Meet John J. Jurado.

Not every story of Angeles can be found in a textbook. In fact, it is rare to find a textbook with the stories of Angeles in it.

Some are told over coffee at a neighborhood cafeteria, while chugging a beer in a sari-sari store, perhaps while eating sisig in a karinderya, or across a market stall as the night turns into morning, or in the familiar corners of hole-in-the-wall eateries where Angelenos gather, eat, talk, and live.

A theater artist, cultural worker, and DOT-accredited Regional Tour Guide, John brings a different way of looking at the city: through the everyday lives of the people who make Angeles what it is.

Now, he joins Memoria Andante as one of its storytellers.

Because sometimes, to understand a city, you simply have to stay a little longer, walk a little farther, and listen to the people who live it.

As we say: Walk the streets. Let the city speak.

Sigamos adelante.

We had fun and a photobomber (who had fun in photobombing as well)

The rain came, we never really cared; we walked anyway.

Last night, Angeles welcomed our first guest for Experience Angeles at Night: with a little more rain than we had planned for.

But perhaps that's the beauty of walking with a city: you don't always get to choose the weather, only how you experience it... and we really did.

From the stories of the Heritage District to the streets washed by rain, our first evening was filled with stories, conversations, food, and a guest willing to brave the downpour with us.

Experience Angeles at Night continues throughout August. To join, register through this link: https://forms.gle/hv6AofiALDgatVP39

Sigamos adelante.

Para nuestros artesanos locales, para los Angeleños; hecho por Angeleños.

¡Salud!

Let's dive into the dark hours, literally and figuratively, as the streets have more to say.

After two successful runs, FOR ADULTS ONLY: What Goes Around in Angeles After Dark returns for its third leg.

Every walk is different. The stories remain, but every group brings new conversations, new questions, and new perspectives. Together, we revisit the city's nightlife, from it's foundation to what it is today, not for spectacle, but to understand the people, places, and stories that continue to shape Angeles when the sun goes down.

Rainy Season Promo: PhP 1,000.00 per participant (regular rate: PhP 1,200.00)

This will be on 8 August 2026, Saturday. Tour starts at 05:00 p.m.

Throwback to 2024.

One of the most meaningful tours I've ever facilitated was with the young learners of the Philippine National School for the Blind during the NHCP's Touch the Artist's Vision (TAV) 2.0: Museum Unboxed Travels exhibit on 2 August 2024.

While assisting visitors who are visually impaired has long been part of my work, as there is a school for the blind near the museum where I serve, welcoming an entire group of young learners eager to discover history made this experience especially memorable. It reminded me that heritage is not defined by sight alone. It is found in touch, sound, conversation, recollection, and shared experiences.

This National Disability Rights Week, may we continue working toward museums, heritage sites, and public spaces that are truly accessible; not as an exception, but as the standard.

History lives.
History belongs to everyone.

Sigamos adelante.

AMERICANA ANGELEÑA: 127 Years of American Influence in Angeles, 1899–2026

Every city carries the stories of the people and events that shaped it. Angeles is no exception.

For 127 years, American influence has left its mark on the town's streets, institutions, architecture, commerce, language, and everyday culture. Some traces are obvious, while others has been gone, still there are influences that have quietly become part of what it means to be an Angeleño.

Join us for a guided heritage walk as we revisit this shared and often complex history; from the arrival of the Americans in 1899, which was full of conflicts, to the legacies that continue to shape Angeles today.

In commemoration of the 80th Philippine-American Friendship Day, this special heritage walk invites you to look beyond familiar landmarks within the town and discover the stories, people, and places that reveal how the city evolved through more than a century of American presence.

This will be on 18 July 2026, Saturday, starts at 02:00 P.M., at Angeles City Heritage District.

Commemorative Rate: ₱400.00 per participant (Includes; Guided Heritage Walk, Historical Interpretation, Research-based Storytelling, and SOUVENIR!)

Register here: https://forms.gle/NSHKMrfif4eWRpwc6

Limited slots available. Advance registration is highly encouraged.

Walk with us. Ask questions. See the city through a different lens.
Sigamos adelante.
