AIN: AGKAS NING QUEKANG YAMUT

Declamation

Translation: ain (gift/ offering); agkas (speak); ning quecang yamut (from your roots)

To speak from your roots is as to speak with the strengths of your foundations rooted
from mother language. As kapampangans, it is innate in us to develop understanding of cultural
values towards our home land by the use of its native language. The mother tongue is as sharp as
a sword that pierces through the body. Kekatang gamitan ing kapampangan king mayap at ali
king marawak.
