you simply can't do that. you're abridging people's freedom of speech. even without legal force, dapat kaya nating ibandera ang Kapampangan by using it in as many institutions as possible (govt offices, schools, trial courts, churches, media, etc.) atsaka sa arts. cebuanos can do it. ilocanos can do it. heck, even Jewish people were successful in reviving Aramaic. why cant we? it's true na mahirap kasi di tayo island like Cebu, tapos karatig lang natin ang mga dominant Tagalogs, tapos capital pa ng bansa. kaya dapat mas double effort tayo in promoting Kapampangan.

meron na. From 3 million speakers (sa buong Pilipinas), we declined to 2.9 million nung year 2000. And then, parang naging steady lang sa number na yun. Ang decline ay nagsimula noong dineclare ang batas sa Bilingual Education, kung saan napromote ang Tagalog (Filipino) at English as official languages ng bansa.

Sa Pampanga, don't worry. Almost 90-95% pa rin ang Kapampangan speakers. pero we should not be complacent. Dapat ang goal natin ay PARAMIHIN ang Kapampangan speakers, at i-elevate ang Kapampangan sa high institutions at pop culture.

ako, di ko worry ang mga non-Kapampangans na di marunong ng Kapampangan.

Ang mas kinamumuhian ko ay yung mga KAPAMPANGAN NA IKINAHIHIYA ANG PAGSASALITA NG KAPAMPANGAN (sa mall, sa school, sa restaurants, etc), pinapalaki pa ang mga anak nila ng Tagalog or English speaking. Ito ang mga nakakapatay sa Kapampangan.

from 3M to 2.9 Kapampangan speaker year 2000 pa that was 12years ago 2012 na ngayon dapat my bago na census dapat increasing un kapampampangan dhil sa birth rate tumataas dapat 3-3.5M na kapampangan ngaun pag nagcensus.

i think mas mababa pa 90-95 % un Kapampangan speaker because of migration nga un iba taga province na may kaya dumadami mas pinipili manirahan dito instead of MM dhil congested na sa MM at mahal manirahan doon. so ang option nila ay to choose Pampanga as their place to live dahil parang MM narin ang quality of living kung ano makikita sa manila ay halos nandito na at superb ang mga infra dito in less than an hour nasa manila kana.

there are also other reason kung bakit napapatagalog un kapampangan speaker sa mall, resto, resort, school etc etc. the reason is may isa sa group of friends or family na puro tagalog ex. samin nlang kapampangan kami lahat taz my hipag kami na tagalog so kahit saan kami magpunta bsta kasama un hipag namin lahat nagtatagalog para maintindihin ng hipag namin un pinaguusapan. marami talaga proud mgkapampangan like me pero dhil sa sitwasyon na ganun kaya nakakapagsalita ng tagalog.

mestiza simply means mixed blood. kahit american pa ang mix o chinese, mestiza pa rin tawag.

Angeles indeed has the highest number of mestizos/mestizas, especially Amerasians.

Chinese mestizos/mestizas most probably hail from Guagua because there has been a mass migration of Chinese people from Manila back when the Spaniards were killing off Chinese people in Manila. The high number of Chinese mestizos/mestizas in San Fernando (if indeed, true) could simply be migrants from Guagua. HENSON for example is a Chinese surname.

Just so you know, yo hablo Espanol, courtesy of my grandfather who was a mestizo from Cagayan de Oro (Spanish mestizo if you may wanna call him). Yes, "mestizo" in Spanish literally means "of mixed blood" and I even read in Wikipedia that they FORMALLY use the term for any Filipino of mixed race. However, we never call the chinoys as mestizo, rather we refer to them as "chinito," just to differentiate the Spanish (or any Caucasian) from the Chinese/Japanese/Korean (Oriental).

A good analogy is Cuba where they universally speak Spanish, hence they know the meaning of "mestizo." They refer to their blacks (African) as "mulattos" as opposed to "mestizo" pertaining to a descendant of Spain.

If you wanna be formal, yes you can use the term "mestizo" to any Pinoys na may ibang lahi (therefore, we can call those with African-American parents as one. Medio ironic nga lang). But for a layman and for the purpose of distinguising mestizo from chinito, we mean "mestizo" as Caucasian/White versus "chinito" as one with Oriental features.

i think mas mababa pa 90-95 % un Kapampangan speaker because of migration nga un iba taga province na may kaya dumadami mas pinipili manirahan dito instead of MM dhil congested na sa MM at mahal manirahan doon. so ang option nila ay to choose Pampanga as their place to live dahil parang MM narin ang quality of living kung ano makikita sa manila ay halos nandito na at superb ang mga infra dito in less than an hour nasa manila kana.

you must travel more to the outskirts of Pampanga, or even of just Angeles City. marami pa rin mga Kapampangan. I have been to all barangays in Angeles, from Sapang Bato and Cuayan, and even dulo sa east, Cutud, Pulung Cacutud, at sa southwest (Cutcut), Kapampangan pa rin ang dominant.

Prominent lang yung mga migrants at first glance lalo na kung puro Balibago/Malabanas/Clark lang ang napupuntahan mo sa Angeles. but really, they're a small number pa rin.

Ang issue dito ay yung prime urban barangays ng Angeles like Balibago and Malabanas ang nababawasan ng pagka-Kapampangan, at ang mga "pure" Kapampangan ay narerelegate sa outskirts. di dapat ganito.

there are also other reason kung bakit napapatagalog un kapampangan speaker sa mall, resto, resort, school etc etc. the reason is may isa sa group of friends or family na puro tagalog ex. samin nlang kapampangan kami lahat taz my hipag kami na tagalog so kahit saan kami magpunta bsta kasama un hipag namin lahat nagtatagalog para maintindihin ng hipag namin un pinaguusapan. marami talaga proud mgkapampangan like me pero dhil sa sitwasyon na ganun kaya nakakapagsalita ng tagalog.

kami sa Kapampangan advocacy groups, we really see this as a problem. our "overhospitality." instead of letting outsiders adjust to us, we cater to them. okay lang naman yun, kung bisita sila, or guests. Pero kung matagal na sila sa Pampanga, I think sila na dapat ang umadjust sa Kapampangan.

Has anyone tried this?

In one of the events I had attended in Angeles City, Pampanga, I chanced upon the very friendly and young Executive Chef and Food and Beverage Manager of Century Hotel (at the back of PAGCOR) who had recommended Mila’s Tokwa’t Baboy located on San Andres St. Barangay Sto Domingo, Angeles City, Pampanga. This is very well known among residents of Angeles and San Fernando and has been an institution having been serving meals for more than two decades.

Mila’s is essentially an eatery that specializes in pork. It serves its sizzling sisig chopped in a crisp fried version rather than grilled and also serves a tokwa’t baboy version that I prefer because of the presence of more crisp pork ear cartilage on the mix. It also has a crispy pork face which is a rightful rival to crispy pata.

OFW farmer calls for creation of trading post in Pampanga
http://businessmirror.com.ph/
http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/
http://businessmirror.com.ph/images/stories/daily_images/2012/April/04122012/agri01.jpg
STA. RITA, Pampanga—Roy Imperial, former director of the Department of Agriculture’s (DA) High Value Commercial Crops Division, said Fidel David had been considered for a full scholarship grant on modern agricultural farming in Israel.

The consultant-adviser of Pampanga Gov. Lilia Pineda said David “would be the best farmer to send as he is passionately involved in organic farming,” largely patronized in Israel.

David told Imperial that “I have many things to do here and other farmers may be more qualified for the study grant.”

Imperial said David is the “wise choice” because he will surely share to other farmers what he learns in Israel.

Last year, David was featured in a Metro Manila magazine for his successful yield of Jade Lady honeydew melons.

David developed the green-colored fruits at his greenhouse donated through the DA’s High Value Crop Development program initiated by Pampanga Second District Rep. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

Several farmers who received greenhouses are encouraged by David’s success in growing honeydew melons under greenhouse condition using organic fertilizers. They also want to learn David’s methodology.

But David’s success story on growing honeydew melons had been cut short by the so-called “greed and unfair market practice of some middlemen.”

He said a prominent and well-known firm had purchased his honeydew melons for P20 per kilo. A few days later he found that the private firm had sold his fruits at P120 per kilo at a mall in Pampanga.

David urged Pampanga Gov. Lilia Pineda to help farmers get a fair share in marketing their fruits and vegetables.

“We do all the work and invest our hard-earned money on our crops. But it’s the middlemen who benefit a lot when they have nothing to lose but everything to gain,” said David.

He asked the first-term governor to create a trading post similar to what Agriculture Sec. Proceso Alcala fully supported in Sariaya, Quezon. The vegetable trading post called “Sentrong Pamilihan ng Produktong Agrikultura” benefited Quezon farmers, most of whom were from the province’s Second District where Alcala was a former congressman.

Imperial said the governor had asked him earlier to make a study on the trading post or center along the Olongapo-Gapan Rd.

“Governor Pineda was inspired by the success of the trading post pushed by Secretary Alcala in Quezon. She asked me to make a thorough study of the trading center to make sure it will be beneficial, especially to farmers,” said Imperial.

Butil Farmers Partylist Rep. Agapito Guanlao of Pampanga also pushed for the creation of a trading center in the province.

David said the national government should help farmers sell their produce in a set-up where they will earn more instead of the middlemen. He said the money and time spent by the government on subsidizing farmers should be used instead in helping them market and sell their fruits and vegetables properly.

“The farmers can buy their fertilizers and other needs. The real problem is that they don’t get much profit from their products due to unfair marketing practices,” said David.

He said that if there is a trading post in Pampanga, just like the one they have in Quezon, farmers can bring their products at the trading post, selling their produce at a higher price compared to what the middlemen offer them.

David pinned his hopes on Pineda, saying “the governor has been helping her people a lot and the farmers have high hopes on her.”

He said he is ready to help Pineda on her projects designed to help farmers get a better yield and improve their lives, adding he was alarmed by his own study and survey that the average age of farmers in Pampanga is 54. He surveyed the age of at least 1,000 farmers.

He said the project of Pineda should encourage younger people to engage in the noble but rewarding profession of farming.

“As I have said, farming is where the money is. We just have to know and practise new technologies and not just rely on planting palay,” said David. “The trading post is just the missing piece.”

Sto. Tomas honors residents’ skills in 3rd Sabuaga festival

STO. TOMAS, Pampanga – This town which dominates the coffin-making industry in the country celebrated its 3rd Sabuaga Festival on Sunday highlighted by a parade, participated mostly by residents wearing colorful costumes.

Mayor Joselito Naguit stressed that the festival was “basically to honor the genuine craftsmanship and skills” of people living in the seven barangays here. His town reportedly produces 70 percent of the total coffin demands.

Slogans and posters of “One Barangay, One Product” were displayed in the parade and venue of the Sabuaga’s opening in Poblacion. The town is also known for its pottery making industry.

Irwin Nucum, one of the co-founders of Sabuaga, said that the more than one century tradition was revived by the municipal government, religious and lay leaders from the old town ritual of celebrating Easter Sunday.

He added that” Sabuaga” comes from the combination of sabuag (scatter) and sampaga (flowers) from custom sagalas’ (town beauties) showering of petals on the image of the Virgin Mary during the tradition of “Salubong.”

Nucum and Andy Alviz of Sta. Rita town combined to compose the theme song for the three-year-old festival.

Sam Santos of the Parish Pastoral Council said the festival “is unique because the local government and our members are working closely together to make the event successful.”

Former 4th District Rep. Rimpy Bondoc and Board Member Nestor Tolentino graced the festival which started at 3:00 p.m.

Naguit disclosed that Barangay San Matias had won the over-all crown in the festival dubbed this year as “It’s more fun in Sto. Tomas.” It also had a contest for the best in Sabuaga costume, streetdancing and free interpretation performance.

3-Billion infra for Pampanga approved

| More |

Thursday, April 12, 2012

THE Regional Development Council (RDC) recently approved the implementation of P3.056 billion worth of infrastructure projects in Pampanga.

Under the Convergence Program for Enhancing Tourism Access of the Departments of Tourism (DOT) and Public Works and Highways (DPWH), the RDC approved the infrastructure projects, which include the P277-million widening of the West Circumferential Road in Angeles City; P185-million widening of Clark-Angeles-Magalang road in Angeles City; P694-million road widening leading to the Clark International Airport Route 1 in the cities of Angeles and San Fernando; P327-million road widening leading to CIA Route 2 in Angeles City; P600-million road leading to CIA Route 3 in Angeles City; P600-million East Circumferential Road in Angeles City; and the P373-million rehabilitation of Olongapo-San Fernando Road.

Other projects approved are the P201-million widening and concreting of Paseo del Congreso in Malolos City and the P75-million widening of the Lourdes Road-Clark Air Base in Bamban, Tarlac.

In a statement, the RDC said â€œRepublic Act 9593, otherwise known as the Tourism Act of 2009, declares tourism as an indispensable element of the national economy and an industry of national interest and importance which must be harnessed as an engine of socio-economic growth and cultural affirmation to generate investment, foreign exchange and employment and to continue to mold an enhanced sense of national pride for all Filipinos.

As such, the law established the Tourism Infrastructure Program for identification and immediate funding of vital access roads, airports, and seaports in tourism areas across the archipelago.â€

The program is being implemented by DOT and DPWH in partnership with the Department of Transportation and Communications and Department of Budget and Management.

Proposed projects must obtain the approval of the RDC in order for its inclusion in the budget of DPWH.

RDC is the highest policy-making body in Central Luzon and serves as the counterpart of the NEDA Board at the subnational level.

It is the primary institution that coordinates and sets the direction of all economic and social development efforts in the region and serves as a forum where local efforts can be related and integrated with national development activities.

