It is dubbed as the culinary capital of the Philippines.  What are the roles of Kapampangan during Spanish colonization? Some historians claimed that Kapampangan were significant in the fight for independence and reform under Spanish colonization.

The distinction is in the language employed. Linguistic Studies of Kapampangan Kapampangan belongs to the Malayo-Polynesian family of languages. In 1946, Zoilo Hilario, a Kapampangan member of the Institute of National Language, advocated for an orthography based on Tagalog.Proposed substitutions include: - Soft "C" with "S" (e.g., cinco to sinku) - Hard "C" with "K" (e.g., carin to karin) - "F" with "P" (e.g., Filipinas to Pilipinas) - Soft "V" with "B" (e.g., viuda to byuda) - "J" with "H" (e.g., lijim to lihim) - "QU" with "K" (e.g., quing to king) - "X" with "KS" (e.g., examin to eksamin) - "Z" with "S" (e.g., lapiz to lapis) The Folklore Pre-Spanish Kapampangan literature survives mainly in folklore.
