[edit] Prominent Kapampangans

Perhaps the people listed under this section should instead be moved to Category:Kapampangans; it’s getting too long.

I'd even say, the article as a whole is biased. I've tagged it for NPOV concerns. --- Tito Pao 12:59, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
Half of the article is now devoted to the list; I’m moving it intending to have it moved to Category talk:Kapampangans. As for the rest of the article, I don’t think I myself can contribute much.

[edit] Article Neutrality

Somebody should seriously fix this article. Horribly biased. Quite horribly. Lol, almost reeks of WP:VANITY. Shrumster 21:48, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Doing my best to fix it. Ushiwaka (talk) 12:05, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Donita Rose

She may have moved and grown up in Kapampangan lands, but does she herself accept a Kapampangan identity, given that she does not even have Kapampangan parents to start with?

She does and she takes pride of being a Pampangueña already as shown by how she introduces herself in provincial shows stating that she grew up in Clark and Angeles is what she considers her home in the Philippines. Ikabod08 01:54, 19 August 2007 (UTC)Ikabod08
Donita Rose Cavett admits she grew up in Carmenville in Angles City with her cousins on her mom's side...but they spoke English and Pangasinense at home and not Kapampangan. It is a bit doubtful that she even identified herself as Kapampangan. She doesn't even speak it. Carmenville was an Amerasian enclave where English is the most dominant language and not Kapampangan.

[edit] Donita Rose Redux

Donita Rose has been taken off the list. Not everyone who grew up within the Kapampangan Region, especially within the cosmopolitan city of Angeles, necessarily belongs to the Kapampangan ethno-linguistic group. Miss Rose's Philippine-half is Pangasinan-Chinese.
