In mid-1966, during a meeting at Camp Olivas with President Ferdinand Marcos, Mayor Anastacio L. Gallardo volunteered to become president of the Anti-Huk Mayor's League of Pampanga, which aimed to combat communist rebels from the Hukbalahap, with him stating, "Mr. President, I am willing to lead the anti-Huk movement. Give us guns and we will fight them. We can solve the problem here even if my colleagues here are playing footsie with the Huks."

The Candaba Swamp (Pinac, Pinak) absorbs most of the flood waters that flow from the western slopes of the Sierra Madre Mountain Range. During the rainy season, the Pampanga River overflows and the swamp is submerged. But it is relatively dry during the dry Season, hence making the land suitable for a variety agricultural production.
Candaba is noted for its production melon, that are sold worldwide. The swamps are communal fishing grounds encompassing some 430 km2 of highly arable farmlands. Candaba swamps are very fertile due to its sustained deposits of humus and decaying plant residues. Migrant wild ducks and various wildlife bird from Siberia, New Zealand, Mongolia and other parts of Asia use Candaba as their yearly sanctuary.
Infrastructure
;Drainage System Candaba-San Miguel road is known for being flooded when a typhoon hits Candaba. The drainage system or rip-rap, which is a part of Mayor Jerry Pelayo's road cementing project, was built on both sides of every cemented roads made so the rainwater from other parts of Pampanga will just flow on it and not on the road. ::figure[src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/ef/San_Agustine_Bridge_Malisik_River_Views5.jpg" caption="Malisik River-New San Agustin Bridge in 2024"] ::
