Angeles City my hometown

My roots hailed from Angeles City situated in the heart of Pampanga popularly known as the Culinary Capital of the Philippines. Looking back on its past when the Mt. Pinatubo erupted on June 12 1991, my beloved hometown was almost wiped out because of the havoc due to floods and ash fall. It's not easy for the Angelenos, as we call ourselves, to rebuilt and stabilize the city by putting up new business establishments to pervade investors and create more jobs for the locals to start with. Growing up in a situation such as taught the people of Angeles City to be ingenious, determined and diligent. 

At this present time, Angeles City stood up among it's neighboring cities in Pampanga, mainly because of the festivals they celebrate, one the I would mention is the Hot Air Balloon festival which is held every first week of February that lasts for 4 days, famous "Fiestang Kuliat" that is most likely celebrated for the whole month of October where various affair takes place any day of this month followed by the much awaited "Tigtigan, Terakan kind Dalan" or Music and Dancing on the Streets, lastly, the most delectable festival you'd come across the city is the Sisig festival. Sisig is a simple yet appetizing popular filipino dish made up of char-grilled pork, white onions minced, marinated with calamansi or kumquat, seasoned with salt pepper and chopped red chillis.

What I love about my hometown are the restaurants along the metro, from street food to fine dining, vast places to go and to mention some, there is the Fontana Leisure and Water Themed Park, Zoocobia Fun Zoo, an array of spas and well being establishments where you can relax and pamper yourself, The Nayong Pilipino and Clark Airforce City, where the former U.S. Military Base was situated before the Mt. Pinatubo eruption. Some of to do list maybe handy if you'll pay a visit, if you enjoy firing for a hobby, try Mountain Clark Shooting Range, take a shot of Deca Wake Park and experience wake boarding for fun...
