My mother was born & raised there ...she is from the Alinea family there. Growing up, i spent a few years of my school days there ...although, i was born & baptized in San Antonio I grew up in Olongapo City when my father got employment on base of the U.S. Naval Subic Base.<br /><br />It was indeed a blessing in disguise that you missed your turn to go to your intended destination ...thus, you discovered my province of Zambales that also has breathtaking sea shore panorama. Please go back there again and help us promote our province to tourism.<br /><br />THANKS forall your good work ...not only in promoting a town/province/community and what have you, but specially in helping to photograph & chronicle sites/structures that needs to be saved or preserved.<br /><br />God Bless you, Ivan, and more to you and your group.<br /><br />Sincerely, <br />Myrna S Legaspi<br />Long Beach, California, USAUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17860627817039324658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15647147.post-86571140601500439722007-01-01T16:36:00.000+08:002007-01-01T16:36:00.000+08:00Hi Gilbert, I suggest you visit the Center for Kap...Hi Gilbert, I suggest you visit the Center for Kapampangan Studies at Holy Angel University, Angeles City.

I am a Zamb...Thank you for having visited Zambales. I am a Zambaleno from the small town of Cabangan, the next town from Botolan going to the south. My family from the generation of my grandfather were mostly born in that small and peaceful town. My grandfather's parents(my greatgrandparents) were from Magalang, Pampanga, and that is the reason I sometimes hear some of my folks speak Pampango in our house from time to time when relatives from Pampanga visit us. I take pride too that I have kapampangan roots. I am into research of my genealogy on a not so regular basis, but still continues when I have time to do so. <br /><br />My greatgrandfather was the first Presidente Municipal (1901) of Cabangan when it was separated from its mother town of Botolan. His name was Benito Rivera. He was born in Magalang in 1870 and died in Cabangan Zambales. I do not know why he came to Zambales and if he originally came to Cabangan or Botolan. Sometime in the 1860s there was a pueblo in Botolan named San Fernando de Rivera. I was wondering if you came across on this pueblo in your researches. I have a feeling that this was the place where my greatgrandparents originally settled in Zambales and believd that the original settlers of this pueblo were from Pampanga which includes my greatgrandparents of the Rivera clan of Magalang Pampanga. Unfortunately this pueblo is not in existing now since the late 1800s. The only reference I read of this pueblo is from the baptismal records from the town of Botolan. My greatgrandfather was married to a Limcolioc (Cecilia Dizon Limcolioc born on 1872 in Magalang, Pampanga too). I read in the web sometime ago that there was a Limcolioc who married one of the sisters of Servillano Aquino of Pampanga. Also it is interesting to note that the former mayor of San Fernando, a Pamintuan is a Limcolioc descendant. If you have time could you shed some light to this info or share with me any little info you come across.<br /><br />Thank you very much.<br /><br />Gilbert.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15647147.post-1160362357879909192006-10-09T10:52:00.000+08:002006-10-09T10:52:00.000+08:00Love the photos.

Although I think somebody forgot to include Surfing as a tourism attraction. Surf Tourism is a big industry especially with nearby surf countries such as Japan and Australia. <BR/><BR/>Would be great and a good boost for Zambales tourism if you could promote Surfing in all your PR campaigns. <BR/><BR/>We are operating a surf school in Zambales during the weekends currently catering to Manilians. So far there have been a lot of interest and if only Zambales would promote surfing, we could see that the next Surfing boom can happen here as happened in LaUnion before. Plus, it's only 2.5 hours away from Manila. <BR/><BR/>You can visit our website at http://stonemoney.comzotiumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06010521308958161754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15647147.post-1147604579990541912006-05-14T19:02:00.000+08:002006-05-14T19:02:00.000+08:00I just started blogging a few days ago and stumble...I just started blogging a few days ago and stumbled upon your blogs.

Cruz. We simply need to get all these old houses freshly-painted. It can become a backpack destination (a stopover on the way to Bolinao) if many of these old houses are converted into guest houses. San Narciso is another possibility with its popular surf area. And finally, there is Capones Island. You can arrange day cruises from Subic or San Antonio. Visitors can visit the beaches, the centuries-old lighthouse, or the turtle conservation program, or engage in water sports and scuba-diving. A lot can be done if Zambales unites and does things towards that direction.Ivan Henareshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08952639023631049082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15647147.post-1145636133048891832006-04-22T00:15:00.000+08:002006-04-22T00:15:00.000+08:00Hi:Like you I advocate expiriencing Zambales at it...Hi:<BR/><BR/>Like you I advocate expiriencing Zambales at its best which is summertime.
