Awareness and concern for the city’s unique history and its rich cultural heritage were almost synonymous to non-existent.<br /><br />There were several attempts to address this pressing need for a cultural vehicle. The ‘80s witnessed the birth of the Angeles City Historical Society, who took the bold step to initiate the goal of restoring what was left of Angeles City’s heritage. Only to be met with little enthusiasm and support, its efforts eventually became futile.<br /><br />As time seems to stand still, the need to sow the seed essential to nurture and cultivate the Angeleños’ spirit through a cultural display of heritage amidst the blessings of successful trade and commerce became all the more apparent.<br /><br />A newly revitalized group emerged as many members representing a true cross-section of the city’s populace, members of respected families, business scions, local government officials as well as history buffs organized themselves to create Kuliat Foundation, Incorporated (KFI).<br /><br />Taken from Angeles City’s former town name, “Kuliat,” which was a type of indigenous vine that grew abundantly in the area during its founding, Kuliat Foundation, Inc. was officially registered under the Securities and Exchange Commission in March 1999. With a 50-year renewable usufruct agreement with the city government under its belt, KFI now holds office at the Old City Hall Building, situated in the heart of the Sto. Rosario Historic District, whose recognition as such was initiated by KFI itself.<br /><br />KFI is a non-stock, non-profit organization whose absolute purpose is to preserve the history, culture, and traditions of Angeles City through the development and promotion of historical, cultural, educational, environmental, social and economic plans, programs and projects for the Angeleños. Its Board of Trustees is headed by Hon. Mayor Carmelo F. Lazatin as Founding Chairman with Architect Orencio L. Henson as Executive Director and Mrs. Eloisa R. Narciso as Founding President. Other members of the Board of Trustees are Ms. Hannah Y. Bauzon, Mr. Daniel H. Dizon, Sr., Mrs. Josefina D. Henson, Mrs. Carmen T. McTavish, Mrs. Macrina L. Moreno, Mrs. Rosalie H. Naguiat, Mr. Marc D. Nepomuceno, Mr. Gerry T. Nepomuceno, Mr. Jose G. Paras, Jr. and Mrs. Ramona L. Ty.<br /><br />At present, the major sustenance of the Museo comes from the annual ‘Tigtigan Terakan keng Dalan’ celebration, a two night revelry along the 1 km. stretch of Balibago. This highly anticipated festivity is considered as the lifeblood of KFI for it is the Foundation’s main source of subsidy. Alongside is the creation of Museo ning Angeles (MNA), the premier cultural center and the first living community museum of its kind in the city. Mr. Jose “Jiji” Paras, Jr. serves as the Museo Director.<br /><br />December 08, 1999 witnessed the soft opening of the Museo ning Angeles. Its pilot exhibit was aptly titled “Memorias ning Angeles,” as it featured a collection of photographs, artworks, artifacts and other mementos of Angeles town and its people. The exhibit ran for two months and was well received by both local and foreign residents and tourists.<br /><br />In spite of its limited funds, KFI took a bolder step to renovate the circa 1920 edifice to its former glory, immediately after the opening exhibit. From mid-February to early June, the former government offices that used to be housed in the old municipio were converted to The Museo Shop, the lobby area and the KFI Administration Office.<br /><br />The Museo Shop is now open for business. There are plenty of export-quality product lines proudly made by the Angeleños’ ingenuity and craftsmanship. Ideal and useful souvenir items are for sale at factory prices. A weekly guided tour of Angeles City is also being offered at the shop.<br /><br />The entire second floor metamorphosed to the Main Exhibit Hall. Non-original structures surrounding the building were demolished to add more dignity to its overall appearance. Now the original azotea figures prominently from the outside perspective. As the complete renovation may take years to be realized, KFI’s initiative will attempt to shorten the waiting period by getting the Angeleños involved any which way they can. For the Museo ning Angeles was built by the Angeleños for the Angeleños. A sense of ownership and responsibility towards the Museo should become apparent among the townspeople in the years to come.<br /><br />Other projects of the MNA include the Philippine Independence Day celebration in June 12, 1999. This event was a major spectacle of reenactment of that historical epoch complete with periodic costumes. Unknown to many, June 12, 1899 marks the first and only Philippine Independence Day celebration in the country’s history led by Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo. It was held at the Don Pamintuan Mansion (now the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas Regional Office) here in the city, where the revolutionary Philippine government was temporarily seated then.