Long time lurker, first time poster living in NYC (10" inches of snow in February) and glad to have found this place.

Mibait ku Angeles, dagul ku Balibago, detang bale keng gulut na ning Del Rosario compound. Arap na ning bale mi was an elementary school (wonder if its still there). I've been reading up on so many threads about "home" that its making me want to come back asap. Tatalwi kaming minuli was '99. Megaral ku king Narciso, kayari ka rin king Holy Family and then Chevalier for half a school year then we left for the US.

Can't wait to go back!

Your traveling at NLEX at 100 KpH going to Mabalacat. The bus is traveling from Dau with a speed of 80 KPH, they are expected to meet in 30 minutes. The question, where specificially does Kapampangan language being spoken if your coming from Bulacan, Zambales, Tarlac and Nueva Ecija? Does some other towns of the other provinces that were mentioned also speak Kapampangan?

Thanks! :)

Kálam
KALAM (Gift)

Just about when you thought science has dominated the earth, unexplainable things happen next door—a classmate with his tummy aching due to a thorny plant growing inside his intestines, a civilian who is a yuppie by day but voodoo practitioner by night, and diseases the sources of which the best doctors could not figure out, to name a few. This is the urban fantastic world of 'Kalam.'

Kalam is set in contemporary Pampanga and follows the clandestine lives of modern day witches—good, evil, and neutral ones—struggling to live in a society that is home to people torn between superstition and science. With black witches—each motivated by individual reasons such as personal gain, hatred against non-witches, and revenge—roaming the province and causing harm to people, Yubs, with the aid of both witch and non-witch allies, reunites with his folkloric roots and enhances his skill in order to cure and counter cases of evil witchcraft and eventually stop the black witches from disturbing the community.

Kalam is a Kapampangan word which means blessing. Before witches had been demonized by a community that doubts things they could not comprehend, they were known as people with "kalam," or gifted people, due to their supernatural abilities.

kapampangan region is very small geographically, it is surprising it is still able to withstand the intrusion of the tagalog language. the true heartland is the province of pampanga and southern tarlac (conception, capas, bamban). tarlac city is still predominantly kapampangan but i doubt if it will be able to maintain that majority. signifiacant number of kapampangan speakers in southwestern nueva ecija (cabiao), northeastern bataan (abucay), and western bulacan (san miguel). angeles city which is the biggest and most prosperous city is rapidly becoming a melting pot with a big population of non kapampangan speakers.

'Sisig Queen' murdered

ANGELES CITY -- The Sisig Queen is dead!

http://www.sunstar.com.ph/static/pam/2008/04/17/news/.sisig.queen.murdered.html

Lucia Lagman Cunanan, 80, the woman behind the "Aling Lucing's Sisig" eateries and the acknowledged re-inventor of the Kapampangan dish "sisig," was found dead with 10 stab wounds in the body inside her room at 1538 C. Pineda Street in Barangay Claro M. Recto here Wednesday morning.


Fred, 54, one of the victim's sons, said his father, Victorino, was tasked to get some food from their store a few blocks away when the incident happened. He said when Victorino came back from the errand, he found his wife and bathing in her own blood.

The housemaid, Bibeth Regoncilo, 36, who was sleeping in a separate room, was unharmed.

"It was around 4 a.m. (Wednesday) when my father went out, when he came back my mother was dead. She does not have any quarrel with anyone," he said, adding that his mother spent most of her time at home after relegating family business obligations to her children.

The 10 stab wounds sustained by Cunanan were inflicted by a still unidentified killer. Victorino found her wife's body on their bed when he returned to their room.

He told police investigators that he left their house at 3 a.m. to get some food from their night shop in Barangay Agapito Del Rosario here but the establishment was already closed when he got there.

When he returned home and proceeded to their room, he was surprised to find everything in disarray.

Chief Inspector Jaime Villamil, chief of Angeles Police-Station 6, said Angeles Police Director George Gaddi has ordered a deeper investigation into the case.

Villamil said the death of Mrs. Cunanan was a robbery homicide but added that police are also looking into other possible angles.

"So far we do not have any suspects," Villamil said, adding that there was no sign of force entry as showed by the initial findings of the Scene of the Crime Operatives (Soco).

He said the killer took the victim's gold necklace and two gold rings.

Villamil said the case was turned over to the Detective Management Bureau (DMB) of the city police, which will conduct a full-blown investigation into the case.

As of Wednesday afternoon, the DMB headed by Senior Inspector Danilo Cadiz, is taking statements from Victorino.

The police also invited the maid for questioning.

Victorino told police investigators that the perpetrator left without taking any cash from their room. He added that some dents on the cash vault showed that the killer tried to open this forcibly using a hammer, but in vain.

According to one of the victim's relatives, a same break-in incident happened a few months back allegedly perpetrated by someone close to the family. However, the incident was not reported to the police.

