Visiting San Miguel de Mayumo: Meeting the Mayor (Part 1)

San Miguel de Mayumo or Municipality of San Miguel, named after the archangel and the Kapampangan word for sweet. The municipality drifted apart from the tradition of Pampanga and made their own distinct identity.

We were shown around the Municipal Hall. On what seems to be a modernized bahay na bato (stone house) with its stone ground floor and wooden second floor.

The building is cool and yet the people are warm. The staff was there to assist us and our host Architect Ervin Garcia mad eusre everything went smoothly.

Despite her problems with her tonsils Mayor Marivee ” Ivy ” Mendez Coronel welcomed us with a smile and even a whiteboard. She tried to answer some questions and talk about her plans for her city.

Mayor Marivee ” Ivy ” Mendez Coronel aims to help the small and medium business of San Miguel and to also promote tourism for her municipality.

The municipality is at a crossroad leading to many destinations and surely the warmth of its people will not fail those people going to north of Luzon.

Our sweet adventure begins with warm greetings and pleasantries.
