goverment, and the various booth at SM Clark.

I will post those photos in the Thread SM Clark - tonight.

Btw these were the sample photos for Thread SM Clark.

well, compared to the complicated sending of photos in Yahoo Photo Mail,
emdbedding the photos in SSC Thread is the best, you can make it to 600x800 size and easy to copy and paste in the email and sent to families and friends abroad who originally were inhabitants of Angeles / Mabalacat area.

and it was also a plus to us... :D

nakita ko doon sa isang wedsite na marami raw na bagong hotel na tinatayu dyan sa fields ave. at doon sa perimeter road,papunta sa friendship.. eh di marami na nga talagang tourist dyan sa angeles noh!!makauwi na nga dyan :cheers: sa angeles hehehehehe

Hay naku, sa Fields Avenue ba kamo? :ohno: For sure...

Let me contribute some pics from my hard disk:



http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/8016/lechonex9.jpg
Lechon baboy; one of my favourite food in AC. This stall that I usually patronise is at near
the junction of MacArthur Highway and Fields Avenue, a few doors from Western Union.



http://img95.imageshack.us/img95/9526/roastedchicrz6.jpg
There are many roast chicken stalls like this one along MacArthur Highway in Balibago.



http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/3678/subdeliciouszn0.jpg
On the upper floor of this food joint is the Sports Bar (on Fields Avenue) where I once caught
billiards champion Efren "The Magician" Reyes in action. Among the food served by both the
Sports Bar and Sub Delicious is a jumbo-sized pizza which is availlable in slices like the giant
below:

http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/5913/kokomory3.jpg
Formerly known as Kokomo's; this is the home base, so to speak, for many foreign tourists and locals while out on a bar
hop. It's a great place for meeting people and getting information about virtually anything. The food here is very international.



http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/8340/hashjx0.jpg
Anchorage Inn, behind Fields Avenue, is the headquarters of the Angeles Hash House Harriers. On Sundays about a
hundred "harriers" and "harriets" would converge there to set off for an afternoon of run, drink and fun.

Finito - Shalom

The first image os of the City Library.

the second one is the "Bale Herencia" literally "Heritage House" it is located at the corner of Lakandula and Sto. Rosario Streets, it was built in 1860 by carpenters coming from Vigan, Ilocos Sur. It is said that the imposing house was built by Fray Guillermo Masnou, a parish priest of Angeles. Restoration was started in 1988 by the owner, Mr. Jose G. Paras, Jr. , and continuous to this day. Currently it servesas a banquet hall and due to its colonial ambience, it has become a favorite venue for many functions.

You ever plan on going back there, Kirbs? I don't think I can deny that place much longer. The sport of business calls to me.


Edit-
out of curiosity, what kind of games do they have at Casino Angeles? Is Hold 'Em popular?

Pero sa English competitions like Oration and Impromptu Speech siyempre Pinoy na dun.

Ohh snapp, i started a road trip. if and when i do get that chance, i might be in the area around October to December of 07; no specific dates - long range planning pa lang. i have to take care of something in manila around those months, and i could be in angeles for a couple of days. who knows if everything works out (my long range plan), we could go on that road trip; when the three of us are available at the same time... maybe we can cover (photographically) the "Sisig Festival" of 07.

ayos lang, i was just thinking out loud; there's no planning taking place (yet, he he).

dude ang gara ng mga pics mo sa friendship, i was reminiscing when i was younger - coming from 3rd street (balibago) i would go all the way to sapang bato (to my cousins) riding my BMX nikilado (uso noon) going through that side road along clark (by plaridel, i think) to that friendship corner then keep going straight passing through margot then making my way to sapang bato (dirt road pa noon from the corner of friendship all the way to sapang bato); one thing i hated was that steep hill that you have to go through, and you can't even go inside clark dahil the base was still active back then with american g.i.'s ... and those caravans, been a real long time since i seen those. real cool, 10 stars... maybe you need to work for National Geographic.

Hehe.. thanks again emesber. Ang dami palang Koreano dyan. I don't remember seeing any during my visit there in March 2006.

what's SCETEX? tried to pull it out of the net, there's nothing about it. i know it's an expressway, but what does SCET mean? NLEX is north luzon expressway (if i'm right). and why would they have army checkpoint there?

baka naman reading the national geographic for 15 years, you are yanking my chain right. 'coz if you were a member, how come your not anymore? daming tanong ano... sensya na, nangungulit lang po.

