Memoria Andante

10/09/2026

Learn and see other sites in Angeles City beyond the historic Holy Rosary Parish - Pisamban Maragul.

Join LightWriters and Memoria Andante in "Beyond the Big Church: Echoes of Old Kuliat" a photo and history walk.

This will be led by Angeles-born culture-bearer and local storyteller Aaron Rivera and transplanted American James Baquet of LightWriters in a one-of-a-kind walk around the historic core of Angeles City.

There's much more here than the museums and churches (though we'll honor those, too):

- The ghost of a vintage railway
- Homes of the city's forebears
- Historic industry and commerce
- And even some scandalous behavior!

Clocking in at just under four kilometers (in four hours or less), this walk will offer brief encounters with over 20 sites, lingering at some of them only long enough to tell a story or two. Inquiring types can then go back at their leisure and visit whatever has piqued their interest.

DATE: September 19
TIME: 8 a.m. (sharp) to about 12 noon
FEE: 500 pesos, payable at the start
START: At the Plaza Angel, Santo Entierro Street corner Santo Rosario Street
END: Santo Rosario Parish Church ("The Big Church")

Reserve your spot now! Contact James at 0915 178 0812 OR https://web.facebook.com/jamesbaquet/

Meet John J. Jurado.

Not every story of Angeles can be found in a textbook. In fact, it is rare to find a textbook with the stories of Angeles in it.

Some are told over coffee at a neighborhood cafeteria, while chugging a b**r in a sari-sari store, perhaps while eating sisig in a karinderya, or across a market stall as the night turns into morning, or in the familiar corners of hole-in-the-wall eateries where Angelenos gather, eat, talk, and live.

A theater artist, cultural worker, and DOT-accredited Regional Tour Guide, John brings a different way of looking at the city: through the everyday lives of the people who make Angeles what it is.

Now, he joins Memoria Andante as one of its storytellers.

Because sometimes, to understand a city, you simply have to stay a little longer, walk a little farther, and listen to the people who live it.

As we say: Walk the streets. Let the city speak.

Sigamos adelante.

We had fun and a photobomber (who had fun in photobombing as well)

The rain came, we never really cared; we walked anyway.

Last night, Angeles welcomed our first guest for Experience Angeles at Night: with a little more rain than we had planned for.

But perhaps that's the beauty of walking with a city: you don't always get to choose the weather, only how you experience it... and we really did.

From the stories of the Heritage District to the streets washed by rain, our first evening was filled with stories, conversations, food, and a guest willing to brave the downpour with us.

Experience Angeles at Night continues throughout August. To join, register through this link: https://forms.gle/hv6AofiALDgatVP39

Sigamos adelante.

Let's dive into the dark hours, literally and figuratively, as the streets have more to say.

After two successful runs, FOR ADULTS ONLY: What Goes Around in Angeles After Dark returns for its third leg.

Every walk is different. The stories remain, but every group brings new conversations, new questions, and new perspectives. Together, we revisit the city's nightlife, from it's foundation to what it is today, not for spectacle, but to understand the people, places, and stories that continue to shape Angeles when the sun goes down.

Rainy Season Promo: PhP 1,000.00 per participant (regular rate: PhP 1,200.00)

This will be on 8 August 2026, Saturday. Tour starts at 05:00 p.m.

Strictly for participants 18 years old and above.
Limited slots only. Walk-in participants will not be accommodated (unless there's an available slot) Registration is required.
