Small two storey museum in the historic center of Angeles City. Showcases the founding families, heritage, war experience and culinary treasures of the city. Must visit.

This museum is majestic! filled with wonders such as paintings, colonial era furnitures, dioramas, artifacts, and so much more. I really loved the view of the Holy Rosary Church at the upper floor of the museum. No entrance fee, so don't miss out on this wonderful museum.

Loved my visit to the museum! The staff were incredibly helpful and the place was spotless. It's a great credit to them that the museum was so clean. Unfortunately, a few high school students left some trash behind, but that didn't detract from my overall experience.

Good place to go if one wants to learn a bit of a history of the city, it’s establishing, founders, etc. There is a small part of it that serves as an exhibition area for local artists. Really nice atmosphere of culture and heritage in the heart of Angeles city.

Visited on a Saturday. As expected, they were open. Without prior notice, I asked for an interview with the museum guide, and he was nice enough to entertain me. We ended up talking about Angeles City and the museum for almost two hours. I hope to visit again soon.

I learned that it used to be the town hall of Angeles. And the church across was where the first PH independence anniversary was celebrated.

Free admission. Helpful guide. Fascinating.

The place is pleasantly nice and spacious. If you're up to read about Pampanga's history be ready to embark on this museum cause there's a lot of reading involved. Lift is still in progress. I hope they can include some sound and videos visuals. Very informative!

Great and informative exhibits. The negative impact on the local people from the Air Force Base operations was eye opening, but the last exhibit detailing the creation of the Special Economic Zone ended the experience on an uplifting note. Pretty empty on a weekday visit and totally worth the 100 peso entry.

The museum was open, but the 4D theater seemed to be under construction and probably won’t reopen anytime soon. The museum itself was full of interesting materials and gave a great insight into the history of Clark. It was also nicely air-conditioned, so we could explore everything comfortably and stay cool inside.

The Clark museum is a small museum across the Clark parade grounds. It's near the cafes and restaurants in the area and there's parking around the area too. You'll need to pay an entrance fee of ₱100 per person. There are clean toilets inside. This museum isn't really big. It's spread across two floors. The ground floor has displays on the Kapampangan people, their festivals and their history and geography of the area as well as info on Mount Arayat AC Pinatubo. Upstairs world be more about the American influence and history with the Filipino people in establishing Clark as well as some info on WW2 with the Japanese.

Contrary to the other review, this museum charges 100 pesos entry fee and another 100 for the 4D theater. The second floor of the museum is more interesting for me because it talks about the history of Clark base and the American presence in Pampanga and Tarlac. But it lacks interactive displays (or broken during my visit). And it needs more engaging curation of exhibits.

It's in great location as it is easy to find and close to other places. Its nice that it has solid theme about Pampanga's history and culture, but many of the displays feel quite traditional and could use some updating. More interactive or modern exhibits would definitely enhance the experience. One thing I felt was missing was a section of Pampanga's well-known cuisine :((

MORE ARTIFACTS, FEWER PERSONALITIES, PLEASE. I personally love museums and visit as many as I can whether here or overseas. I was happy to see that Clark has its own museum. What it has is best described as "a good start". I am sure that with a little more effort, the artifacts and other items on display would improve. We nevertheless enjoyed the current (October 2024) exhibit of miniature art. The sections about Pampanga are also interesting (Exhibits 1 and 2 at the ground floor). I am sure that Exhibit 3 could be more engaging with more photographs and items from the Clark Airbase period to the transition to the new Clark Freeport. What I found least interesting, and you can skip this part altogether, is the section on the personalities leading Clark Development Corporation (Exhibit 4). I do not know if the curator of the museum had run out of things to display, but this section, which features the personalities who were the past and present leaders of the CDC was unnecessary. Or are the platitudes to the bosses necessary and uniquely Filipino? To my mind, more material about the old Airbase and the future of Clark could fill up to the space better. In any case, visiting the museum is worth the PHP 100 entrance fee. If you don't learn anything new then at least you can get a respite from the heat (air-conditioning is good and there are a few couches in some exhibits).

