Nanu ing masaia quing aldong ini? A wa, 440th founding anniversary pin pala.
Cutang cu mu. Itamung Capampangan queti Pampanga, dapat tamu pin uari maging masaya? Masaia ia uari ing mamamate na ing quecatamung Amanu? Masaia uari ing deng alus angang cultural activities, commercialized na?
Masaia uari ing catutuan a reng pipagaralan ta queti mismung Indung Tibuan babaual da la reng anac tamu quing pamangamit king Amanung Sisuan? Papamaraian do pa!
E uari atin nang DepEd Memorandum? Ituru ing Capampangan careng pipagaralan queti Indung Tibuan. Ing cutang, deng materiales uari quing pamanuru, macasadia no ngan? Deng macasadia, istu no man caia? Nung mali la mu rin deng ituru, e uari mas maragul a casalanan ita? Anti da naman sinaup macamate quing Amanung Sisuan.
Metung a talaturu, tiru ne ing sitentang anac ngening abac, sitenta na naman ning gatpanapun. Gamitan de ing amanung meturu anga quing dagul la. Ali da man abalu a e istu ing gagamitan da. Tuneng macalungcut. Tuneng macagaga.
Ngara, enrichment kanu ini. E wari “enrichment means addition of new vocabulary for new concepts, not replacement of old vocabulary by new vocabulary” anang Steve Quakenbush, SIL. Macananu iang pamagpaiaman ning quecatamung Amanu ing pamalitan ta la deng amanung sadiang atin ta naman pala?
“Our language is a very wide language and the words we currently have can be used to form more synonyms to whatever words we want to enrich without us borrowing, by just putting affixes around and in one word you can make so many synonyms...” ana pin Leh Sarjareh.
Ot ali taya ituru deng sadiang quecatamung Amanu? Ot e ta la gamitan deta careng materiales a gamitan quing pamanuru ning Amanung Sisuan careng pipagaralan?
Patse mete ing quecatamung Amanu, mete mu naman ing panga-Capampangan tamu.
Language, Script, and Culture are the things that define a people. If the language dies, the identity dies too.
“Capampangan cu, pagmaragul cu!” Anang caralas cung daramdaman. Anang calaguang sambitlan. Ing cutang, nanu ing gagauan mu para isalba ing mamamate tamung Amanu?!
Ot quing Cebu, Cebuano ing carelang gagamitan? Cadua dang amanu ing Ingles. Ing Tagalog-based Filipino, cacatlu mu quing carelang amanu.
Abalu cu kang Mr. Ernie Turla, “Qng Pangasinan, Pangasinan ing papagamit na ning gobernador da qng capitolyu.” Ali te agawa queti Pampanga ita?! Ana uaring casaquit ipatupad iti quing quecatamung calugurang lalauigan?!
Capanagkatan nang Mike Pangilinan:
“Ngéning Aldó ning Kapampángan, igulísak ta king gubernadór na dápat maging néng Amánung Basál ning Lalauigang Kapampangan ing Kekatámung Amánung Sísuan!!!”
Asnang calambat a panaun, ali la uari Kapampangan deng milulucluc quing quecatamung capitoliu? Nucarin ing carelang lugud quing Indung Tibuan? Ot mengapaburen a miabe quing United Nations report ing Capampangan a metung careng “endangered languages”?
Provincial Board Resolution ing cailangan. Pati na rin Municipal level. Gawan ta ia pin Amanung Basal ning quecatamung calugurang lalauigan ing Amanung Sisuan.
Cumua tamung experts para salese deng materiales a gagauan para gamitan quing pamanuru ning quecatamung calugurang Amanung Sisuan. Ali tamu paburen na micabit quing libru deng e istu. Ali tamu papaten rugu ing quecatamung Amanu ampo ing quecatamung Capampangan identity.
Migising ca caluguran cung Capampangan!
Happy Pampanga Day!

Let us all agree to disagree as long as we all are working towards one goal, saving our Capampangan identity by way of saving our Language, Script, Culture, and History.
