SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROFILE 2014 / CHAPTER 1: GENERAL INFORMATION
CHAPTER I :
A. GENERAL INFORMATION
I. G ENERAL INF ORM ATION

I. H ISTO RY
ANCIENT PAMPANGA. The first trickle of Pampanga settlers came as early as 300 to 400 A.D.
from Indonesia. It was not however, until the 11th and 12th century that the mass exodus took place. At
the height of the Madjapahit era, the empire embarked on a ruthless adventure that forced smaller
kingdoms to seek and established their own independent empires.
Among those kingdoms were the fiercely independent and freedom-loving Pampango-speaking
Sumatrans under the leadership of Prince Balagtas, a sovereign of the Madjapahit Empire. They
established their own dynasty based on the social foundations of liberty, independence and economic
well-being.
The first stop in Prince Balagtas’ migration was Burnay now (Brunei) where he established his
dominion and strengthened his influence by marrying the granddaughter of the kingdom’s ruler.
Apparently, enticed by a tale of a paradise land in what would later be known as the province of
Pampanga, Prince Balagtas and his migratory group sailed for Central Luzon and gradually pushed inland
passing through the Rio Grande (Pampanga River), and the Rio Chico, the only passable routes at that
time.
Along the way, they found river dwellers who, they left in peace. However, they established their
own settlements and even made extensive clearings to implement their knowledge in farming with the
verdant forests and fertile soil in the areas that provided limitless opportunities for expansion.
The progressive newcomers became known all over as “Tagapangpang” and the areas they settled
in were collectively known as Pampangan (from the word pang-pang, which means riverbank). With the
coming of the Spaniards which had a difficulty pronouncing “ng’ and the vagaries of the communication
process, the name of the province finally became “Pampanga”.
EARLY CIVILIZATION. The socio-political and economic conditions in Pampanga before the
colonizers came indicate that the Pampango had a functioning and well-adjusted system of self-
governance. The agricultural sector produced food that was more than sufficient. There were artisans
who had various skills, laws that preserved peace and order and a class structure that offered security for
the member of the community. The native Pampango also engaged in trade that brought them in contact
with people beyond their immediate surroundings.
Burial sites containing Chinese pottery and early Spanish accounts indicate long-standing links of
the Pampango with the outside world particularly the Chinese. Records also show that they did not
engage in trade but traveled by sea as well, sailing to places such as the Moluccas and Borneo.
Even before the Spaniards came, there were already communities along the water routes, mainly
in the South near Rio Grande or along its tributaries farther north. The eleven (11) most important
settlements on the 16th Century were Lubao, Macabebe, Sasmuan, Betis, Guagua, Bacolor, Apalit, Arayat,
Candaba, Porac and Mexico (Masicu). Rice was the major crop and the farmers and other residents lived
in autonomous villages called barangay. Accounts also point to a fairly advanced material culture as
evidenced by woven cloth and metal craft as well as extensive use of Chinese pottery.
An official Spanish report in 1567 states that at least two communities, Lubao and Betis, has
Muslim inhabitants. However, there is no evidence that Islam had spread to the rest of the province
during that period.
PAMPANGA DURING THE SPANISH PERIOD. The conquest of Pampanga by the Spanish
colonizers began in 1571 right after the defeat of Raja Soliman in Tondo. Although there was some
1|Page
resistance from the Muslim communities in Lubao and Betis. Hispanization proceeded so rapidly that in
1574 Pampango soldiers were fighting on the side of the Spaniards to repel the onslaught of the Chinese
pirate Limahong. By 1597 Augustinian friars were already highly visible in all eleven (11) major Pampango
communities. By the middle of the 17th century almost all the natives were under the influence of the
Catholic church.
The province was also important to the colonizers as source of soldiers. The Pampanga not only
helped defend Manila against Limahong but also joined in the massacre of the Chinese population around
Manila. As a reward, some Pampango were given positions in the Spanish army and cited for their
“bravery” and most “reasonable” and “civilized” among the natives. From 1603 to the end of the Spanish
regime, a contingent of Pampango soldiers served in the colonial army. In the 17 th century it fought
against Dutch and set up an occupation force in the Moluccas. It also participated in campaigns against a
rebel group in Panay and against the Muslim and once again in another massacre of the Chinese in 1640.
In the 18th century, it fought the advancing Muslims and defended the Spanish government against British.
Pampanga was organized as an alcadia or province in 1571 to make it easier for the Spanish
authorities to pacify taxpayers and compel the natives to adjust to Spanish ways. The actual date was
December 11, 1571, the official founding date of the province and which is now being celebrated as
Pampanga Day. Although Augustinian friars were relied on to supervise local affairs, secular officials,
including native leaders, were also employed. Individual Spaniards who were awarded encomiendas or
areas of jurisdiction as their reward for faithful service to the crown were allowed to collect system failed
the pueblos or towns were established and headed by town mayors called gobernadorcillos. The
gobernadorcillos of the various pueblos and the parish priests were partners in assuring the central
government of a loyal and productive citizenry.
On at least occasions, however, the excesses of the regime drove the population to rise up in
arms. In 1583, the forced labor policy of the government sent many natives to work in the gold mines of
the Ilocos but did not allow them to return home in time for the planting season. As a result, grave food
shortages occurred the following year not only in Pampanga but in Manila as well. Thousands were
reported to have starved to death. The people decided to revolt and attempted to invade Manila but
army intervention led to the arrest and execution of many Pampango rebels. On 1660 the forced cutting
of timber for the use of galleons and naval ships and the failure of the Spanish government too pay for
the huge amount of rice that they had collected enraged the people once more. The planned revolt under
the leadership of Francisco Maniago of Mexico, involved residents of Pangasinan and Cagayan.
However, Spanish Gov. Manrique de Lara succeeded in eroding the unity of the rebels displaying
armed might and befriending the natives, especially their chiefs. By promising many rewards, he won to
his side one of the leaders, Juan Macapagal and this discouraged the other chiefs, who were generally
weak and vacillating. The two failed attempts effectively silences further Pampango resistance until the
revolution of 1896.
As Spanish rule progressed, certain changes occurred in Pampango society. The datu who was
now known as cabeza de barangay, and the local gobernadorcillo, became members of the principalia or
the elite class which acted as the intermediary between the people and the colonial government. The
principalia’s twin responsibilities were given many privileges, which guaranteed their superior social and
political status in the community.
With the slavery system abolished by the Spanish authorities, a two-class societal structure
emerged, with the datu-cabezas forming the upper section and the timawa and former slaves, the lower
section. The cabezas collected tribute to maintain their economic control over the peasants. Villagers
unable to pay the imposed taxes were forced to borrow from the principalia at usurious rates. This
arrangement was known as “samacan” the peasant-borrower was called the “casamac”. The excessively
2|Page
high interest exacted kept the peasant in perpetual debt. However, this new burden did not seem to
unduly distress the peasants as the presence of a recognized leader among them was a sense of security.
Manila was opened to world commerce in 1790, when the Real Compania de Filipina (Royal
Philippine Company), a joint venture of the government and a private corporation, started direct trade
between the Philippines and Spain, ushering the country into a new era of economic activity. In Pampanga
the demands of the world market caused a gradual shift from rice to sugar as the major crop. Sugar
became the principal source of income and wealth for both the native elite and Spanish officialdom.
The prevalence of cash-crop agriculture gave rise to a new group of Pampango: the business-
minded Chinese mestizos. A product of the intermarriage of Chinese men and native women, the mestizos
eventually moved away from their original settlement in Guagua. They mixed with the general population
in the town centers, established small businesses, accepted local manners and customs and intermarried
with native men and women. The mestizos loaned to small landlords the capital needed in switching from
rice to sugar. In return, landlords pledged their property as collateral. In this manner, ownership of
considerable areas of agricultural land was transferred from native to mestizo.
Increasing control of the community’s economic life meant and increase in social and political
clout. Before long, the Pampango principalia began to be dominated by the newcomers. To preserve
their position, native families found it necessary to intermarry with mestizos.
As the new industry continued to progress, the new principalia was becoming an elite. Apart from
controlling the economy, they penetrated the professions, including priesthood. They gradually began
using the Spanish language, which further alienated them from the peasantry. Desiring to consolidate
their wealth and enlarge their sphere of influence, the leading families of one pueblo intermarry with
mestizos.
The sugar boom continued in the 18 th century, and rice was displaced as the number one produce
of the province. The function of the land changed, from the culture of food crops for the consumption to
production for trade. More and more, land became the source of wealth and power. The cacique, as the
landlords were now called, started using labor contracts in dealing with their tenants. The tenants hardly
had enough income at the end of the crop season to enable them to save and move up to social ladder.
They incurred debts, which they eventually passed onto their children, thus perpetuating their tenant’s
status.
As Pampanga drew closer to Manila through economic contact, the native-mestizo upper class
became modern in behavior and outlook. They began to imbibe western attitudes through association
with Spaniards and visiting Europeans as well as through their schooling. This group called ilustrado, the
enlightened ones, mostly European educated and Spanish speaking, occupied the topmost level of the
hierarchial structure of Pampango society.
Below the ilustrados were the other landowners who confined themselves to managing their
estates within the province. The least prestigious belonging to this class was the group of professionals
who emerged as a result of the cash-crop economy. Their status derived from the practice of their
profession rather than ownership of land.
Pampanga may have been initially indifferent towards the political conflict raging in the late 19 th
century in the neighboring Tagalog provinces. However, a few Pampango ilustrado, like Jose Alejandrino,
already introduced to liberal thinking through their European sojourn, supported the clamor for reform
initiated by the Tagalog ilustrado like Jose Rizal and Marcelo del Pilar. In the beginning, few even among
the peasantry, seemed interested in joining the more militant mass-based Katipunan movement of
Bonifacio, mainly because the problems facing the Tagalog were not even as severely felt in Pampanga;
3|Page
there were no large church estates, and ownership of much of the arable land was with the Pampango
themselves. Furthermore, the paternalistic relation between the landlords and peasants was still
operative. Latter, however, escalating hostilities spread throughout the province. A Pampango contigent
fought in a battle at Orani in Bataan while some joined Aguinaldo in Cavite. Many Pampango, however,
remained loyal to Spain and some, like Macabebe soldiers, served as volunteers in the colonial army.
The attitude of the Pampango significantly changed when Aguinaldo reached the area and
switched from open fighting to guerilla tactics. The first Katipunan secret cell in the province was
established in Guagua. In August 1897, and in June 1898 Pampanga committed itself to the revolutionary
cause. Upon the establishment of the first Philippine Republic, many belonging to the Pampango elite
took office under the new government. Jose Alejandrino and Jose Infante, two of the more prominent
Pampango at the time, served in the Constitutional Convention at Malolos, Bulacan in 1898. Tiburcio
Hilario served as provincial governor and Ceferino Joven, as mayor of Bacolor. The provincial council was
composed of Joven, Hilario, Mariano Vicente, Henson Mariano Alimurung and Roman Valdes.
AMERICAN REGIME. When the Philippine Republic went to war with the United States,
Pampanga was still on the side of the revolutionary forces. However, as American troops started to
overturn the province, its support for Aguinaldo began to waver. By applying the formula of the carrot
and stick, the colonizers were able to subdue all remaining Pampango resistance. Aguinaldo had failed to
stop their offer of peace and stability. As Pampanga entered the 20 th century under a new colonial regime,
the Pampango elite learned a new style of politics. The electoral contests for coveted government
positions gave rise to local politics oriented to personalities rather than issues, and characterized by weak
party discipline and results constantly disputed in the court, suffrage required stringent qualifications and
participation was limited in practice to upper class.
The lower class had to content with a continuing agricultural depression, government neglect the
decline sugar in the world market, as well as natural cause contributed to the economic crisis. The
landlords stuck to the traditional modes of agriculture instead of adapting modern farming techniques as
required by the new cash-crop economy.
The peasant for socializing of the upper class, which was flourishing under the new regime, gave
rise to social clubs. These exclusive clubs served to provide an opportunity for young people to meet
others of their own age and class, and for older one to make business contacts in a social setting.
Members used the clubs as venue for theatrical productions for various celebrations, and grand balls
which were reported in the national newspaper. More notable clubs were the EI Sociedad Hormiga de
Hierro (The Iron Ant Society) of Lubao, the Union Angelina of Angeles, the EI Circulo Fernandino and La
Mancomunidad Pampangueña of the entire province.
The increasing political, social and intellectual participation of the elite in non-agricultural
concerns triggers an exodus of landowning families from the barrios to the town centers. The proliferation
of new schools and universities offered alternatives to traditional life. Managing a farm in the barrio had
lost its appeal for most landowners’ children. Meanwhile, the peasants remained isolated from the new
culture geographically, socially and politically. The bonds, which have traditionally held the two classes
together, were starting to weaken.
A clear illustration of this growing schism was the acceptance by the peasantry of Felipe Salvador
and his quasi-religious movement called Santa Iglesia. Salvador joined the revolution in 1896 and became
a colonel in Aguinaldo’s army. When the Americans took over, he retreated in the Candaba swamp where
he conducted independent guerilla operations. After escaping from captivity, he created his own religious
cult which spread rapidly and gained adherents from the neighboring provinces of Tarlac, Bulacan, Nueva
Ecija and Pangasinan. Cloaked in religious mysticism, his simple and basic program tried to answer the
clamor of peasants everywhere: ownership of the land they were tilling after the overthrow of the
4|Page
government. The Catholic Church, alarmed at the Iglesia’s growing popularity, excommunicated all its
members. The Constabulary, on the other hand, fearing its revolutionary potential, sought its dissolution.
Salvador was later recaptured and executed. The Iglesia was not heard again.
Market conditions improved from 1911 to 1921. Two modern sugar centrals opened which
launched a new agricultural era. Increased credit assistance, government encouragement in the form of
new facilities and technical literature and the high price led planters to expand their production and to
adopt modern farming techniques.
Signs of the new scientific farming proliferated: tractors, centrals, steam rice mills among others.
The technical components of a modern agricultural societal led to society and economic adjustment. As
the upper class came upon new ways of increasing profit and lessening their dependence on the peasants,
the tenants found their traditional source of economic and social security, the landlords casamac
relationship, threatened for the first time.
Towards the end of the period, indications of landlords dissatistication with old tenancy system
were stating to surface. Commercial agriculture demanded seasonal workers more than tenant farmers
since labor was needed only at peak times. Furthermore, the planters had discovered that outside
workers could be hired at cut-rate wages and modern equipment such as tractors eliminated the need for
the services of some of their tenants. Because of these conditions, the landlord saw three options:
imposed more stringent demands upon the tenant by stricter enforcement of the landlord-tenant
government; simply evict the inefficient and extraneous tenants; or transform the tenant into a daily wage
worker and employ him on a seasonal basis. The landlord often settled for the last two options.
Soon, the tenants came to realize the inequities of the system under which they had labored for
centuries. Their response to the situation was quick and decisive. Starting with burning, their protest
grew in number. Numerous strikes demanding a bigger share if the profits were held all over the province.
By 1924 strikes were occurring with regularity and the landlords were starting to organize their own
protective associations.
The peasants themselves began to rely on new organizations for economic assistance as well as
social and political guidance. The Kapatiran Magsasaka, Kalipunang Pambansa ng Magbubukid
Talapagobra founded by Pedro Abad Santos, all had sizable membership at one time or another. Unlike
the Communist Party, the Socialist Party was outlawed for it did not advocate overthrow of government.
In 1938, when the communist leaders who were jailed in 1932 were pardoned the two parties merged.
Becoming more militant, these groups staged more strikes and other political activities. Four hours after
their sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese bombed several places in the Philippines, a US military
installation locatd in Angeles. As WWII engulfed the country, peasant leaders Luis Taruc, Juan Feleo,
Castor Alejandrino and others decided in a meeting to form the Hukbo ng Bayan Laban sa Hapon
(Hukbalahap). Being “Anti-Japanese above all” and using “united front” tactics to win over moderate
landlords and the middle class, the peasants and workers of the Hukbalahap adopted a three-point
program. The economic program sought to provide the people with sustenance and at the time thwart
Japanese plans to “rub the country”. Discrediting the “puppet regime” and destroying its influence
constituted the political program, while the military and elimination of the enemy whenever possible.
The iron-clad united and discipline of the Huks made them a most effective resistance
organizations. Not long after, the whole of Central Luzon and a few other provinces became Huk territory.
They took over the towns and municipal governments as well as the properties of the landlords who
evacuated to Manila. Many of these landlords refused to return to their homes for fear of liquidation by
the Huks. Even the Japanese feared the Huks more than they did to other guerilla units.
5|Page
SOCIAL AND POLITICAL STRUGGLE. The Huks emerged from the war as the dominant political
power in the province and in January 1945, Alejandrino was named provisional governor. The Huks,
however, were taken by surprise when the American began to disarm, arrest and even execute their
supposed allies. The Huk installed officials were removed and replaced by USAFFE (United States Arm
Forces in the Far East) guerillas whom the Huks considered rivals. The wealthy landlord, on the other
hand, hired Filipino military police and civilian guards, who railed Huk territories and sometimes killed
people wantonly, as shown in the Maliwalu, Bacolor massacre of innocent civilians. President Roxas
maneuvered to have duly elected Luis Taruc and his democratic Alliance companions unseated from
Congress. Failing to quell the rising tide of protest, the Roxas administration issued a proclamation
outlawing the Huk, whose name had changed to Hukbong Mapagpalaya ng Bayan. Roxas’ successor,
Elpidio Quirino in an effort to restore peace and order, as well as faith and confidence in the government,
granted full amnesty to the rebels but did not succeed. In October 1950, amid rumor that the Huk would
invade Manila and seize Malacañang Palace, the entire politburo was arrested mainly through the efforts
of Luis Taruc in 1954 during the incumbency of President Magsaysay dealt the final blow to the movement.
Utterly demoralized and faced with organizational problems, the remaining members either surrendered
or were captured with hardly a fight.
As conditions continued to deteriorate in the countryside, the Pampanga peasantry placed their
hope on a provincemate who was elected to the presidency in 1961. Diosdado Macapagal, who had
experienced poverty and peasant oppression in his native Lubao saw the need for immediate social
amelioration. His Land Reform Code, greatly emasculated provisions of the code was the abolition of the
share of tenancy system which was perceived to be the main cause of agrarian unrest and its replacement
by the agricultural leasehold system.
As the economic contradictions of the traditional landlord-tenant relationship persist, the struggle
for political control in the countryside continues.
RECENT HISTORY
With the advent of martial law in 1972 the Kapampangan were among those who led the
nationwide opposition against the totalitarian rule of then President Ferdinand Marcos. The assassination
of Sen. Benigno Aquino Jr. intensified the campaign for civil disobedience. On February 22, 1986 over
Radio Veritas, Cardinal Sin calls the people to go to EDSA. Two Hundred rebel troops were deployed to
defend two Military Camps. Enrile and Ramos withdrew their support for Ferdinand Marcos.
The People Power Revolution I of February 1986 was probably as close as anyone could get to
experiencing or witnessing a spontaneous social combustion. People suddenly became concern with what
was happening at Camp Aguinaldo and Camp Crame, involved in a direct and personal way, moved by a
personal desire to help. The People Power Revolution was a peaceful but it has deep roots in the soil of
injustice and violence. The dictator fled and Corazon C. Aquino took her oath of office as the first Filipina
President. Those four days in February in 1996 brought out the best in the Filipino for the first time,
millions all over the world witness on TV what Filipinos were all about.
The Impeachment trial of former President Joseph Estrada gave more than we expected a lesson
in political education, erudite arguments and above all discovery that there are Filipinos like Clarissa
Ocampo, Emma Lim, Perfecto Yasay and other courageous ladies in our banking system who have risked
personal safety in order to help our search for the truth. When the Pro-Erap senator-judges belittle as
merely a motion triggered off an outrage that will affect the course of history. The act of obstructing basic
rights of the people was enough to spark indignation that brought thousands to Edsa II the unanticipated
reaction of the people the continuing upswell of crowds the trekked to EDSA and kept vigil the past 3 days
was a vindication. On January20, 2001, Gloria Macapagal Arroyo took her oath as the 14 th President of
the Republic of the Philippines before Chief Justice Davide at EDSA shrine. In EDSA II the military and