If you're in the Philippines, you have to make a visit to Puning Hot Springs. What a place this hidden gem is. From the greetings from your host at the start, to the wild but adventurous ride on the 4x4 Jeeps and the soothing effects of the hot springs spa and warm sands massage, the Puning Hot Springs hits the target. Your visit is top off with a lunch buffet in idyllic surroundings (or you could have the buffet at the start but I recommend to leave this to the last so you can wind down from your spa & springs experience)

Unique and relaxing experience with its therapeutic hot springs, sand spa treatments, and scenic surroundings. The natural beauty of the lahar it a perfect getaway for anyone seeking tranquility and rejuvenation. Wish they create a process for the waiting queue and guide the people in the line to keep quiet while others enjoy their treatment.

Cost P5500 per person which is expensive but the drive through the terrain was very unique and so was the hot water ponds followed by mud bath. Reach early by 9 am to fully utilise the cost paid. Even if you are a solo traveller or a couple just wait for others to join in. Or they will charge you 5500x4 which is not worth.

This place is beautiful. The price of admission cost is high, however, it's rightly justified. Because only few can afford it the place is safe from uncaring public who has no respect for nature and the environment. There is no sign of vandalism and it is extremely well maintained. There is no trash problem, the amenities are clean, and the service is top notched. Although the scenery and the landscape is extraordinary our experience was further enhanced by the staff. I can't say enough about how good the people that works here. I'm a local here and a proud Capampangan and I was pleased that this place employs our native Aetas. The people that works here are the kindest and the best. From our driver, to the sand and mud baths, to the buffet line. I have nothing negative to say. I believe that this place is more beautiful because of its staff. I found only one staff who didn't smile and looked smug, but he's not one of the Aetas. He was an elderly Tagalog gentleman who looks like one of the bosses. But I'm writing him off as he may be going through God knows what in his life. This one bad apple didn't ruin the basket for me. The total of 1 hr 4x4 thrill ride was amazing. I've gotten on amusement park rides from Disneyland and Universal but nothing could parallel how fun the 4x4 ride was. Not even the Indiana Jones and the Jurassic Park rides could beat the authentic thrill that makes it feel like a true Jurassic Park movie experience, without the deadly dinosaurs of course. The hot spring pools are fantastic. At first I thought, "these pools aren't hot" until I realized that as you climb the highest pools the water gets hotter. It was a perfect setup as each pool offers a different temperature based on the visitor's tolerance. The sand and mud bath experience were new to us so I had nothing to compare it with. But being that this is my first I think it has set the bar high. We loved the experience and again it was all because of the service provided by our Aeta brothers and sisters. I've had some pleasant conversations with many of the Aeta staff and they expressed how grateful they were to be able to have the opportunity to work at this place as they live so close by compared to having to work far in the city. I can tell that the staff are definitely happy to work here and that makes for a great and pleasant customer service experience. Will I return to visit this place again? The answer is a resounding yes without hesitation. I'm already planning to take my other siblings here when they return to visit Philippines. What can I suggest that they improve in this place? Well they could start by serving breakfast as an option for early starters like my family. We arrived early hoping we could have breakfast but was deeply disappointed that they do not serve it. They could also stack up on their souvenir items. They don't even have magnets with Puning on it. They have nice shirts but I collect magnets from every place I visit and this was one place I would love to remember when I look at the magnets on my fridge. If there is one suggestion I can give to future visitors, please respect the place and the locals that works here. Lastly when you ride the 4x4 ask to ride it with the top off, hold on tight and stand. You don't know what you're missing until you ride it that way. Don't just sit in the jeep with the top cover on otherwise you'll be missing out on the best thrill ride of your life.

Best visit for health and thrilling drive in four wheel drive off road vehicle. They provide all safety measures for comfort ride. Good bathing facilities in uphill in natural water in various temperatures. And wrapped in volcano hot ash for five minutes. More adventures . Tasty tender coconut and papaya are available Clean washrooms are available Tasty buffet lunch is also included in this package They provide neat towels for bathing in station one when returning back