Council members include all governors, city mayors, municipal mayors of capital towns, presidents of municipal mayorsâ€™ league, regional directors of national government agencies and representatives from the private sector. (Marna Dagumboy-del Rosario)

For purposes of clustering, the list is numbered to 12. It added that until the 90's, the Philippines can speak of only two business districts, Makati and Ortigas. At present we have at least 10 new business districts in the Metro Manila and additional 10 districts outside of the NCR. Here are the identified and the emerging new hot locations, in random order:

1. Metro CALABARZON (Dasmarinas, Sta. Rosa and Lipa City)
2. Metro Cebu
3. Metro Pampanga (Angeles City-Mabalacat-San Fernando)
4. Cities of Bacolod and Iloilo
5. Davao City

Lawmakers join opposition over renaming airport
By Jovi T. De Leon

Thursday, April 12, 2012

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO -- Members of the City of San Fernando’s Council joined Wednesday other lawmakers in opposing the proposed changing of the name of the Diosdado Macapagal International Airport (DMIA) to Clark International Airport (CIA).

In a resolution sponsored by Councilor Noel Tulabut and unanimously approved by the body, the lawmakers proclaimed their opposition to the ballyhooed “name game,” saying “reverting to the old name of Clark simply goes against the grain of nationalist renaming as reflected in a guideline of the National Historical Commission.”

Metro Pampanga has already been elevated to a Center of Excellence in the same ranking as Metro Manila and Metro Cebu. This means that at this point, it is considered a mature site and have a well developed ecosystem in place to attract all the IT-BPO investors that Metro Pampanga can hold. The CICT and BPAP have written a comprehensive report on all top ten New Wave cities in 2009. This is a very good marketing collateral that you can share with potential/prospective investors. It is the CICT-BPAP scorecard in narrative form.If you want to get hold of this published Next Wave City Journal, you can get in touch with BPAP and perhaps purchase the said publication at 5,000 each.From rank 6 last year to a center of excellence this year!!

nung 2010, may sinign ang Angeles government na resolution "EXPRESSING FULL SUPPORT TO THE PROJECT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS AND HIGHWAYS (DPWH) FOR THE CITY’S ROAD NETWORKING DEVELOPMENT PLAN."

Resolved by the Sangguniang Panlungsod of Angeles in session assembled that a resolution expressing full support to the project of the Department Of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) for the City’s Road Networking Development Plan, which are as follows:

1. Conversion of West-Circumferential Road from city road to national road.

[kung di po ako nagkakamali, ito po ang FRIENDSHIP HIWAY. wow, national road na!]

2. Construction of Angeles City East Circumferential Road and its component structures.

[alin po itong East Circumferential Road? or wala pa, kasi nga iko-construct pa lang?]

3. Widening of Angeles-Magalang Road

[di ko sure kung ito ba yung Pandan Road-Magalang Road o yung Aniceto Gueco St. (yung street sa tapat ng Fields Ave.), or even better, BOTH!]

4. Improvement of East-West Road (Arayat Blvd.-Araw Malansik)

[ito po yung road pa-west ng Angeles, mula Marisol papuntang Enclave sa Friendship Hiway, all the way to Brgy. Cuayan]

5. Construction of Service Road parallel to NLEX linking the Municipality of San Simon, Mexico, Mabalacat, City of San Fernando and Angeles City.

[call me ignorant, but what exactly are service roads? i have a slight concept of a service/frontage road because of the one existing in Balibago, but how can a service road be built alongside an expressway??]

Tingin ko nga magandang maging sariling metro ang Pampanga at huwag ng ihanay sa Metro Manila kase sa tingin ko makakaya naman ng Pampanga na umusbong tungo sa kaunlaran kahit di sa tulong ng paguugnay dito sa Metro Manila. Halimbawa na lang ang San Fernando, date walang masyadong mga business establishment dyan pero ngayon dumami ang mga ito sa mc arthur highway pati JASA. Meron tayong sariling dialect na Kapampangan kaya tingin ko dapat meron din tayong sariling kaunlaran sa ating sariling bakuran ng walang bahid ng ibang lalawigan.

from Punto Central Luzon, sinulat ni Angeles Mayor EdPam:

The Metro Clark Area (MCA), Metro Subic Area (MSA), and Metro Tarlac Area (MTA) constitute the Subic-Clark Corridor’s Region-Wide Macro Framework. Within and around the Corridor’s macro-framework new road systems and support infra-structure facilities, such as the following, are envisioned to promote and hasten social and economic growth and development:

New Road Systems for the Corridor’s Macro Framework

1. New non-tollway radial roads linking Tarlac towns, e.g. Capas, Bamban, etc., with Zambales towns, e.g. Iba, Botolan, etc.

2. New circumferential road systems linking Pampanga Province with Tarlac Province (RC-1 & RC-2) and Subic with Pampanga, Nueva Ecija and Tarlac (RC-3);

3. New radials linking parts of Tarlac and Nueva Ecija (Tarlac-Iba Road, Tarlac-Nueva Ecija-Aurora-Dingalan Road and Capas-Botolan Road) and possibly Pampanga and Bulacan;

4. A possible viaduct coastal tollway system linking the provinces of Bulacan, Pampanga and Bataan; and

5. Radial road connecting Zambales and Pampanga (San Marcelino-Floridablanca Road).

New Road Systems for the Corridor’s Micro Framework

1. A service road system that will run parallel to the SCTEx, possibly at a distance of 5 km. east of the SCTEx (a significant stretch of the service road will be outside of the Corridor study area); it will run from the Tarlac-Nueva Ecija-Aurora-Dingalan Road in the north and connect with Angeles-Porac-Floridablanca Road in the south;

2. A service road system within the designated development areas around the toll Plazas of the SCTEx;

3. New roads inside the Subic Bay Freeport Zone CBD and bridges to connect with Olongapo City;

4. Road projects that would improve circulation within the Mabalacat CBD and Improve its linkages to mother urban centers;

[may Mabalacat CBD pala? :lol:]

5. Road projects such as the radial road connecting east-west portions of Angeles City and the eastern circumferential road (ECR) should be encouraged;

6. Interconnection of Tarlac City with Hacienda Luisita; and

7. A western arterial road at the 5 km. edge of the SCAD Corridor to run parallel to the SCTEx from Tarlac City in the north to Bamban in the south.

Road Improvement Projects

1. Widening and improvement of the Bataan Expressway;

2. SCTEx interface with the Tarlac-Pangasinan Expressway (TPLEx);

3. Road improvement of Angeles-Porac-Floridablanca-Dinalupihan to serve as service road of SCTEx south of Angeles City; and

4. Road improvement/expansion/extension of Mabalacat-Magalang Road to connect Mabalacat CBD with proposed SCTEx service road.

SCTEx Related Projects

1. Entry/exit ramp for the southbound lane at Dolores interchange in Mabalacat;

2. Upgrading/widening of Porac and Floridablanca access roads to the SCTEx interchange;

3. Interconnect the six (6) Concepcion overpasses over SCTEx, i.e., at both sides of the SCTEx to enhance access and productivity;

4.For the Tarlac LGUs, develop new artwerial roads at the edge of the 10.0 km wide SCAD Corridor;

5. Adjust the depth of the no-built zone and built-up area enveloping it, at toll plazas of Tarlac/La Paz, Luisita, Concepcion toll plazas;

6. Shorter and more direct (westward) access road to Dinalupihan town proper from Dinalupihan interchange; and

7. Entry/exit ramp for southbound lane at Hacienda Luisita interchange.

Possible NorthRail Projects

1. “Land Port” development at the Tarlac area, i.e.,possibly at Bamban, Capas or Hacienda Luisita (mainly freight-oriented, with interfaces between NorthRail and other overland transport systems) at the short to medium term;

2. Clark-Subic connection (commuter and freight) at medium to long term;

3. Clark-Damortis (La Union) connection (commuter and freight) at medium to long term;

4. Clark-San Jose (Nueva Ecija) connection (commuter and freight) at medium to long term;

hi moving Pi welcome back how are u? have you find a suitable place to stay in angeles? your last post it looks like you want to stay in xevera mabalacat... keep posting buddy jam with us :-)

first off thanks honda :) i love sending my friend messages in tagalog when she knows i dont speak a word of it :)

karisma, im well thanks for asking i have a lease here in vegas until july 15th and then im on my way

ive heard some bad things about xevera, right now the plan is to land on the 15th and go straight to makati and then slowly branch out from there as its going to be some massive culture shock, not sure if im going to end up staying in manila or not gonna check into clark/xevera/angeles and maybe subic or cebu, but id guess i will most likely just end up with a condo in makati

the lady who im sending these texts to actually has a friend from PI (who used to be the mayor of i wanna say panginisaan) and she owns some condos in quezon city and she is finding out if any of them are empty at the moment, i would love to rent from her because ive heard that sometimes the land lords can rip off foreigners by not giving back deposits and asking for 2 months deposit and what not....

hope all is well over there, its the rainy season right?

rainy season here is June up to September.. right now its summer until May.

are you staying here for vacation for a month or 2? if thats the case and money is not a big deal for you well, MAKATI is the right place for you, if you want a condo i will suggest 2 place for you AYALA CENTER, MAKATI and THE FORT, TAGUIG CITY (near Makati) this place are close to evrything and its the prime main business district in the Phils. but if the mayor ur talking about has a condo in QUEZON CITY try to choose EASTWOOD LIBIS, QUEZON CITY.
(just search the internet those places i mention to have an idea what it looks like)

But if u want to stay longer in the phils. and ur budget is tight the best place for you is 1. ANGELES/CLARK 2. SUBIC 3. BAGUIO CITY. 4. CEBU CITY

Angeles city is 80KM away from Manila this place is amazing if you love night life bar hopping, shopping, resort, plenty of Casino (im not encourage you to play in casino you will end up loosing all your money hehe) but if you love living in with nature surrounded by beaches SUBIC(50Km away from Clark) is a place for you.

Dun na lang dalhin yun :D kanya-kanyang function ng thread.

kapag seryoso ang usapan (meaning on-topic), I am sure na marami ang nagbabasa, kahit di nagkocomment. laktaw laktaw na lang nun sa mga joke joke posts.

naranasan ko na rin dati kasi na may usapang seryoso akong sinusundan. ang hirap itrace nung pinagmulan nung usapan kasi ang daming "intermission" between page numbers. nade-defeat ang purpose ng SSC.

Pampanga Readies P1B For Wastes

SAN FERNANDO CITY, Philippines — Pampanga is expected to spend at least P1.4 billion annually for garbage collection as the condition of the open and controlled dumpsites in the province has reached an alarming state, the Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office (PENRO) reported Friday.

PENRO Chief Arturo Punzalan said the amount will be used for the hauling of garbage in various sanitary landfills in Pampanga to the Kalangitan Sanitary Landfill in Capas, Tarlac.

Punzalan said that the province spends P15,000 for every truck of garbage produced by different towns in the province.

He said the province has already spent thousands of pesos in the establishment of clustered material recovery facilities (MRFs) in various localities.

Governor Lilia Pineda, meanwhile, is still pushing for the establishment of clustered MRFs in villages to reduce the volume of garbage to be hauled in Tarlac. (Mark Anthony N. Manuel)

along M.A. Roxas highway siya. nasa "left side" siya ng highway kung galing ka ng Main Gate.

honestly, I don't think it is very accessible to people with no cars. I don't know how an ordinary citizen like me can enjoy going there. Probably ang target market ng Clark Northwalk ay yung mga pauwi galing trabaho sa call centers. Instead na sa Balibago sila pupunta, diyan sila sa Northwalk pupunta. Nice idea, pero parang di rin magigng effective. Balibago has a charm conducive to gimik :D Northwalk should have situated itself somewhere across SM Clark... dami naman lupa dun. banda sa area nung dating Main Gate

im really not sure how long im gonna stay, i see it as moving not as a vacation, but obviously if im not liking it i will come back (or actually if i dont like it then ill check out thailand and maybe cambodia, then if i dont like any of them ill come back)

im certainly not rich and part of the reason i am choosing PI is the cheaper cost of living, ideally id like to spend as little as possible on rent (who wouldnt) but if makati is the only place i feel comfortable ill have to stay there, only reason i even think this is because on the poker forum where ive got most of my PI info on they all say how makati is the easiest place for a foreigner to transition to

ive read plenty about angeles, it sounds.... ummmm.... interesting :)

just not sure i want to tell my mom im living in angeles and have her google it..........

but ive heard you can get some decent 1 bedroom apts there for under $300 a month which sounds great to me, plus im a guy and ive heard there are at least a couple of girls that live in the area

dont worry about the casino i live in vegas and play live poker at the casino every day, havent had a job in years, but it gets soooo boring and i want to play poker online again hence the reason im moving, so reliable internet is one of the bigger issues for me, and ive heard clark and metro manila are two of the best places for good internet

ive been researching since november, theres really only so much you can read about but i think ive got a pretty decent plan as of now

i was chatting with the head of the Angeles City Information Office... the green line is theoretically where the Angeles City East Circumferential Road will pass. :banana: it will connect Friendship Hiway/McArthur Hiway to Pandan Road... ang iniisip ko kung lalampas ba ito ng Abacan river (hence, the need for another bridge), connecting the East Circum Road to the Rotonda near Marquee, or hindi na, as seen below

ano kayang ipapangalan dito? sana hindi Aquino Highway or something. Sana ipangalan naman sa isang ancient Kapampangan kagaya ng ginawa sa Mabalacat, yung Panday Pira Road. Pueding Tarik Soliman Highway, Tarik Soliman (of Macabebe) being the first native in Luzon to resist the Spaniards

http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/7522/eastcircum.jpg

more info from Angeles Info Office (when I asked them why a service road parallel to NLEX is needed):

"to decongest McArthur Hiway. If you notice, all roads that lead to Clark and the DMIA are being improved, widened or constructed. Once DMIA is opened as the Pimary gateway of the philippines, NLEX and McArthur won't be able to accommodate the huge volume of traffic. with the completion of the Northrail system, products and goods will move faster from manila to clark and subic. Once completed, the North and south harbor will also be congested and subic Port will be dully utilized. Trace also the Tarlac-Dingalan Road, then the Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Expressway (TPLEX), then SCTEX. It will connect the Pacific Ocean in aurora and the west Philippine Sea in Subic."

