ANGELES,
PAMPANGA:
Angeles City was formerly a barrio of San Fernando. Known then as "Kuliat", the settlers led by Don Angel Pantaleon de Miranda filed a petition on February 11, 1892 for the seggregation of Kuliat from San Fernando. But it was not until December 8, 1829 that "Kuliat" was officially recognized as an independent town inspite of the fact that it only has a population of 661 people. The town was renamed Angeles in honor of its patron and founder and titulars saints "Los Santos Angeles Custodios" (The Holy Guardian Angels). By virtue of Republic Act No. 3700, Angeles was finally inaugurated as chartered city on January 1, 1964. Today, Angeles City known as the "entertainment city" of Central Luzon and the former home of the biggest American Base lies in a threshold of change after being severely affected by the Base pull out brought about the great eruption of Mt. Pinatubo 1991. It is now rising from the ashes by putting itself back to the economic status that it once occupied and dream surpassing feats never before any city or province has ever accomplished. |
