Rockwell at Nepo Center in Angeles, Pampanga

Article (news)

<p><strong>Pampanga</strong> has long held its place as the <strong>Culinary Capital of the Philippines</strong>. Here, flavors are bold, recipes are passed down through generations, and every dish tells a story of heritage, faith, and family. But beyond its iconic cuisine, Pampanga is also fast becoming a hub of elevated living—where culture, artistry, and modern developments meet. </p><p><strong>Metro</strong> has been witness to this growth because we were here in Pampanga in 2022, at that time with <strong>Sandy Daza </strong>and <strong>Claude Tayag</strong>, for a <strong><em>The Crawl</em></strong> episode with <strong>Rockwell at Nepo Cente</strong><strong>r</strong>.</p><p>This time, it is <strong><em>EIC On The Move</em></strong>’s <em>Metro Society</em> Editor-in-Chief<strong> Raul Manzano</strong> and his cousin, actor <strong>Edu Manzano</strong>, who’ll take us on an exploration of <strong>Angeles City</strong>. Both share expertise in travel and lifestyle, with Raul as host of the show on meaningful luxury, and Edu, the avid food lover who doubles as a curated gallery. </p><p>Together, they set out on an adventure to discover how Pampanga’s rich past and vibrant culinary cuisine are blending seamlessly with the narrative of Angeles City, and how Rockwell at Nepo Center is central in these exciting developments.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><iframe width="925" height="525" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/eIOrxxKT28c?si=Yc27Bv02kACH2CSc" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Rapid development in as short as three years</strong></div><p>Since the episode in 2022, the city and Rockwell at Nepo Center have progressed immensely. Angeles City, which is part of what they call the <strong>Pampanga Triangle</strong>, is a rising urban hub in Central Luzon, with strong infrastructure, economic growth, while further developing its cultural heritage. Rockwell at Nepo Center has been both a witness and partner of this growth, reinforcing Rockwell’s strategic choice of expansion in the north, which, at that time in 2022, was the first Rockwell Center outside of Metro Manila’s Makati district. </p><p>Rockwell at Nepo Center is well-placed to be the next premier lifestyle center in Angeles City, Pampanga, poised to continue in its upward momentum of growth. On its own, Angeles City has risen in the Oxford Economic Global Cities Index, ranked 502nd in 2024, and this year, capturing the 448th spot. This makes it the third of the 2025 Top Cities in the Philippines, third only to Manila and Cebu, respectively.  </p><p>It is said that the city was recognized because of its standout performances in environment and economic growth, including nearly P3 billion in annual local revenue. The city remains one of only nine Philippine cities included in the prestigious index, which evaluates 1,000 urban centers worldwide based on five key dimensions: Economics, Human Capital, Quality of Life, Environment, and Governance.</p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1758689172685nepo rockwell pampanga embed 3.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><p>Both the city of Angeles and Rockwell at Nepo Center are growing in parallel, seeing that Rockwell at Nepo Center complements and contributes to the growth of Angeles through high-end residential offerings and new and novel retail experiences. </p><p>After all, a city grows through the presence of a strong hub, linking people with business, commerce, institutions, and culture. Mixed-use developments such as Rockwell at Nepo Center are integral to city growth, creating more demand for services such as mobility and trade, increasing the labor force, and becoming a center of activity for the community.</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>A New Chapter with Rockwell</strong></div><p>At the same time, Rockwell’s deep respect for culture and the narratives of their developments makes the difference in how Rockwell at Nepo Center in Angeles City can create a thoughtful integration of residences, retail, and lifestyle concepts.</p><p>Here, these two modalities converge: the deep cultural pride of Pampanga and Rockwell’s commitment to curating exceptional communities. From heritage sites and culinary treasures to modern spaces designed for elevated living, Rockwell at Nepo Center is poised to become the next destination for those who seek both tradition and sophistication.</p><p>Rockwell brought its signature brand of refinement to the north through Rockwell at Nepo Center’s 4.5-hectare mixed-use development. There are two residential buildings in the works: The Manansala, which had record-breaking sales, already 100% sold out and is set to turn over starting January 2026, and The BenCab, which is slated to turn over starting December 2026, is 80% sold as of September.</p><p>There will be more future developments that will be announced within Rockwell at Nepo Center, and with the rate that the residential units are sold, perhaps another residential building is in the midst.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1758689423742nepo rockwell pampanga embed 4.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><p>The speed at which <strong>The Manansala</strong> and <strong>The BenCab</strong> units were bought is a testament and signal to how coveted residences are at Rockwell at Nepo Center, and these units are being snapped up quickly. </p><p>After all, those who have seen what Rockwell has done in Makati can see a vision of the future of what Rockwell at Nepo Center can be—a premier lifestyle hub unlike any other. The most coveted address in the city. A place that feels like home but feels outrightly modern and global.</p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1758689478281nepo rockwell pampanga embed 1.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>The Rockwell Way of Life</strong></div><p>Just imagine all the things we love about Rockwell in Makati, the lifestyle pillars of any Rockwell development: walkability, greenery, security, and curated retail. </p><p>And with Power Plant Mall Angeles set to open in Q4 of 2027, the development would soon open itself up to the best local and international brands, the best curated stores that the North has not seen before. </p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1758689516181nepo rockwell pampanga embed 5.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><p>Imagine all your favorite community activities (strolling, dog-walking, biking, running), within reach and secure in a community; of all your favorite amenities like the clubhouse, pools, fitness games, function room, and underground pathways leading to the mall, and exclusive for residents—all in an interconnected development that makes for less travel time, giving more time for family and what truly matters.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1758689592542nepo rockwell pampanga embed 6.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><p>There is a certain sense of community that is uniquely Rockwell, and we look forward to seeing that at Rockwell at Nepo Center.