<br /><br />Another MNA project was the revival of the traditional art of bell-ringing of the century-old campanile of yet another historic landmark, the Holy Rosary Parish Church, located in front of the Museo ning Angeles. Billed as “Pasibayu, Tigtig La Ding Cumpana!”, old folks from the city once again experienced the nostalgia and the enchanting sound of our cumpana, as composed by Spanish Augustinian Friar-Curates starting 1877. While the youth on the other hand, witnessed this momentous event as their forefathers did then.<br /><br />The new millennium’s Independence Day celebration in Angeles was capped by the formal inauguration of the Museo ning Angeles. Intensive preparations was done for its second exhibit entitled “Angeles: Napun at Ngeni.” Educational in scope, this exhibit narrated in pictures and memorabilias the history and evolution of Angeles from its humble beginnings as Barrio Culiat of San Fernando Town to its present status of a first class city of 290,437 as of May 1999.<br /><br />Complementing the exhibit was one of Museo’s permanent exhibit, the Angeles City Hall of Fame. Spectators drew inspiration as they got acquainted to a few Angeleños who have excelled in serving the city and have made significant contributions through their different fields of endeavor, which to this day have yet to be matched.<br /><br />Coinciding with this year’s annual twin fiesta was another exhibit entitled, “Ing Kusinang Matua.” Audience got a feel as they walk through this exhibit of the Capampangan “Kitchen of Yore” in action. This boasts of original cooking utensils and paraphernalia. Pampanga, famous for its culinary arts and cuisine, has always regarded the kitchen as the heart of the home. This story-telling exhibit ran from October 06 to November 30, 2000.<br /><br />Still at its infancy stage, Kuliat Foundation, Inc., alongside its pet project, the Museo ning Angeles, promises a renaissance of the old good ways of the Angeleños, with the youth sector as its primary thrust for values and cultural awareness.<br /><br /><br />(NOTE: Various exhibits and events have been hosted by the Museo from 2000 hence forth.

Located in the oldest historical district of the city, the MnA has become the venue of the city’s cultural activities be it from the private or government sector. From the time it opened in the year 1999, it has been a beehive of activity from exhibits, art classes, concerts, venue for performances and climax for traditional celebrations.<br /><br />Museo ning Angeles is a priceless asset., vintage circa 1920, the building is a museum piece by itself , located at the prime Sto. Rosario Historic District across the Holy Rosary Cathedral. This edifice was constructed in 1922 and served as the “ MUNICIPIO” or Town Hall. The original Town Hall was constructed in 1840, then known as “LA CASA TRIBUNAL” and was a typical “BAHAY NA BATO” with a thatched roof. Its location was about 20 yards to the south of the present structure since the present site was the town “PALENQUE” or Public Market place. In 1855 the market place was razed down by a great fire that endangered the wooden church and the old residences along Sto. Rosario Street, including the “LA CASA TRIBUNAL”.<br /><br />The museum is rightly located at the center stretch of the historical street of Sto. Rosario. While facing the centuries old twin towered Holy Rosary Church, it is flanked alternately by other equally old and quaint ancestral houses and buildings. </div><br /><br /><div align="center"><strong>Floor Plans:<br /></strong></div> <div align="justify"></div><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/16074904@N07/2367182893/" title="Ground Floor Plan 01 by Museo Gallaries, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2194/2367182893_7d837bfae1.jpg" width="400" height="294" alt="Ground Floor Plan 01" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/16074904@N07/2367182903/" title="ScanImage003 by Museo Gallaries, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2001/2367182903_a5a621c3e9.jpg" width="400" height="293" alt="ScanImage003" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/16074904@N07/2367182897/" title="Second Floor Plan 02 by Museo Gallaries, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2399/2367182897_7073d4ab2c.jpg" width="400" height="294" alt="Second Floor Plan 02" /></a>Angeles City Museumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11299172540458449221noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7576854062168431795.post-78632428886455762322007-10-29T13:27:00.003+08:002008-06-19T10:45:51.329+08:00Founding Board of Trustees<p align="center"><img height="179" alt="KFI Founding Board by Angeles City Museum" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3274/2591060709_fc8b4a1d79.jpg" width="400" /></p> <div align="center"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;">Hon.

