The Santungan ning Kulturang Kapampangan or "Sanctuary of Kapampangan Culture” has been opened in San Fernando City, Pampanga.

The museum, designed to serve as a hub for Kapampangan culture, features a variety of exhibits that highlight the province's rich history and heritage.

Located beside the Pampanga Police Provincial Office in San Fernando City, the museum is seen to boost the province’s tourism efforts.

Inside the museum, visitors can explore dioramas of heritage houses, World War II artifacts, modern works by Kapampangan artists, and traditional cooking tools that reflect Pampanga's reputation as the "Culinary Capital of the Philippines."

"Mahalaga po ang aktibidad na ito para maituloy po ng mga kabataan ang pagsusulong ng pagsasalita ng ating mother language. Responsibilidad natin na maintindihan at bigyan ng importansya ng susunod na henerasyon ang ating mother language," Krizzanel Garbo, Board Member representing Pampanga’s First District, said.

The launch featured traditional Kapampangan dance performances, poetry recitations, and a taste of local delicacies.

"Ito kasi makaka-drive ng tourism natin, hindi lang sa kapwa nating Kapampangan, kundi maging sa kapwa nating Pilipino at banyaga," Mike Castaneda, Pampanga Provincial Tourism Officer, said.