years in office.
DIMINUTION OF PAMPANGA TO HER PRESENT SIZE
The province of Pampanga as created in 1571 comprised a vast region which, however, was
reduced from time to time. In 1754 when Bataan was created it was given a narrow strip of Pampanga
territory comprising the towns of Dinalupihan, Hermosa, Orani, Samal, Abucay, Balanga, Pilar nad Orion.
In 1848 by adjudication of Nueva Ecija, Pampanga lost towns of Gapan, Cabiao, San Isidro, San Antonio
and Aliaga, as well as the town of San Miguel and its neighborhood which was given to Bulacan. For the
third time in 1860, Pampango district including the towns of Bamban, Capas, Concepcion, Victoria, Tarlac,
Mabalacat, Porac and Floridablanca was detached and erected into a commercial, politico-militar. The
last four towns, however, were returned to Pampanga in 1873.

II. G EOGRAPH IC LO CATION, LAND AREA & POLITICA L SUBD IVISIO NS

1. Geographic Location
The province lies between coordinates 120°40'E longitude and 15°04'N latitude. Pampanga is located in
the central portion of the Central Luzon where it’s heart-shaped area even earned its moniker of being the
“Heart of Central Luzon”. Pampanga is bounded by five provinces: Tarlac and Nueva Ecija in the north,
Zambales in the west, Bataan in the south, and Bulacan in the east. Its terrain is relatively flat and best suited
for agriculture and with only one (1) district mountain, Mount Arayat.
The City of San Fernando is the capital of the province located at near the geometric center. Its main land
marks include Mt. Arayat in the north that towers over the vast central plains, Porac Mountains that borders
the province from Zambales and Pampanga River that meanders from Nueva Ecija through the low-lying areas
of the Candaba Swamp into Manila Bay.
2. Land Area
The land area of the province is 218,068 hectares. Among its municipalities, Porac has the largest land
mass with 34,312 hectares; Candaba comes in second with 20,870 hectares; third is Lubao with 15,577
hectares while Santo Tomas
Figure 2: Regional Location Map
with an area of 2,129 hectares
is the smallest.
3. Political Subdivision
The legislative district of

the province was divided into
two legislative districts until
1972. It was part of the
representation of Region III
from 1978 to 1984, and from
1984 to 1986 it elected four (4)
assemblymen at large. In
1986, it was redistricted into
four (4) legislative districts.
The province is subdivided into

nineteen (19) municipalities,
one (1) highly urbanized
independent city - Angeles City
and two (2) component cities -
City of San Fernando and
Mabalacat City.

3. SOIL AND LAND CLASSIFICATION

1. Soil
The soils of Pampanga are generally of recent alluvial origin. The whole plain and foothills north and
northwest of San Fernando consist of coarse to very fine sand, and in the south and southeast, silt loam and
clay. Pampanga’s surface soils are composed of 54 percent sand, 21 percent silt, and 25 percent clay. They
are slightly acidic with the exception of the Arayat sandy clay loam which is somewhat alkaline. Also, they are
not sticky and plastic because the magnesium content is very much lower than half of the calcium content.
10 | P a g e
2. Land Classification
Alienable and Disposable (A & D) Lands of the Public Domain are lands which have been delineated,
classified and the certified as such and available and disposition under Public Land Act. 79.16% or 172,616
hectares of the land area of the province is classified as A& D lands.
Forestlands refers are lands of the public domain which have been subjected to land evaluation and
classification and have been legally designated for multiple use as production forest, agroforestry, rangeland
forestland reservations, inland water bodies, protection forest, resettlements and military reservations. The
province has 45,452 hectares (20.84%) belongs to the forest lands. 12,484 hectares is use as forest resources,
6,929 hectares is for established timberland, 3,709 hectares is for national park, 7,452 is use for military and
naval reservation and the remaining 14,878 is use for fishpond.

III. PH YSICAL CHARAC TERISTICS
1. Topography and Slope

-TOPO GRAPH Y
The province is a part of the great plain extending from Manila Bay north of the gulf of Lingayen,
Pangasinan. Most of this area is only a few meters above sea level. Mt. Arayat with a height of 3,200 ft. above
sea level and the elevated strip along the western boundary where a few peak of the Zambales Mountain rise
to height of nearly 1,900 meters constitute the high land. The mountainous areas are near the Pampanga-
Zambales border. These areas are covered by Mountainous Pinatubo Region.
12 | P a g e
-Slope
The general slope of the province is south and southeast towards Manila Bay and Rio Grande. In the
northern part of the province, however, the land slope is going downwards towards Mt. Arayat. Not far from
the base is the Pampanga River which channels floodwaters into the wide Candaba Swamp, then to tributaries,
rivulets, creeks and finally to Manila Bay.
Areas that belong to 0-3% slope (Level to gently sloping) category are most suitable for irrigation because
of their flat terrain. Depending on soil condition, 3% is about the maximum slope of land to be used for
lowland rice production. A total of 167,357.06 hectares or 76.75% of the total land areas are belong to 0-3%
slope category.
6.11% (13,331.13 hectares) is the part of the land with gently sloping to undulating lands (3 – 8%) is
suitable for irrigation but require slight terrain modification in terms of contouring on terracing. Depending
on soil and climate condition in the area, 8% is about the maximum slope for upland crop production that will
require more complex and expensive soil conservation practices.
Irrigation of lowland rice will not be feasible due to terrain restrictions in 8-18% slope category (Moderate
sloping to rolling lands). Intensive soil conservation measures are necessary to keep the soil in place when
cultivated. The province has 12,475.58 hectares or 5.72% belongs to this type of category.
Rolling to moderately steep on 18-30% slope, on these lands cultivated crops cannot be produced
continuously. On extended period of time, tree crops can be grown. A total of 14,116.31 hectares or 6.47%
of the total land areas are belong to 18-30% slope category.
Slope 30 – 50% (Steep) and > 50% (Very steep) category is not suited to any cultivated crops and should
be left as forest cover. 3.07% (6,684.06 hectares) is the part of the land with slope 30-50% while 4,104.11
hectares (1.88%) is categorized as greater than 50% or very steep in nature.

2.SEISMICITY
I. Earthquake Zones/ Faults
a. Earthquake
An Earthquake is a weak to violent shaking of the ground produced by the sudden
movement of rock materials below the earth’s surface. It is caused either by sudden
movement along faults and trenches.
Since 1968, Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS)
recorded twelve destructive earthquakes in the Philippines. This record includes the
infamous July 16, 1990 Luzon earthquake which caused innumerable injuries and at
least 1,100 deaths. Seismicity (geographic and historical distribution of earthquake
events) is all over the country except in the Palawan region. The 16 July 1990
earthquake (MS = 7.8) produced a 125 km-long ground rupture that stretches from
Dingalan, Aurora to Kayapa, Nueva Vlzcaya as a result of strike-slip movements along
the NW segment of the Philippine Fault Zone and its splay, the Digdig Fault. The earthquake epicenter was
placed at 15º 42' N and 121º 7' E near the town of Rizal, Nueva Ecija
The top ten provinces that are at risk to earthquakes are Surigao Del Sur, La Union, Benguet, Pangasinan,
Pampanga, Tarlac, Ifugao, Davao Oriental, Nueva Vizcaya, Nueva Ecija.
TABLE 5: RICHTER MAGNITUDE SCALE AND DESCRIPTION

MAGNITUDE
DESCRIPTION
SCALE
1 Earthquake with M below 1 are only detectable when an ultra sensitive
seismometer is operated under favorable conditions.
2 Most earthquakes with M below 3 are the "hardly perceptible shocks"
and are not felt. They are only recorded by seismographs of nearby
stations.
3 Earthquake with M 3 to 4 are the "very feeble shocks" and only felt near
the epicenter.
4 Earthquakes with M 4 to 5 are the "feeble shocks" where damages are
not usually reported.
5 Earthquakes with M 5 to 6 are the "earthquakes with moderate
strength" and are felt over the wide areas; some of them cause small
local damages near the epicenter.
6 Earthquake with M 6 to 7 are the "strong earthquakes" and are
accompanied by local damages near the epicenters. First class
seismological stations can observe them wherever they occur within the
earth.
7 Earthquake with M 7 to 8 are the "major earthquakes" and can cause
considerable damages near the epicenters. Shallow-seated or near-
surface major earthquakes when they occur under the sea, may
generate tsunamis. First class seismological stations can observe them
wherever they occur within the earth.
8 Earthquake with M 8 to 9 are the "great earthquakes" occurring once or
twice a year. When they occur in land areas, damages affect wide areas.
When they occur under the sea, considerable tsunamis are produced.
Many aftershocks occur in areas approximately 100 to 1,000 kilometers
in diameter.
9 Earthquakes with M over 9 have never occurred since the data based on
the seismographic observations became available.

b. Fault
Faults are fractures in the earth’s surface where rock movement has taken place
and earthquakes produced. The 1,200-km-long Philippine fault zone (PFZ) is a major
tectonic feature that transects the whole Philippine archipelago from northwestern
Luzon to southeastern Mindanao. This arc-parallel, left-lateral strike slip fault is
divided into several segments and has been the source of large-magnitude
earthquakes in recent years, such as the 1973 Ragay Gulf earthquake (M 7.0), 1990
Luzon earthquake (Mw 7.7), and 2003 Masbate earthquake (Ms 6.2). The high seismic
risk posed by this fault zone requires a large-scale active faults map, a fundamental
data set for seismic hazard mitigation.
Active faults found in Nueva Ecija (Dingalan Fault) are mainly high angle slope with
strike-slip movement and are part of the so-called Philippine Fault. Probable active
faults are found in Bulacan, Bataan and Zambales. A long fault extends from northern
portion of Central Luzon cutting across the western side of Tarlac and passing through
the plains of Pampanga and southern portion of Bulacan.
II. Volcano
A volcano is a rupture on the crust of a planetary mass object, such as the
Earth, which allows hot lava, volcanic ash, and gases to escape from a magma
chamber below the surface. Volcanoes are classified as (1) Active volcanoes are
those that erupted within historical times (within the last 600 years) such that,
accounts of these eruptions were documented by man. Volcanoes that are
erupted within geological time (less than or equal to 10,000 years) are also called
active. (2) Potential active volcanoes are morphologically young looking, but
with no historical records of eruption. And (3) Inactive volcano neither has nor recorded eruptions in the last
10,000 years.
Based on PHILVOLCS, Pinatubo is classified as active volcano, exploded on 15 June 1991. Pinatubo lies
between coordinates of 120°21'E longitude and 15°08.4'N latitude. The eruption was the second largest
volcanic eruption of the 20th century. It was a little known volcano and it had been dormant for 400 years.
Pinatubo elevation is 1.445 km (1.745 km. before the eruption) with a base diameter of 40 km. and was only
200 m higher than the nearby peaks, which are remnants of older volcanic edifices of Mt Pinatubo and hid it
from views from distance.
Mt. Negron is identified as potential volcano, lies in the coordinates of 120°20'E longitude and 15°05'N
latitude. It is located in Zambales with nearby cities/town of Angeles and Olongapo.
Mt. Arayat is classified as inactive volcano. It lies between coordinates of 120°44.6'E longitude and
15°12.5'N latitude with an elevation of 1.026 km.

3. CLIMATE
Based on the Modified Coronas Climate Map of the Philippines, the climate of
the province falls under the Type 1, it has two pronounced season, the Dry season
from November to April and Wet season during the rest of the year. Maximum rain
period is from June to September.
I. Rainfall
Rainfall is the most important climatic element in the Philippines. Rainfall distribution
throughout the country varies from one region to another, depending upon the direction
of the moisture-bearing winds and the location of the mountain systems.
The Pampanga River Basin Flood Forecasting & Warning Center (PRBFFWC or
PRFFWC) is the pioneer flood forecasting and warning service in the Philippines and has
been the foremost center in this field since 1973. It is also one of the major frontline
services of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services
Administration (PAGASA) in terms of flood information & warning activities. Other than
mainly providing flood forecasts and warnings to its objective area, which is the Pampanga
River Basin (PRB) and the allied basin system of Pasac-Guagua Rivers, it complements the
agency in terms of its other activities on community-based programs and public
information drives not only within its basin of concern but in other areas around the
country as well.
The province receives an annual average rainfall intensity of 1,833mm and 2,127mm
for the year 2012 and 2013 respectively from the seven (7) rainfall stations in the province. The average
water level for 2012 is 5.36m and 4.94m for 2013 from the five (5) stations with river system. Variations of
average rainfall and water level in these stations are shown in the foregoing table.

II. Temperature
Temperature is a physical property of matter that quantitatively expresses the common notions of hot
and cold. Objects of low temperature are cold, while degrees of higher temperatures are either warm or hot.
Units use in measuring temperatures through a thermometer is either Celsius/Centigrade or Fahrenheit.
According to Clark Weather Station, the hottest month fall in the month of April with an average mean
temperature of 28.6°C (83.3°F) and the coolest months fall in January with a mean temperature of 25.3°C.