In general, they produced more exotic, creative and labor intensive cuisine, that includes a wide variety of pastries that distinctly set them apart from other regions. The Pampango cuisine reputation back a long history during the Spanish colonial times. In the early days, the recipes were kept secret by the proverbial selfishness of cooks. In time, the culinary heritage were passed on to Kapampangan kitchens.<br /><br />But as progress marches on, people migrated to fast food outlets and dine-in restaurants. As this evolution continues, people have almost forgotten the culinary tradition passed to us by our Kapampangan forebears.<br /><br />Thus, recognizing that food and its preparation are cultural and historical art, Kuliat Foundation Inc. have developed a plan to establish the CULINARIUM at the Museo ning Angeles (Old City hall Building, Angeles City) to preserve and perpetuate the Kapampangan culinary arts. The facility will be the first culinary museum in the Philippines and possibly in Asia.<br /><br />The CULINARIUM will have three sections, A LIVING KITCHEN, To serve as the area for regular lectures on food, cooking demos, product demos, cooking classes, tasting sessions, interactive activities; OLD DINING AND KITCHEN EXHIBIT, an exhibit of the turn of the century kitchen and dining for the illustrado family that includes various collections of old kitchen utensils and heirloom kept collections; and the CULINARY LIBRARY section that will house<br /><br />the collection of cook books, culinary related books and articles written by food writers. It will be a research and information center<br /><br />This coming October, coinciding with the Angeles Fiesta month, the Kuliat Foundation Inc. will hold a soft launch of the CULINARIUM. Along side will be the inauguration of one of its section, the Culinary Library, A grateful acknowledgment is extended to Mr. Ronnie Alejandro for donating his collection of culinary books, magazines and other printed materials, that tremendously helped the CULINARIUM to start its library<br /><br />Manila born, New York based Reynaldo Gamboa Alejandro learned how to cook from his grandmother. The first Filipino graduate of the New York Restaurant School, he is the author of several books including Philippine Cookbook, Flavors of Asia, Restaurant Design, Philippine Hospitality, Classic Menu of the New York Public Library, Specialty Food Packaging Design, Food of the Philippines, Recipe Book of Filipino Cuisine and Lamesa: The Philippine Table. A former curator of the New York Public Library’s Culinary Collection, he was food director of the Food and Wine Institute. A member of the Culinary Historians of New York, he has a catering service in Manhattan and has lectured on Filipino Cuisine in Europe and in the United States.<br /><br />Kuliat Foundation is encouraging the food afficionados and also its patrons to donate items like turn of the century kitchen and dining furniture, cooking implements, artworks, culinary books and materials. Pledges may be given on its soft launch to be held on October 6, 2007 9a.m. at the Museo ning Angeles building. <p></p><p></p></div><br /><br /><div align="center"><strong>MODEL PLANS FOR CULINARIUM</strong></div><div align="justify"><br /><br /><a title="Floor Plan by angeles gallery, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/15360173@N06/1685741302/"><img height="263" alt="Floor Plan" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2184/1685741302_6fc8a465f5.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><a title="Floor Plan by angeles gallery, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/15360173@N06/1685741318/"><img height="263" alt="Floor Plan" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2013/1685741318_09386ffa4b.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><a title="Floor Plan by angeles gallery, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/15360173@N06/1685741344/"><img height="263" alt="Floor Plan" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2334/1685741344_16bf021740.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /><div align="center"><strong>DONORS TO CULINARY LIBRARY</strong></div><br /><div align="center"><br />Adoracion S.

