Mount Arayat is a potentially active stratovolcano located in the province of Pampanga on the island of Luzon, Philippines. Popular folklore has stated this mountain to be the home of the diwata Maria Sinukuan. However, in ancient Kapampangan folklore as well as the research gathered by Kapampangan students of Henry Otley Beyer, it was and is the abode of Apung/Aring Sinukuan, rival of Namalyari of Mount Pinatubo, who is in varying versions, the son of Kargon-Kargon who was mortally wounded in a fight with a giant from the Zambales Mountain Range which is said to be the home of Apu Namalyari/ Malyari, a deity of the Sambal, Aetas and Kapampangans living on the Zambales range.
