Want to know a tidbit of intriguing information about Angeles City? Read on and find out!
Angeles City’s Salakot Arch, found in Bayanihan Park, was located originally in Clark Air Base.
Following the agreement to establish Philippine sovereignty over U.S. bases and subsequent signing of the revised Military Bases Agreement on January 7, 1979, the government built a landmark resembling a native hat, or salakot, in commemoration. The salakot is frequently attributed to symbolizing Philippine nationalism and spirit.
Salakot Arch’s relocation occurred later, and the park itself was renamed Bayanihan Park from Astro Park following the conversion of Clark Air Base.
