It has been a long-held theory that the ancestors of
the Kampangans came from Indonesia, perhaps in Sumatra
or Java. It is said that they came in waves starting
as early as 300 B.C. Around the mid 1300's, Principe
Balagtas led a group of Kapampangans to what later became
Central Luzon. His great grandson Fernando Malong Balagtas
was still alive and serving as a leader there when the
Spanish conquistadores under Miguel Lopez de Legaspi
conquered Manila in 1571.
In my research, I found some similarities among the words
being currently used by both the Indonesians and the
Kapampangans. The examples given below could be a proof to
show that, with such similarities of words used as indicated,
Kapampangans must have really immigrated to Luzon island from
Indonesia.
