A good place to visit especially this hot weather.

A place to just chill

The typical kapampangan traits are judgmental, arrogant, loud, would splurge on luxurious/expensive things so they can keep face. The “magastos” part, another local once told me, might be bec of the bountiful and year round harvests in Pampanga, they know they’ll always have earnings from their next harvest so they tend to overspend, and sometimes borrow money in advance because they know there’s always “next harvest” (as opposed to Ilokano’s kuripot stereotype. Before, in Ilocos, they only harvest rice once a year, so they’re very frugal with their money).

The family comes from Tarlac and has produced several congressmen, senators, a vice governor, and two presidents. The head of the patriarch family is Servillano Aquino, who was a delegate to the Malolos Congress in 1898. His son, Benigno Aquino, Sr., followed his footsteps as he represented the 2nd District of Tarlac to the House of Representatives of the Philippines (1916-1928) and to the Philippine Legislature by being a senator (1928-1934).

One of eight rays of the sun. During the Philippine Revolution of 1896, Tarlac was among the first eight provinces to rise against Spain, alongside neighbouring Pampanga. It became the new seat of the first Philippine Republic in March 1899 when General Emilio Aguinaldo abandoned the former capital, Malolos, Bulacan. This lasted only for a month before the seat was moved to Nueva Ecija in Aguinaldo's attempt to elude the pursuing Americans.