I hope Northrail will have two stations in Angeles:

1 - either sa may La Pieta (near McArthur) o kaya sa may Aling Lucing (near Henson St)
2 - SM Clark or anywhere in Balibago

You’ve been modeling for four years now. Can you say you’re accomplished in your chosen field?
I’ve done bikini open, ramp modeling, nag-TV commercial na rin ako for cellphone and banking companies, so yes I can say that. Sa totoo lang, ayoko na ring mag-model. Nagsasawa na ako. Ha ha! This photo-shoot will be my last.

But why?
I want to focus on my studies muna. Kasi because of modeling, marami akong napabayaan. My schooling, for one. Mas nag-enjoy kasi ako sa modeling and dancing.

How about creative distractions, like men? Are you setting them aside too?
You know what, I’ve been single for three months now.

Are you the jealous type?
Selosa na malambing, tsaka…hindi ko alam! Ha ha! Basta maalagain ako pero ayaw kong dumidikit yung boyfriend ko sa ibang babae.

Does that go to say you’re loyal yourself?
Oo naman.

You’re from Pampanga. Can you cook sisig?
No. Sa bahay namin may tagaluto naman kasi. I’ve never had the chance to learn how to cook.

But you like to eat, do you?
A lot!

Then how do you keep your body that way?
Ewan ko. Ganito na talaga ang katawan ko. It’s more of a state of mind. Like pag rumarampa ako, I always think na ang ganda-ganda ko. That boosts my confidence, and everything else follows.

Pasingit na info lang para sa mga kababayan natin na gustong malaman ang distansya ng SM City Pampanga sa SM City San Fernando. Yan yung mapa mula SM Pampanga hanggang SM San Fernando. Roughly 3 KM or 10 Minutes ang layo kung walang traffic kung meron 15 to 20 Minutes ang biyahe mo by car. Kung commute ka lang mga 25 minutes pataas ang layo. So di siya kalayuan sa SM Pampanga. Merong mga alternantive routes na pwedeng daanan pero ito yung napili kung rota.

i think 4KM ang layo lagi ako nagbyabyahe jan. eto ang amazing bkit napakalapit ng distance noh napakalakas ng purchasing power talagang mapepera ang mga kapampangan.
sa tingin ko kaya ang 5minutes by car malawak ang JASA.
i think eto ang pinakamalapit na SM CITY to SM CITY rin at the distance of only 4KM. un SM CITY MANILA at SM CITY SAN LAZARO di ko alam distance nila pero malapit lang din. Cheers Cabalen!!

im really not sure how long im gonna stay, i see it as moving not as a vacation, but obviously if im not liking it i will come back (or actually if i dont like it then ill check out thailand and maybe cambodia, then if i dont like any of them ill come back)

im certainly not rich and part of the reason i am choosing PI is the cheaper cost of living, ideally id like to spend as little as possible on rent (who wouldnt) but if makati is the only place i feel comfortable ill have to stay there, only reason i even think this is because on the poker forum where ive got most of my PI info on they all say how makati is the easiest place for a foreigner to transition to

ive read plenty about angeles, it sounds.... ummmm.... interesting :)

just not sure i want to tell my mom im living in angeles and have her google it..........

but ive heard you can get some decent 1 bedroom apts there for under $300 a month which sounds great to me, plus im a guy and ive heard there are at least a couple of girls that live in the area

dont worry about the casino i live in vegas and play live poker at the casino every day, havent had a job in years, but it gets soooo boring and i want to play poker online again hence the reason im moving, so reliable internet is one of the bigger issues for me, and ive heard clark and metro manila are two of the best places for good internet

ive been researching since november, theres really only so much you can read about but i think ive got a pretty decent plan as of now

anyways thanks ill be back with some random questions from time to time

what a beautiful life for you movingPi, you have a capability to travel from one country to another :-)

actually you can have a decent house in angeles at 200$ and internet is not a problem it has fast access internet connection..

i guarantee, you'll gonna love it here besides for the wonderful amenities i mention people here are friendly and hospitable and very fluent in english unlike other asian country there is language barrier on it.

just enjoy your stay here.. and who knows your destiny is here, you will end up marrying a beautiful filipina and live happily ever after :-) :-)

P3.14- B CL Infra Projects OK'd
By MARK ANTHONY N. MANUEL
April 11, 2012, 5:36pm

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO, Pampanga — The Regional Development Council of Region 3 (RDC3) has approved the proposed P3.147-billion worth of road and infrastructure projects in Central Luzon.

Under the Convergence Program for Enhancing Tourism Access of the Department of Tourism (DOT) and the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), the RDC has approved the proposed P277-million project to widen the West Circumferential Road in Angeles City; the P185-million widening of Clark-Angeles-Magalang road in Angeles City; and the P694-million widening of road leading to the Diosdado Macapagal International Airport (DMIA) Route 1 in the cities of Angeles and San Fernando.

Also approved were the P327-million road leading to DMIA Route 2 in Angeles City; the P600-million road leading to DMIA Route 3 in Angeles City; the P600-million East Circumferential road in Angeles City; the P373-million rehabilitation of Olongapo-San Fernando road in Olongapo City; the P201-million widening and concreting of Paseo del Congreso in Malolos City; and the P75-million Lourdes Road- Clark Air Base in Bamban, Tarlac.

Republic Act No. 9593, otherwise known as the Tourism Act of 2009, declares tourism as an indispensable element of the national economy and an industry of national interest and importance which must be harnessed as an engine of socio-economic growth and cultural affirmation to generate investment, foreign exchange and employment and to continue to mold an enhanced sense of national pride for all Filipinos. As such, the law established the Tourism Infrastructure Program for identification and immediate funding of vital access roads, airports, and seaports in tourism areas across the archipelago,” the RDC3 said in a statement.

The program is being implemented by DOT and DPWH in partnership with Department of Transportation and Communication and Department of Budget and Management.

The proposed projects must obtain the approval of the RDC for them to be included in the DPWH budget.

The RDC 3 is the highest policy-making body in Central Luzon and serves as the counterpart of the National Economic and Development Authority Board at the subnational level.

It is the primary institution that coordinates and sets the direction of all economic and social development efforts in the region and serves as a forum where local efforts can be related and integrated with national development activities.

Council members include all governors, city mayors, municipal mayors of capital towns, presidents of municipal mayors’ league, regional directors of national government agencies and representatives from the private sector.

:lol: wrong and misguided again. it's the same reason Cebuanos and some elder IGorots prefer using English over TAGALOG (which is linguistically the same as Filipino). before arguing, it's better to study the issue in detail first.

plus, i have proven myself to be proficient in all three languages: Kapampangan, "Filipino," and English. Just last month, a Kapampangan book was launched by the National Committee on Literary Arts, and I was one of the contributors with my Kapampangan short story "Ding Pusa King Iskuela." I have local and national awards for each of these languages, which I will no longer enumerate. the issue being hit is when Kapampangans PRIVILEGE Tagalog and English over their own, and then completely forget Kapampangan.

mas okay na sa akin ang maka-Kapampangan na marunong din mag-English... Kapampangan for local pride, English for international competence. Filipino/Tagalog is as foreign as English for non-Tagalogs. It was made "national" by the Japanese colonial government to coincide with Hirohito's "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere."

tsk tsk tsk. Pampanga has several flood-prone barangays. Which is not surprising since we are PAMPANGa. our ancestors are well-acquainted with perennial flooding. pero since "moderno" na ang buhay ngayon (at kinalimutan na ang ways of the ancestors), ayan, nagkakaproblema sa baha.

yung isang barangay sa Candaba na napuntahan ko, sanay sa perennial flooding. Their houses have stilts and each household has a banca ready for the rainy season.

here check out this photo of stilt houses I took in Candaba several years ago:

QUESTION: What's to become of the Nepo Complex in Angeles City?

ANSWER (by Angeles Info Office): they are applying to have that area declared as an IT park. It would be a special economic zone but would be developed into an IT Village, similar to that of Cebu, near the Waterfront Hotel in Lahug where a number of BPOs have set up offices and headquarters.

here is a photo of Cebu's Asiatown IT Park. Imagine when Nepo becomes like this :banana:

This is a great example! :banana: If the leaders of Angeles have any vision, they'd work on turning the Nepo area into this. My other wish is for the gentrification of the area around San Nicolas public market. It's lively and all but the old business district could definitely benefit from a facelift.

E kung palagi ba namang Kapampangan poetry ang idea nila for "promotion of Kapampangan language," wala talagang mangyayari.

Kapampangan should be used in films, modern music, comic books, un-corny theater, competent TV shows, magazines filled with pictures of the PRESENT (palagi na lang kasing pictures ng mga ninuno, kadalasan black and white or sepia)

Kapampangan should be promoted as a language fit for the MODERN PRESENT/FUTURE. So far, almost all Kapampangan-promoting projects promote Kapampangan as a language of the ancestors, of past heritage. Hence, di siya kinakagat ng makabagong kabataan. Masyadong "museumish" ang approach. Dapat pop ang approach. Pop doesnt mean campy though

New group calls for stronger provincial language council
Sunday, April 15, 2012

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO – The newly formed group, Kapampangan Pride, urged Saturday officials from the Provincial Government and Angeles City to help strengthen the Pampanga Provincial Language Council in order to institutionalize the use of the Kapampangan dialect.

Romeo Rodriguez, one of the public relations officers of Kapampangan Pride, requested the concerned legislative body through Vice Governor Joseller “Yeng” Guiao to revisit Board Resolution No. 1193 approved on May 8, 2008, which created the Pampanga Provincial Language Council.

Have something to report? Tell us in text, photos or videos.

He claimed that the said measure merely called for the annual observance of “Aldo Ning Amanung Sisuan” but failed to empower the people of the province in giving greater importance to Kapampangan culture, tradition and other practices.

As this developed, the group proposed to the Provincial Board to allocate funds in order to further cultivate and enrich the Kapampangan culture by hiring experts and workers who would be primarily responsible in research, information dissemination and propagation of the native culture in the country and even abroad.

The Kapampangan Pride, upon the approval of Archbishop Paciano Aniceto, envisioned the holding of an annual “Kapampangan Mass Media Awards” similar to the Catholic Mass Media Awards being administered by the Archdiocese of Manila.

The group also believed that with the support of Mayor Edgardo Pamintuan of Angeles City, they could attain their objective in promoting the Kapampangan culture.

The newly Kapampangan Pride inducted officers were Marciano Mangalindan, president; Angelica Hizon, executive vice president; John Manalili, vice president for local and national affairs; Bernard Aguirre, vice president for international affairs; Landlee Quiwa, vice president for communications, broadcast, music and arts; Josephine De Leon; secretary; Mary Rose Macaspac, assistant secretary; Marinella Go-Buizon, treasurer; and Carlos Castro, internal auditor.

The group’s spiritual adviser is Rev. Fr. Melo Agustin, while poet Teresa Evangelista is the officer-in-charge for “Indung Kapampangan.” (Herbert P.Mapiles)

it's a wonder how Angeles City is rapidly overflowing with progress, considering that most highly urbanized cities have access to the sea and beaches (Cebu City, Iloilo City, Bacolod City, P. Princesa City), or have a distinct geography and climate (Baguio City), or are regional/provincial capitals (Naga City, Davao City), or are simply part of the National Capital Region :) Angeles City has none of these features. It is landlocked, it is hot like most places in the Philippines, most of its land is flat, and it rests quietly on the northwestern quarter of Pampanga. Yet development is nonstop. And if you think about the destruction brought to this city more than two decades ago by the Pinatubo eruption and succeeding lahars, you'd really wonder how all this is possible.

It can't be just the girly bars :D

http://angelescity.com/img/fpc&extimages%20035.jpg

"There's no doubt that Angeles City, particularly its entertainment district, has witnessed an incredible transformation in the last few years. Condominium and hotel constructions are going skywards and the price of properties have sky-rocketed to as much as P40,000/m2 (nearly $1000/m2) in some locations along the Fields Avenue strip. Eight-storey buildings (and higher!) for the first time are a 'normal' sight in the city and slowly but surely a skyline is emerging as can be seen in the photo above.

Current constructions within the shot include: The Wild Orchid hotel extension, Icon condominiums, Penthouse condominium, ABC hotel extension, Clark terminal hotel and Grandview tower in the far back."

"ng" (nang) and "mga" (manga) are really strange Filipino words.

for English, I find the pronunciation of "one" (wun) weird, when in fact, it should be read "own," like with "phone" or "cone"

Three PH Mayors vying for World Mayor Prize
Yahoo! Southeast Asia NewsroomBy Shielo Mendoza | Yahoo! Southeast Asia Newsroom – 10 hours ago

Three city mayors from the Philippines are vying for the 2012 World Mayor Prize, an award given to outstanding mayors worldwide.

Manila Mayor Alfredo Lim, Angeles City Mayor Edgardo Pamintuan and Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio were among the award's initial candidates, the City Mayors Foundation published last week.

“The prize is awarded to a mayor who has made outstanding contributions to his/her community and has developed a vision for urban living and working that is relevant to towns and cities across the world,” the international foundation said in its website.

As of this month, 88 mayors from all over the world were nominated for the award – 16 from North America, 13 from Latin America, 30 from Europe, 19 from Asia, three from Australasia and seven from Africa.

