Angeles, officially the City of Angeles (Kapampangan: Lakanbalen ning

Angeles; Tagalog: Lungsod ng Angeles), or simply referred to as Angeles City, is a 1st

class highly urbanized city in the region of Central Luzon, Philippines. According to the 2015
census, it has a population of 411,634 people.[3]

It is bordered by Mabalacat to the north; Mexico to the east; San Fernando to the
southeast; Bacolor to the south; and Porac to the southwest and west. Though the city
administers itself autonomously from Pampanga, it is the province's commercial and
financial hub.
Angeles is served by the Clark International Airport in Clark Freeport Zone.[4] Being
home of the former Clark Air Base (once the largest United States military facility
outside the continental United States), it was significantly affected by the fallout from the
eruption of Mount Pinatubo in 1991. The economy of Angeles was heavily dependent
on the American base at that time.[5]
In 1993, a full cleanup and removal of volcanic ash deposits began and the former U.S.
base was transformed into the Clark Special Economic Zone (CSEZ).[6] The creation of
CSEZ has helped to offset the loss of income and jobs previously generated by the
presence of the U.S. base in the city. Today, Angeles and Clark form the hub for
business, industry, aviation, and tourism in the Philippines as well as a leisure, fitness,
entertainment and gaming center of Central Luzon.[7]
Angeles ranked 15th in a survey by MoneySense magazine as one of the "Best Places
to Live in the Philippines" in its March–April 2008 issue.[8]
Angeles is 83 kilometres (52 mi) from Manila and 17 kilometres (11 mi) from the
provincial capital, San Fernando.

Etymology

The name Ángeles is derived from the Spanish El Pueblo de los Ángeles ("The Town of
the Angels") in honour of its patron saints, Los Santos Ángeles Custodios (Holy
Guardian Angels), and the name of its founder, DonÁngel Pantaleón de Miranda.

This section needs additional citations for verification.

Spanish period
In 1796, the gobernadorcillo or town head of San Fernando, Don Ángel Pantaleón de
Miranda, and his wife, Doña Rosalía de Jesús, along with some followers, staked out a
new settlement, which they named Culiát because of the abundance of vines of that
name in the area. The new settlers cleared the woodland and cultivated the area for rice
and sugar farming. Don Ángel built his first house with light materials at the northwest
corner of the intersection of Sapang Balen and the road going towards the town
of Porac. It was later donated to the Catholic Church and became a cemetery called
"Campo Santong Matua" (today the site of Nepomuceno Coliseum).[9]
On 12 May 1812, the new settlers tried to make Culiat a self-governing town but the
friars resisted the move, led by Fray José Pometa. Ten years later, on 11 February
1822, Don Ángel filed a petition for the township of Culiat to secede from San Fernando,
but it was denied. This was followed by another petition within the same year, jointly
signed by Don Ángel, his son-in-law, Mariano Henson, and the latter's father, Severino
Henson. He donated 35 hectares for the construction of the first Catholic church, a
convent and a primary school while Doña Agustina Henson de Nepomuceno, the niece
of who would become the first gobernadorcillo of Angeles in 1830, Don Ciriaco de
Miranda, gave land for the new public market. Don Ángel paid the complete amount
required by law just for the secession of Culiat from San Fernando. There were only 160
taxpayers then but the law required that it should have at least 500 taxpayers. [10]
Located some 10 miles (16 km) north of Pampanga's capital, Culiat became a barrio of
San Fernando for 33 years and on 8 December 1829, became a separate municipality.
The newly-autonomous town was renamed "El Pueblo de los Ángeles" in honor of its
patron saints, the Holy Angels, and the name of its founder, Don Ángel, coinciding with
the rise of new barrios such as Santo Cristo (as the población or town proper), Cutcut,
Pampang and Pulong Anunas. The progressive barrios developed some new industries
like a sugar mill and a wine distillery. The transition of Angeles from a jungle clearing to
a barrio, to a town and finally to a city took 168 years and in all that time, it survived
locusts' infestations, wars, epidemics, volcanic eruptions and typhoons to become one
of the fast rising towns in the country. When it received its first official municipal charter,
the town contained some 661 people, 151 houses and an area of 38.65 km².[5][11]
On 17 March 1899, General Emilio Aguinaldotransferred the seat of the First Philippine
Republic to Angeles. It then became the site of celebrations for the first anniversary of
Philippine independence, which was proclaimed a year earlier in Kawit, Cavite. Events
included a parade, led by the youngest ever Filipino generals, Gregorio del
Pilar and Manuel Tinio, with General Aguinaldo viewing the proceedings from the
Pamintuan Residence, which was the Presidential Palace from May to July 1899 (and
later was the Central Bank of the Philippines office in Central Luzon, before its
ownership passed to the National Historical Commission of the Philippines). Aguinaldo's
sojourn was short, however, for in July of this same year he transferred his government
to the province of Tarlac following Angeles' occupation by the American forces.[12]