III. Typhoons and Storm Surge
1. Typhoons
Tropical cyclones (typhoons) are called bagyo (Filipino). Tropical cyclones entering the Philippine Area of
Responsibility are given a local name by PAGASA, which also raises public storm signal warnings as deemed
necessary. Around 19 tropical cyclones or storms enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility in a typical year
and of these usually 6 to 9 make landfall.
PAGASA have been assigning local storm names for everything from a typhoon to a tropical depression in
the monitored area from 115E to 135E and from 5N to 25N. The names of the Philippine typhoons and tropical
storms are listed in the Philippine Storm Names/PAGASA table below. PAGASA uses a four-year rotation which
uses a list of 25 names every four years which began in 2001 when the bureau used nicknames for typhoons
instead of the clichéd names ending in “ing.”.
The first tropical cyclone of the year starts with the name beginning in letter A as in AURING under column
1 for 2009 and so on down the list as one disturbance succeeds another. The 5th year (2013) will bring us
back to column 1 of AURING. In the event that the number of tropical cyclones within the year exceeds 25,
an auxiliary list is used, the first ten of which are listed under each column.
21 | P a g e
2. Storm Surge
A storm surge is an offshore rise of water associated with a low pressure weather system, typically a
tropical cyclone. High winds push on the ocean’s surface and causes water to pile up higher than the ordinary
sea level. The province has no data recorded for the past occurrences.

4. WATER RESOURCES
Water is an essential element to our everyday existence. Its role is vital in the sustenance of all life forms,
as well as in agricultural, industrial, households, recreational and environmental activities. As population
continues to rise, so does the demand for fresh water too. Water is a major factor shaping the natural
environment. It has a long-term influence on the vegetation, fauna, and shape of the landscape and on various
ecosystems.

1. Surface Waters (River Basins/Rivers)

1.1. River Basin
The major river basins already comprises 36 % of the total land mass of the country. The importance of
river is apparently linked to the growing water demand for domestic requirements, agriculture, commerce,
and industry. It is very clear that the government must focus its interventions within the river basins in order
to ascertain sustainable water supply and sustain food production in highly prioritized agricultural areas while
addressing the adverse impact of flooding due to climate change particularly in highly urbanized populated
areas in the downstream side of the river basins.
23 | P a g e
a) Pampanga River Basin
The 4th largest basin in the Philippines and covers an approximate aggregate
area of 10,540 sq. km. (includes the allied basin of Guagua River). The basin extends
over the southern slopes of the Caraballo Mountains, the western slopes of the
Sierra Madre range and the major portions of the Central Plain of Luzon. It
encompasses the provinces of Nueva Ecija; part of Bulacan, Tarlac and Quezon; and
almost whole of Pampanga.
Adjacent to Mount Arayat, across Pampanga River, just on the eastern side is
the Candaba swamp, covering an area of some 250 sq. km. absorbing most of the
flood flows coming from the eastern sections of the basin (western slopes of a
portion of the Sierra Madre mountain range) and the overflowing of the Pampanga
River via the Cabiao Floodway. This area is submerged during the rainy season but
is relatively dry during summer. At the lower sections of the basin, where the
Pampanga delta lies, the Pampanga River system divide into relatively small
branches, crisscrossed with fishponds to form a network of sluggish, tidal flats and canals, which
eventually find their way to Manila Bay. The main river has a relatively low-gradient channel particularly
at the middle and lower sections. The basin experiences, on an average, at least one flooding in a year.
b) Guagua River Basin
The Guagua River Basin is an allied system of rivers and creeks to the Pampanga River virtually
converging down with the latter close at the outlet into the Manila Bay. The basin drains an approximate
area of 1,371 sq. km. It is bounded on the north partly by the Agno River Basin and on the south by the
Manila Bay, on the east by the Pampanga River Basin, where an earthdike protecting the right bank of the
Pampanga River separates them, and on the westby the Zambales mountain Range. The major river
systems draining the basin are the Pasig-Potrero, Porac-Gumain, Abacan and Pasac-Guagua Rivers. Other
small creeks and secondary rivers that significantly affect the basin are the Sapang-Maragul and Gugu
creeks.
The basin is vulnerable to flooding primarily because of its low elevation and flat terrain, its proximity
to Manila Bay where tides impede the river and creek flow several kilometers upstream, and narrow and
silted waterways brought largely by the eventful Mount Pinatubo eruption (1991). Possible contributory
cause is the reported slow sinking of the delta making the area very vulnerable to instant flooding.
1.2. River
a) Pampanga River
The Pampanga River is located in Central Luzon (north-west of Metropolitan Manila) and passes
through the provinces of Pampanga, Nueva Ecija, Bulacan, Tarlac and Quezon. The river was known as
the Rio Grande de Pampanga and it is the second largest river in Luzon.
b) Abacan River
Abacan River is one of the largest water channels in Pampanga (channeled from Angeles to Mexico).
The river ends into the Pampanga River. The lahars flow follows the riverbed during Mt. Pinatubo’s
eruption.
c) Porac River
The river starts at an elevation of about 1,100 meters and flows to the east with the length of about
15 kilometers passing through barangays Dolores, Cangatba, Poblacion, Jalung and Pio down to
Floridablanca where it merges with Gumain River.
d) Pasig River
The river rises to an elevation of about 1,000 meters along the eastern slope of Mt. Pinatubo and
flows to the east with a length of 10 kilometers and slowly changing its direction 4 kilometers towards the
south from a dissected narrow valley. It traverses barangays Manuali, Manibaug Libutad, Mancatian,
Mitla Proper and San Jose Mitla down to San Fernando and Bacolor. It was on the river that heavy lahar
24 | P a g e
flowed during the Pinatubo eruption which caused severe damage and even eradicated some populous
communities along its pain.
e) Gumain River
Gumain River was covered with vast of sands and lahars during the erupation of Mt. Pinatubo as well.
Before the 1991 eruption, its waters come from Mt. Abu in Zambales, The river serves as a passageway
for Aetas on the way to the lowlands.
f) Caulaman River
Caulaman River is a stream the estimate terrain elevation above seal level is 19 meters.
g) Sacobia River
Sacobia River is one of the main streams in the province. The debris and Lahars from Mt. Pinatubo
1991 eruption follow this river as well. Before this occurrence the native Aetas living along riverside. After
the eruption, everything along the river was devastated. The river bed widens and up to now, the
hardened Lahars are still visible on the Sacobia River bed.
h) Candaba Swamp
Candaba Swamp it is located in the middle of the rice field of Candaba. It is well-known for his sweet
watermelons out of this zone. It is also noted for “tilapia” (a dining fish species). Candaba Swamp got
international attention true the bird migratory known as the “Candaba Swamp”
2. Watershed
Central Luzon has 12 watershed with an area of 252,350 ha. These watersheds bring domestic water to
people in Region III, and to some part of Metro Manila.
3. Ground Waters
Ground water refers to all subsurface water. It is a major source of water for agricultural and industrial
purposes, and is an important source of drinking water for many people around the world. According to the
National Water Resources Council, the estimated potential inflow which can be yielded from the province is
505 mm per year.

Chapter II: Human Resources
A. POPULATION AND SETTLEMENT
A. POPULATION
The population count of Pampanga excludes the count of Angeles City, being a highly urbanized
city as defined in the 1991 Local Government Code, a city is considered highly urbanized if it has an
annual income of not lower than fifty million pesos based on 1991 constant prices, as certified by the
city treasurer, and its population is at least two hundred thousand (200,000) inhabitants, as certified
by NSO.
The population of Pampanga is 2,014,019 persons based on the 2010 Census of Population and
Housing. This figure is higher by 395,260 persons over the population count of 1,618,759 persons in
2000. In population size, the province is ninth (9th) in rank compared to all provinces in the Philippines
and third (3rd) in rank in Region III - Central Luzon.
Among the two (2) cities and nineteen (19) municipalities comprising the province of Pampanga
for both 2000 and 2010 census, the City of San Fernando, the provincial capital, was the most
populous with a population size making up 14.20 percent and 13.74 percent of the total provincial
population. The municipality of Mabalacat was second with 10.71 and 10.59 percent share, followed
by the municipalities of Lubao with 7.49 and 7.78 percent, Mexico with 7.29 and 6.78 percent, and
Arayat with 6.03 and 6.30 percent. The rest of municipalities contributed less than 6.0 percent each.
The least populated area was the municipality of Sasmuan with 1.35 percent share to the total
population of the province for 2010 census and in 2000; the least populated area was Bacolor with
1.00 percent.
B. GROWTH RATE
Growth Rate is the rate at which population is increasing (or decreasing) in a given year due to
natural increase and net migration expressed as a percentage of the base population.
The annual population growth rate (APGR) of the province between census years 1990 – 2000 is
2.25 percent and the APGR between census years of 2000 – 2010 is 2.21 percent. While the average
annual population growth rate of the province is 2.23 percent, if the population of the province will
continue, the population of Pampanga would double in 31 years.
C. DENSITY
The density of the province or the number of persons per square kilometer is 950 in 2010 census.
Out of the eighty (80) provinces of the country, Pampanga is one of the five provinces that reached a
population density of more than 1,000 persons per square kilometer.
D. HOUSEHOLD
The number of households in 2010 was recorded at 416,271, higher by 108,632 households
compared with 307,639 households posted in 2000. The household population under 15 years old is
31.82 percent. Children aged 5 to 9 years (10.83 percent) comprised the largest age group, followed
by age groups 10 to 14 years (10.66 percent) and 0 to 4 years (10.33 percent). Males outnumbered
26 | P a g e
females in the age groups 0 to 54 years and there were more females in the older age groups 55 years
and over.
The average household size in 2010 is 4.83 persons, lower than the average household size of 5.25
persons in 2000. The average household size is decreasing in size per census year.
E. GENDER
In 2010 census, the sex ratio in 2010 census of 102 males for every 100 females with males
accounted for 50.6 percent while females comprised of 49.4 percent. In 2000 census, males
outnumbered their female counterpart with sex ratio of 103 males for every 100 females
F. URBAN-RURAL POPULATION
The proportion of urban population to the total population of the province is 56.51 percent. This
means that of the 2,014,019 population in 2010, 1,138,076 live in areas classified as urban and the
rural population is 875,943 or 43.49% of the total population. In 2007, the level of urbanization of the
province is 51.76 percent. Pampanga’s level of urbanization is higher than the level of urbanization
of the country, which is 42.4 percent in 2007 and 45.3 percent in 2010.
Excluding Angeles City, there are seven (7) municipalities with at least 50 percent of the total
population residing in areas classified as urban in 2007 and 2010 census namely: Apalit, Guagua,
Mabalacat City, Porac, City of San Fernando, San Simon and Sto. Tomas. Angeles City on the other
hand also had a 90 percent of the total population classified as urban based in 2007 and 2010 census.
The urban population in the province increased by an average of 5.22 percent annually during the
period of 2007 to 2010. The tempo of urbanization or the difference in the average annual growth
rate of the urban and rural population is 9.66 percent.
Urban Category – the following are the categories used in classifying the barangays as urban in
2007 and 2010 census.
CATEGORY DESCRIPTION
1 Barangays with population size of 5,000 or more
2 Barangays with at least one establishment with a

minimum of 100 employee As of 2010, there are
3 Barangays with five or more establishments with 10 to 505 barangays in the
99 employees, and five or more facilities within the province excluding
two-kilometer radius from the barangay hall
Angeles City. Of this
numbers, 28.12 percent
or 142 barangays are classified as urban. Majority of the urban barangays are classified under
category 1 with a total of 1,046,864 populations accounting for 91.99 percent. The urban barangays
under category 2 totaled to 60,557 making up 5.32 percent and the remaining urban barangays falls
into category 3 totals of 30,655 or 2.69 percent.
27 | P a g e
Based on the 2010 Census on Population and Housing (CPH) of the National Statistics Office, the total
population of the Philippines as of May 2010 is 92.34 million with an increased rate of 1.90% annually. Central
Luzon (Region III), with 10.14 million populations, ranked third among the regions with largest population size.
The region comprised less than eleven percent of the total population nationwide.

Pampanga had more than 2.01 million population (excluding Angeles City) on the same census year. It
ranked ninth among all the provinces nationwide in terms of population and second among the seven
provinces in Central Luzon. It accounts to almost 20% of the 10.14 million population of the region.
The province’s population density in the 2010 census year is 950, which is twice as high as the regional
average of 472 persons per square kilometer and far higher than the national average of 269 persons per
square kilometer.
Angeles City, with a total population of 336,326, surpassed the provinces in Central Luzon in terms of
population density of 5,415 persons per square kilometer. It is almost equal to the summation of the other
densities in the region and twenty times higher than the national average.
Among the provinces in the region, Bulacan had the largest population with 2.92 million and top the
density rate of 1,046 persons per square kilometer. Nueva Ecija had the second largest with 1.66 million.
Aurora had the lowest population size of 201,233 and the lowest density rate of 64 persons per square
kilometer.
Before Mt. Pinatubo erupted in 1991, Pampanga was the most populous province in Central Luzon. But
in the succeeding census years (2000 and 2010), there were more people counted in Bulacan. For the ten
28 | P a g e
year period (2000-2010), the population of Pampanga grew faster than the regional average although not as
fast as that of Bulacan.
- Population Size, Density and Growth Rates

The province of Pampanga, excluding Angeles City, posted a total population of 2,014,019 persons as of
May 1, 2010. This is larger by 399,077 persons compared to its total population of 1,614,942 persons counted
in the 2000 CPH. The increase in the population count from 2000 to 2010 translated to an average annual
population growth rate (PGR) of 2.23 percent. This is slightly higher than the 2.22 percent annual PGR of the
province between the census years 1990 and 2000.
Between census years 1990, 2000 and 2010, the population density of the neighboring municipalities and
cities around Clark Special Economic and Freeport Zone increased, although Angeles City continue to have the
highest population density followed by the City of San Fernando and Mabalacat City.
The municipality of Bacolor registered a remarkable decrease in population between 1990 and 2000 due
to the resettlement of whole barangays affected by lahar flows from Mt. Pinatubo’s slopes. However, its
population almost doubled in 2010 so it registered a growth rate of almost 7% and density of 439 persons per
square kilometers from 225 in 2000.
Although the municipality of Guagua exhibits a high population density, its growth rate is lower compared to
the other municipalities. Between 2000 and 2010, it registered the second lowest growth rate. Among LGU’s,
Angeles City, City of San Fernando and Mabalacat continue to have the most number of people. These three
combine for more than one third of Pampanga’s population. The municipalities along the banks of Pampanga
River account for the least shares in provincial population individually.

The municipalities along the banks of Pampanga River account for the least shares in provincial population
individually. This may be attributed to the regular recurrence of flooding especially in the Pampanga Delta
area.
The least populated area was the municipality of Sasmuan (Sexmoan) with almost 1.4 percent share to
the total population of the province.
If the average annual PGR recorded at 2.23 percent during the period 2000 to 2010 continues, the
population of Pampanga would double in 31 years. By the end of plan period 2014-2020, the province will
have an additional population of 497,695 with an estimated population density of 1,141 persons per square
kilometer.

Based on growth and density characteristics, municipalities are classified into the following criteria, such
as
a. High Density and Fast-Growing Settlement: City of San Fernando, Angeles City, Mabalacat City, Apalit,
Minalin, Mexico, Magalang and Floridablanca
These eight (8) city/municipalities have population densities greater than five hundred (500) persons
per square kilometer and population growth rates higher than the provincial average rate of 2.21 percent
in 2000-2010
b. Low Density and Fast-Growing Settlement: Candaba, Bacolor and Porac
These three (3) municipalities are bordering the urban centers of the province. Candaba rapid growth
is attributed to growth in the area of agriculture, and Porac due to its richness mineral resources such as
sand and gravel
c. High Density and Slow-Growing Settlement: Santo Tomas, Guagua, Macabebe, Santa Rita, Santa Ana,
Lubao, Arayat, San Luis and San Simon
30 | P a g e
These nine (9) municipalities showed a slowing down of growth, but are high in population density.
d. Low Density and Slow-Growing Settlement: Masantol and Sasmuan
With their population density of less than five hundred per square kilometer, these two municipalities
also have a population growth below provincial average of 0.86% and 0.80% respectively.

G. Ethnic Characteristics
Kapampangan is Pampanga’s native tongue and is also one of the major languages in the Philippines. It is
understood in almost all of Central Luzon’s provinces.
36 | P a g e
The original language of Pampanga is now distinct. It is a member of the Malayo-Polynesian branch of the
Austronesian language family. This influence came from the early settlers called Negrito, Ayta, Aeta, or Atis
which were probably related to the aboriginals of New Guinea and Australia. Kapampagan is also known as
Pampango, Capampangan, Pampangueño or Amanung Sisuan (the mother language).
The Philippines have been under Spanish power from 1521 until 1898 A.D. and this has caused
Kapampangan to introduce a large number of words from Spanish, like the days of the week, the days of the
months, a lot of religious words, and words from cooking.

