It was my first time using Diosdado Macapagal International Airport or more known as Clark International Airport (IATA: CRK) on my flight back from Cebú from Sinulog Festival. The first question of a first timer commuter is: How do I get out of the airport? I have been here a few years ago, but just until the waiting area. We ...
It was my first time I went to this festival...or fiesta. It is not the usual street dancing competition or handaan sa bahay-bahay festivities but it was a perfect way of celebrating Valentine’s Day and the Chinese New Year out of the hustle and bustle of Metro Manila. Nah, not the “Age of Aquarius” song again, but it’s “up, up ...
After the event in Bacolor, Pampanga, we had a good opportunity to have a Kapampangan breakfast. But this is no ordinary carenderia or fastfood Kapampangan food trip. We were treated to one of Philippines’ well-known and one of the respected authorities in the eloquent and exotic Kapampangan cuisine. We head to Angeles City, Pampanga, some almost 20 kilometers away ...
BACOLOR, Pampanga -- Christmas is the time of the year for giving, sharing and togetherness. As part of the tradition we Filipinos do during Christmas, we celebrate the birth of the Redeemer by observing nine mornings…nine days of waking up early and hearing mass we know as misa de gallo or simbang gabi. Christmas isn’t complete without a sumptuous meal ...
It was a surprise visit, really. I never knew that we would go back to Bagong Pag-asa! It was just last Palm Sunday when we visited Bacolor, Pampanga for my visita iglesia. It’s the usual sightseeing and appreciation of our ancestor’s legacy to our country. This was no ordinary visita iglesia this time. For the longest time, I would like ...
It has been over a decade since one of the most cataclysmic volcanic ereuptions of the 20th Century that altered the landscape of Central Luzon here in Pilipinas. As Apo Namalyadi blew his home in the mountain of Pinatubo in such fury, only a handful died directly of the such massive explosion...but its not that fury of hot gas and ...
Last Palm Sunday, my friend texted to visit her at Pampanga. Sana nga nakapanood ako nung flagellation at crusifixion at Cutud but I have work on Good Friday. Like any place I go, I always look o something interesting and something that is not, hehe! Heritage tour again! Last year it was Batangas; this year, 2 provinces: Pampanga and Iloilo!
Okay, ...
As what they say, Kapampangan cuisine probably is one of best culinary traditions in the country. Ranging the sumptuous feast of Sulipan cooking all the way to exotic foods....
Speaking of exotic, I've tasted adobong sawa and tapang usa before. It was good, and they all came from Pampanga. Now I'm really wondering, what's the taste of that very famous delicacy ...
See the picture above? Its like every urban dweller's dream! EDSAng walang trapik and vehicles you can count by fingers! Yup, that's our very own busiest thorougfare in the country...Epifanio de los Santos Avenue, or EDSA! Sana nga araw araw ganito! Ay apo! But wait, there's more...most of Manila's roads were almost empty...whoa! Now that's quite creepy...parang War of the ...