When he was transferred to Spain in 1877, the house became the property of his mistress-Doña Patricia Mercado of Sto. Tomas, Pampanga with whom he had six children.<br /><br />When Doña Patricia died in 1900, the house was inherited by a daughter-Doña Maria Teodora Gomez who was married to Don Filomeno Santos. She was more popularly known as Doña Mariquita and before the Philippine Revolution of 1896, she opened up a catechism school at the ground floor.<br /><br />In 1901, the same ground floor was rented briefly as the first public school of American “THOMASITE” teachers - Mr. John W. Osborn and Miss Marion Huff.<br /><br />When Doña Mariquita died in 1954, the house was inherited by her eldest son – Mr. Francisco G. Santos who later used a room at the second floor as his office for his insurance and first automobile dealership in town. He also leased out the ground floor as office space for the Bureau of Land Transportation.<br /><br />Upon his death in 1965, the house was inherited by his son – Mr. Francisco “PAQUITING” Santos, Jr.<br /><br />In 1986, ‘PAQUITING” sold the structure to Mr. JOSE G. PARAS, JR. for a considerable amount. Mr. Paras immediately undertook the restoration of the old edifice and brought it back to its former glory.

It was constructed in 1840 by the town founder’s son and the first town mayor of Angeles (1829) – DON CIRIACO de MIRANDA y DE JESUS. The “CAMALIG” was an adjunct storehouse to Don Ciriaco’s “BAHAY NA BATO” (stone house) that was erected nearby also in 1840. It was used to store rice grain and muscuvado sugar in heavy “PILONES” large, wide-mouthed clay jars) from the vast HACIENDAS” of Don Ciriaco. It continued to be used as a granary up to 1960 – a span of 120 years!<br /><br />In 1973, Mr. Arnando Nepomuceno y Henson, a direct descendant of the De Mirandas had the bright idea of converting the “CAMALIG” into a unique “PIZZERIA” that was destined to be the FIRST in Capampangan history to create purely Capampangan PIZZAS dubbed as DOY’S DELIGHT which features slices of distinctively ‘CAPAMPANGAN LONGGANIZA” (local sausages), “EBUN A BURU” (salted duck eggs) with onions and pickle relish on a thin and crispy crust! Since then, up to the present, ARMANDO’S PIZZA of the “CAMALIG” continue to enjoy popularity with its DOY’S DELIGHT and other mouth-watering versions of pizzas.</div><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><strong>BALE CUAYAN – 1892</strong><br />Sto. Rosario St., Angeles City</div><div align="justify"><br /><br />This house was built in 1892, mostly of bamboo, sawali and nipa. It was constructed by Don Mariano Vicente y de Miranda, the grandson of the founder of Angeles, as a rest house of a sick son, Don Manuel.<br /><br />In the late 1890’s, Don Julio Valenzuela – a Tagalog commercial photographer from Sta. Cruz, Manila, rented the ground floor as his first provincial photographic studio.<br /><br />In August 1899, at the height of Philippine American War, the house was used as a barrack by the American invaders, who ripped-off all its sawali windows, attached wooden legs on them and used as sleeping cots.<br /><br />In 1902, a son of Don Mariano – Don Jose P. Henson organized the first brass band of Angeles, which was put under the baton of Prof. Regino Hererra, who practiced in the house regularly. In 1909, the “BANDA DE ANGELES” won the First Prize in a competition at the Manila Carnival. The winning piece was “CREME DE LA CREME”<br />By Tobani.<br /><br />The ownership of the house was transferred to Doña Carlota Concordia Henson y Leon Santos in 1909, a sister of Don Jose, when she married Don Jose Ma. Fermin Ganzon y Gonzales.<br /><br />During the Japanese occupation, the house served as quarters for Japanese invasion forces in January 1942 and again as officers’ quarters of the Imperial Japanese Army from October 1944 to January 1945.<br /><br />This house also served as the provincial art studio of Prof. Vicente Alvarez Dizon of the University of the Philippines College of Fine Arts and of Yale University, U.S.A., whose painting “AFTER THE DAY’S TOIL” won first place in 1939 at the Golden Gate International Exposition and World’s Fair in San Francisco, California. 79 countries participated in this IBM – sponsored painting competition, Salvador Dali of Spain won the second prize.<br /><br />When Doña Carlota died in 1964, the house was inherited by her adopted daughter – Mrs. Ines Lutgarda Henson y Saide Vda. de Dizon.

