Kapampangans todayare known for their pride, vanity, culinary skills, loud voice, love for thegood life and entrepreneurial skills. But what was their reputation back in theearly days? Bergano's Kapampangan dictionary (1729) provides us with clues:*********KAPAMPANGAN VANITYOur female ancestors were magale ("wearingformal dresses outside proper occasion") while our male ancestors were maticas("good looks, good form in size, waist, figure, shape of legs andcalves"), masanting ("handsome"), maticmus ("goodfigure"), matingquis ("well-dressed"). You can differentiatebetween a Tagalog and a Kapampangan by putting them on a slippery road: theTagalog falls while the Kapampangan "very, very rarely falls,"according to Bergano.

KAPAMPANGANPERFECTIONISMOur ancestorsalways insisted on accuracy and excellence, were never satisfied, for example,with grazing a moving target, unlike most Filipinos. "The Pampango,"Bergano said, "would say, E me tiran, atambisan mea mu ("Youdid not hit it, you only grazed it"). Our ancestors had many synonyms forperfection and excellence: sampat ("beauty at itspeak;" "the greater perfection"), pauit ("excellence"),liclic ("excellence in writing, debate, running")

KAPAMPANGANBRAVERYBergano wrote, Sagan ya, pablasang indio ya("He is weak, because he is an indio"), paqui Tagalog ya, nun etalaralit, talaterac ya ("Being a Tagalog, if he is not fond ofsinging, he is fond of dancing"), paqui Capampangan ya, magmatapang ya("Being a Kapampangan, he is brave").

KAPAMPANGANPARIOTISMAncient Kapampangans felt a strong attachment to theirland and fellow Kapampangans. Bergano observed that our ancestors were proud pablasangdaya lang Capampangan ("for they belong to the Pampango nation").Kapampangans, he wrote, were misangdaya ("you are mycountryman," "we have the same blood," "we are allPampangos") and cadaya ("We are of the sameblood even if we are not relatives... we are of one nation").

KAPAMPANGAN ACCENTKapampangans were maitad ("They speak with alilt, with their peculiar accent").
