The curious yet spectacular geological formation – the 123 islets of the Hundred Islands National Park off the city of Alaminos itself is said to be 2 million years old not to mention the fossilized giant clams that were found at the Coral Mountain found 2 kilometers away from Patar in Bolinao which have an estimated age of about 4-5 million years old. pangasinense ak January 28th, 2011, 06:09 PM but the banner still not yet ready....btw PANGASINAN TRAVEL AND TOURISM THREAD is now open....OT:):)KEEP ON POSTING kabayans:banana::banana::banana: pangasinense ak January 28th, 2011, 06:09 PM http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/puntariveraresortjpg10.jpg Philippines pangasinan Sunset on Patar Beach Sunset on Patar Beach Photo by Dave Ryan A. Buaron http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/urduja.gif Moving forward to a much younger era – an ancient kingdom called Luyang na Kaboloan was said to have existed inside the present day borders of Pangasinan (Agno River Valley and Pangasinan Plain) – way before the Spaniards had conquered and eventually colonized the Philippines, a legendary princess named Urduja was said to have ruled this ancient kingdom around the 14th century. The legend of this princess is also shared by the Ibaloi people of the Cordillera province of Benguet. The kingdom enjoyed full independence and flourished during the age of the Asian maritime trade that connected Pangasinan with other parts of the Philippines, as well as with other cultures and societies in Southeast Asia (and most likely with the Srivijaya and Majapahit Empires), China, India and the Pacific. It was believed that Malayo-Polynesian settlers established Pangasinan and the people of Pangasinan were heirs of this very ancient Malayo-Polynesian civilization. These Malayo-Polynesians were expert mariners who sailed ships along routes that extended to as far as Madagascar and the Eastern Pacific. Archeological evidence and ancient records from China and India show that the people of Pangasinan traded with China, Japan and India in 8th Century A.D. http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/asin.jpghttp://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/asin1.jpg Today, this pretty province which about 3 million people call home, is a lively mix of commercial activities, diverse cultures, colorful history, untapped tourism potential The name Pangasinan means “place where salt was made”, “land of salt” or “place of salt-making” – derived from the word asin, which meant “salt” in the Pangasinan language, and true enough the province is a major producer of salt in the Philippines with its many salt beds in most of its coastal towns – a primary source of livelihood. Pangasinan is bordered by the massive Cordillera Mountain Range, Zambales to the southwest, Tarlac to the south and the Lingayen Gulf and the South China Sea to the north. http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/da7.jpghttp://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/pangasinan-lingayen2.jpg When the Spanish seized control of the islands of the Philippines, the country was subdivided into provinces and in 1850, Pangasinan was “formally created” by Governor General Ronquillo de Peñalosa. During the Philippine Revolution, Pangasinenses (Pangasinan people) also rose in revolt culminating in the Battle of Dagupan days after General Emilio Aguinaldo proclaimed Philippine Independence 12 June 1898. The Battle of Dagupan which was led by Philippine revolutionary General Francisco Makabulos, the chief of the Central and Directive Committee of the Central and Northern Luzon, crushed the last remnants of the retreating Spanish forces which were being pummeled everywhere in the islands. Dagupan’s remaining Spanish forces made their last stand at the city’s brick-walled Catholic Church. Like dominoes, each town fell to the Philippine revolutionary forces – Santa Barbaram Malasiqui, Urdaneta, Mapandan, Mangaldan, Alaminos, Agno, Anda, Alos, Bani, Balincaguin, Bolinao, Dasol, Eguia, Potot, Labrador, Sual, Salasa, and Bayambang and Dagupan. During the Second World War, the Lingayen Gulf was one of the most important and most strategic places of battle for the Pacific War Theatre. Just a few days after Pearl Harbor was bombed, on 22 December 1941, Lt. Gen. Masaharu Homma of the Japanese 14th Army landed on its shores almost effortlessly – engaging in only minor skirmishes – the Japanese forces started their three year occupation of the gulf until the Lingayen Gulf Landings in 1945 – when about 203,608 soldiers landed and started the retaking of the gulf from Japanese forces. The Bonuan Blue Beach of Dagupan was one of the landing sites during the Lingayen Gulf Landings by the Liberation Forces in 1945. It now features a Japanese Park, the MacArthur Landing Marker and Tondaligan Park (which is adjunct to the Bonuan Blue Beach). Dagupan is also known for its St. John’s Cathedral and its Old Spanish Railway Station. Unfortunately Bonuan Beach has fallen on hard times – with allegations of prostitution and underage drinking running rampant in the area. Dagupan, however, might have its saving grace in its grilled delicious boneless milkfish (called “bangus” in Tagalog) that can be had in this city which also serves as the province’s commercial center. http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/bayambang-2-2.jpg Traces of its tumultuous past, however, are almost gone save for its many historically important churches – some of which run up to about 400 years old like the church of St. James Fortress or more commonly known as Bolinao Church. Constructed by the Augustinians in 1609 (which means it is 400 years old as of this writing), this brick-stoned church made originally of adobe and coral stone was severely damaged during devastating Typhoon Emong of 2009 when its roof was virtually ripped off by about 275 kph winds in the very same year that it celebrates its 400th birthday. Right now, the church is in a very sad state- and is in dire need of help. Donations come in but unfortunately not enough to do the speedy reconstruction of this beautiful church. For those interested to help, I don’t have the contact details of the current parish priest, but I will post it here as soon as I have the information or anyone could just contact the Pangasinan provincial government through its website – http://www.pangasinan.gov.ph/. The church also houses Aztec looking engravings (tongue protruding and grinning faces) on the base of its antique altar – we reckon that this was of possible Mexican/Aztec influence brought over during the Galleon Trade. http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/manaoag.jpg Philippines pangasinan Manaoag Church Manaoag Church Photo by ranesbluesky For the Catholic religious, Pangasinan means one thing – pilgrimage to the Our Lady of Manaoag whose Spanish-Romanesque (with touches of Italian and German Renaissance architectural composition) church which sits on a hilltop in the town of Manaoag plays host to a supposedly miraculous image of Mary whose ivory image was brought to the Philippines by Fr. Juan de San Jacinto from Spain by way of Acapulco. Apparently four bombs fell on the church during the last days of the World War 2 which damaged the façade – one fell on the roof of the church and did not explode boosting perceptions that the image was indeed miraculous. Check out other centuries old-churches – St. Vincent Ferrer (1614) in Bayambang, Parish of St. Ildephonse (1699) of Malisiqui, St. Dominic Parish (1587) in San Carlos; St. Joseph Parish (1810) in Aguilar, Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes (Salasa) (1720) in Bugallon, Epiphany of Our Lord Parish in Lingayen (1575); St. Peter Martyr Parish (1835), and St. Peter & Paul Church (1588) in Calasiao. pangasinense ak January 28th, 2011, 06:14 PM hindi pa ata nakapunta si aliguas ,,nextime samahan natin hehehe..@saintm may pangasinana travel and tourism thread.na tayo ..ot na me pangasinense ak January 28th, 2011, 06:18 PM http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/p12.jpg Bolinao probably has the finest beaches in the entirety of Pangasinan – with the beach in Patar (about 30-45 minutes away from Bolinao town centre) the most scenic and the most well-known. I was prepared to be underwhelmed by Patar (about 45 minutes away from Bolinao town- PhP200 tricycle ride), but instead, I was welcomed by a gorgeous looking cream colored sandy beach, and very clean, turquoise waters which reminded me of the cream-colored to golden beaches of Australia (which probably partly explains the presence of a small Aussie community in the area). The beach is pretty clean, and there are no pushy touts in the area, and on an ordinary weekend, you can get a piece of solitude in Patar. We found the beach in Patar extremely likable and didn’t mind just chilling out with a beer for breakfast in one of the small open-air nipa huts in the area. Be forewarned though, we spied a karaoke machine in the area (we secretly wished it would surrender and break down against the salty ocean air). We encountered a group of Koreans living in Baguio City who tried to practice their English on our group (which was composed by 3 Australians and 1 Filipino). Our expat writer, Scott Allford cheekily suggested that Patar is better than the most famous and apparently best Korean Beach- Haeundae Beach (where you have more people than sand and you have to pay to be under one of the gazillion umbrellas on the beach). The Korean guy replied, that Patar has no nightclubs – and all of us (me and the three Aussies included) smiled – Exactly – and this is the main reason why Philippine beaches are better than most of the popular beaches in the world – beaches like Patar are relatively unspoiled, charming and not too commercialized which is the way beaches should be. If a low pressure area is nearby, Patar Beach (reef break) also offers great surfing opportunities and there is little surfing community in the area mostly composed of resident Aussies. Apart from