I been looking at the map of the Philippines and I was curious of why it was called the Pasig river. Out of curiosity I found the word "Pasig" in the dictionary. This post are merely for reading material and not claiming that the pasig river was named by Kapampangans. Ala sanang gumaga kening post ku ne. :D
Source: Kapampangan Spanish dictionary by Fray Diego Bergano 1732.