If I could give this place 1000 stars I would! This excursion was life changing and unforgettable. The price is $18,800 pesos per off road jeep. My friend and I split the cost. So about $75 usd each. Worth EVERY PENNY! We got there early around 7:30am because we didn’t have a reservation and thought we could be added to someone’s jeep. I’m so glad we ended up opting to tour with just us. We got to experience the hot springs for 2 hours uninterrupted by other tourists. It was like we rental the whole springs to ourselves. We tried all 10 pools in the 3 hours. Next we met the Aetas they are wonderful people that taught us history on their culture. As a Black American I never knew the indigenous people of Luzon island of the Philippines were Black. It was such an enlightening experience sharing each of our stories. The off road jeep ride was so thrilling and exciting riding through the rivers. The sand bath with the volcanic ash was magical and relaxing. I went straight to sleep while they fanned us to sleep. Also they took some amazing pictures of us. The mud massage had my skin feeling so smooth of we showered. The facility provides spa clothes, shower with soap, towels, lunch ( home cook amazing meal), off road jeep ride, hot spring time, sand bath and mud massage. Plus learn about the Aetas! Thank you for this life changing experience. Oh we took a Grab there and request the owner to send a blue cab to bring us back to the hotel since Grabs will not pick-up from there. Grab 400 peso one-way and 700 peso blue cab back. Promise me you will visit if you are in Angeles City (Clark)

The crew did an excellent— the lady in charge at the front office is helpful. Here is my little info: 1st. Book in advance— the tour minimum of 4 pax in 1 group will cost 22,000 (it'll cost 5,500 per pax) 2nd. Bring flip flops, or wear comfy sandals— there's trekking, and drinking water it's hot up there. 3. Have your own vehicle / sundo— difficult to get a ride there. They have a limited selection on their buffet lunch—so don't expect too much. They provide changing clothes, towels and bath soap. My overall experience wasn't bad, I'll probably go back with my own group, rainy season would be better ;)

Good place to picture with life sized airplanes. CR is not clean and only 1 for girls. Playground is all worn and some are broken and not safe for kids. Parking is big for cars,bus and motorcycles. There is a decent coffee shop in the park with aircondition if you want to cool off

You’ll find aircraft here that you don’t usually get to see up close! They look incredibly powerful and cool when viewed from just a few steps away. There’s also a café inside the park, perfect for taking a break if you get thirsty. I saw lots of people enjoying picnics in the shade of the trees — such a relaxing atmosphere!

A small green space where four aeroplanes and a helicopter from the World War II era are displayed. A shaded path surrounds the park, making it a nice spot for a short walk, for example, with a dog. There are two playgrounds for children. There is also a (paid) parking lot and a café.

I personally enjoyed coming here yer the plains are not in the best condition... you only need 1hr really... to wonder round the fue plains that are there... the playground for the kids is broken, and bits or the equipment are dangerous to use, so watch out if ur kids are going to play on the park

Un-loved park with exhibits in poor condition and barely readable information boards It's a disappointing visit really and sad that a better memorial can't be maintained

Awesome and relaxing place.😅🤣😀😂😆😃😁😄🙂🤩

Fun for a short trip. Perhaps best to go when it is cooler as not a lot of shade. Small cafe for refreshments and tons of parking. Nice bit of history with the decommissioned aircraft and a few pics. Otherwise not much to see unless you have a picnic or something.

Nayong Pilipino Clark is a great place to learn about Filipino culture and history. I loved the replicas of famous landmarks and traditional houses. The cultural shows and food at the restaurant were amazing too! A nice spot for families and tourists.

A wonderful place to explore Philippine heritage. The displays are educational and the cultural performances are fun to watch. Great for kids and adults alike!

BEWARE: EASILY THE WORST TOURIST TRAP EVER. My friend and I visited this restaurant due to the high google ratings. We stupidly ignored the warning signs (exterior was derelict, windows unwashed, lights not on hours after opening, no customers, apathetic staff...) We ordered three of their best dishes: crispy pata, binulo rice and pinakbet. The crispy pata was just primarily fatty bone offcuts that were super deep fried and had barely any meat. The binulo rice was adequately displayed but tasted like nothing and was too mushy. The pinakbet was a vegetable dish with shrimp paste on top. It was the best out of the lot, however it was crap by south East Asian standards. The crap meal came to over 1800 pesos which is plain highway robbery. Apart from us, there were only another bunch of poor suckers, being some American tourists. And to top it off, the men's bathroom was disgusting. Truly a shocking experience, I wish I was making this up. Avoid it like the plague!

