  • Pampanga Essay

    ...Stopover: Pampanga Date: August 9, 2013. I felt like a lost dog that was found in Baguio, stayed there for few months and then got back to Pampanga. Finally, I’m home! After two months of adjustments and hardships in studying at UP Baguio, I’d felt again the boiling temperature and the warm welcome of Pampanga. I had observed the difference of Pampanga, my hometown, and Baguio, the place I currently live on. Aside from its temperature, you can distinguish their dissemblance- the food and the kind of people it has. But what I miss about this place is our home and especially the people in it. Here’s a little background about my hometown I sincerely miss: It is undeniable that Capampangan cuisine is thought to be among the most evolved and refined of Philippine cuisines. Some of these are tocino, longganisa, kare-kare, sisig and kilawin. Our province also holds a variety of festivals that cultivates and enriches the culture and history of Capampangan. We have Sinukwan Festival that honors the god of ancient Capampangans, Aring Sinukwan; the Giant Lantern Festival in December that features a competition of giant lanterns which was the reason why Pampanga has been nicknamed as the "Christmas Capital of the Philippines"; the Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta celebrated at Clark; and the famous Piestang Tugak (Frog Festival) that promotes the various frog traditions of the city’s...