Climate
Under the Köppen climate classificationsystem, Angeles has a tropical savanna
climate that borders on a tropical monsoon climate (Köppen climate
classificationAw/Am). Angeles experiences two distinct seasons: a dry season from
December through April, with a wet season from May through November. From 1953 to
1991, the mean daily low was 73.6 °F and the mean daily high was 88.1 °F, with June
being warmest and January and February being the coolest. The average annual
rainfall is 78.39 inches. Typhoons tend to approach from the east during the summer
and fall. Many damaging storms struck the city, including Typhoon Irma on 28
November 1974 (generally considered to be the strongest one); Typhoon Rita on 27
October 1978; Typhoon Irma (the name was reused) on 24 November 1981; Typhoon
Ruby on 25 October 1988; and Typhoon Yunya on 15 June 1991 which coincided with
the Mount Pinatubo blast. In July 1972, Central Luzon experienced a month of nearly
continuous rain, resulting in 96 inches falling on the plain around Angeles.

Culture

Preparing for the Octoberfest 2009 along McArthur Highway in Balibago district.

The city also hosts a street party called the Tigtigan Terakan keng Dalan (lit. Music and
Dancing on the Streets) every October which features musical performances from both
amateur and better-known OPM bands.[32]
In December, the festivities dedicated to the Kapmpangan dish, sisig was used to be
held every December. The Sisig Festival locally known as the Sadsaran Qng Angeles
was held annually.[33] It was halted in 2008 following the death of Lucia Cunanan who is
known for promoting the dish. The festival revived as a one-day fiesta in April 2017 in
association with the Department of Tourism.
ReligionEdit
Majority of the population of Angeles is Catholic.[citation needed]. At least two major
festivals associated with the Catholic faith are held in October in the city.
Commemorating the victory of the Spanish fleet over the Dutch Navy in 1646, the La
Naval Fiesta is celebrated in honor of the Our Lady of La Naval de Manila with
adherents believing that her intercession was instrumental to the Spaniards' naval
victory.[34] The Apu Fiesta involves devotees from all over Pampanga making a visit to
the Apu shrine to venerate the image of Jesus Christ lying in the sepulchre which is
believed to be miraculous by believers.[35]
Expatriate community
Owing to the presence of the nearby U.S. base and consequent Freeport
Zone,[36] many Americans chose to permanently settle in the area, particularly in the
Balibago district, and thus Angeles became home to a large colony of expatriates.
During the American colonial period (1898–1946), more than 800,000 Americans were
born in the Philippines, and a large concentration of Filipino mestizos or Filipinos with
American ancestry were located in this city.[37][38][39]

Skyline of Balibago, Angeles

Despite the major challenges that were faced by the city, such as the removal of the
U.S. Clark Air Base and the Mount Pinatubo's eruption in 1991, all these have been
surpassed by Angeleños. The improvement in the economy of Angeles was said to
have been triggered by the transformation of the U.S. base into Clark Freeport Zone,
where the Clark International Airport is located.[40]Angeles is home to an emerging
technology industry. Its economy is based also on tourism and gambling. Fields
Avenue forms the hub of the night life industry focused in Angeles.[41] With close
proximity to an international airport in Clark Freeport, Angeles is visited by foreigners all
year round.[42]
Al-fresco restaurants at the backside of Marquee Mall.