Online nominations will be accepted until mid-May while a shortlist of 25 nominees will be published in early June. Winners and other results of the World Mayor Project will be announced in December.

“When contemplating the shortlist for the 2012 World Mayor Prize, the City Mayors Foundation will take into account the number of nominations a mayor has received from separate individuals and organizations and, more importantly, the persuasiveness of supporting statements,” it said.

Previous winners of the award were Marcelo Ebrard of Mexico City in 2010, Helen Zille of Cape Town in 2008, John So of Melbourne in 2006, Dora Bakoyannis of Athens in 2005, and Edi Rama of Tirana in 2004.

Meanwhile, three Philippine city mayors have made it to the top 10 since its establishment in 2004: then Marikina City mayor Marides Fernando ranked 7th in 2008; former Makati mayor now vice president Jejomar Binay placed 4th in 2006; and still incumbent mayor of San Fernando, Pampanga, Oscar Rodriguez, bagged the 4th spot in 2005.

The City Mayors Foundation, an international think tank on urban affairs, said it organized the World Mayor Prize to “honor mayors with the vision, passion and skills to make their cities incredible places to live in, work in and visit.”

The winner will receive the artistically acclaimed World Mayor trophy, while the runner-up will be given the World Mayor Commendation, it added.

The Penthouse Hotel brings a new level of aesthetics and design to the cityscape of Angeles City. The tallest building ever built in Pampanga and Central Luzon, The Penthouse Hotel will rise above the rest and be the finest hotel in the city. Operating as a full service luxury hotel, The Penthouse Hotel will offer a wide array of service and amenities along with effortless ownership.

The city is surrounded by pleasant green areas, and positioned to take advantage of the beautiful views over the Pinatubo Volcano and surrounding mountains. We have maximized the views from each home, with floor to ceiling, pillar to pillar glass. And then atop the roof, you can relax in Central Luzon’s highest pool with spectacular views of the area.

Para kay Karisma to at sa mga Kapampangan. Kung di nga siguro tayo sinakop ng mga Kastila malamang karamihan mga Muslim tayo :)

Tantingco: How Pampanga became Catholic

By Robby Tantingco

LUBAO, known to many as the Vatican of jueteng and the town that gave us two presidents (Diosdado Macapagal and Gloria Arroyo) and two movie kings who nearly unseated those two presidents (Rogelio de la Rosa and Fernando Poe Jr.), should now assert itself as the birthplace of Christianity in this province.

It was in this town where the Augustinian missionaries, who accompanied Spanish conquistador Miguel Lopez de Legazpi, first planted the seeds of our Catholic faith, in 1571.

Had this event not happened, we would be Muslims today. According to documents, Lubao had 3,500 Muslim inhabitants, which was as many as those in Cebu. Betis also had 3,500, Macabebe 2,600 and Candaba 2,000, making Pampanga probably the biggest Muslim area in this part of the archipelago.

If we were not Muslims, we would most likely be Protestants or Anglicans, because the Dutch invaded Luzon repeatedly from 1606 to 1645, and the British occupied Manila in 1762.

Our ancestors first heard of Christ in July 1571 when the Spanish ships, bearing soldiers and missionaries, first entered Kapampangan territory following the defeat and death of “the brave youth from Macabebe” on June 3, 1571.

You could tell that Kapampangans dropped Islam and paganism in favor of Catholicism rather quickly, because only ten short months later, on May 5, 1572 to be exact, the first two visitas were erected in the province, one in Lubao and the other in Betis.

(A visita, like today’s bisitas, was a community of baptized Catholics marked by a chapel, not a church, because it was not yet big enough to qualify as a parroquia or parish. It was regularly visited by a priest from the nearest parish. In the case of Lubao and Betis, the nearest parish was Tondo.)

The other ancient towns in Pampanga became visitas or parroquias in rapid succession: Macabebe and Candaba in 1575, Bacolor in 1576, Mexico in 1581, Arayat, Sasmuan and Guagua in 1590, Porac in 1594, Apalit in 1597, Magalang in 1604, Minalin in 1614, and so forth.

If you are grateful for being a Catholic Kapampangan today, you should thank the Augustinian missionaries who risked life and limb to plant the seeds of Catholicism in 1571 and nurtured it throughout the 300-year stretch of the Spanish colonial period, in some cases even beyond it (many towns retained their Augustinian parish priests well until after World War II).

On May 5, 2012, as Lubao celebrates its 440th founding anniversary as a town, Catholic Kapampangans will also mark the 440th anniversary of the Catholic Faith in their province.

Lord Francis Musni, one of our consultants at the Center for Kapampangan Studies, is on top of preparations for these twin anniversaries, in coordination with the Archdiocese of San Fernando and the town leaders of Lubao.

Musni also facilitated the acquisition of first-class relics of St. Augustine and St. Monica from the Curia Generilizia in Rome, which will be formally turned over to the Parish of St. Augustine in Lubao and the Parish of St. Monica in Minalin on May 4, eve of the anniversaries.

This is the first time relics from the mortal remains of St. Augustine and St. Monica are coming to Pampanga. It’s important to have relics of these two saints because it was St. Augustine who founded the religious order to whom the Augustinian missionaries belonged, and it was his mother, St. Monica who had converted Augustine to Catholicism.

You could tell that Lubao was the premier parish in Pampanga because the Augustinians dedicated it to their founder.

You could also tell that Betis was prized by the Spaniards because it was dedicated to Santiago de Galicia (St. James the Moor-slayer), in recognition of the conversion of thousands of Muslims in the town.

Macabebe, on the other hand, was dedicated to St. Nicholas of Tolentino, patron of untamed beasts, because of its reputation for being home to fierce warriors, the Macabebes.

A few years ago, the Center for Kapampangan Studies and the Sangguniang Panlalawigan of Pampanga prepared a resolution officially thanking the Augustinians for their contribution to the province, not only because they introduced Christianity to us but also because they preserved our language and culture through the grammar books and dictionaries they wrote, and also because they defended Kapampangans from the abuses and excesses of their fellow Spaniards.

We have many accounts of how Kapampangans expressed their gratitude to their Augustinian parish priests by shielding them from the wrath of the revolutionaries, and by petitioning Spain to send them back after the country was turned over to the Americans.

Today, the Augustinians would be happy to see that the seeds they planted 440 years ago have grown into a giant tree.

Guv supports bigger DFA consular office in Pampanga

By Ian Ocampo Flora

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO -- Governor Lilia Pineda vowed Monday to support the establishment of a bigger and permanent office for the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) here.

She said the establishment of the consular office will further boost the service capabilities of the agency in handling needed services of overseas Filipino workers and tourists.

Pineda discussed this plan during a meeting with Pampanga Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PamCham) vice chairman Rene Romero, DFA Pampanga consular office Arturo V. Romua and DFA Office of the Undersecretary for Administration Special Assistant Elmer Cato at the Capitol here.

Pineda said the move will greatly boost the capability of the DFA in addressing the needs of Pampanga, which is known to have one of the highest overseas workers in Luzon.

“The establishment of a DFA office on its own permanent grounds that is accessible to the greater number of Kapampanngans and people coming from different regions will provide ease to our people who seek the services of the agency,” Pineda said.

She said she is committing to help in the funding of a DFA office here.

DFA officials said they will take seriously the proposal of Pineda and will discuss it with their colleagues for approval.

Pampanga’s mental health program ‘a first’ in Philippines

By Herbert P. Mapiles

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO -- The Mental Health Program (MHP) being implemented by the Provincial Government is believed to be the first in the country that provides free psychiatric consultation.

Dr. Joseph Gene Ponio, psychiatrist in-charge in the MHP, said that according to information gathered in different conventions involving mental health, only the province of Pampanga has an ongoing mental health program.

In fact, he said that due to the identification of psychiatric indigent patients in previous medical missions, Governor Lilia Pineda adapted a province-wide mental health awareness program that is based at the Diosdado Macapagal Memorial Provincial Hospital (DMMPH).

Ponio said the program started on October 2010. Since then, there had been a free psychiatric OPD clinic every Friday from 9 a.m. to 12 noon.

Aside from the psychiatric consultation, free psychiatric medications are given for a month to each patient passing the indigence screening at the Social Service Department of DMMPH.

He said Pineda, most of the time, sponsors acutely ill indigent or mentally disturbed patients to be admitted at the St. Claire Psychiatric Homecare for acute treatment.

After discharge, the patient is then subsequently referred to the program for continued OPD treatment.

Statistics showed that in 2011, an average of 84 patients per month were treated, with a total of 1009 in the first 12 months.

The distribution of patients, if grouped per district, is as follows; 82 patients (1st District), 507 (2nd), 138 (3rd), and 175 (4th).

Olongapo City, Angeles City, and the City of San Fernando are what I believe to be the triangle of development in Central Luzon. Tarlac City should begin to catch up, while Nueva Ecija and Bataan needs to urbanize more. Most likely, for Nueva Ecija, it will be Cabanatuan City that will rise as its center of urban development. For Bataan, di ko pa alam. Probably any of the towns surrounding the Hermosa Special Economic Zone.

The last sentence of this news item reads: The SM Clark is at a 20.5-hectare area at Clark but is at the borders of Balibago, Angeles City and Dau, Mabalacat town.

I spoke with Angeles Info Office recently and they said SM Clark belongs to Angeles City territory. (Hence, SM Clark pays some taxes to Angeles City govt). GGLC however is territorially under Mabalacat.

-----------------------
SM to invest P500M in BPO offices, retail stores at Clark

The SM Prime Holdings Inc. (SMPI) will infuse an initial P500 million in its expansion project at the SM Clark here, primarily creating office spaces for business process outsourcing (BPO) firms.

SM Clark assistant mall manager Ana Datu announced that the expansion project at a five-hectare area will start this month “for SMPI to serve their customers better and to be at par with the improvements” at Clark pushed by the Clark Development Corp. (CDC)

Datu said the SMPI’s initial budget of half a billion pesos will be for a four-story building just beside the SM Clark mall which opened in 2007. She added that the first and second floors will be for SM’s retail stores and the two other floors will be reserved for BPO offices.

“We will rent out the spaces for BPO such as in SM Pampanga,” said Datu, referring to the TeleTech Call Centre at the first mall in Pampanga of business tycoon Henry Sy.

Datu said they will also construct four more buildings in a 5.5-hectare area for their expansion “solely for BPO operations.” The SM Clark sits on a 16-hectare area here.

In a report to CDC President and CEO Felipe Antonio Remollo and CDC Assistant Vice President for investment Bernie Angeles, the SMPI said its target date for the project’s completion is in 2013. The expansion project will add 500 more workers at Clark which now has 62,000 workers.

SM Clark and its leased retail stores employ at least 3,000 people, Datu said.

In the same report to the CDC, tSMPI said the SM Clark expansion project will be a mixed-use facility for offices, retail and commercial stores, entertainment and leisure outlets and hotel/tourism related businesses.

For his part, Angeles City Mayor Edgardo Pamintuan said “this expansion of SM Clark in Angeles is an indication of a forthcoming surge of more investments in Clark and nearby areas.”

The SM Clark is at a 20.5-hectare area at Clark but is at the borders of Balibago, Angeles City and Dau, Mabalacat town.

League of cities prexy talks before world mayors

http://www.cityofsanfernando.gov.ph/cms/images/newsimages/geneva%20big%20final.jpg

Mayor Oscar S. Rodriguez highlighted the gains the City of San Fernando in Pampanga had in adopting the Performance Governance System (PGS) before leading city mayors from Africa, the Americas , Asia and Europe who gathered in a forum in Geneva , Switzerland from April 12 to 13, 2012.

In his speech during the final day of the conference dubbed: “Cities, The Laboratories of the Future”, Rodriguez shared with his fellow city mayors how the PGS helped the city government cope up with challenges in governance.

Rodriguez said the adoption of the PGS was a significant step towards harnessing the coveted public-private partnership. The PGS led to the birth of the city’s Multi-Sectoral Governance Council (MSGC), a council composed of private individuals helping the government formulate programs for the community.

“The PGS has been used as a tool for initiating and pursuing a public governance improvement program with the participation of key stakeholders,” the mayor stressed.

The Geneva forum also involved series of workshops concentrating on the increasing importance of cities as innovators in managing global issues from climate change and growing inequalities, to migration, health and safety. It was hosted by Mayor Pierre Maudet, the youngest Mayor of the City of Geneva to date, and in partnership with the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies.

Mayors from around the world, recognised as the “next generation” of leaders, shared best practices in global and city governance in panel sessions moderated by Graduate Institute faculty members.

Since the PGS adoption, Rodriguez said, the city government was able to reduce the local government unit’s dependency on national government budget allotment from 53% to 46% while local revenues increased by 142%, from merely P203 million in 2005 to P491 million last year.

From 2009 to 2011, the city government mobilized a total of P2 billion in public infrastructure investments from partners, he added.

The PGS also helped the city streamline its business processes, thus increasing revenues from business permits and the like; address environmental concerns like garbage and flooding; construct classroom buildings for public schools and establish a city college; and increase health services, among others.

With Rodriguez are other mayors from around the world, namely: Mohammad Yunus Nawandish of Kabul, Afghanistan; Jordanka Fandakova of Sofia, Bulgaria; Diane Watts of Surrey (Vancouver) Canada; Bernadette Laclais of Chambéry, France; Kiranmayee Nayak, of Raipur, India; Mitsushige Yamanaka of Matsusaka, Japan; José Sanchez of Colima, and Eduard Rivera Pérez of Puebla in Mexico; Fatima Mansouri of Marrakech, Morocco; Ababacar Sall of Dakar, Senegal; Nuria Parlon of Santa Coloma de Gramanet (Barcelona), Spain; Pierre Maudet of Geneva, Switzerland; Yilmaz Buyukersen of Eskisehir, Turkey; Scott Smith of Mesa, Arizona, and, Mick Cornett, Oklahoma City, USA.