K. Existing Settlement Pattern
More than 26% of the province’s total population reside in Angeles City and City of San Fernando. The
high population densities of the cities show sign of preference for settlement. The presence of economic
opportunities, basic services and developed infrastructures are some of the factors of population movement
in these areas.
The existing settlement pattern of the province is described following the criteria on the hierarchy of
settlement based on the population size.
Figure 7:
Urban Centers
With population of more than 300,000, Angeles City (326,336) is the largest urban center. Following
closely is the regional center of the province, City of San Fernando it’s a population of 285,912. These urban
centers are the providers of the highest level of services within the province.
Large Towns
With population sizes of over 100,000: Mabalacat City (215,610), Lubao (150, 843), Mexico
(146,851), Arayat (121,348), Porac (111,441), Guagua (111,199), Floridablanca (110,846), Magalang (103,597),
Candaba (102,399) and Apalit (101,537) are classified as large towns.
Medium Towns
With population sizes of over 50,000: Macabebe (70,777), Masantol (52,407), Sta. Ana (52,001) are
classified as medium towns.
Small Towns
With population sizes of below 50,000: San Luis (49,311), San Simon (48,353), Minalin (44,001), Sta.
Rita (38,762), Sto. Tomas (38,062), Bacolor (31,508) and Sasmuan (27,254) are classified as small towns.

SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROFILE 2014 / CHAPTER 7: INFRASTRUCTURES
CHAPTER III: NATURAL RESOURCES
1 . SO IL CH ARACTERISTICS
The soils of Pampanga are generally of recent alluvial origin. The whole plain and foothills north and
northwest of San Fernando consist of coarse to very fine sand, and in the south and southeast, silt loam and
clay.
Pampanga’s surface soils are composed of 54 percent sand, 21 percent silt, and 25 percent clay. They are
slightly acidic with the exception of the Arayat sandy clay loam which is somewhat alkaline. Also, they are not
sticky and plastic because the magnesium content is very much lower than half of the calcium content.
2 . INLAND WATERS (RIV ERS/RIV ER BASINS)
The basin extends over the southern slopes of the Caraballo Mountains, the western slopes of the Sierra
Madre range and the major portions of the Central Plain of Luzon. It encompasses the provinces of Nueva
Ecija; part of Bulacan, Tarlac and Quezon; and almost whole of Pampanga. The total length of the main river,
the Pampanga River, is about 260 kilometers.
Adjacent to Mount Arayat, across Pampanga River, just on the eastern side is the Candaba swamp,
covering an area of some 250 sq. km. absorbing most of the flood flows coming from the eastern sections of
the basin (western slopes of a portion of the Sierra Madre mountain range) and the overflowing of the
Pampanga River via the Cabiao Floodway. This area is submerged during the rainy season but is relatively dry
during summer. At the lower sections of the basin, where the Pampanga delta lies, the Pampanga River
system divide into relatively small branches, crisscrossed with fishponds to form a network of sluggish, tidal
flats and canals, which eventually find their way to Manila Bay. The main river has a relatively low-gradient
channel particularly at the middle and lower sections.
Other rivers are the Abacan, Porac, Gumain and Caulaman Rivers. These major streams drain the
southwestern central plains of the region originating from the mountainous regions of Zambales near the
western boundary of the province and flow southeasterly towards Manila Bay. It is also through these rivers
that lahar from Mt. Pinatubo heavily flows burying low-lying areas in the province.
3 . GRO UND WATERS
The groundwater is the primary source of potable water supply in the province. According to the National
Water Resources Council, the estimated potential inflow which can be yielded from the province is 505 mm
per year.

SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROFILE 2014 / CHAPTER 7: INFRASTRUCTURES
4. Mineral Resources
Pampanga province was observed to have metallic deposits of gold, silver and copper and non-
metallic deposits of clay, sand and gravel.
1. Metallic Minerals
Gold and silver were explored, extracted and developed from the porphyritic quartz bearing
andesite in Sitio La Kalyusan, Pabanlag, Floridablanca.
Copper was also explored in Pio and Planas, Porac. This metallic element is important as coenzyme
needed to activate several plant enzymes. It is used in fertilizer manufacture and is effective when applied
to neutral or acidic soils.
2. Non-metallic Minerals
Deposits of red-burning clays were seen in San Luis, Candaba and vicinity. Other clay deposits are
also present in Sta. Ana and its surrounding areas. The indication of clay is the presence of manganese
traces mixed with pyrolytic form of iron oxide. Very plastic brown clay deposit was also observed in San
Fernando, San Matias, Mexico and in the municipality of Bacolor.

In terms of aquatic production, the province of Pampanga had the highest produce of 155,755 metric tons
in 2012, which was accounted for the 60% share to its total regional production. It is a major producer of
various aquatic products but family incomes are low due to: (1) absence of alternative value adding activities
to fresh fish harvested; (2) absence of cold storage; (3) inadequacy of fish logistics handling e.g. ports; and (4)
Pampanga is falling behind in terms of coastal resources management & assistance to fisheries sector.
The province has 32,638 hectares of fishponds – 77% of which are brackish (found in Sasmuan, Lubao,
Guagua, Macabebe, Minalin, Masantol, Sto. Tomas - producing tilapia, bangus, sugpo, alimango), while 21%
are freshwater (in Candaba, San Luis, Guagua, Sta. Ana, Minalin, Magalang, Macabebe, Sta. Rita, Lubao,
Mexico -- producing tilapia, ulang, wild hito, dalag).

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is an industry where Filipinos have competitive
advantage over our neighbors in the Asian region. The Philippines is now the world leader in terms of jobs for
shared services and Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) services. Pampanga is fast becoming one of the
IT/BPO outsourcing destinations. With the higher level of commitments of the stakeholders in the industry,
human resource development programs were implemented to prepare the manpower needs of the industry.
Pampanga has the potentials to fully benefit from an ICT-driven world. Contact/call center, medical
transcription, software development, shared financial and accounting animation services are the identified
niches in the ICT industry.

3. Heritage, Churches and Shrine
Holy Rosary Parish Church is the most distinctive landmark of Angeles

City today upon seeing the twin towers of the church. The church is a
living monument. It is not only to the engineering and architectural
skills of a certain Don Antonio de la Camara from Manila, a great
admirer and exponent of the Byzantine art, but also the unselfish and
untiring cooperation of the townspeople of Angeles during the church’s
construction.
Metropolitan Cathedral of San Fernando is the seat of the Archbishop

and the mother church of the Archdiocese of San Fernando. The round
majestic dome rising from the rotunda of the transept is reminiscent of
the baroque style with some renaissance touch. The church and the
convent were burned by the Philippine Revolutionary Army and destroy
again by fire in 1939. In 1948, the church was restored by Pampango
Architect Fernando H. Ocampo. The looming structure of white, beige,
gray and maroon may look ancient, but both exterior and interior are
relatively new, really neo-Art Nouveau with faux columns.
Sta. Monica Parish Church commonly known as the Minalin Church is

a Baroque (heritage) church. It is a Spanish-era church declared a
National Cultural Treasure by the National Museum of the Philippine
and the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA). The
titular is Sta. Monica, whose Feast Day is May 4
San Agustin Parish Church (Lubao) was built in 1572 in barrio Santa
Catalina, Lubao by Fr. Juan Gallegos and due to annual floods in the

was occupied by the Philippine revolutionary forces in 1898. In 1899,
it was used also as a hospital by American soldiers.
St. Aloysius Gonzaga Church (San Luis) is located in a place that used
to be called Cabagsac, referring to the proliferation of fruit bats.
Today, a fishnet is permanently installed high above the altar precisely
to catch thousands of bats that are roosting inside the church. The
main attraction is the three-tower facade, perhaps one of its kinds in
the country.

Guillermo, the patron saint of Bacolor, Pampanga, the Philippines,

Hospital in Guagua. There are also at least 37 private hospitals and clinics operating in the province.
91 | P a g e
The fifty-three (53) government and private hospitals have total bed capacity of 2,412 with a bed to
population ratio of 1:924 as against to the standard ratio of 1:1,000 proportion. The bed occupancy rate of
each district hospital exceeds the desired standard of 80%. Eight (8) of the district hospitals maintain a 25
bed capacity but there are plans of upgrading them into 50 bed capacity, while the other two (2) district
hospitals maintain 50 bed capacity and one (1) which serves as the provincial hospital occupies 100 bed
capacity .
All district hospitals run by the province are licensed to operate as Level 2 health facilities. Eight (8) private
hospitals and clinics are categorized by the CHD-3 License Division as Level 1 while 27 hospitals are Level 2
and 11 hospitals are Level 3. There are three (3) hospitals in the province operating as Level 4. These are Jose
B. Lingad Memorial General Hospital, Our Lady of Mount Carmel Medical Center and the Angeles City
University Foundation.
The province has a total of 42 Rural Health Physicians, 59 public health nurses, 22 dentists, 238 rural health
midwives, 29 medical technologists, 32 sanitary inspectors and 2,777 barangay health workers providing
primary health care services.
Based from the latest ratios of public health workers to population as reported by the Provincial Health
Office-Pampanga, the ratio of doctors against population is 1:36,075 which do not meet the standard of
1:20,000. Same with the ratios on the number of nurses, dentists, midwives, medical technologists, sanitary
inspectors and barangay health workers, they don’t meet the standard numbers against the population. This
means that we should hire more health workers to meet the standards.
The 11 district hospitals and one (1) Provincial Hospital has a total of 91 full-time physicians, 12 dentists,
335 nurses, 36 midwives, 36 medical technologists, 38 pharmacists, 11 nutritionists and 12 medical social

There are 41 rural health units (RHUs), 452 barangay health stations and seven (7) birthing stations which
render health services in the entire province. There is a need to improve the physical facilities of the following
RHUs to qualify for TB DOTS accreditation namely: Mexico II, Mexico III, Mabalacat I , Masantol II and Sta. Ana
I. Two (2) of the existing birthing stations also require some minor renovations. These are located in Apalit

and Sto. Tomas. None of the birthing stations are accredited by PHILHEALTH for Maternal Care Packages
(MCP). The facilities of some Social Hygiene Clinics in Angeles City and San Fernando have to be upgraded.
Moreover, 20 Rural Health Units (RHUs) and 139 Barangay Health Stations (BHS) necessitate facility
improvement ranging from minor to major repairs.

Mortality is the term used for the number of people who died within a period. The primary causes
of deaths are life-style related diseases which are cardiovascular diseases and followed by all forms
of cancer. In 2013, there are 2,031 individuals who died caused by cardiac diseases, which is the
leading cause of mortality or at the rate of 110.36 per 100,000 populations. Second leading cause of
mortality was all forms of cancer with total deaths of 842 individuals or 45.75 per 100,000 populations.
These diseases can be attributed to cultural and environmental factors. The traditional dietary
habits and bubbly lifestyle of Kapampangans may have played a major role in the rising cases of
cancer, diabetes, chronic respiratory and heart diseases.
In recent years, the province was suffering from double burden of diseases. While deaths from
transmittable diseases such as tuberculosis had not dramatically gone down yet, lifestyle- related
diseases began to overtake communicable diseases as the leading causes of mortality.
Respiratory Distress Syndrome was reported as the first leading cause of mortality among infants
from 2009-2013. It is a breathing disorder of new born babies. In 2013, there were 44 cases of death
or a rate of 17.06 % per 1,000 live births cause by Respiratory Distress Syndrome and second (2nd)
by Pneumonia with 18 cases or a rate of 2.89%per 1,000 live births. Other causes of infant mortality
include cardiac diseases, sepsis, asphyxia, meningitis, dehydration, accident, gastrointestinal
disorders and asthma.

F. INFRASTRUCTURE
1. TRANSPORTATION
A. Roads and Bridges
The province of Pampanga is strategically located at the crossroads of central Luzon and is highly
accessible by both air and land. The extensive road network spans 2,436 km. Most are barangay roads (65%),
with national roads comprising 12 percent of the total, provincial roads comprising 13 percent, and municipal
roads making up the remaining 10 percent. Half of the national roads are concrete, 38 percent are asphalt,
and 12 percent are unpaved.
In terms of road density, the province has 2.61 kilometer of road per square kilometer of land area.
- External Linkages
Manila North Road (MNR), which is still called by its old name MacArthur
Highway, is a primary trunk road traversing the provinces of Bulacan,
Pampanga and Tarlac. It serves as a major transport linkage between the
National Capital Region (NCR) and the northwest (Ilocos) and
northcentral (Cordillera) regions of Luzon. The highway parallels
the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX/R-8) from Epifanio de los Santos
Avenue (EDSA/C-4) to Mabalacat City, Pampanga and the Subic–Clark–
Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX/R-8 Extension) from Mabalacat City, Pampanga to Tarlac City. Two of the more
critical bridges along MNR are located in Pampanga: the Apalit Bridge in the highway boundary Bulacan and
Pampanga and the Abacan Bridge in Angeles City.
North Luzon Expressway (NLEx), which is formerly called the North

Diversion Road and Manila North Expressway (MNEX), and officially
known as Radial Road 8 is a 2 to 8-lane limited-access toll expressway
that connects Metro Manila to the provinces of the Central Luzon.
The expressway begins in Quezon City at a cloverleaf
interchange with EDSA: a continuation of Andres Bonifacio Avenue.
It then passes through Quezon City, Caloocan,
and Valenzuela in Metro Manila, Meycauayan, Marilao, Bocaue,
Balagtas, Guiguinto, Malolos, Plaridel, and Pulilan in Bulacan. San
Simon, San Fernando, Mexico and Angeles City. The expressway currently ends at Mabalacat and merges with
the MacArthur Highway, which continues northward into the rest of Central and Northern Luzon. The
expressway significantly reduces travel times to and from the region and Metro Manila.
The rehabilitated North Luzon Expressway has contributed to the economic development of the province
and the whole of Central and Northern Luzon. The presence of the new shopping malls, tourist sites and
entertainment complexes near toll junctions in and near the Clark Special Economic Zone and the cities of
Angeles and San Fernando had increased the employment opportunities, promoted tourism and private
sector investment in Pampanga.
104 | P a g e
Subic – Clark - Tarlac Expressway (SCTEx). The 94-kilometer four-

lane Subic – Clark - Tarlac Expressway (SCTEx), is the longest toll
expressway in the Philippines. Its southern terminus is located at the
Subic Bay Freeport Zone in Zambales, and passes through the North
Luzon Expressway (NLEx) interchange near the Clark Special Economic
Zone in Angeles City. Its northern terminus is located at the Central
Techno Park in Tarlac City, Tarlac. The four-lane divided highway is
divided into two major sections. The first section, the Subic-Clark
section is 50.5 kilometers long; the Clark-Tarlac section measures 43.27 kilometers long.
The SCTEX links three major business centers: the Subic Freeport Zone, the Clark Freeport and Special
Economic Zone, and the Centro Techno Park in Tarlac. Formerly military bases of the US, Subic and Clark have
emerged as major business hubs in Northern Luzon.
Since its construction, the SCTEX has become the backbone of the Central Luzon logistics hub, bringing
Subic and Clark closer to each other and these two territories closer to the rest of Northern Luzon. Travel
time from Clark to Subic has been reduced to 40 minutes while travel time from Clark to Tarlac has been
reduced to 25 minutes. The reduced travel time has benefitted tourism and business activities in Clark,
especially at Clark International Airport.
Jose Abad Santos Avenue (JASA). Formerly known as Gapan-San

Fernando-Olongapo (GSO Road), JASA is a major lateral road
connecting PJH junction in Gapan and MNR junction in the City of
San Fernando and goes westward towards Olongapo City.
The JASA stretches across four provinces in Central Luzon. The

road starts from the City of Gapan in Nueva Ecija and passes through
the towns of Pampanga in Sta. Ana, Arayat, and Mexico, and crossing
the NLEX and MacArthur Highway along the City of San Fernando. Then the road heads west through Bacolor,
Sta. Rita, Guagua, and Lubao. It exits Pampanga from Lubao and to Bataan via Dinalupihan, and finally to
Olongapo City in Zambales. It used to be the only main route towards Bataan and Zambales from the North-
South corridor defined by NLEX and SCTEX prior to the construction of the latter. So now it also serves as an
alternate route when travelling between Pampanga and Zambales.
There are two flyovers along the San Fernando section of JASA, namely: San Fernando Flyover (at the
intersection of MacArthur Highway or Manila North Road and JASA) and the Lazatin Flyover (at the
intersection of Lazatin Avenue and JASA).
105 | P a g e
In 2003, the San Fernando Flyover was constructed under the

President’s Bridge Program after Mabey Johnson consultants started its
studies and coordination efforts with concerned stakeholders regarding
traffic volume, effectiveness of on-going road widening activities, and
re-evaluation of the geometric design of the intersection based on
present condition.
The Lazatin Flyover was constructed in 2012 under the Mega Bridges
for Urban and Rural Development Project (MBURDP). The flyover is a
modular steel type flyover has a total length of 195.00 linear meters and
with total approach length of 120.00 meters. It was built in anticipation
of the increase in population, improving business climate and
productivity in the areas served by the said flyover.
The completion of the flyovers contribute in increasing the existing

road capacity that will ease the traffic congestion along Lazatin Avenue
and Jose Abad Santos Avenue intersection and McArthur intersection thereby providing thorough traffic from
Manila to Zambales, Bataan and vice versa. The economy in this area and neighboring provinces as well as
their tourism potential are projected to improve as a result since travel time is slashed by at least an hour.
The Angeles-Porac-Dinalupihan Road is the route that shortens the distance from Angeles City to
Dinalupihan by about 13 kilometers bypassing the busy Angeles-San Fernando-Lubao corridor.
- Internal Circulation, Routes and Facilities
The province’s total road network is 2,436.12 kilometers; total length of national roads is 293.609
kilometers or 12.05% of the total road network, provincial roads are 320.871 kilometers or 13.17%;
municipal roads are 233.34 kilometers or 9.58% and barangay roads constitute of 1,558.340 kilometers of
65.20%.
Pampanga’s road density is 2.61 kilometers per square kilometer (excluding barangay roads). Bridges
along national road totaled to One Hundred Thirteen (113) units and being maintained by DPWH.

