http://www-rcf.usc.edu/~camiling/Spanish.html

Extractions: by Alejandro S. Camiling, CPA with Teresita Z. Camiling, BSE, MA About fifty years after the arrival and death of Ferdinand Magellan in the Philippines, the Spanish conquistadores heard of the Kapampangan progressive civilization when their conquest of the Maynilad (Manila) and Tondo kingdoms was practically accomplished. These Spaniards in their search for food, spices and other forms of wealth, came upon the Kapampangan people with a rich culture, traditions, arts and an alphabet of their own. The Kapampangans were described then to be the most warlike and prominent ethnic group in the Philippines. To defend themselves from Spanish invasion and from other invaders, Kapampangans fortified the mouths of the rivers leading to their territories. Their arsenal included bows and arrows, spears, swords, shields and cannons made by local blacksmiths such as the famous Pande Pira and his sons of Apalit. Their land and body of waters were then the most productive in the Philippine archipelago. Because of what they were, Kapampangans were treated differently from the rest of the Philippine people. Kapampangans, particularly the principalia, were accorded with privileges and some sort of exemptions from taxation. Hispanization of the Kapampangan region had its historic commencement on December 11, 1571 when it was founded as a province

A school visit by staff from the Consulatefs Public Relations Section can further studentsf knowledge of the language and culture of Japan. Japanese language need not necessarily be part of the curriculum, however, as the Consulate also visits schools covering Japan as a general topic. The Consulate has a variety of traditional artifacts, posters, slides and videos designed to give students a vivid impression of life in Japan. When planning a school visit, Consulate staff members consult with teachers to decide on suitable topics for the visit, so that it can be tailored to their requirements as much as possible. The content of a school visit may be designed to consolidate work that students have done already in class or to act as a catalyst for a new area of study.