My first time ever to eat at a kapampangan restaurant that is not good at all. Sinigang sa bangus- obviously added with sugar so its sweet. Impossible for a bayabas to be that sweet. Kare kare has artificial sauce. Crispy hito tasted like there’s no salt. Buro is not even good nor sour. This is surprising, their sisig doesn’t taste good at all. I’m not surprised why around 7pm and there are no other customers. Please don’t waste your money at this resto.

The restaurant is “dadayuhin” worthy. The environment is really quiet. It might be the fact that there’s only 2 groups there along with us. Waiting for the food is not long. It took only about 10 minutes, and we ordered about 7 dishes. The food was really good. Especially their Kare-Kare. Their signature kinamatisan “sinigang’ is not really sinigang as it has no sinigang knorr mixes. So if you order it don’t expect it to be like the ordinary sinigang taste. Overall, really good restaurant. Would eat there again.

Visiting for work and our local team treated us to some local fare. They brought out a variety of local items ranging from seafood to many types of meat along with a great soup. Highly recommend! Try the coconut drink if you get a chance! We also enjoyed the milk fish pictured here.

First time here. Binulo is place for comfort food done really good. What we had was just straight up version of what it is but really good. Nothing fancy. No twist. Just the best of what it is. We were there for our brunch. We are all starving. Service is fast considering we are a group of more than 10. Finished all the food in no time. Also bought pasalubong. Everything I got is also good. I enjoyed it. Yeah! I'm also the one who ate my pasalubong hehe

I loved the experience of serving food freshly cooked from a bamboo. And all the foods we ordered are all high-quality, tasty foods. You get the value for your money. Highly recommended!

Food tastes good. Quick service because they served all of our orders in less than 20 - 15 minutes. When in comes to courtesy well they are not like when you dine in japanese or korean resto where they will greet you upon entering. But its ok still the service is good. The price is not that expensive.

A friend recommended Matam-ih as one of the must-try restaurants for Kapampangan cuisine, and we were very satisfied with our experience. The food was good was good, the rice, plentiful. We ordered this vegetable-okoy dish, which was particularly yummy. It's equipped with private airconditioned rooms with what looks like a tv and sound system for big parties. This was our last stop before heading back home, and it definitely left a good impression.

Huge menu with lots of variety. What we ate were good (I'm not familiar enough with authentic Kapampangan food to assess) and were of huge serving sizes. My favorite was the pesang bulig. We asked the wait staff to put the pako salad dressing on the side but they did not. Overall a good experience. Edit: -1 ⭐ in service because we're missing 1 dish from our leftover bag. :(

After our visit to Clark Safari, we came here for lunch and it was the perfect choice! The kaldereta, fried frog, BBQ, sisig, pistachio cake, and mango shake were all super delicious. Highly recommend this place — we’ll definitely be back!

This was my very first official trip to the Philippines, and I honestly had no idea what Filipino cuisine was really like. I only knew that each region has its own unique flavors. Today, I had the chance to dine at Matam-ih in Clark — and it was truly an unforgettable experience. Every single dish was absolutely delicious. Even a simple stir-fried vegetable dish tasted extraordinary. On top of that, the prices were very reasonable and definitely worth it. What impressed me the most was the people. I must emphasize that every single staff member was genuinely kind, warm, and welcoming — which made me fall in love with the Filipino spirit even more. To make it even more special, Chef Dhai personally came out to greet us, chat with us, and share some laughs. It was such a heartwarming touch. I will definitely come back, and this will be the first restaurant I head to. Thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart. ❤️

The food was not but not that good either beacuse of the service. We were just starting to eat when they started dishing out which turned out to be a bit disrespectful. Also, we were not halfway done with our food when they were already serving the dessert which is an ICE CREAM. Obviously, it was melted after we are done with our food.

Matam Ih Restaurant in Clark is definitely worth a try! 🍽️ They offer a wide variety of dishes, including some exotic specialties, all bursting with the bold and flavorful taste that Kapampangan cuisine is known for. The ambiance is relaxed and welcoming, with options for casual indoor dining in air-conditioned casas or a breezy alfresco setup. 🚗 Parking is also hassle-free, so you can simply focus on enjoying the food and the experience.