Impoundment Management Projects (SWIMPs) are nine and being managed by the Department of
Agriculture.
H. Flood Control and Drainage

The flood control facilities in the province are earthdikes, revetments levees, and drainage mains.
The Arayat-Apalit-Masantol Setback Levee has the longest length of 40 kilometers. The levees
protect the right bank of Pampanga River against flood, and more serious flood overflow tends to
rush on the left bank area where Candaba (covering the Candaba Swamp), San Luis and San Simon
are located. Moreover, the other river dikes/levees aim mainly at preventing river bank erosion
and/or fixing the river alignment and hardly contribute to the increment of river channel flow
capacity. As a result, most of the downstream and midstream sections of Pampanga River have small
channel flow capacities, which could not cope with even the probable flood runoff discharge of 5-
year return period.
The Pampanga Delta Development Project was launched in 1982 and Phase I was implemented
in 1992 to 2002, in order to increase such small channel flow capacity. The target river channel
improvement length was 14.2 km. while the completed length was only 13.9 km. due to budgetary
constraint and difficulty of land acquisition.
Sediment prevention works had been installed in the eastern area of Mt. Pinatubo in the 1990s
and 2000s to cope with the large volume of sediment runoff caused by the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo.
Among others, the major projects for sediment prevention and management are: a) the Pinatubo
Hazard Urgent Mitigation Project (PHUMP), Phase I for Sacobia-Bamban River (a tributary of
Pampanga River); b) the Construction of Mega Dike and Transverse Dike for Pasig-Potrero (a tributary
of Pasac River); and c) the PHUMP Phase II for Pasig-Potrero River and San Fernando River.

1. BRIEF HISTORY OF ANGELES CITY
Culiat, as Angeles was known in the early time was a barrio of San Fernando for 33 years and became a
town of Pampanga after that for 135 years.
It was in 1796, when the captain (municipal mayor) of San Fernando, Don Angel Panteleon de Miranda,
together with his wife, Dona Rosalia de Jesus, and some of his followers proceeded north of San Fernando
and made the first clearing of a thickly forested area which became a new resettlement, a barrio of San
Fernando known as “Culiat” (named after the culiat vines which were abundant in the place at that time).
Don Angel, who aside from serving as a municipal mayor of San Fernando was at the same time serving
as Captain at the Manila Hussars Squadron of Pampanga, built his residence with light materials on the
northwest corner of the intersection of Sapang Balen Creek and Roman Catholic Church as the first cemetery
or the “Campo Santong Matua” now the exact site of Nepo Coliseum. Barrio Culiat was already a town except
in name in 1812 with the establishment of new barrios which are Sto. Rosario (as the Poblacion or town
proper), Cutcut, Pampang and Pulung Anunas. It was not until 1829 however that Culiat was officially
recognized as a town and was given the name Angeles in honor of the Christian name of the founder and the
guardian Angels, the latter being the titular Patrons. Don Angel, on February 11, 1829, filed a petition in his
own handwriting for the segregation of Culiat from San Fernando, followed by another petition in 1829 jointly
signed by Don Angel, his son-in –law Dr. Mariano Henson, LLD. And the latter’s father Severino Henson. On
December 8 of teat year, Don Angel succeeded in segregating Culiat from San Fernando, after paying in his
own purse the balance of the stipend. Barely 160 taxpayers living in 151 houses in the town could afford to
meet the amount levied on 500 taxpayers as required by the law. Much of the credit for grating of the petition,
however, must be conferred upon the founder’s son-in-law, Dr. Mariano Henson, who actually handled the
negotiations for the separation of Culiat from San Fernando until it was finally sanctioned by then “Alcalde
Mayor Juez” (Provincial Governor), El Senor Teniente Coronel Commandante Militar Don Antonio Chacon y
Conde.
133 | P a g e
Culiat as a town of Angeles was officially inaugurated on December 8, 1829. Three more barrios were
established in this year, San Nicolas, San Jose and Amsic. The total population of Angeles was 661 with 151
houses. The Area at that time (December 17, 1828) was 669 quinones of about 8,865 hectares.
It was on August 26, 1896 that the first news that the Katipuneros under Andres Bonifacio, who made the
first cry of Balintawak, had risen against the Spanish rule. Four days later, Angeles residents saw for the first
time a great number of Guardias Civiles, numbering about one thousand men (of Infanty Regimen No. 73),
arrived in Angeles bound for San Isidro (then capital of Nueva Ecija) where the provincial government was
besieged by Katipuneros under General Mariano Llanera.
On May 7, of that year, General Aguinaldo moved the seat of his government from Nueva Ecija to Angeles.
A field mass was held in his honor. On June 12, 1899, the first anniversary celebration of the Philippines
Independence Day, which was held in Angeles was highlighted with a parade, Aguinaldo viewed the parade
led by the youngest Filipino general, Gen. Pio del Pilar and Manuel Tinio from the Pamintuan Place at that
time. By July 1899, American forces occupied the town.
The town of Angeles was occupied by Japanese forces up to January 1945. During the occupation the
military commander of Angeles was Col. Tatzuko Suzuki, a native of Tokyo. He commanded the Suzuki Butai
(Regiment). In August of 1944, the Japanese constructed five airfields in Angeles and consequently the town
became populated with thousands of additional Japanese military pilots and airfield technicians. On
September 21, 1944, American carrier planes attacked and bombed Clark Field and Angeles at about 9:00 a.m.
the U.S. air raids became almost daily until finally on the last week of January 1945 American forces entered
Angeles thereby liberating it from the Japanese. During this time many of the big houses and public buildings
were occupied by US forces. Several thousand more American soldiers lived around Angeles living in canvass
tents. Many Angelenos, professionals and otherwise, including teenagers found lucrative employment with
the Americans. One dark night of July 1948, at around 9:30 p.m., a large band of huks attacked Angeles from
two directions. One force was able to pin down the soldiers of the 77 th Co. of the P.C. then occupying an old
building in front of the Holy Angel College. A large Huk force entered the town from barrioTibagin and marched
into the market place. They ransacked the market stalls and tool all the supplies and food stuffs they needed.
No one was killed though. The 500 strong Huk force that invaded Angeles was ably commanded by a
commander “SOL”.
By October of 1902 the United States Army in Angeles left the Church convent and moved to Talimundu
(now Lourdes Sur) near the Angeles Railroad Station. On the later part of the following year they again moved
further north to a place called Manga and Sapang Bato which was later named Camp Stotsenberg. In 1919 the
first military airplanes flew over Angeles for the first time. The airplanes were DH-4’s and Angelenos were very
much startled to see them. They were taking-off from a new airfield constructed beside Fort Stotsenberg
called Clarkfield.
134 | P a g e
On December 8, 1941 at about 12:30 p.m. Japanese was planes attacked and bombed Clarkfield and Angeles.
Almost all of the American war planes in the base were destroyed. War historians consider the Japanese aerial
bombing of Clarkfield as the most successful air raid in WW II. On the early morning of January 1, 1942, the
first Japanese troops entered the town of Angeles.
Angeles was formally inaugurated as a city on January 1, 1964 and thus became the youngest city in the
Philippines and Mayor Del Rosario gained the distinction of being the City Mayor of Angeles.
2. BRIEF HISTORY OF APALIT

Soon after the Spanish conquistador Miguel Lopez de Legaspi occupied Manila in 1571, they learned that
north of Manila Bay, along the bank of a great river lived a brave people called Pampangans. With an army,
Martin de Goiti was dispatched by Legaspi to effect the submission of the region. Hardly had the conquest of
Pampanga been completed when this region was formally created into a province. About that time, the
Spaniards were looking for a native cannon maker, whose cannons, called lantaka, were found to be of
superior quality. Pira better known as Panday Pira, the cannon maker, was finally found in Calapangan of this
town among his relatives where he established a small blacksmith and foundry shop to evade the Spaniards
in Manila.
The nucleus of this town was four encomiendas, namely Capalangan, Apali or Pale, La Castilla and
Cabambangan. After the boundaries of the town were delineated, the authorities appointed Juan Cudia as the
first head called Capitan del Pueblo. The encomienda La Castilla was made the poblacion and renamed San
Juan After the patron name-sake of the first Capitan.
The parochial church and the then convent of Apalit were built in the years 1629-1630. The church in
baroque is at present the source of pride among its people. This town today is likewise famous for its colorful
fluvial parade in honor of St. Peter its town patron Saint. This tradition started in 1844.
When the time for the Filipinos to rise up in arm against Spain came, the people of this town were cot
found wanting. The local revolutionaries fought the Spanish forces, known as the “casadores”, who were
stationed in the tribunal at the town plaza in an all night pitch battle. Wounded in the encounter were Tomas
Torres and Simon Mananquil. In the morning the casadores escaped towards Macabebe where again a battle
was fought along railroad tracks. The local rebels likewise came to the assistance of their comrade-in-arms at
Sto. Tomas to fight the main bulk of the Spanish troops from th north under Gen. Monet who likewise were
retreating to Macabebe by way of Santo Tomas and Minalin.
In the ensuring battle against the American invaders, The Apalit troops fought under the command of
both Gen. Antonio Luna and Gen. Tomas Mascardo from as far south as Malolos to Porac in the west. Among
those prominently mentioned were their officers Capt. Luis Mamangun, Capt. Macario Catacutan and Lt.
Francisco Punzalan. Among those served the colors were Roman Pangan, Manuel Catacutan, Benigno Uyan,
Damaso Silvestre, Teodoro Lugue, Victoriano Danting, Antonio Danganan, Benigno Sese, Donato Vergara,
135 | P a g e
Evaristo Catu, Francisco Buan, Macario Macatuno and Tomas Torres to mention a few. The last captain under
the Spanish rule was Luis Espiritu. Casimiro Medina and later Cayetano Dalusung were the heads during the
struggle. The latter’s home served as “cuartel” for the local rebels.
The American interlude in the Philippines was interrupted by the invasion of the Japanese Imperial Army.
The first Japanese troops came to this town once more on a boat in the afternoon of January 2, 1942. Like
their forbers, the people of this town once more joined the fight against the invaders. The war widows and
the orphans who never saw their fathers are a mute testimony of the ravages of war inflicted on these people.
The survivors of that war are still among us to relive war experience. Perhaps the most outstanding
contribution of this town in the war was Col. Ricardo C. Galang. He established an espionage network in Luzon
from the time he slipped in to the island by submarine off coast of Mindoro during the early part of the
Japanese occupation.
3. BRIEF HISTORY OF ARAYAT

When one speaks of Arayat, the town, one invariably has in mind a clear, blue mountain, its 3,030 meters
height (other authorities place the figure at 3,090 meters) dominating the Central Plains of Luzon. For the
mountain, visible for up to fifty kilometers away, is its most arresting physical feature. Although called Mount
Arayat, half of it actually belongs to another town, Magalang. Some sources say it must be from one to two
million years old.
Some people believe that the mountain is enchanted. As legends die hard, they still think the giant
Sinukuan and his three lovely daughters inhabit it. However, unlike in olden times when they were sometimes
“seen” in the town plaza on market days, the enchanted mountain inhabitants have supposedly kept to
themselves in the deeper forests.
The town of Arayat lies in the northern tip of Pampanga, and is bounded on the northwest by Magalang,
on the northeast by Cabiao (in Nueva Ecija), on East by Candaba, on the south by Sta. Ana, and on the west
by Mexico. Its total land area is 12,173 hectares, a less than one fourth of which is forested.
Historians have different version of the origin of the name “Arayat”. One source state that it was named
after a Spanish encomiendero, Fernando de Arayat, who managed it and who possibly, came from a village in
Spain called Arayat.
At that time it was an extensive encomienda consisting of the town as we know it now, and parts of
Magalang, Sta. Ana, Candaba, San Miguel de Mayuno (in Bulacan) and Cabiao folk eventually corrupted the
word to “Daya”.
Another says that the original vernacular name was in fact from Dayat from the word “Dayatan”, which
means irrigated rice land, seed-bed.
136 | P a g e
Another mountain that it was earlier known as “Alaya” meaning east. Mount Arayat was then called
“Bunduc Alaya” or “eastern mountain”. The same sorce implies that Spaniards thereafter coined the word
“Arayat”.
A contemporary historical researcher ventures that Mount Arayat is the biblical Mount Ararat where
Noah’s Ark supposedly landed. The town got its name from the mountain of course. But the same researcher
does not say how the present name evolved nor does explain how come there is another Mount Ararat in the
Middle East.
In the early 1950’s Arayat gained notoriety for being the hotbed of Hukbalahap (dissident) movement,
Mount Arayat was often the scene of many military operations.
The town enjoyed national prominence in the middle 1930’s when President Manuel L. Quezon decided
to build a house there. The story goes that he went to visit with his medical officer Dr. Emigdio Cruz, a native
of Arayat, he came to like the peace and quiet and the cool breeze. He promptly bought farms which he later
named Caledian and Suklayin, after his properties in native Tayabas which bore the same names. During
summer he brought other government officials and foreign visitors to Arayat.
Eventually, he had several improvements done in the rown. He was responsible for the concreting of
roads, building linking Arayat with Cabiao, as well as the development of recreational facilities at the base of
Mt. Arayat, with the construction of a swimming pool, dressing, quarters and a nursery. The project was
discontinued when World War II broke out, but resume afterwards under the supervision of local officials and
Civic-spirited citizens. It now bears the name Mount Arayat National Park. So peaceful was the town that
Quezon and his family used to hear mass at St. Catherine’s Parish Church without any security detail.
The exact date of the founding of the town cannot be ascertained. However, between 1335 and 1380,
historical accounts show that Arayat was among the few Pampanga towns already existing. It was purportedly
founded by either Prince Balagtas, a sovereign of the Majapahit empire who came to Luzon, or his son Araw
(Lord Malangsic, it was then called Balayan ning Pambuit and located of Panlinlang. The present poblacion
was still a jungle in the barrio of Panlinlang. The present poblacion was still a jungle with belugas (aetas) and
other pagan tribes as inhabitants.
By 1571, Arayat had emerged as one of the prosperous settlements in Pampanga. But by 1590 when the
first Augustinian mission was established in the town by Fray Juan de Valderama, its population numbered
only 100. This can be explained by the fact that many young men had been conscripted in the military service
to help the Spaniards contain rebellions and defend the country against foreign invaders like the Chinese, the
Dutch and the British.
137 | P a g e
As early as 1660, there existed in Arayat a Spanish military fort which figured well in the local revolts. It is
not known whether any Arayatenos participated in the Pampango revolts to protest the racial discrimination
and social justice. To be sure, they shared the Pampangos reputation for bravery. The town bred such
revolutionary personalities as Gen. Jose Alejandrino, Mamerto Natividad his brother Benito and Aranias
Diokno.
4. BRIEF HISTORY OF BACOLOR

History states that Bacolor has been in existence and has been a well established sitio even before the
Spanish conquest. Bacolor was then and still a part of Pampanga which is a land along the bay and more thickly
populated that the upper lands. Bacolor at that time was considered to be replete in its subsistence and
prosperous in its trade, where rice grow in large quantity.
When the Spaniards under the leadership of Ferdinand Blumentritt arrived, they found “Baculud” which
was its original name, meaning high and level ground, to be inhabited by the first settlers who came from
Atjeth, Sumatra. These were the Malayans led by Panday Pira.
It is believed that before the Spanish conquest “Baculud” was founded by Malangsic’s first cousin and
sister-in-law, whose name was Monmon. However, there seem to be some unanimity among historians that
“Baculud” was actually founded in 1576 by a landlord, Guillermo Manabat. It was on the same site where the
palatial house of Guillermo Manabat was erected. The name “Baculud” was changed to Bacolor when the
Spaniards came to see the place. Subsequently in 1754 Bacolor was made the capital of Pampanga. Three
years later in 1757 the provincial building, Casa Real, was constructed at the place where Bacolor Elementary
School is now located.
In the year after the fall of Manila to the English invaders, Simon de Anda retreated and made Bacolor,
Pampanga the seat of the Spanish Government, actually the capital of the Philippines. Thru a decree of the
King of Spain at that time Bacolor became “Villa de Bacolor”, one of the tree villas in the Philipines and was
granted a special Coat of Arms,”Pluribus Unum - Non Plus – Ultra” which meant “one out of many”. Simon de
Anda organized an army of natives with which he finally recaptured Manila from the British Invaders.
The coming of the American colonizers in the same year broke up the military form of government, and
instead political and economic reforms were introduced. A civil form of government was organized and was
inaugurated on February 13, 1901 by Com. William H. Taft which took place in the old “Escuela de Artes y
Oficios”. The first Provincial Civil Governor was Don Ceferino Joven and the first Municipal President of Bacolor
was Don Estanislao Santos. For his accomplishment Com. Taft, was congratulated by Gen. Grant, the President
of the United States making Pampanga as the first province to have as organized civil government in the
Philippines.

