Pampanga, Provincial administrative region in Central Luzon, Philippines
Pampanga extends across 2,002 square kilometers of flat terrain with Mount Arayat rising from the landscape and multiple rivers crossing the territory.
The province, established in 1571, served as the first Spanish province on Luzon Island and later represented one of the eight rays on the Philippine flag.
The Kapampangan language remains the primary method of communication among the 2.4 million residents who maintain their distinct traditions through festivals and cuisine.
Clark International Airport connects the province with international destinations, while an extensive road network provides access to Manila and other major Philippine cities.
The province produces intricate Christmas lanterns called parols, displayed during the Giant Lantern Festival in San Fernando each December.
