Kapampangan People - Demographics

Demographics

An Austronesian people, many Pampangans also have Chinese and Japanese ancestry. There are also trace evidence of intermarriages with other Philippine ethnic groups, especially from the neighboring Ayta, Sambal, Aburlin, Ilongot and Tagalog.

Kapampangans are mostly Christians, a majority of which are Roman Catholics, Methodists, Iglesia ni Cristo and members of various Protestant denominations and the restorationist The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). However, traces of Animism, Hinduism, Buddhism and Islam can still be found among their folk practices and traditions.
