ANGELES CITY — The city tourism office, in cooperation with Fresh Options Meatshop, has scheduled the annual Sisig Fiesta of April 28 at the Crossing area, the “birthplace of the original Kapampangan pork dish “sisig babi.”
John Montances, city tourism officer, said the famous “sizzling sisig” developed in the city.
“Although sisig was still very much a dish for expectant mothers in many Kapampangan homes until the early 1980s, something happened in Angeles City in the late 1960s that changed the history of sisig. It was Angeles City that sisig was served as pulutan or an appetizer that complements
The teenager, who was only identified as alias “John,” was allegedly being used as runner by her mother who allegedly sells illegal drugs to her known customers from Minalin and nearby towns.
“We learned that the boy is the courier of illegal drug being sold by her mother,” this town’s top cop Chief Inspector Pearl Joy Gollayan explained.
John’s mother, identifed as Marites Quizon, 40, who was the subject of the illegal drug operations, was simultaneously arrested along with two more suspected drug personalities identified as Jayson Navarro, 37, and Albert Navarro, 32.
Jayson and Albert were allegedly caught in the act of buying two small sachets of methamphetamine hydrochloride (shabu) from Quizon during the buy-bust operation.
Aside from the two sachets of shabu, police were also able to recover 38 medium packs of shabu with an estimated value of P14,100 inside Quizon’s residence, while three smalls sachets of shabu were likewise discovered from the actual possession and control of Jayson and Albert.
Gollayan said Quizon is currently detained in the police station here and is facing cases for violation of Sections 5 and 11 of the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002, while her two customers are facing charges of buying and using illegal drugs.
John, who is considered a minor and protected by the Juvenile Justice and Welfare, was turnedover to the Department of Social Welfare and Development for proper disposition, Gollayan said.