In the 2000s, the local government of Angeles rebranded the Fields Avenue tourist belt
as a high-end destination with fine restaurants and luxury hotels and casinos [43][44] The
finishing of roads, such as the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway, has improved trade and
transport.[7][45][46] The project connects the industrial, transport and business hubs of
Pampanga, Zambales, Bataan and Tarlac. The project is crucial to bolstering growth in
Central Luzon.[47][48]
The city has cottage industries producing rattan furniture, coconuts,
and charcoalbriquettes. It also has many thriving export businesses in handicrafts,
metal crafts, toys, houseware and garments.[49] Apart from the Clark Freeport Zone,
industrial areas include the Angeles Livelihood Village and the Angeles City Industrial
Estate.[50]
Call centers present are e-Telecare,[51]CyberCity, Sutherland and IRMC, plus other
American IT industries are major employers as well.[52] The establishment of a number
of shopping malls also fueled the city's economy, including SM City Clark, Robinson's
Place Angeles, Jenra Grand Mall, Nepo Mall, Saver's Mall and the Marquee Mall, next
to the City Hall.[53][54]
There is also a proposal of constructing a new Formula One quality circuit in a 2,000-
hectare lot fronting the North Luzon Expresswaybetween Angeles and Subic Bay, from
which the country may soon play host to prestigious international car-racing events and
possibly bid to become one of the venues of the world-renowned Formula One
series.[55]
Angeles City houses numerous restaurants that contribute to the growth of the
economy. These are located near the malls and mostly in Nepo Quad which was newly
renovated to cater the heightened needs of the population. In 2017 to 2018, with the
fast-growing economy in Angeles City, it was suggested that Gustav has an estimated
gross sales of 10,800,000, Bifs has 9,000,000, Cisan has 8,640,000, Downtown Cafe
has 7,800,000, Dainty has 7,560,000, Ala Creme has 7,200,000, Binalot has 6,480,000,
K Cafe has 4,320,000, New York Supreme has 2,880,000, Grill Side has 2,100,000,
Limone has 1,700,000, 19 Copung Copung has 5,200,000 and Camalig has 3,900,000
on estimated gross sales.

Angeles Heritage District featuring Museo ning Angeles and Santo Rosario Church

Fort Stotsenburg

Fort Stotsenburg, named after Colonel John M. Stotsenburg, a

captain of the 6th U.S. Cavalry, was the location of the
permanent quarters of the American forces in Sapang Bato,
Angeles. It is also known as the "Parade Ground," which
served as a venue for many important celebrations by the
Americans before the Philippine-American Military Bases
Agreement ended in 1991.
Salakot Arch

Salakot Arch is a landmark of Angeles. From 1902 to 1979,

Clark Air Base remained a U.S. territory, guaranteed by the
Military Bases Agreement in 1947. In 1978, the Philippines,
under the dispensation of then President Ferdinand Marcos,
and the U.S. finally agreed to establish Philippine sovereignty
over the U.S. bases and thus the Clark Air Base Command
(CABCOM) of the Armed Forces of the Philippines came into
being, following the signing of a revised Military Bases
Agreement on 7 January 1979. To commemorate this
unprecedented and bold event, the government constructed a
special structure based upon the design of a salakot or native
hat, which soon became a widely recognized symbol of this
renewed Filipino spirit.
The Pamintuan Mansion used to house the Central Bank of the Philippines in Region III.

Old Pamintuan Residence

government with the help of the embassy of France in the
Philippines are funding the restoration of the mansion into the
Museum of Philippine Social History.[56]

in the city. It was built in 1824 by the city founder, Don Ángel
Pantaleón de Miranda, and his wife, Doña Rosalia de Jesus,
and was inherited by their only daughter, Doña Juana de
Miranda de Henson. This house, which is made of high stone
and an ornate gate, nostalgically symbolizes the glorious past
of Angeles amidst the overwhelming onslaughts of
modernization.
Camalig

Camalig was built in 1840 by Don Ciriaco de Miranda, the

Post Office Building (Deposito)

It is a building that was constructed in 1899 for the purpose of

depositing religious statues and carriages of the Catholic
Church, hence the name Deposito. It was also used as the
headquarters of the 11th Film Exchange U.S. Army from 1946
to 1947 and was then used as a jailhouse for recalcitrant U.S.
troops during the Philippine–American War. On 6 February
1967, the Angeles Post Office moved to this building. It is now
the site of Angeles Physical Therapy Rehabilitation Center.