SCTEx, not SCETEX, means Subic - Clark - Tarlac Expressway

@emesber: Yeah.. I think it's really weird......... :dizzy:

SCETEX : is Subic Clark Tarlac Expressway and there is a thread here in SSC.
army checkpoint is everywhere in central luzon, and in Angeles City and Mabalacat's selected areas where the govt deems to have insurgency problems. we reckoned Sapang Bato has an army check point since that is quite remote place. and they look for cedula to check who were strangers in the place, the logic there is if you don't have cedula from that town then you
must be an stranger there, then strangers is subject for questioning.

Actually I am paying subscription to National Geographic Magazine for 15 years ( I started with 20 dollars a year i 1980s and later it became 40 dollars a year subscription. Cheaper than buying from bookshops, and with subscriptions then you are a member. actually in 1980s the life time membership for National Geographic is only 200 dollars but I chose to pay yearly.

btw try to look for the SCETEX thread there is also some photos there of Clark area and Mabalacat where the Expressway from Subic where being built.

SCTEx, not SCETEX, means Subic - Clark - Tarlac Expressway


oh my typo error - yes it's SCTEX

haha!!! oo nga maaga aga na road trip plan yun... :D

hehe naalala ko noon ang tingin kosa "Edificio de Jimenez Tercero" at sa "Pamintuan Residence" eh mga munting Palasyo hehehe.... wala lang na alala ko lang...

BCDA allots P230m for tollway access road
By Rendy Isip

CLARK FIELD, Pampanga—The Bases Conversion and Development Authority has approved the allocation of P230 million for the construction of an access road to link the Clark Special Economic Zone here to the P21-billion Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway which is expected to be finished by November 2007.

Clark Development Corp. president Levy Laus said the BCDA approved the P230-million budget for the construction of the access road that would link the Diosdado Macapagal International Airport with the Subic Freeport in Zambales and make it the premier logistics hub in the country as envisioned by President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.

The Clark access road is vital to the development of Clark as well as the nearby Angeles City, Mabalacat, Magalang and other towns in Pampanga.

“This is a good news for all of us, the BCDA has approved the budget,” Laus said, adding that the access road is set to be completed by November 2007, simultaneous with the completion of the Subic-Clark-Tarlac tollway.

The access road would be built in the area of Industrial Estate Five near the Yokohama Tire Philippines Inc., inside the Clark economic zone. The tollway project is 42-percent complete and development group officials expressed confidence that the project would be finished by November, ahead of its original deadline of December.

The Angeles City Council and Mabalacat Council had earlier threatened to stop the project after the development group failed to include the access road because officials claimed Clark would not directly benefit from the tollway because it will only pass the area and not link it to the economic zone.

Laus said travel time going to Subic will only take 30 minutes instead of the three-hour ride via the very busy Gapan-San Fernando-Olongapo Road.

He said Clark and Subic would both enjoy benefits from the tollway because it would attract more investments and eventually create more jobs for local folks in nearby communities of Central Luzon.




Common sense finally prevailed. This is good news for metro Angeles and Pampanga. Emesber thank you for posting the sisig festival pictures.

yun kayang angeles city exit dyan sa subic clark express. tuloy kaya ..nang tatanong lang po!!!


actually i don't know.. perhaps when I got a copy of Clark Monitor I may give more info.

about the ayala mall.. no idea either, will update you If I see any construction on that directions when I drive in the NLEX later.

about the sisig festival... it seems there were more seats than people at 6PM when I left SM Clark. actually I let my daughter enter the Sisig festival and I instead go to Internet Cafe as I have seen not so many people on the fest.

saan pala itatayu yun bagong building nang AUF medical center. dyan din ba malapit sa school nila .. thanks uli hha emesberrrrrrr pag uwi ko sama ako sa road trip :)

ang cool nung pic na pwede kang magsulat sa wall... :D

saan pala itatayu yun bagong building nang AUF medical center. dyan din ba malapit sa school nila .. thanks uli hha emesberrrrrrr pag uwi ko sama ako sa road trip :)

Just at the back of the present AUF MEdical center, the name would be AUF Medical Tower, 10 storeys high. I am hoping that this would overtake the height of the dome of Holy Rosary parish CHurch, the tallest structure in Angeles (or is it?). Construction will take 3 years daw, naku tagal nun! The construction area is very noisy and it causes rough shakes sa floor, we could even feel the shakes inside the nearby McDonald's.

thanks sa update hah.. tagal pala noh pero start na pala ang construction nila sa bagong hospital building hha thanks uli hah..AUF MEDICAL TOWER..at last meron na rin na mataas na building ang angeles city......pero yun itatayu na mga condo unit sa ANGELES SPORT AND COUNTRY CLUB AY 10FLOOR DIN ANG TAAS NA GAGAWIN NILA...WOW !!!

ang dami na ng expansion nang AUF, buti di pa nila sinasara ang hi-way para maging exclusive ang area.


