anytime this week I may sent some photos since I planned to enter Clark from Mabalacat Gate then go to Friendship then to Sapang Bato on the road to Porac.

alam mo, ikaw na siguro ang kukunin kong guide when i'm in town; i'll ride shotgun with you - you drive and i'll take the photos. di ko na talaga alam ang ibang pasikut-sikot dyan, di ko alam na me daan na pala papuntang porac sa may sapang bato; i got relatives there (sapang bato) and i stayed there when i was little.



@ishtefh_03, kelan nag-start dumami ang mga koreano's sa HAU? do they mingle with the pinoys and have they learned our linggo. okey mu nung abalu de ing tagalog, ali mu sa ing kapampangan; e ta la apisali (he he)

This is my first post. I appreciate all info that all of you are sharing in this thread. Its unbelievable all the new developments in a span of 5 years in Angeles City and Pampanga. I hope it will continue. Check this out, I think they are biggest developer of housing subdivisions in Pampanga right now.

My hometown.

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


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

AUF also has a sizable Korean student population, pambato nga sila sa mga Science and Math Quiz Bees dito eh, madaming Math Freaks sa kanila promise. The recently concluded Inter-colegiate academic contests ang mga teams/colleges na champions sa Math and Science quiz bees ay may Korean members. Pero sa English competitions like Oration and Impromptu Speech siyempre Pinoy na dun.

my highschool days was 1999-2003, and they have their own group. i don't see them hanging around with pinoys(the college students) pero those who are in HS, they mingle with pinoys.

okey, no problem as guide, if and when I am available...

this afternoon just took some photos of friendship up to city proper before arriving nepo. I shall post it tonight.

I previously planned to go to sapang bato before since a neighbor told me that there were nice views there where SCTEX is passing. however my wif?'s relatives told me not to go there alone (for security reasons)

[ishtefh_03]

hey, i have a kumpare who lives in sapang maisac by sta. clara subd. - don't know how far that is to lapid's ville; but i guess you wouldn't know them. but in case you might, the last name is Cuenco (he has 3 sons)... what's CUBA?

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

A sort of Gypsy caravan where the whole family is present in their travel. A very friendly country bumpkin. They asked me if I can sent a copy of the photos I take. Perhaps when I printed it and look for them somewhere in the city or the next town of their itinerary.

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

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

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

@dizflip -
marami talagang Koreans.. and more in metro manila. also bumbay marami na rin.
ang unica hija ko na nag aaral sa AUF-IS ay marami ding classmates na Koreans.

@zelrich
I heard from a neighbor that the SCETEX is passing Sapang Bato from Clark.
pupunta sana ako kahapon, takot din ako baka may army checkpoint and look
for my cedula and many many things....

i used to be a member of national geographic for 15 years.
