Push promotion of Pangasinan culture

LINGAYEN – The provincial government will pursue more programs and projects to promote tourism, culture and arts in the province.

In a meeting held Thursday at the Urduja House with officers and members of the reconstituted Provincial Culture and Arts Council, Gov. Victor E. Agbayani stressed the need to formulate vision and mission in which tourism, culture and arts complement each other.

This, he said, is the best way to preserve Pangasinan’s tangible and intangible heritage and make Pangasinenses better understand themselves towards promoting a distinct and true Pangasinan identity.

The provincial chief executive urged the council to first concentrate on three matters namely; creation of tasks forces that will take charge of the survey, Pista’y Dayat and the proposed establishment of a Provincial Museum originally proposed at the Casa Real here or in the present Sangguniang Bayan Hall.

The survey will serve as a form of research on past artists, musicians, literature, dances among others not commonly known by many while the proposed Provincial Museum will serve as a gallery where Pangasinan work of art and heritage can be displayed.

The provincial government is currently undertaking actual research thru the internet in coordination with the government of Spain on the exact date of the founding of Pangasinan.

It's about time! Say amtak ag makatalus na Pangasinan so Gobernador tayo. Oala 'ra'y pigpigaran mangitatalindeg ed ibulaslas na Pangasinan Culture and Arts, abayag kami lan inmasingger ed sikato, akin et natan labat?

We need new models (perhaps heroes) for our youth, para ed saray Balon Kailalakan. Definitely, the Pangasinan politicians are not the appropriate models for us.

On the hand, we submitted a proposal for the creation od a Pangasinan Studies Center and Pangasinaniana. Unreacheable kono iyan project.
