Pinatubo Museum (in Holy Angel University)
The Pinatubo Museum was inaugurated on June 14, the day before the 25th anniversary of the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo.
The museum is housed at the University's Center for Kapampangan Studies, and is open to the public, according to Robby Tantingco, director of the Center.
The museum features a mural timeline of the history of Mt. Pinatubo, a mural sculpture by Kapampangan artist Arnel Garcia (see below), and various exhibits executed by researcher-artist Joel Mallari.
"The museum is our memorial to the 1991 event that profoundly altered the personal and collective destinies of Kapampangans," Tantingco said.
"What Kapampangans experienced has no parallel in world history, except maybe the ten plagues of Egypt in the Old Testament," Tantingco said. "We had an eruption, earthquakes, lahars, typhoon, rain of sand, ash and rocks, day turning into night--all at the same time! And it went on for the next five years."
The opening of the museum coincided with the launching of the book Our Common Fault: Stories of Loss and Survival in the July 16, 1990 Earthquake, authored by Lia T. Pangilinan and published by the Center for Kapampangan Studies.
"Last year was the 25th anniversary of the magnitude 7.8 earthquake that left a swath of destruction from Central Luzon all the way up to Northern Luzon," Tantingco said. "The book is our memorial to all those who suffered or died in that earthquake."
The earthquake led to a series of geological events that caused Pinatubo's eruption one year later, Tantingco said. (edited from the Holy Angel University/Center for Kapampangan Studies Facebook Page)

HAU to honor quake victims with new book
Holy Angel University will launch the book Our Common Fault: Stories of Loss and Survival in the July 16, 1990 Earthquake on June 14, eve of the 25th anniversary of the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo.
The book, which is a collection of personal stories by survivors of the magnitude 7.8 earthquake that rocked Central and Northern Luzon in 1990, will be a memorial to the all those affected by the calamity, especially those who lost their lives, according to the book's author, Lia T. Pangilinan.
Pangilinan, a researcher of the University's Center for Kapampangan Studies, travelled to Nueva Ecija, Nueva Vizcaya, Pangasinan, Benguet, La Union and other provinces where the Philippine Fault runs through, to interview quake victims.
The book's launching coincides with the opening of the University's Pinatubo Museum.
"The 1990 earthquake and the 1991 eruption of Mt. Pinatubo were the one-two punch that nearly knocked us out," Robby Tantingco, Director of the Center for Kapampangan Studies, said. "The book honors the victims and survivors of those twin calamities."
The nation marked the 25th anniversary of the July 16 earthquake last year.
Five years ago, the University published Tantingco's Pinatubo: The Volcano in our Backyard which won the National Book Award (Science category).
It was the 1990 earthquake that caused a series of geological events that led to the eruption the following year.

| A guardian angel watches over students |
"Holy Angel University (HAU; colloquially, "Oli") is a private Roman Catholic university in Angeles City, Pampanga, Philippines. Founded in 1933, it is considered the first lay-founded Catholic school as well as the first co-educational Catholic high school.[1]
"With a student population of over 21,000, it is the largest private institute of education and the largest student population in a single campus in Central Luzon.
"Holy Angel University also has a Level II reaccredited status from the Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges and Universities (PAASCU) for its Accountancy, Arts & Sciences, Business Administration, Education, Engineering, Hospitality Management and High School programs, as well as Level I accredited status for its Elementary School and candidate status for its Graduate School.[2]
"The national government recognizes the institution as among the country's top universities in terms of academic excellence when the Commission on Higher Education renewed the university's Autonomous Status. This follows the acquisition of an international accreditation from the International Assembly for Collegiate Business Education (IACBE)-the only school in the Philippines and the Far East to have done so.
"CHED has also declared seven programs as centers of development, namely, Teacher Education, Hospitality Management, Information Technology and Computer Science, Business Administration, Civil Engineering, Industrial Engineering, and Electrical Engineering." (from the Wikipedia page)

The Museum of Philippine Social History (Pamintuan Mansion)
Note: This Listing is still under construction.
Please come back later for a full description and photos.
The Museo ng Kasaysayang Panlipunan ng Pilipinas (Museum of Philippine Social History) provides a glimpse of Filipino social history past and present, offering an exciting panorama of life and culture that uniquely describes the Filipino.
Housed in the former Pamintuan Mansion, the very edifice speaks of "social history." The house was built during the 1880s as a wedding present for the son of Don Mariano Pamintuan and Valentina Torres. That son, Florentino Pamintuan, became the mayor of Angeles in the American period.
In 1899, the mansion housed Emilio Aguinaldo, the first President of the Philippines, during the war with the United States. At this time he celebrated there the first anniversary of Philippine independence, on June 12, 1899.
The building was later occupied by American General Arthur McArthur (1901), housed Japanese kamikaze pilots in 1944, served as an extension of Angeles's municipal hall (located in what is now the Museo ning Angeles), and was an office of the Central Bank of the Philippines.
Today, the Museum is comprised of nine galleries, covering--in addition to a history of the Mansion--Filipino textiles, tools, clothing, architecture, furniture, music, games, mythological creatures, and a typical Filipino dining room and kitchen. Other facilities include an Audio-Visual Room, a Conference Room, and an E-Learning Room.
