In my home province, Pampanga, which, for several decades, paid a heavy price for the exodus of its professionals and artisans, there is a cultural rebirth that has been taking place for some years now. It is visible not only in the reconstruction of heritage houses and churches, but also in the revival of artisanship, of local cuisine, and of the arts. There is renewed interest in local languages, geography, and oral history. These private initiatives have been greatly enhanced by the establishment at the Holy Angel University in Angeles City of the Center for Kapampangan Studies. The Center maintains a museum, organizes lectures and workshops, and most importantly, publishes books and a regular scholarly journal and a magazine that can rival the best in Metro Manila’s universities.
