RolRen’s Lantern and General Merchandise
Address: Del Pilar 11 Th Avenue San Fernando, Pampanga
Phone: (045) 963 1710
One of the main highlights of the tour is at RolRen’s Lantern and General Merchandise. Mr. Rolando Quiambao, known as the Philippines’ Parol King for making Christmas even brighter not only in the City of San Fernando but also in some parts of the world, He shared something about the parol-making industry in San Fernando.
 |
| Mr. Rolando Quiambao, known as the Philippines’ Parol King. Behind him is the sparkling parol which lighted up his life and countless homes. |
Mr. Rolando Quiambao's wife is Mrs. Renita Quiambao, He bagged the grand prize for the Giant Lantern Festival competition in Pampanga four times making him a hall of famer may maipagmamalaki at talaga namang maipagmamayabang sa Pampanga.
Most of their products sold in malls and specialty stores are a bit pricey, but when you go straight to the factory, you can buy them at a very affordable price.
RolRen’s Lantern and General Merchandise has already established its reputation for being one of the largest parol suppliers in the Philippines. It has already embarked on exporting its products to Canada, USA, and select European countries.
Mr. Rolando Quiambao demonstrated a simple way on how to make and design a parol with few materials for decoration.
Bloggers were given a chance to make our own parol and had a simple contest for the most unique style. I must say it isn't easy making one because of course, you gotta be artistic and well full love because as of me what came in mind is that whatever output I make is for my family and it made me become one of the winners out of three. Now that made me feel so proud of my simple piece and happy because Mr. Rolando Quiambao had appreciated my work....
Trivia
- After the Mt. Pinatubo blast, Mr. Rolando Quiambao was commisioned by the City Mayor to adorn the city's lamp posts which gave hope to the Pampaguenos.

Capitol Drive, San Fernando, Luzon, Philippines
San Fernando City station or simply San Fernando station is a defunct railway station of the PNR Northrail line of Philippine National Railways. It is situated San Fernando, Pampanga. Historically, the old PNR train station was the site of a stopping place for Filipino and American prisoners of war during the Bataan death march in 1942. The station is a historical landmark in the City of San Fernando in Pampanga, the Philippines. The station has been closed since the ending of northbound rail services by Philippine National Railways over twenty years ago.

The station is a historical landmark in the City of San Fernando in Pampanga, the Philippines. The station has been closed since the ending of northbound rail services by Philippine National Railways over twenty years ago.
The station will be one of the seventeen stations on the Manila-Clark Railway System or North-South Commuter Railway, which uses the old PNR right of way. It will once again connect Central Luzon and Metro Manila by rail.
The station was inaugurated by Governor-General Eulogio Despujol and Bernardino Nozaleda, the Archbishop of Manila, on February 23, 1892. On June 27, 1892, José Rizal disembarked from this station to meet some recruits for La Liga Filipina and again the next day en route to Bacolor.
On April 1942, during the Bataan Death March, the station served as the ending point for the 102-kilometer (63-mile) march from Bataan, from which Filipino and American prisoners-of-war were carted to Capas in Tarlac en route to their final destination, Camp O'Donnell. It was closed, along with all other PNR Northrail stations, in 1988, when the North Main Line ceased its services.
The museum features a lot of old photos during the war even different memorabilia shared by Filipino and Americans during the colonial period.
San Fernando Train Station Museum is not the just ordinary museum that you go to it is a Museum of our own history our ancestral. I heard that there are plans of renovating and or furthermore taking off of the train station which I beg to disagree no matter what it is part of the worlds past biggest battle experience that alone is a big proof of its worth as a Museum of the town.

Matam-ih Kapampangan Cuisine Restaurant
Lot 1-D, M.A., Manuel A. Roxas Highway Clark Freeport Zone, Pampanga
Owned by the Rodriguez family of Capas, Tarlac, led by Mayor Antonio Rodriguez Jr. and managed by son Antonio ‘Third’ Rodriguez III, Matam-ih Kapampangan Cuisine Restaurant serves authentic Kapampangan cuisine and stands right in the heart of the Clark Freeport Zone. The servers are Aetas and you will be serenated while enjoying your meal.
But what does Matam-ih Kapampangan Cuisine Restaurant serves in their menu? One of the widest selections of Kapampangan cuisine, from the regular dishes to the more exotic fares. I myself got the best time in tasting and really enjoyed eating for the first time exotic food such as from crocs to frog to beetle or should I say better known as camaru. They also offer certain dishes that can only be found in the restaurant, now its really a must visit restaurant whenever you go to Pampanga or own yourself a property at Northpine Land.
 |
| Betute Tugak (stufffed fried native frog)
Batute (stuffed frog) is one of the most famous among Kapampangan exotic dishes. Back in the day, while farmers cultivate their land, their children would catch frogs for fun, which has become a family tradition.
|
 |
| Pritong Adobong Kamaru |
 |
| Croco Wali Deep fried croc meat |
 |
| Kare-Kare |
 |
| Daing na Bangus |
 |
| Laing |
 |
| Pork Sisig
An appetizer which originated from the food capital of the Philippines - Pampanga, Sisig is often considered as a main dish by most Filipinos. The original Sisig is composed of chopped pig's ears and face mixed with chicken liver, calamansi and onions. Nowadays, several versions are available in the market ranging from the original to healthier ones using fish or tofu.

Matam-ih Kapampangan Cuisine Restaurant is a pavilion-type open-air restaurant that showcases indigenous arts and crafts and Hispanic heritage in the form of antique-style wood and steel furniture and décor, the main hall features a one-of-a-kind birdcage chandelier, as well as a giant fish trap called Balisasa.
There's a six main dining hall area safari-style tents or pavilions named after the major Aeta sitios of Capas and serve as function rooms such as:
- Sitio Manibukyot
- Sitio Tarukan
- Sitio Taliktik
- Sitio Pilyen
- Sitio Yeyang
- Sitio Manabayukan
The restaurant is huge there's so much seating space in the main dining area and they have a gazebo seating area.
Matam-ih (which means ‘delicious’ in the Aeta dialect) an authentic Kapampangan cuisine, and the Aetas of Capas, Tarlac, would be a major part of it. Servers are mostly members of the Aeta providing them with housing, clothes, food and transportation allowance, among others.
A sumptuous dinner at Matam-ih Kapampangan Cuisine Restaurant is the best way to end the rainy but one of the happiest and memorable blogger's tours for the record once again!
Due to the persistent rain, we didn't get the chance to visit the “Sunken Shrine of Bacolor” or the historic Archdiocesan Shrine of the Our Lady of Lourdes – who survived the wrath of Mount Pinatubo in 1991. As well as the famous L.A. Bakeshop yet the Northpine team made it possible for us to take home some goodies from L.A.Bakeshop's best seller Cheese bread. But because once I got home I immediately prepared a hot cup of coffee perfect for the rainy evening while looking at all the photos that were taken during the tour and I didn't notice that I almost have eaten the whole box and forgot to even take a photo. It was so good, do visit L.A. Bakeshop whenever you go to Pampanga.
Thank You to all the staff of Northpine Land, Inc., and to Ms. Myla Miranda-Cammayo for a such a good job handling the Pampanga Bloggers Tour v2 for this year 2018. Liking for the next tour. ^_^
