I am Kapampangan by birth. Food and Festivals pepper my memories of the place, even if I did not grow up here. The Lantern Festivals of Christmas, the Hot Air Balloons of February, and the Lenten Festivals of the Catholic Holy Week are ever present in this province. Kapampangans are renowned for their culinary tastes and expertise! And the land offers adventures for one and all - from the hikes to the crater lake of Mt. Pinatubo, to the more sedentary pleasures of the wonderful restaurants in Angeles City. Pampanga is never boring! |