Actually, i have developed fondness for Pampanga lately lang nung nagtatrabaho na ko sa Gapan. Mahilig kasi ako sa mga old churches at historical landmarks kaya nung makita ko yung Sta. Ana Church, na-amaze ako... talagang parang bumalik ako sa nakaraang panahon. Too bad, nakasakay ako nun ng bus papuntang SF galing Gapan kaya hindi ko npasok ang loob. Nakita ko lang from the bus.

Other than Sta. Ana Church, ang nabisita ko talagang church ay yung Betis, Bacolor, SF at Guagua (alam na ni Karisma to... hehehe). I have no idea yet kung maganda rin ba yung iba pang mga church sa Pampanga... If you have pictures, please share... thanks!

Guagua (Hokkien: 偎岸 hua hua or Wawa) is a first-class municipality in the province of Pampanga, Philippines. According to the latest census, it has a population of 104,284 people in 18,438 households.
The town of Guagua belongs to the Second District of Pampanga, along with the towns in the southwestern part of the province. It is about 9.5 kilometers off the capital city of San Fernando and 77 kilometers away from Metro Manila. The town is bounded on the north by the towns of Bacolor and Sta. Rita; on the south by the towns of Sasmuan and Lubao; on the east, Macabebe and Sasmuan; and on the west, Porac and Floridablanca.

History

"Wawa" which means "mouth of a river" or "alua or bukana" in the vernacular, was the original name of the town of Guagua as first known in the year 1590. Evidently, the town is strategically located along a river which played a vital role in trade and transportation in the early eras.
Guagua was already a prosperous settlement predating the Spaniards control of the town in the year 1561. Indeed, there were archeological artifacts excavated in a nearby town which affirmed a pre-historic community in Guagua.
Early inhabitants opted to stay in the town because it was here that they could engage in barter trade with people from different islands, along with other means of livelihood like fishing and farming. The navigable river with which the town was endowed allowed shipping vessels to transport commodities to and from other chief localities, particularly the imperial Manila. The first cargo boat to arrive in Guagua was the "Doña Dominga" on May 7, 1884. Much later it was followed by the steamships "Kaibigan" and "Kababayan," which anchored at the pier in Bo. Sto. Niño, better known as the Yangco Landing.
In 1892, when the Manila-Mabalacat railroad was inaugurated, Guagua was virtually the port of embarkation to and from Manila that served the province. Commerce was further improved when the San Fernando-Guagua line of the railroad was chartered on November 17, 1907.
The Chinese have long been part in Guagua's social and economic mainstream. In the 18th century, they sought refuge in the town to escape discrimination and persecution in Manila. After their near total slaughter, the Chinese lived in relative peace while they freely practiced their craft and mingled hand-in-hand with the local residents. The Chinese residents were merchants, masons, woodcarvers, carpenters, agriculturists, and laborers. Their influence on the cultural and economic life of Guagua cannot be overlooked. The town could not have prospered so readily without the Chinese' economic services.
The town took significant part in the revolutionary struggles against the foreign intruders. A house near the Catholic Church was made a secret cell of the Katipuneros in August 1897. In March 1898, all Spaniards in Guagua were murdered marking the end of Spanish colonialism, and the outset of American rule. Moreover, during the Philippine-American War and the ensuing 2nd World War, Guagua became an important battleground.
At the turn of the 20th century, a new system of education was introduced and made popular and available to the Filipinos. The Guagua Elementary School in Bo. Sta. Filomena, is believed to be the first to be established in the town in the year 1901. Later in that year, an English teacher came to Betis area and opened a primary school which functioned on a regular basis. In 1908, Colegio del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús (now St. Mary's Academy in Bo. San Roque) was established in a two-storey building donated by a charitable matron, in downtown Guagua. Later in 1918, Guagua National Institute (now Guagua National Colleges in Bo. Sta. Filomena) was founded at the convent of the Catholic Church. Further, in 1941, the then parish priest, felt the need for another high school in town, so he opened Saint Michael's College.
At the overthrow of the Marcos dictatorship in 1986, the local government carried out the "Integrated Approach Towards Sustainable Development" to rectify its destitute state. The program gained several outstanding citations for its momentous achievement. From a mere "third class" standing in 1986, Guagua has grown to become a "first class" municipality. The sound fiscal status and effective governance brought forward translated to better and effective public service, and made Guagua a consistent recipient of several "Most Outstanding LGU" awards. All this, despite immense threat brought about by the eruption of Mount Pinatubo.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/07/Ph_locator_pampanga_bacolor.png/250px-Ph_locator_pampanga_bacolor.png

History

Don Guillermo Manabat, a rich landlord, is believed to be the founder of Bacolor.[1]

A lava sunken San Guillermo parish church of Bacolor.
Historical records show that Bacolor has been in existence as proposed settlement as early as 1571. When the Spaniards under the leadership of Ferdinand Blumentrit arrived they found "Baculud", its original name meaning level ground because Bacolor was formerly part of the Philippine coastline until eruptions from ancestral Mt. Pinatubo raised it above the ocean floor, on October 1, 1995, the lahar flows from the mountain raised it to its current level of an approximate 37 meters above sea level. Subsidence caused the constant reclaiming of parts of Pampanga by the Sea.
The first settlers of Bacolor were believed to be Malays that came from Atjeth Sumatra led by Panday Pira. It is believed to have been founded by Monmon, first cousin and sister-in-law of Malangsic, a son of Prince Balagtas. However, historians recorded the official foundation of Bacolor to have occurred in 1574 through a landlord named Guillermo Manabat, whose palatial house and resting place is now the site of the San Guillermo Church, hence the church's name.
The name Baculud was changed to Bacolor when the Spaniards came to the place. It was recorded to have been the first capital of Pampanga for two centuries (1698 to 1904) before San Fernando was declared the capital town of the province in July 1904. In 1757, the provincial building, Casa Real, was constructed at the place where the Bacolor Elementary School is now located.
During the British Occupation of the Philippines, when Manila fell to the British, it became capital of the exiled government of Governor General Simón de Anda y Salazar from October 6, 1762 to May 30, 1764. The provincial offices were temporarily moved to Factoria (now San Isidro, Nueva Ecija). It remained the former capital town of Pampanga until the provincial seat of government was transferred to neighboring City of San Fernando in 1904. Through a decree of the King of Spain on November 9, 1765, Bacolor became "Villa de Bacolor", one of the only three villas in the Philippines and was granted a Spacial Coat of Arms. Simon de Anda organized an army of natives with which he finally recaptured Manila from the British invaders. (This is wrong. The British left due to the terms of the Treaty of Paris (1763) and they left by embarking from Manila and Cavite in the first week of April 1764, and sailing out of Manila Bay for Batavia, India, and England.)
The coming of the American colonizers broke up the military form of government and instead political and economic reforms were introduced. A civil form of government was organized and was inaugurated on February 13, 1901 by Com. William H. Taft which took place in the old "Escuala de Artes y Officios de Bacolor" (formerly named Pampanga School of Arts and Trade) now known as the Don Honorio Technological State University the first state university in Pampanga.
The first provincial Civil Governor was Don Ceferino Joven and the first Municipal President of Bacolor was Don Estanislao Santos. Pampanga was acknowledged as the first province to have organized civil government in the Philippines by General Grant, the then President of the United State of America.
In 1956, the sitio of Mesalipit was converted into a barrio.[2]
On the morning of October 1, 1995, over 20 feet (6.1 m) of lahar from the slopes of Mount Pinatubo and surrounding mountains buried the entire town of Cabalantian among many others, killing hundreds of people. 18 out of the 21 barangays of Bacolor were buried.
[edit]Tourism

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/00/Bacolor_Church.JPG/220px-Bacolor_Church.JPG

A landmark in the town is the San Guillermo Parish Church known as the 'sunken church' and was one of the structures that was half-buried by the lahar flow. The church has since been renovated and is currently operational and may be accessed through what were once the second floor windows, now converted into doorways. The sunken church and town of Bacolor were used to shoot the 2009 television series May Bukas Pa. The Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes in Cabetican is also famous for its annual pilgrimage and barrio fiestas.
Bacolor also contains memorials to the Death March Kilometer Posts in Mac Arthur Highway and the oldest trade school in Far East, the Don Honorio Ventura Technological State University.
Bacolor's festivities are the Feast of San Guillermo and Nuestra Senora del Santissimo Rosario (La Naval) which are celebrated every 10th day of February and 3rd sunday of November, respectively.

history

Prior to the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors in the Philippines in the 16th century, Lubao was one of the three oldest settled communities in Pampanga with advanced culture and civilization. It was then a large territory, which extended to the present boundaries of the provinces of Bataan, Tarlac and Bulacan. Believed to have been founded by Malays, it was once governed by a native chief named Datu Macabulos assisted by a council of elders. Even the famous Rajah Soliman and Rajah Lakan Dula, descendants of the ancient royalty of Brunei were presumed to have loyal Lubenian warriors who fought with them in many wars to repel foreign invaders. As the Lubenians are known for their bravery and valor in battles, the Spaniards had to skirt Lubao when they were colonizing the Pampanga hinterland. In 1572, the power of the Christian cross converted many Lubenians to the Roman Catholic faith and their first church, one of the oldest churches in the Philippines was constructed in barrio Santa Catalina and transferred to its present site thirty years later.

http://www.andropampanga.com/history/photos/lubao_townhall.jpg

Lubao which was once also called Baras derived its present name from a Kapampangan word meaning "outside of the narrow sea between two isles", is typically rural and it is endowed with fertile land and water resources very rich in marine life. Farming and fishing are the main sources of livelihood of its industrious people. Its current geographical area is situated in the southwestern part of Pampanga bounded in the north by the municipality of Floridablanca, in the east by the municipality of Guagua, in the south by the town of Sasmuan and in the west by the Province of Bataan.

Lubao catapulted to international prominence when one of its favorite sons, President Diosdado P. Macapagal was elected to the presidency of the Republic of the Philippines on November 14, 1961.

His dedication to public service is carried on by his three offsprings namely, former Pampanga Vice Governor Cielo Macapagal-Salgado, former president of the Philippines Gloria Macapagal Arroyo who also served as Senator as well as Vice President and former Undersecretary of Finance Diosdado Macapagal, Jr.

President Diosdado P. Macapagal’s two grandsons, former Pampanga Vice Governor Juan Miguel Macapagal Arroyo and Diosdado Macapagal Arroyo, sons of former president Gloria Macapagal Arroyo and Mike Arroyo are also members of the House of Representatives of the Philippines.

Lubao, which is blessed to have produced two elected presidents of the Republic of the Philippines, is ably led by the energetic and well-respected Mayor Mylyn Pineda-Cayabyab who ran unopposed in the May 2010 national election.

The following served also as municipal executives (mayor, alcalde, presidenti municipal, etc.):

Lubao is a first class municipality in the province of Pampanga, Philippines. According to the latest census, it has a population of 143,058 people in 23,446 households. It is bounded by the municipalities of Guagua on the north, Sasmuan on the east, Floridablanca on the west and Orani, Bataan on the south
Located at the southwestern part of Pampanga, it is noted for rice, sugar cane, fish, and sampaguita.
Notable people from Lubao include former President Diosdado Macapagal and former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and former Governor Jose "Joe" Bulaon Lingad. Other famous "Lubenians" include educator Alejandro Quiboloy, movie stars, Rogelio and Jaime dela Rosa, the movie director, Gregorio Fernandez, actor Rudy Fernandez, Teacher Lhie Miguel, Huk commander, Silvestre Liwanag alias "Linda Bie", gambling tycoon Bong Pineda, and PBA Player Arwind Santos.

Has somebody affirmed (other than Boking) that GGLC is, indeed, under the jurisdiction of Mabt? I just don't have enough faith on whatever Boking claims. I suppose Angeles shouldn't be discredited just because one incompetent mayor asserts so.

It's Angeles Info Office itself which said GGLC belongs to Mabalacat area ;) kasi kung ite-trace mo yung kahilerang establishments ng GGLC sa McArthur Hiwat, Hotel Sogo na. Dau part na yun. So there. Well, Angeles can't have it all :lol: Pero definitely maraming Angeleno ang makikinabang din sa GGLC (through jobs) kasi malapit lang.

eto from GGLC FAQ:

4. How many jobs will be created from the project?

Answer: We expect that there will be a minimum of 35,000 new jobs created; however this number may increase to as many as 70,000 depending on the mix of locators attracted to Clark and the final mix of facilities built over the seven year planned build-out period.

Pero strange enough, sa GGLC website, hindi lang Mabalacat ang ina-address. Kasama palagi ang Angeles, so ako mismo nagtataka: if GGLC is under Mabalacat, why need to talk to Angeles government. take for example these statements from GGLC website:

14. How will GGLC fit in with the local business community?

Answer: KGL Investment Company and Peregrine recognize their corporate responsibilities to be part of the local business community and fulfill their civic responsibilities. In this regard, the Team has met with both Mayors of Mabalacat and Angeles and has selected two Hospitals to renovate in each community...

7. What was the driving factors that lead to Clark and Northern Luzon?

Answer: First and foremost was the proactive leadership of the staff and executive management team of Clark International Airport Corporation (CIAC) led by Mr. Victor Luciano. CIAC, along with their counterparts at the Clark Development Corporation (CDC), the local Mayors of Mabalacat and Angeles, and their Congressional representative were most enthusiastic in demonstrating their commitment to attract international investors to the region.