5. BRIEF HISTORY OF CANDABA
One of the oldest settlements during pre-hispanic time, long before the “encomienderos” took hold of
the town in 1593, is what is now known as Candaba.
Not much is known before that period except for extant proofs that the Candabenos had their own
culture, commerce and industries which were basically farming and fishing.
Candaba, as told by Dr. Juan P. Gatbonton, on of the more knowledgeable chronicles of the town, derives
its name from Candawe, a name of a place close to sitio Culumanas in Candaba. Candawe was corrupted to
Candaba. Another school of thought, based on lore perpetuated by word of mouth thru the years, trces the
origin of the word Candaba from “Cang Daba” or Brothre Daba (Daba is a termused for a big eastern jar and
obese people are teased by likening them to a Daba), thus it came to pass that every out-of-turner buying fish
and the famed “buru” (pickled fish were almost invariably referred to Cang Daba. The town, later on, came to
be called Candaba.
The rest of the account by Gatbonton follows: “Franciscan priest Father Placencia, wrote that even as
early as 1577, the administration of the towns in the country was in the hands of the Filipinos called “datus”.
The Spaniards arrived in Pampanga in 1572 with the Augustinian missionaries. Candaba even then was already
a recognized settlement. Candawe was a sitio where the first church in Candaba was constructed because it
represented the highest, uninundated part of Candaba, near what is sitio Culumanas today.
Candaba lies at latitude 1505 and logitude 120 A 49 and its boundaries (Pampanga) and Cabiao (Nueva
Ecija) to the south, San Miguel and San Ildefonso to the east, Baliwag to the North, and San Luis and Sta. Ana
to the West.
The town boats of an old church constructed in 1766 and finally completed (after various reconstruction
attempts) in 1816 (during the incumbency of Capitan Juan de Dios Pelayo) the same year the Candaba – Sta.
Ana Road was constructed. There is the suspension bridge spanning Pampanga River, houses as old as 300
years and in one of them Rizal’s Noli Me Tangere was filmed starring Candaba’s dean of actors, Eduardo Del
Mar; there is the Glorieta with Azoteas, completed during the time of Mayor Juan de Dios Ocampo, publisher
of the first vernacular newspaper “Ing Siwala Ning Balen”, and finally there are the people, unique in their
being Candabeños, restive, war-scarred since the Spanish revolution and rising in arms against the Americans,
and ably led by General Dayang-Dayang (Miss Felipe Culala of Barangay Lanang) organized the first armed
resistance against the invading Japanese in 1942 in Pampanga, indomitable, but deeply rooted to their town,
return each year like a swarm of homing pigeons.
Candaba, because of its melons and water melons, has been dubbed the “Fruit Basket of Central Luzon”.
Nowhere can one find anymore fertile land than that of the swamps of Candaba. There is exaggeration in
saying that anything planted in the swamps, even wooden poles, grow.

6. BRIEF HISTORY OF FLORIDABLANCA

Before Floridablanca was founded, there were in existence within the area villages on land settlements
called “Haciendas”. Religious activities are centered in the chapel of the hacienda under a Spanish priest,
called a “Capellan”. It was then presumed that the seat of the local government was also in the hacienda.
Documented records indicated that since 1823 there had already been a chapel with a Capellan in the
“Hacienda de San Jose de Calumpaui”. Apparently, this hacienda was the forerunner of the town, we now call
Floridablanca. This is proven by the entries of the Capellanes until 1867 showing that “Hacienda de San Jose
Calumpaui” was renamed in the same year as “Pueblo de Floridablanca”.
How the town got its name, could not be historically verified. One version found its print in one of the
souvenir in honor of the Virgen delos Remedios. The other version is more of a legend, beautiful and accepted
by the elders of our town who learned it from our forefathers.
The printed version related that the town derived its name after that of the Conde de Floriblanca in the
person Don Jose Monino (1728-1808), an outstanding political figure during his time, who visited the place
before the foundation of the town.
The beautiful legend woven around the town’s name was that when Fr. Jose Fernandez. OSA, arrived at
the new location of the town where the present church now stands, and known then as “Manggang Punglod”,
he was greatly impressed by the beauty of the place, as he found endless files of blooming flowers of the
“palat” and “pandacaqui” variety. The good priest wittingly called the place “Floridablanca” or white flowers
after confronted with the problem of giving a new name to the locality. To this day, the place has been known
by this beautiful name.
In 1867, the Parish of Floridablanca was established and all religious activities were transferred from the
“Hacienda de San Jose at Calumpaui” to the present town church located at the site then called “Manggang
Punglod”. However, the local government at that time still remained in the said hacienda. In the same year
(1867), a petition was field to transfer the town compromising then barrios calampaui, santol and Carmen
(Valdez) to the site then called “Manggang Punglod”.
This petition was approved in November 1867 despite the opposition of the Spanish Landlord, Don Vicente
Valdez. The Spanish superior Decree ordering the erection of the town – Floridablanca – came only in
December 1878. The town was formally inaugurated with the name Floridablanca in January 1879 or twelve
years after its transfer.

7. BRIEF HISTORY OF GUAGUA

In accordance with writer Mariano A. Henson, in his work, “The Province of Pampanga Its Towns A.D.
1300-1965”, the original name of the town of Guagua is “Wawa”, which was first known in the year 1587.
In accordance with the same Henson work, in the year 1571, the word “wawa” was taken from the word
“alawa” which means the mouth of a river, in Pampango “buka” or “alua”.
In the early part of the 16th century, the place “alawa” was made the settlement of many people because
it was here that they could engage in the barter trade with people from different islands and it was here that
they could have their easy means of livelihood – fishing and farming, besides the barter trade. In view of this,
they built their nipa huts in this place called “alawa”.
It is a fact that the natives did not only trade good among themselves but also with the natives of the
neighboring islands. It is surmised that the word “alawa” through use and disuse became “wawa”. During
those days and until sometime later, the place came to be known as Wawa.
Then the Spaniards colonized the archipelago. It is known that they gave names to many places in Spanish-
Native names of other places were retained by them. But it is also surmised that some native names were all
written in the Spanish way. Some proper names are Spanish beginning with “gua” or “gue”, like Guadalupe,
Guevarra, etc. So, it is believed that the name Wawa was corrupted to Guagua.
Guagua had grown from a mere native settlement during the early days into a big pueblo during the
Spanish time. From the American regime to the present it has become a commercial center of the province of
Pampanga.
8. BRIEF HISTORY OF LUBAO

Lubao, like the rest subjected under the Spanish rule, has beautiful and courageous past more specifically
called treasurable heritages. In order not to distort historical facts, formerly, Lubao was called “Baba”, a native
dialect which meant beneath. It is situated at lower level which during rainy days is easily flooded. Previously
it is located at an upper level and later on transferred to a lower level for the purpose of convenience.
Convenience is mentioned because as it is now situated Lubao is adjacent to different narrow passages like
small rivers and/or streams. This is in reference to Spanish words “los estrechos” when the Spanish Friars rode
“Balangay” (Banca today), in going “back and forth” to Manila. The Spanish Friars experienced insurmountable
odds in crossing river relatively strong because of its fast current mistaken as a vast sea between tow isles.
The town was established in 1572 and named Baba (beneath) because its low in location. One of our late
ancestors like Raja Soliman, Alvarez and Ronquillo settled and named it Baba. Our ancestors did not keep
official and written records not until the Spanish rulers governed the islands. It was only in 1911 when the
Executive Secretary requested the Municipal Secretary Don Jose Salgado of the town to submit historical data
regarding Lubao. Researchers began and series of meetings were held. Accordingly, they came into conclusion
141 | P a g e
that formerly the town was called “Balen a Mababa” and later on translated into Spanish “Lo Bajo”. According
to some Spanish historians the first Spanish missionaries and explorers had no knowledge of the native
dialects and vice-versa. Malays were the first settlers of Lubao. They carried with them their own
governmental system.
It is composed of a Chieftain and council of elders. So when the Spanish soldiers attacked the fortresses
of Betis and Baba in 1571, thet discovered that the natives Chieftain in Baba were Raja Macabulos. Then Betis
was annihilated but they failed to conquer Baba because under Raja Macabulo’s initiative the natives
strengthened their fortress. Lately, the Spaniards offered friendly and peaceful settlements by returning their
hostages to the native Chieftains.
In 1733, Fr. Juan Gallegos was chosen Spanish missionary for the town of Lubao. It was in this period the
present site of the town was established by Fr. Gallegos. Fr. Gallegos was also responsible for the construction
of the first Catholic Church but was later demolished due to its weak materials. The construction of the
existing ancient church started in 1600. It was precisely in 1773 when the Spanish Friars transferred
parishionership to the Filipino clergies in Lubao. The Spanish Friars got angry with the clergies because of the
delayed completion of the Church and this was the precise reason why the proposed conceived college to be
erected in Lubao was transferred to another place which could be the springforth of the progress and
knowledge in Lubao. Fr. Juan Zita was responsible for the completion of the existing ancient church, with the
courageous and industrial efforts of foreman Don Herrera. This was painted by the well known painter,
Albirini. The Spanish Friars were responsible for the construction of a convent adjacent to the church. Here
they established a college and taught Latin, Spanish, Grammar, Rhetoric, etc. In this convent, the first Printing
Press was established in 1602 and later removed in 1606. As a result, several books in Pampango, Spanish
and Tagalog were printed. In the same convent many erudite Priest like Frs. Mentrida and Moro were
assigned. Lubao like other municipalities has colorful past.
9. BRIEF HISTORY OF MABALACAT

Mabalacat which became a town in 1712 was named after the Balacat, a species of tall, lean tree which
made good house posts. It is told that Mabalacat was once a vast jungle. It started from a cleaning by primitive
people known as Negritoes. As time passed by, this clearing became a permanent and prosperous settlement
ruled by a negrito known as Captain Caragan. Caragan and his followers lived in huts called dangsu. He was
married to Laureana Tolentino, who was the first cabeza de barangay of Mabalacat, a title now equivalent to
barangay captain. The negritoes were finally driven back to the nearby mountains and foothills by lowlanders
who frequented the place to hunt for wild animals and fowls.
It is told that Captain Caragan was very friendly and respectful to Filipinos who came to join them in their
settlement among many balacat trees. The first known priest was Father Mallari, who was kind and
sympathetic to the needs and welfare to the people in the settlement. Captain Caragan was very fond of
142 | P a g e
Father Mallari. He had in his possession the image of the Blessed Virgin Mary and a ball. According to most
authentic and reliable records Captain Caragan gave the image of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the ball to Fr.
Mallari on February 2, and from that day thereafter their town fiesta was celebrated every second of February.
It is claimed that the entire land area of Clark Air Base belonged to Mabalacat whose boundary extended
up to the Zambales ranges. In the 1950’s the boundary between Angeles and Mabalacat was situated in front
of Gomez Motors in Balibago. How the boundary marker was moved northward to its present site at 7 th Street
no one can tell exactly. The main gate of Forth Stotsenburg, now Clark Air Base was originally situated at Dau,
Mabalacat, according to old residents who also clain that since Liberation up to 1949 all judicial cases on Clark
Air Base were being referred to and heard at the Justice of the Peace Court of Mabalacat, while all marriages,
births and deaths occurring in Sapangbato to were registered in Mabalacat up to 1892.
Jose V. Dizon, a clerk of the secretario municipal in 1927 who had kept a mental file of municipal records,
which were burned during the war, claims that Sapangbato, which then belonged to Ludovico Narciso of Bical,
was part and parcel of Mabalacat. This was registered in the Catalan papers, Dizon avers, but unfortunately
there are no traces of these documents to prove his claim.
The leading personnel of Mabalacat local government were: Gobernadorcillos Juan Manalang, Antonio
Pasamonte, Restituto Dizon, Camilo Pamintuan, Alejo Lacson, Andres Quizon, Monico Samson and Atanacio
Samson; Capitanes Caragan, Leon Hipolito, Luis Narciso, Euladio Tolentino, Felipe Miranda, Loaquin Yalung
and Apolonio Ramos.
The Catholic Church building was conceived by and construction under the guidance of Capitan Domiciano
Tizon.
10.BRIEF HISTORY OF MACABEBE

According to the books of Buzeta y Bravo and Fr. Francisco Villacorta, the town of Macabebe was founded
by the Augustinian whose feastday is celebrated by the church on the feastday of its patron saint.
In the year 1594, the town of Macabebe was composed of 2,670 private homes and 5,928 contributors.
The town is situated in the island of Luzon, Province of Pampanga, Manila archdiocese. It borders the town
of Apalit, San Simon and Minalin and a river that flows to the bay thru the mouth Tilapatid and the Tavern of
Bodhod. The great part of its boundary is swampy and full of nipa palms and thick bushes. The community
had a jail and a parish church, which were the best in town. The parish church was served by a regular priest.
According to the two historians, the town’s main sources of income were fishing and farming. There were
also craftsmen, women dedicated in agriculture, weaving and selling their wares to neighboring towns. It
produced rice, corn, sugarcane, vegetables and fruits.
Macabebe means “bordering river bank”, because its land and population in the olden times were spread
along riven banks.
143 | P a g e
The people of “Macabebe” or Macabebes were the first known Pampangos recorded in history under a
Datu or King to defend their land and freedom against foreign invaders, and later, under the leadership of
Raja Soliman to defy the musket of Legaspi’s soldiers at Bangcusay, Navotas.
A series of Spanish Administrative Acts around the years 1600 create the pueblo or municipal system of
government. In Pampanga, full authority was placed in the hands of gobernadorcillo. The elected head of the
pueblo was chosen yearly. For Macabebe, the names gobernadorcillo can be traced back to 1609. Members
of only thirteen (13) different families of Macabebe held the office of 105 times between the year 1615 and
1765. The most frequent office holders were members of the Salonga family, who served seventeen different
times. First is Juan Salonga in 1677, and the last is Tomas Salonga in 1759. The Centeno family produced a
gobernadorcillo seven times, the first in 1650 and the last in 1764.
The gobernadorcillo is the Cabeza de Barangay or head of the barrio. In 1853, Macabebe consisted of ten
(10) barrios, namely, Buncal, Batasan, Bebe, Masantol, San Gabriel, San Juan, San Isidro, Sta. Rita and San
Vicente. Today, Macabebe has twenty five (25) barrios excluding the Poblacion.
The passage of time brought a great change in the town of Macabebe, the town of farmers and fishermen.
Farming and fishing which used to be the main sources of livelihood gave way to manufacturing, trading and
service establishments. Among the products manufactured in the town are furniture, T-shirts and ready-
made-dresses, concrete materials, sculpture, etc.
11. BRIEF HISTORY OF MAGALANG