Food was superb,Authentic Kapampangan Delicacy 🤍 Place was also wonderful 🤍

The place and service is nice. There is enough space for parking and it’s very homey in the restaurant. I just feel like their “serving” for “to share” is ridiculously unreasonable given the price. We were surprised when the food was served to us during lunch and it was too late to order some more since food takes 25min to prepare. The food was good but nothing spectacular. All these food for almost 7k 😱 I guess I can only recommend this for those who are going for a date and are not in Pampanga for foodtripping.

I brought a foreigner friend here. And it’s a great place to be introduced to Kapampangan cuisine. Food was superb, I normally don’t like buro but here I found it quite delectable with the Pompano. The place itself is an old refurbished house which gives it an authentic Filipino vibe to the place. The interiors are modern, comfy and cozy but stills pay homage to its history. Service was excellent, the wait staff were friendly and gave very good recommendations

Nice resto, I ordered macadamia kare kare and it's super delicious, the pork cubes was tender inside and crunchy skin outside the sauce was quiet tasty as well. You should try it. For the drinks i had fresh mango shake and i also like it it's not sugary sweet just perfect.

Now this is a real treat if you want splurge out on the cash a bit. So many choices to choose from. Going as a big group allows for a tasting menu feel. Restaurant background story outlined in first photo.

Food was underwhelming. Portions were small— also take note that they don’t serve service water. The kinilaw was too fishy. Also found a piece of metal (probably from the scrubber) when I was eating the soup— really dangerous and disgusting. They compensated with cheesecake. Overall, the place is nice and has ample parking space but the food can be better for the price.

I was a bit disappointed with my visit. The food portions were noticeably small considering the price point, and I didn’t find anything particularly special that would make me want to return. One thing that really surprised me: they don’t serve service water, only bottled water. I was under the impression that restaurants are required to offer drinking water to customers, so this felt off. Overall, the experience didn’t meet my expectations. It’s not somewhere I’d go back to.

If you want a historical and Filipiniana/Spanish looking themed restaurant, this is the place to go. It's nestled and hidden like a gem among the bustling commercial area of Angeles City. You can feel a sense of home once you climb up the stairs and instantly feel the coziness of the place. We're lucky to be able to have no waiting time during lunch and was seated right at arrival (15pax). Reservations are advised as they can only accommodate a few people. The cuisine is as expected to be Filipino and highlighting Pampanga's star dishes which are cooked with a twist - such as the Macadamia Kare Kare. And also a fusion from other Asian cuisine like the Salted Egg crispy fried chicken which I loved the most. I only gave 4 stars because the Kare Kare meat was cooked really hard that I spat it out when I got tired of chewing it for long and difficult to swallow. Other food we ordered were delicious and maybe I could advise for the others to mix their order with some soup & veggies to balance your palate from so much oily dishes. Service was impeccable and though I forgot to ask the man's name who served us, he was so quick to accommodate us and respond to our requests. All in all, it is worth a try and I can still say that I can go back to this restaurant to try their other dishes. Gracias amigos!

This is a great spot if you're craving authentic Kapampangan sisig. We came around 3 PM, so it wasn't too crowded, which was a plus. The prices are reasonable considering the quality of the food. Service was quick and efficient. I was pleasantly surprised by how good their pork tocino BBQ was! They have their own parking spot conveniently located at the front of the restaurant.

The place has that classic old-school vibe — like the kind of restaurant your parents used to take you to as a kid. Simple, nostalgic, and full of heart. We ordered the Sizzling Sisig, Tokwa’t Baboy, Kalderetang Kambing (Goat Stew), and BBQ Chicken — and honestly, everything was so damn good! 🤤 The sisig was perfectly crispy and smoky, the tokwa’t baboy came with killer sauce, the goat stew was rich and tender, and the BBQ chicken was juicy with that sweet-salty glaze you just can’t stop eating. If you’re in Angeles, this is a must-try spot!