$ 3-B Logistics hub in Clark operational in 5 years

CLARK FREEPORT ZONE, Pampanga, Philippines – The $3-billion business park Global Gateway Logistics City (GGLC), in the special economic zone, now formally known as the Sabah Al-Ahmad Global Gateway Logistics City, may be fully operational in as early as five to seven years.

Dennis L. Wright, president and CEO of Peregrine International said horizontal developments such as major road networks, storm culverts, water lines, electrical lines, and utility corridors have been laid out. The construction of vertical structures will begin next month.

“There is already $30 million worth of utilities underground. That is already $30 million physically in the ground that will not come out of the Philippines,” he said.

Construction in the business park began in late 2010. The project had its ground breaking in 2008 but formal construction did not formally start until 2010 because all derelict structures, trees and informal setters had to be removed from the site.

Wright said that next month, a retail gas station, a power station, and a 200-bed branch of The Medical City hospital would be constructed.

The conservative estimate by which the business complex will be finished is in 10 years, but Wright said the complex could easily be completed in as early as five years.

“My personal opinion is that it will be built in about five years. The conservative estimate is 10 years. I think it will be much shorter. It will be five to seven years, not seven to 10 years,” he said.

A dedication ceremony was held here yesterday for the renaming of the business park after Sheik Sabah Al-Ahmad Al Jaber Al-Sabah, emir of Kuwait. An official marking on the business park was unveiled yesterday.

The business park, which occupies 177 hectares in the Clark Freeport Zone, is being developed by Peregrine International, a privately-owned American company with a portfolio in project development, program management, engineering, construction, operation, maintenance, and logistics.

Peregrine selected Palafox Associates, a local architecture and engineering firm to undertake the detailed design and assist in the planning of the project.

Its principal investor is KGL Investment Company (KGLI), a business unit of Kuwait-based Kuwait and Gulf Link (KGL) Group, a 50-year-old international company with a portfolio in transportation, logistics, stevedoring, passenger transport, warehousing, supply chain management, and port operations.

Aside from the Philippines, KGL group currently has operations in Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Tunisia, Oman, Namibia, Morocco, Pakistan, Germany, Ireland, Cayman, Mauritius, Egypt.

The park is divided into four zones. The logistics park caters to warehouse housing, distribution, and light manufacturing operations, the business park for office requirements, and the aero park for research, development and modelling and simulation, IT projects and institutions of higher learning such as universities. The town center will have retail and shopping facilities.

The business park will receive total investments of $3 billion from Kuwait.

Mark Williams, investment director of KGL Investment, said the investments would come from a combination of sovereign and private funds.

Upon completion, the business park will have 4.2 million square meters of residential and commercial space. The businesses are is expected to create over 250, 000 jobs.

The park is expected to stand out in among other business parks in the area by focusing on businesses catering to aviation and logistics.

“We are talking to several aviation companies. We are going after all aviation manufacturing and logistics companies,” said Wright.

[edit]Amateur career

[edit]High School Career
Santos played for Lubao Institute during his high school career. In 2000, he became well known during zonal competitions because of his hardwork on the basketball court.
[edit]UAAP career
Santos arrived at the UAAP scene in 2002 with the FEU Tamaraws where he won Rookie of the Year honors. With the Tamaraws struggling to enter the Final Four, Santos was still able to put a decent performance. One of the highlights of his freshman year was a game-tying three against eventual champion Ateneo Blue Eagles.
In 2003, Santos led the Tamaraws to the UAAP title for the first time in six seasons, sweeping the Blue Eagles in the process. Santos was a candidate to win the Most Valuable Player Award, but was beaten by University of the East star James Yap. However, by leading the Tamaraws to the title, he was named Finals MVP. He was also named Defensive Player of the Year and was part of the Mythical Five together with season MVP Yap, Rich Alvarez, Paul Artadi, and Reynaldo Mendoza.[1]
Santos would win the Most Valuable Player plum the next season (2004) but the Tamaraws lost to the De La Salle Green Archers in three crucial games. However, with the controversy that surrounded the Archers, the title was then awarded to the Morayta-based team. He also made it to the UAAP Mythical Five alongside Mark Cardona, LA Tenorio, Paolo Bugia and Dennis Miranda.
In his last year (2005) in the UAAP, he again led the team to the title by sweeping the anticipated championship rematch against the Green Archers thereby giving the FEU Tamaraws a three-peat from 2003-2005. Santos was adjudged Season MVP and Finals MVP. He was also named to the Mythical Five with Isip, Tenorio, Edwin Asoro and Joseph Yeo.
He is one of the only two players in the FEU Tamaraws that had his jersey retired. The other was Johnny Abarrientos.
[edit]Philippine Basketball League
In 2003, Santos made his PBL debut for Viva Mineral Water, a team composed of fellow FEU teammates. After a slow start, he led the Water Force all the way to the PBL Unity Cup Finals, where they lost in five games to Hapee Toothpaste.
In 2004, Santos led Viva to its first PBL crown defeating Welcoat Paints in the 2004 Unity Cup. He was adjudged PBL MVP during the tournament and was part of the 2004 Mythical Five alongside former PBA players Jojo Tangkay and Chester Tolomia and teammates Dennis Miranda and Mark Isip.[2] In 2006, he led Magnolia Ice Cream to the PBL Heroes Cup title, coming back from 0-2 deficit to defeat Welcoat Paints. In the PBL Unity Cup, Magnolia made an early exit. However, Santos still made the Mythical Second Team in his final PBL conference.[3]
[edit]PBA career

Santos during his tenure with the Air21 Express.
In the 2006 PBA Draft, Santos was selected second overall by the Air21 Express. He later signed a deal to play his first three seasons with the team, playing alongside Ranidel de Ocampo, Yancy de Ocampo, and KG Canaleta. He chose to wear the number 29 since his usual number 19 was already worn by Wynne Arboleda.
He ranked first among rookies in scoring during the Philippine Cup and almost led the Express to a quarterfinals appearance only to lose against the Sta. Lucia Realtors in a knockout match. He wound up with averages of 14.2 points per game (ppg), 8.3 rebounds per game (rpg), 0.9 assists per game (apg), 0.8 steals per game (spg), and 1.2 blocks per game (bpg). Because of his sterling play, he made it to the Mythical Second Team as well as the All-Defensive Team.
Santos was one of the leading contenders for the Rookie of the Year (ROY) honors at the season's end with the likes of Sta. Lucia's Kelly Williams and Welcoat's Jay-R Reyes as among the possible winners. Williams eventually won the ROY award. But Santos was part of the All-Rookie Team together with Williams, Jay-R Reyes, Jireh Ibañez and LA Tenorio.
The next season, 2007-2008 season, Santos and Williams faced each other again for the Philippine Cup Best Player of the Conference (BPC) award by finishing No. 1 and 2 in the statistical points (SPs). However, despite trailing in the SPs department, Williams would win the award with Santos finishing No. 2 just like in the previous year's rookie race. Santos eventually posted numbers of 16.3 ppg (8th-best), 9.6 rpg (4th best), 1.7 apg, 1.2 spg (8th-best) and 1.5 bpg (2nd-best) on the way to earning a berth in both the Mythical First Team and All-Defensive Team. He also won the Defensive Player of the Year award. He led the Express team to a runner-up finish against Barangay Ginebra together with import Steve Thomas in the Fiesta Cup. At season's end, Santos and Williams battled it out again, this time for the MVP award, which went again to Williams (2762 points) as against Santos' 1775 points. This would be the third time that Williams edged out Santos in the race for a major award (2006-07 ROY and 2007-08 Philippine Cup BPC).[4].
In the 2008-2009 season, Santos averaged 26.7 ppg, 7.8 rpg, 1.2 apg, 1.2 spg and 1.1 bpg. By virtue of his consistent play, Santos made it to the Mythical First Team for the second year in a row and the All-Defensive Team for the third straight year.[5]. This year would prove to be his last year with the Express team.
During the off season Arwind Santos finally got his wish to play for the San Miguel Beermen, the winningest team in the history of the Philippine Basketball Association. None among the officials confirmed the trade although a highly-placed source revealed that Santos was shipped to the Beermen in exchange for 6'4" power forward Marc Pingris, 6'6" sophomore center Ken Bono and San Miguel's 2010 first round pick.[6][7]
In the 2009-2010 season, his first year with the San Miguel franchise, he shared stellar minutes with the likes of Jay Washington, Dondon Hontiveros, Danny Seigle and Alex Cabagnot. Because of this his averages dipped a bit as he posted averages of 14.6 ppg, 7.9 rpg, 7.2 apg, 1.1 spg and 1.2 bpg. He again made it to the Mythical First Team (3rd-straight) and All-Defensive Team (4th time in 4 years).
In the first round of the 2010-11 Philippine Cup, San Miguel compiled an 11-3 record while Santos averaged 16.6 points per game. In the 2011 PBA Governors Cup, he was awarded with the Best Player of the Conference. [8] He also led his team to an improbable championship in the Governor's Cup conference over the highly favored Talk 'N Text team who were aiming to complete a rare grand slam. In so doing, he was named the Phoenix Fuels-PBA Press Corps Finals MVP.[9] At season's end, Santos posted averages of 25.3 ppg, 10.7 rpg, 7.2 apg, 1.0 spg and 1.3 bpg on the way to earning berths in the Mythical First Team and All-Defensive Team for the 4th and 5th year in a row, respectively.
[edit]International career

He also suited up for the Philippine National Team a couple of times under coach Chot Reyes in 2006 and coach Yeng Guiao in 2008.
In August 2010, Santos, along with other PBA players, was considered as a possible reinforcement for Smart Gilas, as the developmental Philippine national basketball team was looking to make the squad more competitive.[10]
Santos also suited up for the PBA All-Stars in the NBA-Asia Challenge 2009 dubbed as "NBA Generations vs. PBA All-Stars" held last September 11, 2009 at the Araneta Coliseum[11]. The NBA Generations team featured NBA legends Dominique Wilkins, Tim Hardaway, Vlade Divac and Robert Horry and coached by NBA six-time MVP and Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul Jabbar. Making up the PBA All-Stars line-up were PBA legends Alvin Patrimonio, Allan Caidic, Ronnie Magsanoc, Benjie Paras and Kenneth Duremdes and active players Santos, Wynne Arboleda, Japeth Aguilar, Dondon Hontiveros, Jay-R Reyes, Marc Pingris, Enrico Villanueva, Sonny Thoss, Willie Miller and Joseph Yeo.[12] The NBA Generations defeated the PBA All-Stars 109-86 behind the efforts of Wilkins (28 points, 5 rebounds, 2 steals) and Horry (10 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists). The PBA All-Stars were led by Caidic, Miller and Hontiveros with 15, 14 and 10 points, respectively while Santos scored 5 points.
Santos was again selected to play in the NBA-Asia Challenge 2010 where the two teams, Red and White, were composed of a mixture of NBA and PBA legends as well as NBA D-Leaguers and active PBA players. Making up the Red team were NBA legends Glen Rice and Gary Payton, D-leaguers Darnell Lazare and Chris McCray reinforced by PBA legends Caidic, Vergel Meneses, Atoy Co and active players like Santos, Rico Maierhofer and LA Tenorio while the White team was composed of NBA legends Chris Webber and Mitch Richmond with help from D-leaguers Richie Frahm, who was also a former PBA import, and Mark Tyndale and PBA legends Paras, Magsanoc, Patrimonio and active players Hontiveros and Ronald Tubid. Santos fired 16 points along with Meneses as they supported Caidic who scored 54 points including 14 3-point shots as the Red team walloped the White team 177-167.[13].
[edit]Personal Life

Santos married Karyn Maye Umayam and started living together in Sampaloc, Manila. On Dec. 9, 2005, Umayam gave birth to their first child but barely a month after, Santos left his wife and child. When Umayan found out that Santos was living with Ivette Iza Gavieres, daughter of his former FEU coach Danny Gavieres, who was pregnant, she decided to go back to her parents' house in Batangas City.[14]

Lawmaker wants Disneyland In Clark
By MARK ANTHONY N. MANUEL
April 18, 2012, 2:33pm

CLARK FREEPORT, Pampanga – A Disneyland theme park in the Philippines?

First District Rep. Carmelo “Tarzan” Lazatin has written Robert Iger, chairman and CEO of the The Walt Disney Company based in Burbank, California, to ask him to consider Clark for their next Walt Disney park.

Lazatin said Clark’s 4,400 hectare main zone and 27,600-hectare subzone will be the best place for a new Disneyland.

“Aside from the huge space it provides, the Clark Freeport Zone can be an attractive destination for Disneyland theme park because of the tax-free privileges given to locators,” said Lazatin in his letter dated April 11.

Lazatin also boasted Clark International Airport, branding it a world-class airport which is expected to serve at least P1.6 million passengers this year.

“The airport will be making it easier for tourists to enjoy the amenities and entertainment Disneyland is famous for without the hassles of long travels,” he added.

Lazatin also told Iger that hotel accommodations will not be a problem as Clark has the best hotels in its roster where visitors can enjoy the hospitality Filipinos are known for.

The lawmaker said the Philippines is a favorite tourist destination in Southeast Asia, with an average arrival of four million foreign visitors a year and for 2012, the government is eyeing to hit the 5-million mark.

Disneyland theme parks are the highest-earning theme parks in the world.

In 2009, the company's theme parks hosted approximately 119.1 million guests, making Disney Parks the world's most visited theme park company, ahead of the second most visited, British rival Merlin Entertainments.

In Asia, Disneylands are located in Hong Kong, Tokyo (Japan), and Shanghai (China).

-------------

pero I doubt matutuloy ito

sabi nga dito:

What's the likelihood of this? Not much, considering Disney is now in the middle of building Shanghai Disneyland, which opens up China. And with Hong Kong Disneyland and Tokyo Disneyland, you really have to question whether there is enough demand and money to open a park in the Philippines.

