I live in the same town--Mabalacat (weekends, at least!). I am delighted to hear you had a swell time. There's a Caragan Festival (sort of like a street ati-atihan) in Mabalacat, so the feasting continues...<BR/>Luid ka!<BR/>AlexAlex D.R.

I had not been back since 1971. And our daughter had never been there. We met dozens of cousins, titas, titos, and other remote relatives... and were able to eat lots of pinakbit, palabok, karikare, pancit, adobo, lumpia, and of course, nasi! Manyaman!<BR/><BR/>I used your blog as "study material" before we went.