Basking on the western side of majestic Mount Arayat, Magalang was established by the Spaniard
Augustinian Missionaries in 1605 at Macapasa.
The town’s old folks subjected for approximately 55 years to the regime of foreign dominion became
rebellious to the point that their own municipality served as the battleground of bloody encounters between
the revolutionary forces of Melchor de Vera and the Spaniards in 1660.
“Magalang”, literally means courteous or respectful to elders. The place is noted for the courtesy with
which one accords everyone else. The expression “as if you have not partaken of the Magalang rice”, is a
warning to anyone who is apt to be rude or impolite. In 1734, the original settlement now known as Magalang,
was in Bartolome in Concepcion, Tarlac. With the 1863 flood, the place was swept by the Parua River. The
aftermath of this calamity forced the residents to transfer once more their government to San Pedro where it
has been entrenced since December 13, 1863. The re-establishment was through the efforts of the late
Gobernadorcillo Pablo M. Luciano. Thus a new community grew up in Talimunduc and better known as San
Pedro, Magalang. This became the town proper and San Bartolome is now referred to as “Balen a Melacuan”
or forsaken town; the founders are Captain Pablo Luciano and Santiago Swing.
144 | P a g e
Magalang was selected by Melchor de Veyra, an emissary of Malong, as a training camp for 6,000
followers. These with many recruits from nearby towns extended famous rebellion to our province.
Misfortune followed the attempt. De Veyra and his men left Magalang for Pangasinan.
The rule of the place was taken over by the Revolutionary Government of June 12, 1889 up to November
5, 1889 when the Americans first came. Before the liberation on January 24, 1945, the Japanese took over
the area for a period of three years beginning January 3, 1942. The town was finally turned over by the
Americans to the Philippine Government on July 4, 1946 with executive functions no longer on the hands of
the gobernadorcillo but with the mayors. Hence, the town of Magalang has been undergoing physical, social
and political changes over the ages.
Magalang maybe called the granary of Pampanga, being the town that produces the most rice in the
province. The Pampanga Agricultural School was also established in this municipality.
The inhabitants of San Pedro de Magalang were very respectful and polite and so the barrio was called
San Pedro de Magalang after the governing characteristics of the people - as written by Pedro C. Pelayo,
District Supervisor, in his file on the Historical and Cultural Life of the Muncipality of MAGALANG.
12. BRIEF HISTORY OF MASANTOL

Formerly called San Miguel, the town was once a barrio of Macabebe. The name was derived from its
Patron Saint “St. Michael”. In 1879, through the effort of the Fajardos and Lacaps, San Miguel was separated
from Macabebe and became an independent town. The people named it Masantol because of the abundance
of santol trees in this place.
This town is at the southeastern tip of Pampanga. It is a piece of fertile land, crisscrossed and traversed
by many rivers, creeks and streams. It is a little town passed by the tributary of the Pampanga River.
As per records of the municipality, Captain Manuel Fajardo, one of the respected and influential leaders
of the community at the tome, and a close friend of a certain Spanish colonel who was incharge of big towns,
worked for the separation of Masantol from Macabebe. This he did by giving the Spanish colonel two good
looking and beautiful horses as gifts. That was when the town was declared as an independent town (1879)
with Captain Elias Fajardo as the first town executive.
Masantol can claim to be the rightful abode of Rajah Soliman. The palce where he was born was Batong
Dalig, a sitio of what is known today as barangay Sagrada, Masantol, Pampanga. It was established that most
of Rajah Soliman’s army were from Masantol and he recruited men in the nearby towns in his effort to save
Manila from the Spanish conquistadores. The blood of brave Soliman still flows in the veins of the gallant
fighters once casadillos, katipuneros, Philippine Scouts, guerillas and soldiers of our Armed Forces. The
Masantoleno as a soldiers saw action in three wars, namely, the Spanish-American War, World War I and II in
the name of liberty and freedom. He is second to none in valor and gallantry, as he was brave and courageous
under fire, earning for himself medals of Honor which he could proudly leave to his children as worthy legacy.
145 | P a g e
In 1898, the town of Masantol was invaded by the insurrectos under Captain Maximo Angeles through
the intercession of Don Ignacio Mallari and his son.
During the term of Cabesang Isidro, the town was spared rom destruction in 1901. The civil government
was establishment under American regime and many of the natives enlisted in the American Army. They were
all volunteers and became the nucleus of the war. Masantol was liberated in June 1945, by the American
liberation forces. In September 1946, an armed clash occurred between the government forces,
“hukbalahaps”, where many people were killed notoriously. And in October 1947, Huk Commander Tagumpe
was captured at the Delta of Pampanga River.
Masantol is noted for four things wherein it derives its income one of which are its hundreds of
pensionados receiving compensation from the US Government as ex-veterans of three wars.
13. BRIEF HISTORY OF MEXICO

The historical archieves of the Catholic Church of the Philippines records the erection of a Catholic Chapel
in the year 1566 in a native settlement along Pampanga River in the town of Mexico of the Province of
Pampanga. The site of this 400-year-old chapel still stands today where a new church stands.
This settlement grew into an important town serving as the training center in Eastern Pampanga because
of its being the fartheast river port for ships and cargoes from Manila and other rivers of the different towns
of Pampanga. Later, the advent of the railroad and the national road which both by-passed the town proper
lessened the commercial importance of this town. The adjacent town of San Fernando, then a former sitio of
Mexico, benfited by the railroad, took as the new trading center and later made the capital of the province of
Pampanga. Another barrio of Mexico (San Angelo) also benefited by the railroad and the national road
became the present Angeles City. Shortly before the Philippine Revolution when the people of the Eastern
Pampanga ceased to depend upon Pampanga River for commerce, the town proper was transferred to its
present location which is on the junction of the national railroad leading to the towns of Sta. Ana, Arayat and
Candaba and the provincial road leading to the town of Magalang.
The settlement, established about 1750, used to include a large part of what had been annexed to San
Fernando.
A marked rivalry between Mexican and Spanish friars who had been as signed in Masicu pueble gave rise
to the present name “Mexico”, an actual moral victory of Mexican friars who fought for the renaming the
place in reference, if not honor, to their country. (The Mexican Ambassador to the Philippines, in the middle
of 1960 made a special visit to this town as token recognition of his country’s unofficial identification with a
quaint little town name after a great nation.)
Mexico had its share of illustrados during the Spanish era. These were the distringuished individuals who
rose from the principalia or the native or mestizo upper class. It had small mestizo elite that governed the
peasanty through the historic tenancy system.
146 | P a g e
Mexico was under heavy influence of Mexican friars and Mexican soldiers, the latter described as coming
from the outcast segments of the wild and rough sections of Mexico, who were uncouth, fierce and combative.
A succession of Catholic priests and soldiers from the country of Mexico (North America) served in this
town. This fact and the abudance of chico trees was responsible for the naming of the town “Mexico”.
During the Philippine Revolution, a native son of Mexico, General Maximino Hizon, organized and led the
Filipino Forces, which drove away the Spanish Forces from the Eastern Pampanga. The peace that followed
brought prosperity to the town because of the sugar boom and freedom from bondage.
A bloodline through marriage between the colonizers and the indios (though this was prohibited by
Spanish authorities during their first two century in the Philippines) developed a mestizo strain known for its
genetically radical and subversive traits. Francisco Maniago of Mexico became a historical figure when he led
pocket revolts against Spanish authorities when his town’s people could no longer bear their subjugation and
of being forced to work in ricefields without pay, thus refusing to join the polo (common labor), proceeds of
which mainly benefited the central government in Manila.
14. BRIEF HISTORY OF MINALIN

About four centuries ago, a Malayan settlement was established by a brave and daring man named Khan
Bulaun, a descendant of Prince Balagtas in the cross rivers named Tigib.
The settlers lived in peace and abundance. They tilled the land around them and rivers name Tigib which
supplied all the fish they needed. As the population of Tigib increased some families left and founded new
settlements such as Burul, Sumpung, Pasak, Maopu and others.
Many years passed. One morning two big pitsuyas boats, loaded with Spanish soldiers from wawa
(Guagua) raided Tigib. Khan Bulaun rallied the warriors and fought the Spanish soldiers. The spears and bolos
natives suffered many casualties and were routed. The Spanish soldiers then looted the houses and set the
settlements to torch. Women trying to escape from burning houses were rounded up and raped. Many were
carried away. After the raid the soldiers returned to wawa, with their loot and women captives. Because of
many pretty women, this place was called MINALINDA DELAS MUJERES.
The next morning the people residing at the other settlements namely SUMPUNG, PASAK and MAOPU
visited the mother settlements, TIGIB, to comfort the survivors, the wounded and the raped. The dead were
buried including Khan Bulaun who was killed in the fighting, Tigib was abandoned and the remaining survivors
settled with their relatives in Maopu, Pasak, Sumpung and Burul.
Minalin prospered and became a business center. The inhabitants embraced the catholic religion. Maopu
became the spiritual center and a barrio of Macabebe, later name Sta. Maria De Tubungo. Pasak, Minalin and
Sumpung were made its sitios. Later sitios Paroba and Paralaya were added.
During those times the people of Sta. Maria had their baptism and marriages performed in the township
of MACABEBE which is a far place. It was decided that the Church should be built in Sta. Maria de Tabungo.
147 | P a g e
The Archbishops were approached for their approval to the project for which they did. For many years the
people gathered the materials for the construction of the church. Unfortunately, when everything was ready,
a big typhoon hit the area. The logs and other construction materials carried away by the flood and drifted to
high grounds of Minalin. The lime material, which was then used as cement that was stored at Sta. Mariz
hardened when the flood receded. The people ruled against returning the logs that drifted to Minalin. Instead
the people of Sumpung, Pasak and Sta. Maria agreed and decided to construct the church of Minalin. The
church was initially built of timber with a roof made of nipa thatch.
At the time the decision was made to build the church in Minalin, the idea of creating Minalin as a town
was born. The proposal was presented to the Spanish Governor General and was approved on May 4, 1700,
and Minalin became a new municipality. The new created municipality comprises the newly created barrios
of Sta. Monica, San Nicolas, Sto. Rosario, Sta. Catalina, San Pedro, Sta. Rita, San Francisco, San Jose, San Pablo,
San Vicente and San Bartolome.
The men responsible for the creation of MINALIN into a municipality were Don Nicolas Medina, Rufino
Carlos and the dela Cruz family.
Don Simon Dimacali, Don Tomas Tayag and Don Sebastian Sanchez of Paroba; Don Lorenzo Bondoc, Don
Felipe Tongol and Don Bartolome Muñoz of Paralaya; Don Gaspar Zapata of Sumpung; Don Nicolas Timbol of
Pasak; Don Matero Tullao de Jesus a Chinese mestizo, the de Leon’s of Sta. Maria. The leader of the group of
barrios, Don Diego Tolentino, became the first Capitan Mayor.
In the last quarter of the 19 th century, the nerve of the reformation spread throughout the country and
Minalin, though a small town of Pampanga became one of the centers of the movement. In the year 1876,
the movement was discovered by the local Parochial Spanish Priest. He reported the movement to the
Spanish Military Commander. The authorities sent Spanish soldiers and heavily armed Guardia Civil from
Macabebe. They caught some of the members of the movement and seized patriotic papers and pamphlets.
These members were beaten in the plaza and were imprisoned in Bacolor.
In the last decade of the same century, the Katipunan movement in Minalin was also active. In the month
of May 1898 a battle took place at Sta. Catalina, one of the barrio of Minalin, between the katipuneros and
the retreating Spanish soldiers. In this battle on Lt. Cristino Muñoz gallantly fought in the battle and became
the here of the revolution that took place in this town.
During the early part of the American regime, the secessionist group of Sto. Tomas (San Bartolome and
San Vicente) headed by Attorney Cordero, succeeded in convincing higher authorities in Manila that Sto.
Tomas is the proper and right site of township. So the town of Minalin was dissolved and all her barrios
became parts of Santo Tomas. The people of MINALIN rejected the decision of the Americans. To their dismay
the Military Governor General decided that Sto. Tomas and Minalin be integrated to the town of San
Fernando.
148 | P a g e
The prospering industry of this town is poultry raising, capitalized in millions of pesos. Minalin is dubbed
as the EGG BASKET OF PAMPANGA.
15. BRIEF HISTORY OF PORAC
This narration is from the verbal transmission of information from the ancestors of the late Mr. Severino
delo Reyes and Mr. Rufino S. Diaz. According to them, the Spaniards arrived in the town sometimes in the
year 1561. The primitive people were the Negritoes. The early settlers were four (4) brave and strong persons
namely: DUMANDAN, LUNDANG, QUIADAN and MANIACUIL from barrio Purac, Zambales.
In the olden days, this town Porac was a huge forest without a name. The Negritoes did not cultivate the
region. Their livelihood was mainly from hunting and fishing.
The four settlers from Zambales settled in the deep woods where they built their rough temporary
shelters. In order to survive, they started clearing the place for planting. They had to clear out, cut down
small and big trees mostly Purac trees. The trunk of a Purac tree is hard and as big as the trunk of a banana
tree or plant. Its branches were arranged uniformly by its trunk. Its leaves were supported by hard stems and
the blades of which are similar to that of the banana leaf. Unlike the banana leaf, Purac leaf occupies only the
last half of the stem.
Many weeks and months had gone by when one warm afternoon, while DUMANDAN and his tree
companions were taking a rest, they discussed and brought out to old DUMANDAN, their respectable chief,
their suggestion to name the place, “PURAC” after the abundant Purac tree which they encountered which
was later on to become the town of Porac
In as much as new settlers were continuously pouring in, they decided to put the boundaries of their
caingins so as to avoid future troubles. They had agreed that from the top of a hill called “BATIAUAN” which
was the starting point, one of them will go to the North, the other to the South, the third to the East and
Dumandan to the West.
Lundang reached the town of Floridablanca; Quiandan almost reached the churchyard of Tarlac; Maniacul
reached as far as Parulung, Bacolor; and Dumandan reached as far as Cabangan Zambales. At present, the
Pampagueños compose 96% of the populace, 3.5% by Cultural minorities, 5% of Ilocanos. Ninety-seven
percentum (97%) of the total population is dispersed sporadically within the 24 barangays of the town and
situated on the ⅓ part, lowlands and plains.
“Our town occupies a special place in the heart of President Marcos, for here he was saved by a local
family while the war veteran, guerilla leader, and fighter was being pursued by Japanese soldiers,” says Porac
Mayor Nonong Lumanlan.
Porac lies at the western area of Pampanga, occupying a large portion of hilly, mountainous terrain near
the Zambales area.
There is not probably, according to Lumanlan, a high-rise structure in Metro Manila that did not use the
highly-specified sand and gravel that only come from his town.
149 | P a g e
This has a basis in fact as hundreds of ten-wheel hailers invade the quarries in that area in the twenty-
four rush to procure and deliver sand and gravel to construction sites in the Big City.
Porac town, a known sanctuary, too, of the more dread leaders of dissidence, is now on the road to
progress, with various development programs initiated by its dynamic and hard working mayor. Lumanlan
even spends his personal resources, and works Monday to Sunday to make his town a showcase of successful
local government administration.
The newly cemented Porac-Angeles road, completed in record time as directed by Governor Mendoza,
has hastened travel and commerce in the municipality. Porac produces quality vegetables that supply the
needs of Angeles City and neighboring towns.
Mineral resources specially silica, white sand, perfect stones abound here; potential tourism spots can be
developed; vegetable and poultry raising in commercial scales can be undertaken, as well as cottage
industries, for Porac is filled with people of special skills in handicraft.
Lumanlan, an architecturealumnus from Mapua Institute of Technology, a successful builder and
businessman before he won the Mayorship, is setting a new example of exemplary leadership in his town. He
has united his people and marshaled the resources of distinguished citizens, including those in Manila, to help
build and lead his town to its rightful destiny.
Lumanlan’s ancestry is traced to the founders of his town, which is one of the oldest settlements in
Pampanga as history shows through archeological findings of century old jars and pottery.
16. BRIEF HISTORY OF SAN LUIS

Until the middle part of the 17 th century, San Luis was a part of the town of Pinpin (now as Sta. Ana) and
known then by the name “San Nicolos”. On the petition of the inhabitants and consequently upon
recommendation of Fiscal General Don Sebastian Martinez and Assessor Commissioner Juan Joseph Itna this
southern sectionwas separated from Pinpin. By virtue of an Executive Order issued by Don Miguel Espeleta,
the Spanish Governor General of the Philippine Islands, on February 14, 1761, the municipality of San Luis by
then created and the name “San Nicolas Cabagsac” was changed to “San Luis” after the Patron Saint San Luis
de Gonzaga, whose feast day is celebrated by the whole town on the 21 st day of June of every year. It was
only, however, in 1793 that the construction of the existing century-old church and convent was begun under
the direct supervision of Don Tomas Manakil.
San Luis is basically and agricultural municipality. It has 15 agriculutural barrios and I poblacion. It is
bounded on north by the towns of Sta. Ana and Candaba; on the West by San Simon and Mexico; on the South
are Baliwag and San Simon and on the East is the Candaba Swamps. It is bisected by the famous Pampanga
River.
The passage of time has brought many visible changes in the way of life of the inhabitants notably in land
and tenancy reforms, reaching its peak under the new dispensation. The year 1981 seems to usher a rosier
150 | P a g e
prospect for San Luis as the concreting of the long neglected San Luis – Santo Domingo national road as well
as the completion of San Luis Concrete Bridge and deemed to be realities. This, the people we owe to their
dearly beloved Governor, Hon. Estelito P. Mendoza and the municipality officials led by Mayor Agustin A.
Viray.
17.BRIEF HISTORY OF SAN SIMON