There has also been recent speculation of a Disneyland in Dubai. On a recent trip to Dubai to promote the 20th anniversary of Disneyland Paris, Julian Munoz, the director of marketing and sales at Disneyland Paris, talked with officials in the United Arab Emirates, but no plans evolved.

hindi naman masasagot ng random person na pagtatanungan sa 1st district. dapat may data na galing talaga sa NSO, o kaya DSWD. Until then, saka nating masasabi na sa 1st district lang talaga nangyayari.

sa san fernando marami rin iyan, especially sa northern barangays ng town. Quebiawan, ganyan. Sa Macabebe meron din. Pati sa Concepcion, Bamban, at Capas, dami rin. Chapter chapter.

SAKALING totoo, an obvious reason is the huge population of Angeles and Mabalacat, tapos pareho pang "city". tapos, breeding ground din ang mga schools para sa frat recruitment. daming malalaking schools sa angeles. sigurado may bata mula mabalacat at magalang (at porac) na sa angeles nag-aaral. so pag-uwi nila sa kanila, re-recruit sila ng taga-sa kanila

Mayaman talaga ang Mabalacat = No. 1 Municipality sa Central Luzon at ang San Fernando at Angeles = No.2 at No. 3 Cities

eto mas comprehensive report.
http://www.coa.gov.ph/Reports/AFR/2010AFR_Local_Vol3.pdf
yes, as of 2010, San Fernando has bigger income than Angeles

2010 Income (including subsidies and extra items):

Angeles City: 936,888
San Fernando: 984, 172

Olongapo: 1,223,647

However, Angeles seemed to have spent more in 2010. It could be because of the big debts incurred by the Nepomuceno administration.

Expenses of Angeles 2010: 737,545
Expenses of San Fernando 2010: 721,126

^^ It is also worth noting that in terms of size, Angeles and San Fernando seem to have the same size (66.16 and 67.74 sq km, respectively) as opposed to Olongapo, which at 185 sq km is almost three times as big as either of the Pampanga cities. IDK if that makes any difference, but the sheer size alone of Olongapo guarantees it extra money from real estate taxes, don't you think?

sana magkaroon din ng monument in honor of the city's old name: Culiat.

Mariano Henson wrote that the origin of Angeles’ former name is the plant Culiát, Gnetum indicum Lour. Merr. a woody vine that abound in the place then. Today, this vine is said to be an endangered specie. The few surviving kuliat can be found in Palawan and in the botanical garden of U.P. Los Baños in Laguna. -from http://tarebalakdiscovery.blogspot.com/2008/01/ing-makulyat-nang-ibatan-ning-angeles.html

Di sya aabot ng 4km sa route na yan. 3.5 pwede. Kung dadaan ka sa naman along JASA, dun aabot ng 4 km. Pero kung titignan mo di naman sakop ng Metro Manila ang Pampanga pero may tatlong SM Mall tayo na magkakalapit lang, di pa kasama ang savemore ng Apalit. SM Pampanga to SM Clark mga 20KM lang. May balita na ba kung kailan ang construction ng Tutuban ni Boking? :)

nadaanan namin yan! Ganda din ng JASA sa part na yan.. :D

tama ka mas maganda pa nga part ng lubao na spalto my sunlight energy pa banda sa house ni nanay ''baby'' pineda:lol::lol::lol:

Careless Whisper? :lol: BTW ganda talaga ng San Fernando! ::banana2: especially sa may JASA.. :D

hintain mo pag dating ng ayala land.. sa san fernando.. banda sa capitolyo kasi gagawa sila ng CBD sa pasudeco..seryoso na sila:banana::banana:

bat pa sila nagpapahirap, may sarap naman, pumasok lang naman sila sa gulo at lugar ng tapang tapangan bakit di nalang nila gawing ang maging matapang at mging "WILD"

tama ka brad. alam ko kasi "(apo) at (gangster)" lang my sarap.. diba?!! alam ko si binay ay apo.. :cheers::cheers::)

napagiiwanan ata ang Lubao ng Guagua?

tama ka dapat city na ang guagua at lubao .. kailangan na lang na mag tayo silla ng
(SM GUAGUA at SM LUBAO).. para sure maging city.. diba mga city my SM^^^^:banana::banana:

@whippersnapper
kasama pa talaga ung tatlong girls na may pasa sa likod ng hita hehe
pati subic kasama pa

kasama yun.. para ma alarma mga viewer..:nuts::nuts:
oo galing kami sa subic ng swimming kami kaya kinunan ko narin banda dun

Jake salamat sa video na ni-share mo, daming mga changes sa San Fernando. Halos di ko na alam kung saan ang mga lugar na kinunan mo. Suggestion lang kung pwede, sana paki lagyan mo ng caption about sa mga places na kinukunan mo ng picture tyvm.

un first part po ,sa lubao po un.. tapos my bundok sa SCTEX po, tapos un my flyover san fernando. at un blerd sm san fernando po un.. tapos un my dagat sa subic bay po..:):):)^^^^ tnx po sa pag watch.. cge next tym lagyan ko nag caption

hindi naman masasagot ng random person na pagtatanungan sa 1st district. dapat may data na galing talaga sa NSO, o kaya DSWD. Until then, saka nating masasabi na sa 1st district lang talaga nangyayari.

sa san fernando marami rin iyan, especially sa northern barangays ng town. Quebiawan, ganyan. Sa Macabebe meron din. Pati sa Concepcion, Bamban, at Capas, dami rin. Chapter chapter.

SAKALING totoo, an obvious reason is the huge population of Angeles and Mabalacat, tapos pareho pang "city". tapos, breeding ground din ang mga schools para sa frat recruitment. daming malalaking schools sa angeles. sigurado may bata mula mabalacat at magalang (at porac) na sa angeles nag-aaral. so pag-uwi nila sa kanila, re-recruit sila ng taga-sa kanila

oo meron din..konti lang saka hindi naman ngrerecruit ng mga bata..:ohno::ohno: sana mbigyan mo ng pansin:):):)

kahit ganito lang ang ipatayong monumento sa Angeles o. Suggested place of erection: 1- sa rotonda sa tapat ng Sacred Heart Hospital; 2 - sa rotonda sa may Marquee; 3 - sa rotonda sa may bayanihan park. pinakabet ko ay 1 at 2, kasi meron ng Giant Salakot sa may Balibago.

Mexico is a 1st class municipality in the province of Pampanga, Philippines. According to the 2000 census, it has a population of 109,481 people in 20,382 households.
The town was named after Mexico, a country in North America after being confused with its native name "Masiku" which is often taken as "Elbowed" but according to most Kapampangan historians, it was named "Masiku" because "Siku" is an Old Kapampangan term for Chico or Sapodilla which grew richly in the town. It is a home of residential, commercial and recreational developments.

history

In the 16th century, the place we now call Mexico sat as a crossing point between the Áitâ Mag-Anchî and Áinu (Abûrlin) nations at the upper reaches of the Ábakan River and the international port cities of Bétis and Lúbao to the south. Upland products such as deerskins and beeswax became important commodities to the 16th century Japanese who made candles out of beeswax and samurai armours out of deerskins. Plying their goods down the Ábakan River, these upland traders would have had no choice but to slow down and dock at the place “where the river bends” (nung nú ya másíku ing ílug) or “where the river has an elbow” (nung nú ya makisíku ing ílug) before continuing their trip downstream. From there, the river is matúlid (straight) all the way to its mouth at Uáuâ. Enterprising merchants from L?sòng Guo (Luzón: circa 13th AD – 1572 AD) and perhaps even from Japan and China formed a trading base at this natural checkpoint known as Makisíku or Másíku. Japanese sources credited the introduction of candles into the Japanese homes to renowned Hakata merchants Shimai Shoushitsu and Kamiya Soutan both of whom were known to have had trading bases in L?sòng Guo. After the Fall of L?sòng Guo in 1571, Makisíku or Másíku became an important center for the Spanish invaders. They renamed it Nueva México and made it the capital of the newly formed Province of Pampanga. Gaspar de San Agustin wrote that being the capital, Mexico was one of the most “beautiful and charming” centers in the province. A lavish church made of stone and tiles, the Parish of Santa Monica, was built in 1581 with Masangsang and Matúlid serving as its visitas.
In 1585, Dr. Luciano P.R. Santiago wrote that a Kapampángan nobleman by the name of Don Miguel Mañago was awarded a royal encomienda of about one hundred cabalitas of land in Nueva México for his service to the Spanish King. Another Maniago from México who distinguished himself in the service the Spanish King was Master-of-Camp Don Francisco Maniago. But he distinguished himself more in the service of a much nobler cause as leader of the Kapampángan Independence Revolt of 1660. In 1700, another Maniago form Mexico placed himself in history as the first graduate of the University of Santo Tomas with a native surname. He was Bachiller Don Juán Mañago, who was ordained priest by Archbishop Camacho in 1705.
The Spanish colonial authorities stripped México of its political importance after the Kapampangan Independence Revolt of 1660 by moving the provincial capital further downstream to Bacolor. But it retained its strategic economic importance especially among the Lúsung Chinese and their mestizo descendants. México was still a regular drop off point of forest products from the upper reaches of the Ábakan River. It was also a favored destination by merchants from as far north as Pangasinan. By the 18th century, the Lúsung Chinese and their mestizo descendants living in México, Guagua and Malabon had formed and maintained business and social alliances with each other. Cascos and sampans maintained the flow of goods along the Malabon-Guagua-México chain. Like the Chinese section of Manila, the commercial center of México became known as the Parian. By the 19th century, the Chinese mestizo families not only dominated México’s economic scene, they also began to replace the native principalia in the local political arena. Novel ideas and radical movements also flowed along Malabon-Guagua-México chain. In 1892, the gobernadorcillo of México, Don Ruperto Laxamana was mentioned as one of the founders of Masonic triangles in Pampanga. In 1897, the first cells of the Katipunan in Pampanga was formed in Guagua and then in México. In 1898, General Maximino Hizon, a product of the Malabon-Guagua-México Chinese mestizo family alliance, rallied Kapampángans to fight the Spaniards under Emilio Aguinaldo’s revolutionary banner and ordered the execution of the Parish priests of México and San Fernando. When the Americans replaced the Spaniards as the new invaders, General Maximino Hizon soon rose up to become supreme commander of all the Philippine Forces in Pampanga. He was captured by the Americans in 1901 and exiled to Guam after refusing to pledge his allegiance to the United States. He died in exile on September 1, 1901.
Revolutionary sentiments remained alive in México even after the victory of the Americans. The Manila Times reported that in August 4, 1901, two principales from the town of México were buried alive for collaborating with the Americans. In 1903, the Universal Democratic Filipino Republic, a paramilitary independence movement composed of Kapampángan elite, was organized in México. In the 1930s, México’s peasant class overwhelmed the memberships of the Aguman ding Maldang Talapagobra and the Socialist Party of the Philippines. México became the scene of violent peasant unrest before World War II. During the war, México’s peasants actively fought the Japanese under the HUKBALAHAP. After the war, many joined the Peoples Liberation Army (HMB) to fight the new American-sponsored Philippine Republic. In the late 1960s, the new Communist Party of the Philippines and the New People’s Army was formed mostly by Kapampángan revolutionaries. Its leader, Jose Maria Sison, is a Kapampángan on his motherside from México. The most feared but charismatic and dynamic commander of the New Peoples Army was Rodolfo Salas of México, better known as Kumader Bílog. To this day, México continues to be the battleground for social justice and reform.

[edit]Culture

Good Friday Rites: The faithful remember the passion and death of Jesus by the pondering of the Seven Last Words of Christ and the “Tanggal” (a re-enactment of how Jesus’ body was taken down from the cross). After the "Prusisyung Pasu at Pamangutcut" (Procession of the Scenes and Burial of Christ), the traditional “Burul” (literally means: wake) where the Santo Entierro seems to be in a wake follows. In here people would visit and pray before the image. After which, in the midnight of Good Friday, there is a procession of the Virgen de Soleded (Our Lady of Solitude). The said procession is a ‘silent procession’ meditating and joining with the Virgin’s sorrow and grief. Usually, single men and women join the procession believing that they will be blessed in their opted state of ‘single blessedness' in life.
Easter Sunday Celebration: The faithful joins the whole of Christendom in the celebration of Easter. During the day, the Filipino tradition of "Salubong/Encuentro" is being done. After which is the "Pacbung Judas" or the burning of Judas' effigy follows on.
May 4: Mexico's town fiesta is celebrated in honor of its patron saint: Saint Monica (Mother of Saint Augustine).
December 15-24: The Mexicanos welcome the Christmas Day by the annual "Lubenas Pascu". It is during this celebration that they parade colorful lanterns and decorated carozzas. According to Tantingco: Lubenas came from the word novena, which means nine days, referring to the nine-day simbang gabi. But while the rest of the country was content with attending dawn masses for nine consecutive days, Kapampangans went a step farther by holding a procession on the eve of every simbang gabi, i.e., they had a procession after dinner, which means they slept late, and then woke up before dawn for the simbang gabi (or simbang bengi in Kapampangan).
-All of these activities are being done through the initiatives of the Sta. Monica Parish and the Aguman Saniculas (the Mexico Arts, Traditions, Cultural Heritage and Empowerment of Youth Advocate)
According to Alejandro S. Camiling, CPA with Teresita Z. Camiling, BSE, MA in their article "The Town of Mexico, Pampanga" the following families trace their history to the Town of Mexico.

