Pampanga or Pampaŋga is a province in the Central Luzon
region of the Philippines. Lying on the northern shore of Manila Bay, Its
capital is the City of San Fernando. The name La Pampanga was given by the
Spaniards, who encountered natives living along the banks (pampáng) of the
Pampanga River. At the eve of the Philippine Revolution of 1896, Pampanga was
one of eight provinces placed under martial law for rebellion against the
Spanish Empire; it is thus represented on the Philippine national flag as one
of the eight rays of the sun.
And I am a proud Kapampangan
I was raised and born in Manila but my grandmother make
sure that I know where my mother’s clan came from and that is why every fiesta
of Anda Lucia, we make sure that we visit our relatives in San Fernando.
I maybe a Kapampanga but I never really known Pampanga
that well until we made a tour around the province. What can I say, let’s rediscover what
Pampanga has to offer.