First meal in Pampanga—and we’re on a mission to find the best sisig! Mila’s tokwat baboy did not disappoint. Masarap! I also loved their fresh salads. The kids enjoyed the BBQ, though I am not a huge fans of sweet-style meat. Despite the long travel, it was totally worth it to try these local dishes! Pasensya na sa photos, we were all too hungry😂

•This branch doesn't disappoint. •Loved the Sisig & Paco Salad combo. Flavorful, delicious, on point. Sisig is well prepared, you can taste Pampanga with it. Probably the best sisig i ever had. I also can't get enough of the Paco salad's dressing. The Tokwa't Baboy is also great. •The service is good. Staff is polite, snappy and accomodating. •We will return definitely to try the other dishes

Visited Mila’s Tokwa’t Baboy and we even got to see the living legend herself, Lola Mila. Sadly, we didn’t get the chance to take a picture, but seeing her in person already made the visit special. The tokwa’t baboy is honestly one of the best we’ve ever had — perfect texture, perfect flavor. But the real steal of the show was the tocino BBQ. It was our first time trying it, and it instantly became a favorite. We’ll definitely go back again to eat there. Worth every visit!

I think we may have caught them on a bad day, or bad time. We came in around 3pm and the food was a bit subpar. The sisig was sizzling and scorching that made some of the meat burned. The quality of the pork was also not very good. It had a "malansa" taste. The same was true with the tokwa't baboy. The tokwa was overcooked it became tough as carton. The saving grace was chopsuey which was yummy and the veggies crunchy. The staff were very attentive and helpful/. There is a covered court across the street where you can park.

The original sisig and pako salad. Great food at reasonable prices. Gustatory delight.

I had a pleasant dining experience, especially with the warm hospitality of one of the managers or owners (not entirely sure). I tried their Kapampangan tasting menu, which was also my first time experiencing a tasting menu. Each dish was personally presented and explained by the chef, adding a thoughtful and intimate touch to the meal. I think this tasting menu serves as an excellent introduction to Kapampangan cuisine, especially for non-Kapampangan foodies eager to explore its rich flavors and culinary heritage.

We had the Kapampangan Tasting Menu! And because there were only 6 of us and 2 children, they accommodated us even tho minimum number of people were 8(this tho was possible because I booked a few days in advance). The food was amazing and my family enjoyed the experience. Being a Kapampangan, it is clean and refined take of the Kapampangan food featured in the menu. We were full by the 6th course! In case you’re wondering if you will have filled bellies. They also accommodated our shellfish allergy. The people who are behind Bale Dutung were also amazing, explaining the inspiration for each dish.

Bale Dutung is more than just a restaurant; it's a culinary experience. The food is absolutely divine, with each dish bursting with authentic Kapampangan flavors. Don't miss their iconic lechon kawali and sisig, their delectable caldereta and seafood kare-kare, and their melt-in-your-mouth tibok-tibok. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, making it the perfect place for a special occasion or a casual dinner. The service is top-notch, and the staff is attentive and knowledgeable. If you're looking for a truly memorable dining experience, Bale Dutung is the place to go. #BaleDutung #KapampanganCuisine #Foodie #FoodLover #CulinaryExperience

Bale Dutung is more than just a place to eat. It’s a dining experience in Pampanga. From their carefully curated course meals to the new for-sharing plates, every dish feels intentional and worth savoring. If you’re looking for something beyond the usual, this is definitely a must-try.

Bale Dutung is a highly regarded Filipino restaurant offering an immersive dining experience centered on traditional Kapampangan cuisine. It serves signature dishes such as Callos, Pasta Negra, Carné a La Parilla, Cochi, Arroz, and a celebrated 6-ways lechon, often presented as part of curated set menus like the Kapampangan Set. The rustic ambiance and personalized service by hosts Claude and Mary Tayag enhance the feeling of a home-cooked meal shared in a cultural setting. Notable acclaim includes recognition from Anthony Bourdain. We went here last November 2017.

Staff are attentive and informative. Ambience was immersive. Food was innovative and creative. Repeat visits are worth it. We only haf the kapampangan menu and we want to go back again for the other menus.

This was the best dining experience we had in Pampanga. If you want a taste of Pampanga, come here. Every sampler was good. What topped it off for me was the Tiboktibok dessert. It was soft, silky and delicious.
