Lahat Payak

Ang araw ay sumisinag sa mga bata. Ito ang simpleng mundo na nakikita nila. Ang mahinahong ihip ng hangin at masiglang agos ng tubig ay ang tangi nilang pansin. Madaling makibagay sa daloy ng kanilang payak na pamumuhay na wari ba'y ipinapaagos nalang nila sa ilog ang anumang alalahanin sa buhay.

Month of May

Fiesta The month of May is full of special events. One of which is Fiesta wherein every barangay's patron saint is celebrated annually. Ati-atihan (native dancers) are seen in almoist every town's fiesta with parlor games and of course food is in full blast in every house.

Flores de mayo Flores de mayo or Santa Cruzan is a parade of beautiful ladies in elegant gowns. The Reyna Elena and her escort the Emperatris are just some of the characters in the parade. This is one of the most awaited moment for young girls and boys.

Tuli or Circumcision

For the boys TULI is the start of their teenage life. Yes , Binata na ako !! I asked one of my nephews who went through it last week. He said it really hurt. I think it's more painful for them to say goodbye to their childhood than the actual operation. My son stilll has a year before turning on a new leaf in his life. I do hope he enjoys every second.

Simula Palamang

This is one of the houses smashed by the mudflow from Mt. Pinatubo ( a volcano in Zambales) Now after 18 years, here's the new house in stilts. In the past few years, people here started rebuilding their old houses so they can start anew. After all, there's nothing like a " home sweet home "

Tulay

This bridge was in the middle of a Mountain in our province in the Philippines. They made this bridge to help our commuters to lessen the heavy traffic

This way is going to the Olongapo city, Zambalez, Bataan. When you're in Pampanga you can go to Olongapo within 30 mins unlike before which take you up to 3 to 4 hour with the traffic.

The opposite way is Southbound: Manila ,Laguna , Cavite. You can take this maximum 1 hour drive rather than taking the National Road which takes 5hours to drive.