"My mother did not deserve to die that way," exclaimed Lolita while holding a picture of the grand matriarch of Kapampangan cooking.

Police officials here are still pursuing possible leads on the resolution of the case.

Barangay Claro M. Recto chairman Valentino Lagman, a close of the victim, denounced the killing and vowed to help in gathering information to help police in solving the case.

Vice Mayor Vicky Vega-Cabigting expressed shock and sadness over the death of Cunanan.

"We condemn in the strongest terms the killing of culinary icon Aling Lucing Cunanan! Her death is a great loss to Angeleños and the Kapampangans as well. Aling Lucing has placed Angeles City in the tourism map for her delectable 'sisig'. We will miss the Sisig Queen and we hope that her Legacy will live on," she said.

Cunanan was credited for reinventing the native dish "sisig," by creating a variant that has been known nationally. She hailed from La Paz, Tarlac and was able to marry in Pampanga and started her business in 1974, which became successful.

Aling Lucing, as she is popularly called, is the Grand Slam Winner of the 2005 Angeles City Sisig Festival, besting 176 competing sisig recipes. She is also the Grand Slam Winner of the 2005 Angeles City Sisig Festival, besting 176 competing sisig recipes. She is also the recipient of other culinary awards and recognitions and appeared in a soy sauce commercial with other big culinary names. She has also been fondly called as Sisig Queen by local food lovers who have fallen in love with her special dish. (DMF/IOF)

Very very sad news. :( I remember when I met her when we started the franchise wing of Aling Lucing's Sisig. She was an adorable person. Hopefully this case won't be like the other cold blooded cases in our country that are either unsolved or are taking a long time to be solved. :(
 
FREQUENCY K: KOOL MAGING KAPAMPANGAN!

We used to only have Arnel Panganiban's Kapampangan Ku, Pagmaragul Ku on GVAM 792 as the sole radio program based in Pampanga that features Kapampangan songs, mostly pulosas and basultos. When it comes to FM radio, Kapampangan is nowhere to be found. All we hear are English and Tagalog songs, making the Kapampangan youth more and more absorbed to these languages (hey, the songs are hip and cool; it makes the language of their lyrics cool as well then), away from their mother tongue, Kapampangan.

Well, not anymore.



I am also now DJ Jason Paul of the GVFM 99.1 Kapampangan weekly show, Frequency K (the letter K stands for, as you might have guessed, Kapampangan), along with DJ Diegs (Diego Dobles of Asthma band). In this show, we host in Kapampangan, play modern Kapampangan songs, admit Kapampangan greetings, and tell Kapampangan trivia!

Apart from that, we also guest live bands with Kapampangan remakes/compositions every episode. For our pilot airing, we guested Guagua-based band Pedro's Playground. They performed an original composition titled Dayang Kapampangan (Kapampangan Blood). The lyrics below.

We also have this segment called Lakwatseru, where we go to various schools and universities to record Kapampangan greetings and messages from random students and personalities we encounter.

Frequency K may be heard on GVFM 99.1 every Saturday, 7 PM. If you're in a band or you know a Kapampangan band interested to play live (acoustic setup only; song must be in Kapampangan) in our show, have them contact me @ 09186992459.

The objective of the show is to have the Kapampangan language penetrate the pop culture industry, in hopes of returning or increasing the ethnic pride of the culturally confused Kapampangan youth. We also want to propagate the idea to budding Kapampangan musicians that using our Amanung Sisuan in modern music is not grotesque. It's in fact hip!

As our tagline goes, uling king Frequency K, kool maging Kapampangan! (For in Frequency K, it's cool to be Kapampangan!)


Dayang Kapampangan
By Pedro'’s Playground

Atin kesabyan kekatamung Kapampangan
King pamagmalan atna katamung pangaselan
King pamaglutu, dadayuan da katamu deng tau
Sisig, tidtad, palabuk, deng pagmayabang tamu

(Things they say about us, Kapampangans
We're choosy when it comes to dressing up
We're renowned by people for our culinary skills
We take pride in sisig, tidtad, palabuk)

Aliwa tamung Kapampangan
Masyas tamu tetagan
Andyang nanung kasakitan
Misasanmetung tamu ngan

(We, Kapampangans, are distinct
We have a strong lineage
Whatever challenge we face
We're always united)

Andyang nanung problema, laging mipapanantabe
Uling king pamakiabe, balu ta' ing makatibe
Bansag da kekatamu, deng taung dayang asu
Ing e da mu balu, relihiyosu ta'ng tutu

(In every crisis, we look after one another
Because altogether we strive to be better
They brand us "with canine blood"
Little do they know, we're also spiritual)

Aliwa tamung Kapampangan
Masyas tamu tetagan
Andyang nanung kasakitan
Misasanmetung tamu ngan

(We, Kapampangans, are distinct
We have a sturdy lineage
Whatever challenge we face
We're always united)
