Map of Tarlac showing the location of Bamban

Bamban is a 3rd class municipality in the province of Tarlac, Philippines. According to the 2000 census, it has a population of 46,360 people in 9,113 households. The municipality of Bamban is the southernmost gateway of the melting pot province of Tarlac in the Central Plain of Luzon in the Philippines. The Mount Pinatubo volcanic eruption and the subsequent flow of lava and mud to the lowlands of Bamban forced residents to move out or to stay at the Dapdap Resettlement Area, which is on higher grounds.

History

Around 1812, Sibal siblings from Pampanga and their families decided to look for greener pastures and set their sights north of their old home. They found a fertile plain bounded by the Parua River to the south, a place full of 'bamban' plants, a type of bamboo. There were 11 brothers and a sister who eventually married a Maristela gentleman from Capas. To this day, most of the people of Bamban can trace their roots to one of the 12 Sibal siblings. Bamban has had several famous sons and daughters, foremost of whom is the late Ernesto Y. Sibal, founder of Alemar's book store. Pampango or 'Kapampangan' is the main Filipino dialect spoken in the community.
