The Tagalogs are geographically close to us Kapampangans, and that is something that we can never change. Being neighbors, they will always be there, so it is to our interest to cultivate good relations with them. But, having said that, it doesn't mean that we should lose our identity and become Tagalogs (in the same way that the Tagalogs probably could not imagine themselves becoming Kapampangans, no matter how attached some of them might be to their Pampangan neighbors.). Unfortunately, the sheer size of the Tagalogs as a people, and their overwhelming cultural (and political, etc.) dominance in Philippine affairs, ensures that any other nationality or ethno-linguistic group in an extremely close relationship with them will end up being absorbed by them, not absorbing them. If we value at all our identity, our key role in history as Kapampangans (and it is a proud one, we should be reminded, almost as important as that of the Tagalogs, despite our being much smaller), it would not do any harm to keep a little distance and self-respect, rather than snuggle too close, to the detriment of our Kapampangan-ness. [/Q]
Also, while Kapampangans and Tagalogs are “intertwined,” this “intertwining” apparently does not extend to politics and political behavior. They are very different in political behavior, at least in the past few decades. For example, while Kapampangans (in both Pampanga and Southern Tarlac) voted for Diosdado Macapagal in 1965, Sergio Osmeña, Jr. in 1969, and Corazon Aquino in 1986, the rest of Central Luzon (which, without Pampanga and Southern Tarlac, would be overwhelmingly Tagalog), as well as the Southern Tagalog Region, voted for Ferdinand Marcos in all three elections by a landslide. And while Kapampangans (again in both Pampanga and Southern Tarlac) voted for Jose de Venecia in 1998 and Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo in 2004, the rest of Central Luzon (again, like the Southern Tagalog) voted for Joseph Estrada and Fernando Poe, Jr., respectively. But that is not all. In the case of Macapagal and Macapagal-Arroyo, Tagalog “Central Luzonians” chose the non-Kapampangan candidate, even if he was not from Central Luzon, over the Kapampangan (and “Central Luzonian”) candidate. If they were that “intertwined” with or “close” to Kapampangans, or if they had considered that they belonged to the same “Central Luzon” region (which Pimentel proposes to make a single state) and felt a sense of loyalty, shouldn’t they at least have voted for the Kapampangan candidate, who is, after all, their fellow “Central Luzonian”? In any case, wouldn’t putting Kapampangans in such a state, which diverges so radically from their own political realities, and which has little in common with them politically, not drown out or stifle their own varying political views, to say nothing of their different language, culture and identity? In conclusion, given its political distinctiveness, plus its unique language, culture and history, and the fact that (according to Dr. Rene Azurin, as mentioned earlier) it can stand on its own financially, the way most other Pimentel states cannot, don’t you think the Kapampangan Region politically deserves to be a federal state of its own?

By Albert B. Lacanlale

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO -- For three consecutive years, Pampanga has led all Central Luzon provinces in terms of export performance, an official said. [snip]
In 2004 and 2005, according to Lantayona, Pampanga posted the highest export contributions to the region with an annual average export of US$3.1 billion out of the average annual total of US$4.9 billion for the entire region. [snip]
Pampanga ranks 3rd and 5th in assets
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AmanungSisuan/message/11207
Quezon City – The Commission on Audit released last Friday the financial statements highlighting the local government units in which the province of Pampanga ranked 3rd out of 80 provinces and 137 cities of the Philippines which got one of the highest assets.

Sana pin, kapatad. Nanupata, basan tamu ing sasabian ning metung a matenakan king sociolinguistics:
p. 70
But a dominant language in close contact with a minor language tends to exclude, eliminate and achieve total victory over the minor. A normal state between languages is that of war.
151-152
We have postulated as a general rule that languages in contact, to the extent that they cannot ignore each other, will show stratification. Further, except when the object is to forbid rather than
to facilitate communications, the dominant language will tend to be the only language.
p.200
The modern state, especially the state that strives for the geographic and social mobility of its citizens, does not willingly put up with multilingualism. Unless it establishes institutional obstacles, the most powerful of which is the linguistic frontier, it will follow a natural evolution that will lead to unilingualism…

Here is the official trailer of Balangingi. Kalalangan Kamaru presents another Kapampangan short film ('Nosebleed' in English). It is an "intellectual" romantic comedy following a mind-boggling and unstable relationship of two intellectuals (read: nerds).
written and directed by Jason Paul Laxamana
crew: Diego Dobles, Arn Lagazo
music: Diego Dobles
starring: Jayvie Dizon, Frency Rodriguez, Raco Del Rosario, Crystal Herrera, Menchi Dobles
Xoo seems to be a standard teenager who lives boringly like everyone else, but unknown to people in his surroundings is what happens in his head--philosophizing about things average people would deem mundane, down to the minutest detail. One day, he is forced to attend a blind date. To avoid turning off his date, he struggles to suppress his intellectual side.
This short film gives a peek to that minority in Philippine society who are unlikely to survive socially by being themselves--the Filipino intellectuals. Or as laymen would call them: Nerds! As parents call them: Pilosopo!
