San Fernando suffered a near-fatal blow when typhoon Mameng mobilized lahar from the slopes of Mt. Pinatubo in 1995, which flooded the town’s commercial and historical district with pyroclastic material (City of San Fernando) named in honor of former Pampanga Governor Bren Z. Guiao. 1990 President Cory Aquino inaugurates the Paskuhan Village, the first Christmas village in Asia and the third of its kind in the world. 1991 On June 15, San Fernando, like most towns in the Kapampangan Region, is covered with a thick layer of ash, pumice and sand from the erupting Mount Pinatubo. But the worst is yet to come. 1995 Shortly after midnight on October 2, heavy rains caused by Typhoon Mameng mobilize pyroclastic deposits on the slopes of Mount Pinatubo, inundating barrios Sto. Niño, San Juan, San Pedro Cutud and Magliman; the town, led by Mayor Rey B. Aquino, rallies the people to build a dam to protect the rest of the town from succeeding lahar flows. 1998 The Sinukwan Festival is held for the first time in San Fernando. 1999 San Fernando receives the Galing Pook 32 Award for its project “Breaking Financial Barriers.” 2000 House Speaker Arnulfo Fuentebella and Senate President Aquilino Pimentel sign the approved city charter of San Fernando on December 4 and 13, respectively. 2001 On February 4, the town becomes a component city following the ratification of Republic Act 8990 authored by Rep. Oscar Rodriguez during a plebiscite held the previous day. Dr. Rey Aquino becomes the first city mayor. Reference: “Brief History of the Town of San Fernando” by Mariano G.

Romeo Cabusao VALENTINE’S DAY SPEECH BEFORE LABORERS AND FARM TENANTS IN SAN FERNANDO FLANKED BY SOCIALIST LEADER PEDRO ABAD SANTOS AND JUSTICE SECRETARY JOSE ABAD SANTOS, PRESIDENT QUEZON ALTERNATELY PRAISED AND SCOLDED THE PEASANTS, CAJOLED AND PLEADED WITH THEM, PROMISED PROSPERITY AND MADE THEM VOW TO RENOUNCE VIOLENCE Pedro Abad Santos was 10 years older than his brother Jose but it was Jose who would achieve greater prominence because he became the country’s Justice Secretary and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and suffer a high-profile martyrdom during World War II. Pedro was marginalized from civil society as he pushed farther and father left in his political ideology. While both of them had the same mission in life, which was to improve the condition of the masses, they held op- Jose Abad Santos posite views on how to attain this. Thus, Pedro and Jose Abad Santos endeavored to impose on history their separate ideologies, representing revolution and evolution, respectively, as means of securing change in the existing order. Pedro founded the Socialist Party of the Philippines in 1932; two years later, together with his assistants Agapito del Rosario, Luis Taruc, Lino Dizon and others, he reorganized the Aguman ding Talapagobra ning Pilipinas (ATP) into the Aguman ding Maldang Talapagobra (AMT), similar to the general workers’ unions in Spain, Mexico and France, which advocated the expropriation of landed estates and friar lands, farmers’ cooperative stores and the upliftment of peasants’ living conditions. On November 7, 1938, during the anniversary of the Russian Bolshevik Revolution, the Partido Komunista ng Pilipinas (PKP) and Pedro Abad Santos’ Partido Sosyalista ng Pilipinas (PSP) held a convention at the Manila Grand Opera House where they declared their merger as the Communist Party of the Philippines. Crisanto Evangelista was elected president, with Pedro Abad Santos as vice president and Guillermo Capadocia as secretary general. In those few remaining years before World War II, organized peasant uprising was sweeping the Kapampangan Region. To quote Justice Leopoldo Roviera, Pampanga had become “a Little Russia where it is not the voice of justice but jurists that prevail but the voice of Lenin and Stalin.” Luis Taruc wrote that Don Perico (Pedro Abad Santos) was a Marxist who instructed peasants to defy landowners by keeping all the harvest, and promised legal assistance if sued. Meanwhile, his younger brother Jose Abad Santos was a rising Pampanga was on the verge of a peasant revolt when Philippine President Manuel L. Quezon (top, left) came to San Fernando and spoke before a crowd of farmers and farm tenants, with Socialist leader Pedro Abad Santos (top, right) sharing the stage with him 33 Florence Horn Kasaysayan