@Emesber, tol sinong nanalo sa sisig festival this year? nakita ko sa mga pics - last year si Aling Lucing ata, grandslam pa. konti ba ang mga tao, sa pics kasi tipong uulan...

hindi ko alam kung sino ang nanalo dahil 6PM ay umalis na kami ng SM Clark. ipatatanong ko sa daughter ko kasi may ibang group ng classmates nya sa AUF na nag cover ng Sisig Festival para sa kanilang school organ.

in my estimates kaunti lang noong 6Pm na umalis kami, aywan ko lang pagkaalis namin. the weather ... morning and afternoon very hot sunshine, then about 6PM quite cloudy but no rain....

Mt Ararat is located in Turkey, before the 20th century the biblical mountain was part of Armenian nation.

Mt. Ararat is where Noah's Ark finally landed when the Great flood subsided.

Maraming magaling na school sa Pampanga and Angeles City hindi lang ang AUF and HAU. There is also the UP San Fernando extension. Do anybody know if UP Clark is still open? thank you in advance.

Yes, UP Clark is still open though with limited courses.

Few months ago my daughter took her college admission test at UP Clark, though the courses she is interested is offered only in UP Diliman.

i forgot about the UP sa clark, meron pa pala yon; and i didn't know the one in san fernando. iba na talaga ang pampanga... :shocked:

Re Sinukuan Festival :

No activities yesterday, some say the festival is held only in the Street and it is scheduled today the last day of the Sinukuan Festival.

There is no booth about Sinukuan Festival except an stage in Robinson Starmill.

Wished I could take photos in Robinson Starmill Mall, however the guard says have to take permission from their office first when he noticed me taking photos of Robinson building complex.

That is East Gate (Mall or Condo) which is beside the Robinson Starmill and infront of SM also. Still uncompleted and perhaps another 6 months before completion.

actually many people here don't know about ayala mall which supposed to be built near the city hall. Cannot find the info about the Ayala Mall in the local nor national newspaper. Perhaps the planners in Angeles City Hall knows about it, since Culiat seems to be related with Tarzan the Mayor, perhaps Culiat can give some info.

^^ mall pala yon, akala ko mga condo na tinatayo next to robinson; ganda sana kung naging condo cluster yon - tabi ng mall (sikat). they need to do something like that, make sure lang secured ang residential complex (gated and guarded).

^^ Baka mixed use development hindi lang mall. Im sure they will take advantage of its location katabi ng Robinson's and sa harap ng SM.

actually I just presumed it is a Mall. pero kung Mall or condo ay masyadong mababa. baka magtatayo pa ng mas malaking structures doon, maluwang naman ang area na yaon. I will read the sign on East Gate on the next time I passed by that area.

The other day I went back to Toyota San Fernando to get back my car that was serviced, and I took some more photos. Also some photos of Sinukuan Festival at Robinson, however too many people watching the Festival and difficult to get a shot.

Maraming magaling na school sa Pampanga and Angeles City hindi lang ang AUF and HAU. There is also the UP San Fernando extension. Do anybody know if UP Clark is still open? thank you in advance.

UP Clark is like stuck in the middle of nowhere, I have friends who go there and tell me that if you're mentally unstable you could go crazy inside. The original UP Pampanga was near the Capitol in San Fernando but it seems that after the Lahar craze during the 90's people were too scared to build properties there, the area where the former UP Pampanga once stood was slightly ravaged by lahar flow. UP Clark is desolate, I took entrance exams for UP there. But despite the ugly location and facilities, UP parin yan ika nga. They offer Psychology, Economics and a business course I think.

^^ me too, i took my up exam at clark... well it's not yet develop and it only offers few courses... :D

Here are some pics of last week's Sisig Festival which I managed to go to after all.