The town of San Simon was founded in 1770. Its former name was Del Pilar taken fron that of Mariano
Del Pilar delos Reyes, the founder. This name was changed to San Simon in honor of Don Simon de Anda Y.
Salazar, one time governor-general during the Spanish regime. In the Royal audiencia the name of Sebastian
Puyat and Fabian Macapagal of this town were defender of the Raja Soliman, Lacandola and Matanda, they
themselves descendent of that noble clan acted as lawyers. Even more intriguing is the question of whether
the man who was at one time a Senate President and the man who rose to the Presidency of the land are
related to the two lawyers.
There was a time when San Simon was annexed to San Luis due to its inability to finance its own
municipality. This did not last long. In order to improved its financial conditions the barrios of Lourdes and
Sto. Domingo of Minalin and some portions of Apalit were annexed to it. In spite of its meager income the
construction of the church, school and municipality building were made possible from contributions made by
some generous families like the Ibanezes, Punsalans, Guevarras, Santones, Reyeses, Pangans and others. The
first families of San Simon were the Macapagals, Puyat and Simbulans.
San Simon at present has fourteen barrios or barangays. The chief industries of the town are weaving,
farming and fishing. San Simon is predominantly agricultural.
San Simon was headed by the following alcades and mayors: Srs. Sesinando Pineda, Pablo Cruz, Teodora
Punsalan, Macario Santos, Macario Perez, Urbano Guevarra, Eusebio Francisco, Servillano F. Ibañez, Roman
Tuaño, Catalino F. Ibañez, Domingo Pineda, Patrocinio S. Yabut, Agustin M. Sese, Ramon F. Ibañez, Felipe
Almario, Fernando G. Galang, Jose S. Yabut, Gregorio M. Santillan, Cornelio S. Sanga, Lamberto G. Punzalan,
Ruben T. Dagdag and Jose M. Yabut, Jr. (1980 to date)
18. BRIEF HISTORY OF SAN FERNANDO

San Fernando, the capital town of Pampanga has been called by this name even during the early times.
History has it that San Fernando was founded by the Spaniards in 1755. Though it cannot be fully ascertain
who could be credited for planting the Spaniards flag here, legend and statements made by the old folks assert
that the honor belongs to St. Ferdinand of Spain, a soldier saint.
During the early part of the Spanish regime, the Spaniards found the people hostile and warlike, but due
to the superiority of Spanish weapons, the conquistadors succeeded in subduing the native inhabitants.
Strongly enough, Capitan Fernando, a Spanish calvary officer was not a vindictive conqueror. Instead, he
151 | P a g e
pursued a policy of attraction for which reason he soon had the Pampangos eat with him. He had them
baptized into the folds of Christianity and in final gesture freed the slaves who started a small revolt in the
town.
To express their gratitude and respect, the people named the settlement after King Ferdinand of Spain,
whose conquest of the Moords and acts of kindness made him a saint.
According to historical data, the origin of the town can be traced back to the small community of Sto.
Rosario I, which then was part of the towns of Mexico and Bacolor, until it was founded in 1755 as a separate
town out of the original barrio named after its patron Saint San Fernando III. It was said that the first families
in the town were those of Arrozal, Catacutan and David.
Spanish era, since the year it was founded, its administrator was called a gobernadorcillo, the first of
whom was Mr. Vital de Arrozal. Subsequently, 136 mother town personalities occupied the position until
1897.
A settlement of traders and farmers where slavery was practiced until the 18 th century, it was
subsequently taken over by Capitan Fernando. The town was established by him on August 31, 1775 which
he named San Fernando in honor of the King of Spain, Fernando III. This town formerly included Culiat, now
Angeles in 1796 but later was separated from said town in 1829 and made into a separate municipality.
The town did not gain any prominence during the Spanish regime for the simple reason that the provincial
capital was then located in Bacolor. However, the coming of the Americans at the turn of the century marked
the start of the ascendancy of San Fernando toward progress and to national fame.
On February 13, 1901, the first provincial civil government was established in Pampanga with Bacolor as
its seat. From this, the government established by the Americans branched out to the different towns.
When the civil government was establish, the town of Santo Tomas with its five barrios was annexed to
San Fernando because of its low income.
HISTORICAL DATA
On September 1, 1896, the municipality was declared in a state of war. This was the result of the
Philippine Revolution against the Spanish government. Consequently, Spanish Generals like Diego delos Rios,
Luis Geralde, Francisco Castilla, a certain Jaudennes and Ricardo Monet were sent by the Governor General
to establish a big detachment of soldiers to halt the revolution. In December of the following year, peace was
declared as a result of the pact of Biak-na-Bato.
The town had its share of disaster, the worst of which was the great conflagration on February 9, 1939,
which razed the whole commercial district and a portion of the residential district near the railroad station.
But because of the natural industry of the people and their tenacity, not long after the damaged areas were
152 | P a g e
built and commerce picked more. So it was that San Fernando was still the commercial and industrial center
of Pampanga when the Pacific War broke out on December 8.
The entry of the Japanese forces into the town was accompanied by another great fire that left nothing
standing in the town plaza except the charred remains and smoking embers. This resulted in the:
GEN. MAC ARTHUR’s REIGN
In December 1901, the public school was erected. As a consequence of the reigning peace in December
1902, the American calvary stationed in San Fernando was transferred to Angeles. On August 15, 1904, the
provincial capitol was transferred from Bacolor to San Fernando, with all its attendant business affairs upon
the instructions of the then Provincial Governor Macario Arnedo.
In 1907, another fire occurred in the municipality during the reception for Governor General Smith,
burning down many houses of strong and light materials.
In 1909, the first public market was erected with a cost of P 20,000.00. It was divided into four
departments with galvanized iron roof and a building of concrete and strong materials.
On March 27, 1910, another big fire occurred in the town proper spreading up to Aviles Street in Barrio
Santo Niño with a calculated loss of approximately P 100,000.00
In 1914, Iglesia Ni Cristo was founded under the ministry of Felix Manalo at Sot. Niño Viejo.
In 1930, the Popular Front or Frente Popular inspired by communistic idealism was organized by Pedro
Abad Santos, brother of Jose Abad Santos with members – Ex Mayor Cuyugan, Fernando Sampang and Lito
Dizon as heads of the Socialist Party. Before the outbreaks of World War II, Pampanga High School was
erected.
In 1939, another fire razed the town market and in 1949 the church construction was completed. In 1941,
the Japanese forces occupied the town and placed the municipal government under their supervision. It was
also during this period that the principles of nationalism were being spread notably by Lino Dizon. He was
later arrested and executed by the Japanese Kampetai.
On January 29, 1945, the liberation forces under General McArthur entered San Fernando and the Civil
Government were established with the late Vivencio Cuyugan recruited policemen who are members of the
Hukbalahap. “Hukbong Bayan Laban sa Hapon” was also organized and the Constitutional By Laws of the
organization were written by Potenciano, a former chief of Police.
On July 1, 1946, by virtue of an agreement, Rodolfo Hizon took over as the Municipal Mayor until the end
of the war.
153 | P a g e
19. BRIEF HISTORY OF STA. ANA

Once upon a time, Sta. Ana was a vase place of forest bordered by such places as Mexico, Candaba,
Magalang and Arayat. A settlement was established by people who came from the neighboring towns. They
cleared the area as the years passed; more people came to settle in the place. They selected a leader from
the settlers, one who was the bravest, the most diligent and one who understood the needs of his people
whom they addressed as Datu, Cst and Apol.
When the Spaniards came to the place, they name the place Sta. Ana. Their patron saint is Sta. Ana whom
they called for their materials and spiritual needs.
The first town officials were from the respected families of Garcia, Santiago, Maniago, Fausto and Captain
Antonio Gamboa.
Some of the natives of the town who joined the Katipunan, a secret movement who fought against the
Spaniards were Pio Lansangan, Marcelino Canlas, who came from the Maniago, Montoya, Gamboa and
Faustino families. Among those who became town Mayors were Alfonso, Martin, Pio Lansangan, Antonio
Fausto, Serafin Garcia and Aniceto Pangan.
For sometime, Sta. Ana and Arayat were ruled as one during the American regime that is from 1911 –
1912 after which it was again separated.
20. BRIEF HISTORY OF STA. RITA

The town of Sta. Rita was formerly a part of the municipality of Porac. The aetas that thrive on its
mountains of ten came down to the lowlands and brought havoc and fear to the town. Because of this
lawlessness and of the distance between those two places, the Rev. Fr. Vicenter Eustaquio Polina, parish priest
decided to separate Sta. Rita from Porac, both in government set-up and in religious organization. This was
the year 1770. The first community church was located in what is now known as Barangay San Jose. Because
of the scarcity of documents, to base the history of Santa Rita this would be left unwritten.
Sta. Rita was formerly a wilderness where gigantic trees grew in abundance. The pioneering gathers first,
settled in a part called “Gasac” meaning cleared land. Now Gasac is known as San Isidro, just as “Lacbangan”
is called San Matias.
On the Northwestern part, a community existed during the early days of Sta. Rita. Here everyone could
plant for this was a communal property. It was fenced by the people so it was called “Quilub Cumun”
colloquial “Club Common”.
There was a time in Sta. Rita’s history when Bacolor, a town of the east, wanted the annexation of Sta.
Rita, but to the vigilance of Don Magno Gosioco the plan did not pushed through. From then on Sta. Rita was
left to rule itself.
154 | P a g e
When Sta. Rita was separated from the municipality of Porac, there were only ten families who elected to
stay in the new place. As Sta. Rita begun attracting people, these ten pioneer families became the elites.
Present prominent Sta. Ritenos are members of these families. There is a dearth of hard data and statistics
on the town that is known for its “turrones de casoy”, the municipal building was burned down by Paulo
Santos alias “Commander Pampanga”.
The people of Sta. Rita, true to the characteristics of their patron saint, are imbued with a religious
temperament, love for peace, and helpfulness to the needy and open mindedness. They have always been
wide-awake and abreast with the times.
21. BRIEF HISTORY OF SANTO TOMAS

Traditionally, Baliwag was the name of Santo Tomas (in 1792). It was christened after Sto. Tomas Apostol,
whose festivity was solemnized on December 21, 1792. The town was named Baliwag (Baliwag means tardy
in Spanish) because the town people were always tardy in attending mass.
In September 15, 1792, Santo Tomas as a new town was detached from its matrix Minalin. The separation
was historically verified. But on the 19 th day of December 1792, negotiations were carried out by the town
people towards the political segregation of Santo Tomas from its matrix Minalin.
From the parish files on baptism, marriage and death, from January 1, 1830 to 1854, the town was written
as Sto. Tomas de Baliwag and from 1855 to 1926, it was written Pueblo de Santo Tomas.
On May 4, 1899, the town was captured by the U.S. forces on January 2, 1905 and contrary to all
expectation, the political reins of Sto. Tomas were ceded to San Fernando and until 1905 both Sto. Tomas and
Minalin were still under the political jurisdiction of San Fernando, Minalin, however, became emancipated at
a later date, but not Santo Tomas.
On October 12, 1951, a month before the elections, through Executive Order No. 476, issued by the late
President Elpidio Quirino, the five barrios of Santo Tomas, namely, San Matias, San Vicente, San Bartolome,
Sto. Rosario and Poblacion were segregated from San Fernando and organized into an independent
municipality henceforth to be called Santo Tomas with the seat of government at barrio San Vicente.
Despite two other setbacks of negotiations, for independence made by the people of Santo Tomas in 1919
and 1949, not until January 11, 1952 was the Municipality of Santo Tomas reborn and re-inaugurated at last
with the first municipal hall temporarily located at the house of late Mayor Patricio Gomez who was the first
Municipal Mayor of the town appointed by the late President Elpidio Quirino. Due to political reasons, in 1955
R.A. 1250 was enacted by Congress transferring the seat of municipal government from San Matias to
Poblacion. However, believing that said seat of government is ironically and paradoxically located in an out-
of-town poblacion, President Decree No. 1441 was issued by President Ferdinand E. Marcos on June 11, 1978
permanently transferring the seat of municipal government from Poblacion to Barangay San Vicente which is
155 | P a g e
ideally and strategically located in an effort of effecting meaningful change and accelerating progress and
development in the town as also desired by barangay and municipal officials.
Santo Tomas is the youngest if not the smallest town in the entire province of Pampanga. It has a total
land area of around 21.29 square kilometers. With only seven barangays, it has a total population of 21,382
in 1975 and 26,504 in 1980. Previously, there were only five barangays but due to political expediency,
barangay Sapa – Santo. Niño and Moras dela Paz were segregated from mother barangay San Matias in 1970.
The chief industries of the town are ceramics, carpentry, trading, and agriculture. It is 3½ km. from the
provincial capitol.
22. BRIEF HISTORY OF SASMUAN

Indeed SASMUAN is an interesting and old community. It is the only town in the entire province of
Pampanga which is surrounded by fishponds. It is actually bounded in the north, by the town of Guagua; in
the east, by the towns of Masantol and Macabebe; in the west, by the town of Lubao; and in the south, by
Manila Bay.
The town lies along the bank of the grand Pampanga River reaching and winding until the Manila bay. It
is made up of exactly twelve lively barrios, Sta. Lucia (Poblacion), San Antonio, Sta. Monica, San Nicolas
(Maragul), San Nicolas (Malati) and Santo Tomas. The other six coastal barrios which are located outside the
town proper are San Pedro, Mabuanbuan, Malusac, Batang Macaba, Batang Macuyad and Sebitanan.
According to Dr. Salesby, the author of the Origin of the Malayan Filipinos, the Pampango immigration to
Pampanga was led by Prince Balagtas, one of the great rulers of the Madjapait Empire during the fourteenth
century. Before coming to Luzon to establish a dynasty, noted that at the time the Balagtas dynasty was
founded, Pampanga was a very extensive territory for it included Tarlac, Nueva Ecija, Bataan and Parts of
Bulacan and Pangasinan. Among the descendants and successors of Prince Balagtas were Fernando Malong
Balagtas who became the ruler and overseer of the vast dominion, Sulieman matua, the ruler of Macabebe,
and his younger brother, Sulieman anac, the ruler of Sasmuan. Meanwhile in a small locality along the bank
of Pampanga River, there was a noted settlement called “Sasmo” because it became the “Pitabnuan” or
meeting place of courageous men who preferred to settle their enmity and personal differences by means of
duel or through the sword (Bolo) “armas de mano”. After the combat, the victor by tradition was required to
bury his fallen enemy with fitting ceremonies. They become good friends and promised not to fight anymore.
If both of the protagonists died in action, their friends and relatives were obliged to bury them side by side
with fitting ceremonies.
Of Chinese architecture, one of the old churches of the Philippines was the Sasmoan church which was
built in 1590 by the Augustinian fathers under the supervision of a famous friar architect, Father Antonio
Herrera, the builder of the romantic monastery of Guadalupe. For almost four hundred years this cute temple
of prayers has withstood all natural calamities including the disastrous earthquake of 1863.
156 | P a g e
Fr. Jose Borruel, a dedicated missionary of the Augustinian Order was the first parish priest of Sasmoan
and in 1615 he was succeeded by another Augustinian, Fr. Pedro de Zuniga who suffered martyrdom in Japan
on August 19, 1622. Indeed for over three centuries and a half our town has always been ecclesiastically
administered by Spanish Augustinian regular priests. Verily the Rev. Fr. Luis was the last Augustinian Spanish
regular priest who served faithfully until the appointment of native Filipino priest.
Sasmuan has its hispanized origin from the workd “Sasmuan” which tradition holds out to mean “Tabnuan”
or to gather and assemble. The etymological importance of the name “Sasmoan” is that it is in this place
where a band of patriotic Pampangos from nearby towns used to assemble and plan attack against Chinese
and Spanish insurgents. Across the years, the name “Sasmuan” was changed to “Sesmoan”, and centuries
later, it grows up and developed into as “Sexmoan”. The word which has an obscence meaning in English
was later changed to its original name Sasmuan.
