Kapampangan people
The Kapampangan people or Pampango are a Filipino ethnolinguistic group native to and the sixth largest ethnic group in the Philippines, numbering about 2,890,000.
Overview
The province of Pampanga is traditional homeland of the Kapampangans. Once occupying a vast stretch of land that extended from Tondo to the rest of Central Luzon, huge chunks of territories were carved out of Pampanga so as to create the provinces of Bulacan, Bataan, Nueva Ecija, Aurora and Tarlac. As a result, Kapampangans now populate a region that extends beyond the political boundaries of the small province of Pampanga. In the province of Tarlac, the indigenous population of Tarlac City and the municipalities of Bamban, Capas and Concepcion are Kapampangans, while the municipalities of Victoria, La Paz, have a significant Kapampangan population. In Bataan, Kapampangans populate the municipalities of Dinalupihan and Hermosa, and the barangays of Mabatang in Abucay and Calaguiman in Samal. Kapampangans can be found scattered all across the southern barrios of Cabiao in the province of Nueva Ecija and in the western section of the province of Bulacan. Kapampangan enclaves still exist in Tondo and other parts of the National Capital Region. Kapampangans have also migrated to Mindoro, Palawan and Mindanao and have formed strong Kapampangan organizations called aguman in Davao City and General Santos City. Agumans based in the United States and Canada are active in the revival of the Kapampangan language and culture.

Pumping
by: Patti SmithOh, I see you stare, spi-pi-pi-pi-pi-pi up there and ho
Oh, into the center of my brain, and baby come, baby go
And free the hurricane, oh, I go into the center of the airplane
Baby, gotta move to the center of my pain
And my heart starts pumping, my fists start pumping
Upset, total abandon, you know I love you so
Total abandon, ooh, walla, walla walla
Oh, I see you stare spi-pi-pi-pi-pi-pi up there and ho
Oh, into the center of my brain and baby come, baby go
And free the hurricane, oh, I go into the center of the airplane
Baby, gotta box in the center of the ring
And my heart starts pumping and my fists start pumping
Upset, total abandon, you know I love you so
Total abandon, ooh, wah
Oh, I go into the center of the airplane
Baby gotta go to the center of my brain
And my heart starts pumping, my fists start pumping
Got no recollection of my past reflection
So I'm free to move in the resurrection
And my heart starts pumping and my fists start pumping
My heart pumping
My heart pumping
My heart pumping
Coming in the airport, coming in the sea
Coming in the garden, got a conscious stream
Coming in a washroom, coming in a plane
Coming in a force field, coming in my brain
And my heart, my heart
Total abandon, total abandon, total abandon
Total abandon, total abandon, total abandon
Total abandon
Oh, I go into the center of the airplane
Oh and I move to the center of my brain
