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." On July 18, 1966, Mayor Gallardo was on his way to another meeting with President Marcos when he and his five escorts were assassinated by Hukbalahap rebels in Barrio Santa Lucia, Santa Ana, Pampanga.
Candaba is located at the lowest point in the Central Luzon Region.

Candaba is politically subdivided into 33 barangays, as shown below. Each barangay consists of puroks and some have sitios.
Like rest of the area in Central Luzon, there are two seasons in the area, the wet season and dry season. The wet season occurs during the months of May to October, and the dry season the rest of the year.
