as Amánung Sísuan, meaning "breastfed/nurtured
language".

7. Kapampangans love the good life. They can’t last a week without “malling,” movies and
mahjong. A birthday, an anniversary, a promotion—there’s always an excuse to party and a
justification for spending all their savings. This joie de vivre, this utter lack of proportion
between work and play, has put them in stark contrast with the thrifty Ilocanos, whom God has
only given a sliver of craggy land to work on while Kapampangans wallow in fertile fields and
rivers teeming with fish. Kapampangans’ devil-may-care attitude is the reason hospitals,
diagnostic clinics and dialysis centers thrive in Pampanga.
Kapampangans are hard to understand, and harder to live with.
The contradictions that shaped their land and history — the
cycle of feast and famine, the tension between loyalty and
rebellion, feudalism and peasant unrest, Church tradition and folk
Catholicism, and the presence of the largest US military base in
the hotbed of Communist insurgency — have made
Kapampangans truly unlike any other people in this country.