As you can see from below my avatar, I am from "the little red dot". ;)
I hop into Clark on TigerAir eight times a year to visit some customers in Manila. I usually stay in AC since I am very familar with the place; being based in Clark way before Pinatubo blew its top. :)

phenom:) can u give us a new info of new hotel in angeles and clark w/pic hah thankssssss:cheers: i was here kasi in cuba eh!!!

@Phenom

a little red dot - must be macau...

I was there also in SM Clark to see the Sisig Festival last 2nd Dec from 09 to 12 then return there at 4PM to fetch my daughter who were malling with her classmate. But then she chose to enter and see the Sisig Festival with her classmates. So I went to Balibago and return to Sisig Fest at 7PM.

re-edit:
Oh !! You have photos of the street dance which I missed while I was sleeping. Actually in the morning of 2nd Dec. I found so few things to shoot so I went home and sleep. Then return to SM Clark when my unica hija texted me to fetch her in SM.

Phenom and Emesber thank you for posting the pictures from the sisig festival.:) Do you have pictures of the car and bike show? Little red dot? Are you based in Singapore? Are there still decent hotels along Fields Avenue and Balibago?

"stuck in the middle of nowhere" - actually it was a minute walk from the Phil.Air Force housing compound and less than 5 minutes by car to SM Clark and Fields Avenue, and also about 5 minutes to Mimosa. But just beside a Korean or Chinese factory. Perhaps they neglected zoning in Clark, a school beside a factory !!!

I also missed the car and bike show however my daughter has photo of some car in the show...

I have seen some new nice and decent hotel in the Fields Ave - seems mostly cater to Koreans since there is Korean writings on their hotel (far from the cluster of bars at the usual main area of Fields Ave) going to Friendship Road.

Of course there is the decent hotel of Marlim Mansion and Sheraton Hotel at the back of Casino Filipino in Balibago area of MacArthur Highway.

there are a few decent hotels at fields ave., i stayed at wild orchid resort; not bad for a hotel dead smack in the middle of the bars :naughty: in fields ave. it was opened not too long ago, and it's really convenient :okay: especially if you want to go bar hoping around the area. i had a blast when i stayed there:banana: , it's easy to walk around and when you get drunk :scouserd: just say the hotels name and they'll know where to take you.

@Emesber, o.k. yung location description mo ah; a reversed Nowhere... like Neil Young's old song (one of his early hits) Everybody Know's this is Nowhere.

very strategic ang location ng san fernanddo kc gitnang gitna cia... it's a good place for investments


ung ligligan parul malapit na rin.. kung may makakakuha ng mga pix,, mas maganda...

yun nga gitna sya, pero ang problema naman madaling magbaha dyan sa sf.lalo na sa bayan,pero mas o.k dto sa malapit sa clark kasi pag full operational na ang airport dyan o.k sa negosyu diba..sa cutud pala ang relocation nnag mga taga riles sa angeles hah..lapit na pala ang clearing nila eh mawawala na pala ang sisigan sa crossing :ohno:

sabagay kapag natapos yan mas maganda naman yata ang papalit eh kasi hightech na!!!

THANKS EMESBER &PHENOM,FOR YOUR NEW UPDATED OF THE PIC HAH, NEXT TIME ME NAMAN!! HEHEHEHEHE

sabi mo kasi decent hotels along fields ave., kaya recommend ko to - 'coz i was there. you know it's always a business trip, they're business is my pleasure :jk: ang gusto ko kasi is a place where you can stay out late and everything is open, i have no car - so i chose to stay sa area where i can walk around. i don't want to be cooked up in a hotel, tapos i can't have fun; having fun during the day is hard for me - me lahi ata akong paniki na nang-hahabol ng mga kalapati. :D

I have posted the scanned copy of Clark Monitor magazine of CDC in the thread Clark and Subic. Also some brochures of northern provinces in the thread Phil Tourism.

The 2 SM City in Pampanga simply shows that the Province is very progressive. :)

:lol: We went to the Province of Pampanga last month in our field trip. we went Faith Orchid farm near Magalang, then San Fernando and Bacolor

Emesber, once again thank you sa mga pictures.:) Malaki na siguro ang nagamit mo sa sasakyan mo sa kakakuha ng mga pictures.

Perhaps you are looking for Century Resort Hotel located at the back of the new Casino Filipino at Balibago. Just talked to their lady telephone operator and she confirmed they have no Websites. She don't know also about the Bar phase 4, probably she is new in that place.

In their compound the Bar : (Klownz comedy bar), Il Posto (Bar and coffee shop) and SOS Bar (sound of Sevetees Bar)