A verse from the kurírû above narrates how the sun god Ápûng Sínukûan, who in his incarnation as Carguen-cargon, formed the 30,000 hectare Pinák when he transferred Bunduk Aláya from Candába to the nearby town of Aráyat. The inhabitants believed that Candába is as ancient as the gods portrayed in the kurírû.
Candába may have been the first and oldest settlement in the entire Kapampángan homeland. Ancient terrestrial navigation recognizes only two directions ~ paraláya or “going to Bunduk Aláya” and paráuâ (paróba) or “going to dáuâ or Kandáuâ” ~ suggesting that in the beginning, there was only Bunduk Aláya and Candába. Moreover, the oldest archaeological artifact ever found in the region was a 5000 year old stone tool used for building boats. Thousands of pottery shards dated before the existence of trade with China are scattered all over.
Candába may have originally been called Kandáua, however more findings have suggested that the original name was Kandawe where dáua was in ancient times a large earthen vessel used to catch rain water. The Spaniards originally wrote the name of the town as Candáva where the letter “v” was supposed to be read as “w” instead of “b”. Candába becomes exactly like a dáua during the rainy season. Some historians however, seeing themselves better off for being more westernized than the proudly indigenous Candabéño had suggested that Candába was derived from dáuâ, the Kapampángan word for millet ~ a grain they considered inferior to rice ~ and therefore suggesting that the people of Candába were as backward as they were ancient. But Candába has always proven itself very progressive economically, politically and culturally since ancient times.
According to folklore, the people of the port settlement of Mandásig once traced their ancestry to Malangdî, the wife of Malangsî, who was the son Balagtas, who was in turn said to be the son of Bulkiah, the ruler of Brunei who attacked Lŭsòng Guo before the turn of the 16th century. After the conquest of Lŭsòng Guo in 1571, the Spanish colonial administration awarded the vast territories of Candába as an encomienda or estate-grant to Royal Lieutenant Amador de Arriarán. One settlement so noted for its antiquity however was excluded from the encomienda. It was administered directly by the colonial government in Manila exclusively for the King of Spain and was given the name La Castillilla.
The evangelization of Candába was pioneered by the Jesuits who built a church and convent in honor of Saint Andrew the Apostle in 1575. Three years later, the Jesuits were replaced by the Agustinian Order.
In 1585, Candába was the scene of the first organized revolt against Spanish rule since the conquest of Lŭsòng Guo in 1571. The uprising was organized by the displaced nobility of Lŭsòng Guo headed by Don Juan de Manila and Don Nicolas Mananguete of Candába. Originally, the organizers civilly petitioned the colonial authorities to limit their abuses and to respect their dignity as the traditional rulers of their region. Their protests led to violence and ended in much bloodshed when the colonial authorities ignored their petition. Three years later, a similar revolt was being organized by the displaced nobilities of Tondo. Among the leaders was Dionisio Capúlong, son of Lakandúla of Tondo and former ruler of Candába.
In the 1590s, the Spaniards discovered that the Candába nobility were secretly buying gold from the natives living along the headwaters of the Indûng Kapampángan River. Candába immediately became the staging point for the conquest of the Cagayan Valley and the Northeast Frontier.
In 1640, Nicolas Alónso, a young Kapampángan nobleman from Candába, was listed as one of the few privileged sons of the Kapampángan nobility allowed to study at the Jesuit College of San Felipe de Asturias in Manila. The college was founded by Governor General Hurtado de Corcuera for the purpose of Hispanizing the native Kapampángan nobility.
In 1784, the colonial authorities decided to resettle 200 Christian Chinese along the Pinác de Candába. Evidence of their presence can be seen in the last three Chinese tombstones found right on the doorstep of the Church of Saint Andrew. One has the name Jose Tecson - “Jose Tecson”(扶西徳孫), who died in 1728, is clearly written in Chinese characters. Another tomb stone with the surname Chan or Tan (陳) tells that he died in the Bing Chen Era (1736–1820) during the reign of Qing Emperors Gaozong (清高宗) and Renzong (清仁宗).
The Chinese character in the tombstone of Jose Tecson - Hu Si Tek Sun Bu is his name and the name of a place - Jose Tecson [Hu Si Tek Sun Bu] from Immortal Torch. Guangzhou, China is called Immortals City. The Tecson are descendants of Tek Sun - Three brothers from Guangzhou, China. The Tecson of San Jose, Batangas, Tecson of San Miguel, Bulacan, Tecson of Balanga, Bataan, Tecson of Tanauan, Leyte, Tecson of Tanay, Rizal and Ticzon of San Pablo, Laguna.
The Pinák or Candába Swamp, with its fertile soil and abundant fish and game, had always been a haven for various rebel groups throughout history. During the Philippine Revolution, it was the haunt of rebel-messiah Ápûng Ipê Salvador and his armed pro-Utopian and anti-Foreign peasant religious army, the Santa Iglesia or Colorum. In 1898, Ápûng Ipê and his Colorum army marched triumphantly into Candába town after chasing away the last of the Spanish colonial militia. A year later, they would return to the Pinák from which to harass the new invaders, the Americans. Their fight against American Imperialist Rule continued up to the 1930s and their movement attracted other peasants in nearby towns and provinces. The establishment of the Socialist Movement in the 1930s attracted most of the members of the Colorum. The Socialist Movement formed the core of the Hukbalahap during the Japanese occupation. The Pinák served as their impenetrable stronghold against the Japanese. Dayangdáyang (Felipa Culálâ), a daughter of Candába and Chief of General Welfare of the Hukbalahap led a series of successful raids against the Japanese Forces in 1943. After the war, the Pinák once again served as a haven for the Peoples Liberation Army (HMB) who fought against the American-sponsored Philippine Republic. In 1945, the Philippine Commonwealth troops entered in the town of Candaba, Pampanga with other Kapampangan guerrillas against the Japanese forces at the end in World War II.
Candaba, as also told by Dr. Juan P. Gatbonton, one of the more knowledge chroniclers of the town, derived its name from Candawe, a name of a place close to sitio Culumanas in Candaba. Candawe was later corrupted to Candaba. Another school of thought, based on folklore perpetuated by word of mouth thru the years, tracing origin of the word Candaba from "Cang Daba" or Brother Dana (Daba is a term used for a big earthen jar and obese people are teased by likening them to a Daba) thus, it came to pass that every out-of-towner buying fish and famed "bur" (pickled fish) were almost invariably referred to Cang Daba. The town later on came to be called Candaba.
The rest of the account by Gatbonton follows.
"A Franciscan Priest, Father Placencia, wrote that even as early as 1577, the administrations of the towns in the country was in the hands of Filipinos called "datus". The Spaniards arrived in Pampanga in 1572 with the Augustinian missionaries. Candaba even then was already recognized as their settlement. Candawe was a sitio where the first church in Candaba was constructed because it represented the highest, uninundated part of Candaba, near what is sitio Culumanas today. Candaba lies at latitude 15 degrees 05 and longitude 120 degrees 49 and its boundaries are: Arayat (Pampanga) and Cabiao (Nueva Ecija) to the south; San Miguel and San Ildefonso to the east; Baliwag to the north and San Luis and Sta. Ana to the West.
Basically a fishing and farming community, the place was administered by datus as early as 1577.
[edit]Urbanization

Candaba has a very high economic potential but the lack of good infrastructures such as paved roads especially the long delayed Candaba Road stretching from the municipality of Baliuag Bulacan to the town proper of Candaba. Because it is the lowest point in Central Luzon, floods frequent this area causing many planted farmland along the Candaba road to submerge during rainy season, this leads to inability of the local folks to transport their goods to the town proper and in other areas. Trade between the people of kapampangan and tagalogs is rare as access between their goods is hampered and challenged by this infrastructure, environmental challenges and to some extent, the linguistic differences among them. The Tagalog folks are often trading and spending more outside, most in the town of Baliuag which is more proximate than the town proper.
Way back in the late 1990s, there was a proposal to divide the area into two municipalities of Candaba: for the kapampangan region, and Bahay Pare for the Tagalog. The latter's name is derived from the largest barangay in terms of population named Bahay Pare
[edit]Religion

Roman Catholic 91%, Members Church of God,International 1.5%, Evangelicals 2%, Iglesia ni Cristo 3%, Others (Includes Islam, Buddhism, Other Religionist) 2.5%.
One of the most famous religious sites of this town is to be found in a small farming barangay called Pulong Gubat. Every year, especially during the Holy Week, a lot of pilgrims and devotees flock to this small village believing that Nuestra Señor dela Pacencia (Apo), its venerated statue of Christ, will cure their illness or grant their wishes. Apo shares many features with the Black Nazarene of Quiapo They are both the image of the dark-skinned Christ, share the same annual feast day which is on 9 January and both have miraculous attributes. The most striking contrast though is that the latter one carries a cross while the other one features Christ seated at His throne in Heaven, ready to judge the living and the dead.
[edit]Bird sanctuary

Eastern Marsh Harrier (Circus spilotonus), Candaba Marsh
On January 2008, a Philippine record of 17,000 birds (in the 24-hour census) visited the 32,000-hectare Candaba Swamp, sanctuary for migratory birds. Michael Lu, president of the Wild Bird Club of the Philippines (WBCP), stated that 80 species of migratory birds were sighted at the 100-hectare fishpond of Mayor Jerry Pelayo in Barangay Doña Simang and in Barangay Paralaya. The rare birds spotted were: the Shrenck’s Bittern, Great Bittern, Gadwall, Coot, Philippine Mallard or ducks, and Eurasian Spoonbill (Platalea leucorodia). Robert S. Kennedy’s book “A Guide to the Birds of the Philippines” lists endemic and migratory birds which visit the Philippines. Pelayo organized the Ibon-Ebon Festival (“birds and eggs”) on February 1–2. The WBCP recorded 3 rare species in Candaba swamp: the Purple Swamphen (Porphyrio porphyrio), Chinese Pond Heron (Ardeola bacchus) and the Black-Crowned Night Heron (Nycticorax nycticorax).[1]

patlite_boy Welcome back Pidjung

thank you cabalen

hintain mo pag dating ng ayala land.. sa san fernando.. banda sa capitolyo kasi gagawa sila ng CBD sa pasudeco..seryoso na sila

San yung source mo dito? Can you pls share it?
Anyway, nice pics from your video

sana magkaroon din ng monument in honor of the city's old name: Culiat.

Mariano Henson wrote that the origin of Angeles’ former name is the plant Culiát, Gnetum indicum Lour. Merr. a woody vine that abound in the place then. Today, this vine is said to be an endangered specie. The few surviving kuliat can be found in Palawan and in the botanical garden of U.P. Los Baños in Laguna. -from http://tarebalakdiscovery.blogspot.c...g-angeles.html
the Kuliat vine:

Diyan pala binase ang name date ng angeles. Sana maparami uli yang mga halaman na yan. Nakakalungkot naman pag may halaman o hayop na nae-extinct. Negligence is one thing we Filipinos not only Capampangans have in common. We don't see other living things value not unless it's too late to save it.

I am hoping not only monuments will serve to remind us that this astonishing thing exist.

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO -- The Singaporean firm Surbana One is now looking on the 40-hectare land of the Pampanga Sugar Development Company (Pasudeco) here for business hub.

This was bared to Sun.Star Pampanga by Mayor Oscar Rodriguez and Councilor Jimmy Lazatin Wednesday after a meeting with the Surbana delegation led by vice president for Business Development Cheng Sai Keong at Heroes Hall.

Updates on President Benigno Aquino III's presidency

Rodriguez said that the group had expressed the intention of developing the area into a possible world-class business hub and a central business district (CBD). The group is still holding ocular inspection in the city as of this posting.

Rodriguez said that the City Government of San Fernando has been pushing for the development of the area along with the Escaler Family into a CBD.

"Long term plans are being undertaken to address the traffic situation in the area and with the ongoing Sagip Ilog Project that aims to de-clog our waterways here so there would be no major problem in terms of flooding," Rodriguez said.

This was seconded by Councilor Lazatin, who said that if the Singaporean firm would finalize their plans here, a new wave of developments would be ushered into the city.

Lazatin said that Surbana One is planning to create a business center in the likes of Bonifacio Global City.

"The objective is to create a 'city within a city', but for us in the city council we see this prospect in terms of additional employment for our people, business development and revenue for the city. The Singaporean company, if they finalize their plans, would be assured of the help of the City Council on setting up business here," Lazatin said.

Lazatin added that Pasudeco is the only remaining large land area in the city fit for commercial development. Today, the land holdings of Pasudeco here are regarded as the next frontier development for the city.

Lazatin said that the city's best practices in issuance of business permits and red-tape free processing of documents are good come-ons for businessmen both here and abroad.

"We hope that the Singaporean firm will decide on finally investing here in San Fernando," Lazatin said. (Ian Ocampo Flora)

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO -- A Heritage Conservation Society (HCS) official suggested
that Pampanga Sugar Development Corporationâ€™s (Pasudeco) mill be
â€œconservedâ€ in its entirety and be converted into a mall or museum to
preserve its heritage value.

During Saturdayâ€™s heritage forum, Ivan Anthony Henares, vice president and
youth adviser of the HCS, said it would be best if the City Government retain
the original state of the sugar mill in its plan to develop the area where it is
located into a central business district.

â€œThat is important because the sugar mill is even in the seal of the city,
which means it is part of its long historical heritage. In fact, Pasudeco played
a vital role in the development of the city since the beginning. Apart from its
symbolic chimneys, we could perhaps retain, or rather conserve it entirely to
preserve its heritage value,â€ Henares told Sun.Star Pampanga.

He said removing its galvanized iron walls and replacing them with glass would
make the sugar mill an attraction in itself.

â€œLetâ€™s take the cue from abroad where they convert dilapidated or unused
buildings and turn them into museums. But they exert efforts to preserve the
value of its heritage. I think we could also do that. I believe the City
Government has ordinances on this that would be implemented soon,â€ Henares
said, adding that Pasudeco, like the old railroad passenger station in the city,
are heritage highlights that must be â€œconserved.â€
