About Angeles City
Angeles City, geographically located within the province of Pampanga in the Philippines, is locally classified as a first-class, highly urbanized city. According to the 2000 census, it has a population of 267,788.
Angeles is served by the Diosdado Macapagal International Airport inside the Clark Special Economic Zone (formerly Clark Air Base and now renamed Clark Freeport Zone), which is located on the northwestern part of the city. Being the former home of the biggest American base outside of the United States mainland, it was significantly affected by the base pullout brought about by the eruption of Mount Pinatubo in 1991 as the economy of Angeles then was heavily dependent on the U.S. base.

Endowed with economic and business opportunities, Angeles is dubbed as the "Entertainment Capital of Central Luzon."
