History
Established on November 14, 1976 at Manuel Luis Quezon University, (MLQU – Alpha chapter ) R. Hidalgo St. Quiapo, Metropolitan Manila. Cabalen Agumang Capampangan is the largest, One of the premiere and one of the oldest pampango speaking society / fraternity ever established in Metro Manila, Pampanga, Tarlac, Northern part of Bulacan and Bataan. Aiming to distinguish our capampangan brothers and sisters to have unity inside the campus, to develop a leader with its ranks, be united in contributing to the task of nation building.

Cabalen Agumang Capampangan was founded by a young man from Brgy. Mapalacsiao, Tarlac City ( Located inside Hacienda Luisita – Owned by the clan of the first woman President, Corazon Cojuangco Aquino ) who went to Metro Manila to pursue his college degree. He enrolled to Manuel Luis Quezon University, took up BS Electrical Engineering. During his freshmen years in 1976, he joined the Alpha Tau Sigma fraternity where he survived. On his early days with Alpha Tau Sigma, they asked him to recruit pampango speaking students because at that time, there were so many capampangan who were studying at MLQU. And the only existing capampangan organization was the “biseru boys” - an exclusive capampangan society for architecture students (non formal organization) where most of the members were already at their higher years of studies. This gave him the idea that instead of recruiting these people to Alpha Tau Sigma, he organized them to build a group where they could be recognized as one.

He named the group as Cabalen Agumang Capampangan in order to unite capampangan strength to be able to have singular identity, one voice, promote better understanding among other students and secure enjoyment of their social and academic liberties.

It was the Sunday afternoon of November 14, 1976 during the 2nd semester, after his Citizen Military Training, was the formal meeting of pampango speaking students of MLQU to stand as one and be recognized. Attending students endorsed a variety of pampango related words to be named after the organization. To name a few like KAPPA MU TAU, PAMPANGA VARSITARIAN.

And the name CABALEN AGUMANG CAPAMPANGAN was formally chosen and accepted. Unfortunately, not all of the present students who attended this significant day joined the organization because of different beliefs and ideologies.

Formal launching and the born of Cabalen agumang capampangan was held at Mehan Garden at Liwasang Bonifacio in Metro Manila.

Miss Edna Galvez – a Math Instructor was the first Pisces Commander of Alpha chapter.

The Founder and Father of CABALEN - AGUMANG CAPAMPANGAN is now presently living in Ontario,Canada, He builds a link of all cabalen members to global community. Weddie S. Mandal…. A Tarlaqueno … A Founder….A 19CABALEN76 ….......

During its early years, Cabalen Agumang Capampangan was fortunate to have officers filled with a deep sense of responsibility, voluntarism and members who have strong support with their leaders at every turn. The Fraternity set standards and precedents which were enthusiastically and inspiringly followed by succeeding recruits. It made a name for its outstanding involvement with the University’s events and for the challenging moral requirements before an aspirant could enter its exclusive list.

The Cabalen Agumang Capampangan encouraged Pampango speaking scholars to be one among its ranks. With strong discipline, it was able to lead worthwhile activities, which made it a major force to campus recognition. Cabalen also participates with militant actions against infringement on the rights of the students and of the people. We are molded to be men and women of strong character, a keen awareness of what is morally right and wrong, who adhere to the Pillars of Cabalen principles….Camaraderie ( Friendship ), Leadership ( Integrity and courage), Service ( Sacrifice ) and honor in all actions and decisions. It is thus not surprising that several of our ranks are now in service and lending a hand to the task of nation building. .
