Angeles City celebrates 113th Philippine Independence Day
Angeles City celebrated the 113th year of the Philippine independence today, June 12, 2011, at the Pamintuan Mansion witnessed by an unprecedented number of attendees.
The former site of the central bank located at the corner of Sto. Miranda and Sto. Entiero Streets, Pamintuan Mansion was where the first anniversary of the Philippine independence was celebrated by Emilio Aguinaldo, as such, the place is now recognized by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) as a heritage site.
The celebration started with the flag raising ceremony as the people sung the Philippine national anthem, Lupang Hinirang. This was followed by the allegiance to the Philippine flag (Panunumpa ng Katapatan sa Watawat ng Pilipinas).
A short but meaningful message was delivered by Angeles City Mayor Edgardo Pamintuan. He recalled the victory of our heroes to claim the country’s independence, the victory of the EDSA Revolution to gain back democracy, as well as the victory of Angeleños to rise from the devastation of Mt. Pinatubo 20 years ago, and how the common people, the unnamed heroes, played a big role in all these revolutions.

Visita Iglesia in Angeles City
Aside from Halo-halo, swimming and Santa Cruzan in May, another event observed during summer is the Holy Week, which incidentally will start next week.
For our family, the most awaited activity during this week is the Visita Iglesia which we have been doing for three (3) straight years now. A tradition that I hope we could keep until my kids grow up.
For those of you, who like us, want to keep this tradition and may not know about the different churches in Angeles City, here are the list of churches that can complete your requirement for your Visita Iglesia.

2010 Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta:
In less than a week, the 15th Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta will once again be held at Clark Freeport Zone. The said event will run from February 11 to 14, 2010.
Dubbed as a “Weekend of everything that flies,” the event features a number of activities that involved, well, everything that flies – hot air balloons, kites, parasailing, skydiving, ultralights and more.
Aside from the “flying attractions,” the event also hosts a number of booths in what it called as a “fly market” which features products from foods, clothing, gadgets, and other specialties.
The main attractions of the event of course, would still be the hot air balloons which come in different shapes, designs and colors. An opportunity to ride a hot air balloon, I believe is also possible for a fee.
