Angeles City - Philippines
Angeles City draws strength from its pioneer heritage. The city's pioneers braved the elements in 1796 and established what was then known as Culiat. From the rough and tumble of life as the years went on, the people of Angeles rose from the hardships of pioneer life to establish one of the highly urbanized cities in the Philippines.
Angeles City is otherwise known as Luzon Island's entertainment capital. It is one of the popular destinations in the province of Pampanga in the Philippines. The city offers a lot of business opportunities with the induction of the Clark Freeport Zone. This zone also houses an international airport making the city easily accessible.
This huge thrust in economic development was the result of the city's concerted effort to rise above the ashes of Mount Pinatubo's eruption in 1991. Other than this natural devastation, the city's economy was largely affected by the pullout of US army personnel from what was once Clark Airbase. The city's economy was once dependent on the said air base.

Angeles Sights and Scenes

The title of being the entertainment capital of North Luzon is due to the active nightlife in Angeles. Its entertainment district comes alive as the sun sets in the west. This area is lined with bars and clubs where one can spend the night partying. The place has been described as asleep during the day and awake at night on more than one occasion - even though there are plenty of great fun and shopping spots around the city as well..
Other than partying every night, there are other destinations and things to do in Angeles and around in Pampanga. for people who are interested in trekking there are nature trails and campsites in key locations on Mount Pinatubo, which is now dormant. Get to see the attractions of the Philippines in Nayong Filipino, which is an outdoor museum that houses miniatures of the country's tourist destinations.
Historic sights also abound here which includes the Old Pamintuan Residence, which was the seat of the country's first republic under the leadership of the Philippine's first president Emilio Aguinaldo. The old post office building is also a historic site in itself, which was constructed in 1899. The Bale Herencia, constructed in 1860, is currently a banquet hall.

The place also houses duty free shops and a host of local and foreign companies, including business process outsourcing companies. This is also the place in Angeles City to find high-class hotels.
