Pampanga marks 439th anniversary

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO, Pampanga— Pampanga Gov. Lilia G. Pineda and the provincial government officials are leaving no stones unturned to make this year’s 439th celebration of Pampanga Day as memorable and meaningful as possible.

Various activities have been lined up for the 11-day observance of Pampanga Day that starts on December 11.

The Circulo Capampangan, a non-government organization which seeks to preserve and promote Pampanga’s rich cultural heritage is spearheading a grand ball to be held on the evening of Dec. 11 at the Bren Z. Guiao Convention Center.

This was learned from Malou Garbes, a representative from the organization who said that “19 years after the onslaught of lahar from the Mt. Pinatubo eruption, the Circulo Capampangan will hold a grand ball that would bring together all sectors and unify all Capampangans everywhere.” -- FR
