Career

Born as Lucia Lagman in Tarlac, she settled in Pampanga after her marriage to Victorino Cunanan. She established "Aling Lucing's", a restaurant in Angeles City, Pampanga in 1974. Her restaurant featured what has been said as a reinvented variant of sisig which soon became nationally famous. The popularity of her sisig had helped establish Angeles as the "Sisig Capital of the Philippines", [cite web |title=Festivals and Events: Pampanga |url=http://www.visitmyphilippines.com/index.php?title=Pampanga&func=all&pid=4530&tbl=0 |publisher=Department of Tourism |work=The Ultimate Philippines Ultimate Travel Guide For Tourists |accessdate=2008-04-16 ] and Cunanan herself was dubbed as the "Sisig Queen"

Death

Lucia Cunanan was found stabbed to death in her Angeles City home on April 16 2008. She was 80 years old.