Rosario St., Angeles City</div><div align="justify"><br /><br />This house was constructed in 1824 by Angeles founder – Don Angel Pantaleon de Miranda, and his wife, Doña Rosalia de Jesus.

Naguiat, Jr. and are the present occupants of the “BALE MATUA” ( Old House ) – a typical 19th century “ BAHAY NA BATO “ The Founder’s House is the oldest edifice in Angeles City.</div><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><strong>THE HOLY ROSARY PARISH CHURCH – 1896</strong><br />Sto. Rosario St., Angeles City</div><div align="justify"><br /><br />Construction of this edifice began in 1877 on a parcel of land donated by a grandson of the town founder-Don Mariano Vicente Henson y Miranda and his wife, Doña Asuncion Leon Santos. The workers were residents of the town and were made to work under the Spanish Government’s “POLO y SERVICIOS” – a form of forced labor that required all native males, from ages 16 to 60, to perform manual work for free for 40 days each year and providing their own daily food. Also, for a period of almost 20 years during the construction period, all villages of Angeles were required to provide 200 chicken eggs a month per village, as a cohesive ingredient in the mortar mixture for “cementing” the stone blocks of the edifice. The stone blocks were individually hand-hewn and were quarried from Bo. Mancatian, Porac, Pampanga. The thick galvanized iron roofing was imported from England.<br /><br />The church construction was initiated by the Spanish Agustinian parish priest M.R.P.F RAMÓN SARRIONANDIA, O.S.A., who hired a Spanish builder from Manila, an architect named Don Antonio de la Cámara. Don Antonio’s church design was Central European Romanesque and the height of the bell towers is 35 meters. The construction was completed on 12 February 1896 and at that time it was the tallest church building in the province of Pampanga. In 1897, Spanish soldiers used the church grounds at the back as execution area for condemned Filipino rebels.<br /><br />During the Philippine Revolution, the belfries were used as watch towers by Filipino revolutionists, especially by Gen Venancio Concepcion in 1898 and by Gen. Antonio Luna and Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo in 1899. When the U.S. Amy Gen. Arthur MacArthur captured Angeles in August 1899, he converted the church into a military hospital. Again, the belfries served as watchtowers and GATLING machine guns were installed for added protection. The Americans finally vacated the church in 1904 and moved to Fort Stotsenburg in Bo. Sapangbato.<br /><br />During World War II, in the early 1942, Japanese invasion forces briefly used the church as motor pool and garage. It also served as a stable for Japanese Army war horses.<br /><br />At 9:30 a.m. on 07 January 1945, during a massive American Air raid on Japanese installations in Angeles, and Clark Field, An American “MITCHELL” B-25 bomber flew low over Angeles after being hit by Japanese anti aircraft cannons at Clark Field. Out of control, the smoking bomber plowed through the roof of the church then crashed into a big fireball in front of the Holy Angel Academy nearby, killing it’s entire crew of six. The ill-fated bomber, named “SAG HARBOR EXPRESS” was piloted by a 2nd Lt. Arthur P Browngardt, Jr., a native of Sag Harbor, Long Island, New York, U.S.A.</div><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><strong>HOLY FAMILY ACADEMY</strong><br />Sto. Rosario St., Angeles City</div><div align="justify"><br /><br />The original structure was constructed around 1880 and was intended as the “CONVENTO” of the parish priest. It is connected to the base of the north belfry of the church, and the priest could enter the church through the doors in the first and second floors.<br /><br />On august 15, 1918, the native parish priest, Rev., Fr. Juan Almario moved out of the “CONVENTO” because native Agustinian nuns converted it into the “COLEGIO DE SAGRADA FAMILIA”, coming from a smaller school building beside the church built for them in 1910. This move was due to a bigger enrolment. The parish priest was provided with a new residential house as his “CONVENTO” on what is now Funeraria Angelina. The Agustinian nuns were still using the Spanish language as their medium of instruction and using Spanish books.