The Santo Rosario Church.

Holy Rosary Church (Santo Rosario Church)

Holy Rosary Church (Santo Rosario Church) was constructed

from 1877 to 1896 by the "Polo y Servicio" labor system, a
kind of forced labor imposed on Filipino peasants by the
Spanish colonial government. It was used as a military hospital
by the U.S. Army from August 1899 to December 1900. Its
backyard was the execution ground to the Spanish forces in
shooting down Filipino rebels and suspects.

The Bale Herencia (Ancestral House) as of 2009.

Bale Herencia (Ancestral House)

Built in 1860, is situated in Lakandula Street corner Santo

Rosario Street. It is a picturesque house with the unsavory
reputation of having been built for the mistress of a parish
priest. The current owners have leased the place to various
restaurants, food stalls, and other businesses like salons and
computer shops. The antique architecture, however, is still
preserved.
Juan D. Nepomuceno Center for Kapampangan Studies

Houses a library, museum of archives and gallery, research

center and theater, put up by the Holy Angel University in 2002

sports and recreational activities having basketball and
volleyball courts and huge space for jogging and other
recreational activities. This is where the famous and historical
"Salakot Arch" is now located. It is being managed by SM City
Clark.

The Museum of Angeles

Museo ning Angeles (Museum of Angeles)

Museo ning Angeles (Museum of Angeles) is a vintage building located at the

prime "Santo Rosario Historic District" across the Holy Rosary Church. This edifice was
constructed in 1922 and served as the Municipio del Pueblo or Town Hall until
1998. The Museum has become the venue of the city's cultural activities be it from the or
government sector. From the time it opened in the year 1999, it has been a beehive of
activity from exhibits, art classes, concerts, venue for performances and climax for
traditional celebrations. In June 2012, the National Museum of the Philippines declared
the Museo ning Angeles as an "Important Cultural Property of the Philippines," the first
cultural property to be given such a distinction. The museum is currently administered by
Kuliat Foundation, Inc.

 Inside the museum is Balikdan(meaning "to look back") which

is about understanding Angeles's past for the present. It
encapsulates coherently our colorful and evolving history, and
enabling us to arrive at our expected destination. The sections
begin with the establishment of Culiat in 1796 and finish with
Mt. Pinatubo's fury in 1991.
  Also within the infrastructure is the Culinarium. Pampanga,
most specifically Angeles, is known as the "Culinary Capital of
the Philippines." This is dedicated to the Kapampangan
culinary arts and science that has emanated from the basic
concept that the preparation of food is a heritage and a legacy
worth preserving.
 Dioramic Scenes of Traditional Life in Pampanga, which is
depicted in ten tableaus, are scenes of traditional town and
country life in Pampanga. These dioramas were created by
fashion designer Beatriz 'Patis' Pamintuan Tesoro using her
Nenita dolls dressed in the most intricately embroidered
Filipiniana outfits, with amazing detailing not only on the
clothes, but also in the accessories and background.

Reynaldo G. Alejandro Culinary Library

The Reynaldo G. Alejandro Culinary Library is dedicated to the

memory of Mr. Reynaldo ‘Ronnie’ Gamboa Alejandro (1941–
2009), who was a leading exponent of Filipino arts and culture.
Some years before his untimely demise, Ronnie donated a
part of his extensive library to the Culiat Foundation in support
of its efforts to promote and preserve the Kapampangan
culinary heritage.
Sex tourism
A consequence of the U.S. bases' presence in the country is the prostitution industry in
the city. Since the early days of Clark Air Base, Fields Avenue in Balibago district is an
area frequently visited by the U.S. servicemen, has been known as a center for
prostitution and sex tourism.[57][58][59][60][61] A BBC article characterized it as "the centre
 of the Philippines sex industry" and dubbed it "Sin City." [62] Elsewhere and in later
years, Philippine travel publications have described it as the "Entertainment Capital of
Central Luzon" and "Entertainment City."[63][64]
