Aguman participates in Kalye Kultura
By Mae Sto Domingo
January 25, 2008 -- Joining the International Club of UP's (ICUP) Kalye Kultura event, UP Aguman was proudly able to present the joys of being a Capampangan to the UP community.
This endeavor served as batch Baskal 2007A batch project. With the theme Proud to be Capampangan, they engaged in a cultural presentation by having posters of famous Pampanga trademarks and sceneries as well as free food for the Kalye visitors. Of course, what better food to bring than the famous Capampangan sisig and tocino!
"Masarap," said one of the parokyano, after having a taste of the sisig and tocino. This parokyano was later identified to be MTV Philippines host, Ramon Bautista. He and other guests kept coming back for more serving of the delectable
Capampangan dishes.

Being the only provincial organization in the event, Aguman created a good impact to the visitors. Some even asked about the pictures surrounding the booth -- some of which were the reenactment of the crucification of Jesus, the famous lanterns of Pampanga. They were eagerly entertained by Baskal and other members who helped out in the event.
With the participation of numerous cultural organizations, ICUP's Kalye Kultura was a success. Creamed with the great performances of UP Kontra Gapi, UP Samulnori, the UP Repertory Companu, UP Sikat and the UP Singing Ambassadors, everyone enjoyed the event.