<br /><br />In the early 1920’s, the Bureau of Education mandated that English become the medium of instruction in all school levels nationwide. Since the Agustinian nuns knew no English, newly arrived Benedictine German nuns who spoke English fluently took over the school and renamed it HOLY FAMILY ACADEMY on 15 June 1922.<br /><br />Around 1934, the Benedictine nuns hired a local architect-builder and had the school renovated and had a new façade design. The Angeleño architect was Mr. Teofisto Ganzon y Aquino – a nephew of Gen. Servillano Aquino.<br /><br />In early January 1942, during the opening days of the Japanese land invasion, Imperial Japanese Army Troops briefly used the school as barracks. Again, in late January 1945, an Imperial Japanese Army Tank Battalion known as the “YANAGIMOTO BUTAI” made the school as Command Post, before attacking the American liberation forces invading Clark Field.<br /><br />In 1989, the HOLY FAMILY ACADEMY inaugurated its high school annex at Brgy,. Cutcut, due to a bulging school population.</div><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><strong>THE DEPOSITO</strong><br />Sto. Rosario St., Angeles City</div><div align="justify"><br /><br />The “DEPOSITO” (warehouse) was constructed in 1899 by Don Jose Pedro Henson y Leon Santos – a great grandson of the town’s founder. The building was used as a depository of costly silver-gilt religious floats and statues of Jesus and other saints +owned by the Henson clan, in between the town’s several religious festival processions.<br /><br />In August 1899, at the height of the Philippine-American War, when the Americans captured Angeles, the “DEPOSITO” was commandeered by the U.S. Army and converted it as a military jail for errant U.S. soldiers.<br /><br />It was in this building that the then notorious U.S. Army ex-soldier, Pvt. George A. Raymond, was jailed after his capture and while he was on trial by a U.S. Military Commission. He was later found guilty of murder, robbery and rape, and was sentenced to death by hanging. Minutes before he was executed in public at the Angeles Town Square at Bo. Talimunduc ( now Brgy. Lourdes Sur ), Pvt. Raymond requested to be baptized in the Roman Catholic faith. The then town parish priest, Padre Vicente Lapus climbed up the gallows and baptized the condemned man which he named “DIMAS” ( St. Dimas ) in honor of the biblical Good Thief who stole heaven at the last moment of his earthly life. Pvt. Raymond was destined to be the first and last American in the Philippines to be executed in public. He was hanged at afternoon on 27 Sept. 19901.<br /><br />In 1904 the Americans vacated the “ DEPOSITO” having moved to Camp Stotsenburg in Bo. Sapangbato, Angeles , Pampanga.<br /><br />From 1945 to 1946, during the American Liberation of the Philippines, the U.S. Army 11th Film Exchange rented the building.<br /><br />From 1947 to 1953 the U.S. Army 1129th Military Police Co. used the building as its town jail.<br /><br />From 1954 to 1965 the 13th U.S. Air Force used it as its town jail, or the 13th Air Force Police Sub-Station.<br /><br />From 1967 to 1978 the building was rented by the Bureau of Post as the Angeles Post Office.<br /><br />From 1989 to present, the owner – Mrs. Evansuida Nepomuceno y Henson Vda. de Lim gave permission to his son, Dr. Roy Lim, M.D. to convert the “DEPOSITO” into the Angeles City Rehabilitation Center - the first physical therapy clinic in the City.</div><div align="center"><br /><br /><strong>Suggested itinerary for Heritage tour of Angeles City<br /></strong></div><div align="align left"><br />10:00am - 11:am<br />PAMINTUAN MANSION <br />(The seat of the short lived Philippine Independence where the First Anniversary of our Independence was celebrated)<br /><br />11:00am - 12noon <br />CENTER FOR KAPAMPANGAN STUDIES <br />(A center that promotes Kapampangan heritage and culture)<br /><br />12:00 - 2:00pm <br />LUNCH AT BALE HERENCIA <br />(built in 1860 by carpenters from Ilocos Sur.