Patar, there are other notable beaches in Bolinao – the Balingasay Beach, and the stretches of beaches along Ilog Malino. There is a Marine Sanctuary on Silaki/Silaqui Island which features Giant Clams. In other parts of Pangasinan, other beaches that are worth checking out are Sabangan Beach off Infanta, Tambobong White Sand Beach (favorite of anglers) of Dasol, and the Tondol White Sand Beach of Anda. Patar’s Beach, however, has faults of its own – the disgusting pile of concrete called Treasures of Bolinao, the most prominent hotel in the area, not only basically encroached on the beach itself but had the chutzpah to build an elevated walkway on three natural rock formations- an illegal act, if not a total crime against nature if not against the law. Sensible travelers and residents in the area have complained about this eyesore which unfortunately wasn’t destroyed by the last big typhoon that hit Bolinao. I would like to dissuade anyone from patronizing the services of this horrible, horrible hotel until they rectify this grievous act against nature. A few minutes away by foot from Patar is the Cape Bolinao Lighthouse (30.78 Meters/101 Ft.) on a hill on Punta Piedra Point, it is the second tallest in the country after the Cape Bojeador Lighthouse in Burgos, Ilocos Norte. The Bolinao Lighthouse was built in 1905 by British, Filipino and American engineers and is one of the 5 most prominent lighthouses in the country. The lighthouse is literally dying and in need of immediate repair after it was severely damaged by Typhoon Emong. The building right next to it lies in ruins and almost all hope has been abandoned as no one seems to have done anything about this important piece of history. With the Philippine Coast Guard as the sole owner of the Lighthouse and the Local Government of Bolinao as the main caretaker, we hope that the lighthouse will eventually be saved and preserved and continue to stand as a sentinel of Bolinao and safely guide the ships that pass around the area. The Lighthouse has a 140-step winding stairway that goes up to the illumination tower and when it is working in its best condition (not at the moment of course) is visible 44 kilometers away guiding ships led to the Bolinao area by the Zambales lighthouse (presumably Capones Island Lighthouse) and then toward to the Poro Point Lighthouse in La Union. According to the late Bolinao historian, Catalino Catanaoan, Cape Bolinao’s Lighthouse original light machine was manufactured in England, while the lantern, with three wicks and chimneys was imported from France. For its first 80 years of operation, kerosene was used in the lighthouse in Bolinao and then when the local electric cooperative extended its operations to Patar, the lighthouse began to run on electricity (which seems to be extremely fickle in Bolinao- we caught a power outage whilst we were in Patar). http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/cape-bolinao-lighthouse.jpg Philippines pangasinan Bolinao Lighthouse Bolinao Lighthouse Photo by Dave Ryan A. Buaron http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/pangasinan_kakupangan_cave.jpghttp://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/cacupangancave.jpg There are three popular caves in Bolinao but only two are worth recommending. The three caves are Enchanted Cave, Wonderful Cave and Cindy’s Cave. All charge a nominal entrance fee. Enchanted Cave is the most popular, with crystal clear natural swimming pools underground, coral formations, stalagmites and a display of fossilized Giant Clams. Wonderful Cave is small and a little private but there is a time limit of about 30 minutes per stay. Cindy’s Cave is the shallowest amongst the three, with the kitschy addition of a shower in the middle of the swimming area (that was a little bit random, we think) and apparently, not the cleanest waters either. You may also want check out Cacupangan Cave, (as well as Binmatya and Arasaas Caves) in Mabini town with an underground flowing into the Balincaguing River (do this only during the dry season) and the 200 meters long Villacorta Caves (also in Mabini) features basin-like formations, terraced rock, a chamber and gypsum flowers. Apart from beaches and caves, Bolinao is also known for its waterfalls – Bolinao Falls 1 and 2 (not as named imaginatively as the Wonderful and Enchanted Caves) but what they lack in creative names they compensate with their refreshingly clean waters and seemingly unspoiled, pretty scenery. The waterfalls are located in Samang Norte which can be reached in about 40 minutes by tricycle with mostly very bad roads on the way. Tara Falls is nearby the bridge going to Anda but it is too small and unimpressive and unless you have time to kill, is not exactly on our must check out list. You may also want to check out Mambaciano and Mayaman Waterfalls near Canal Bay in Sual and Antong Falls in Sison. http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/ala5.jpg Philippines pangasinan Bolinao Falls Bolinao Falls Photo by Dave Ryan A. Buaron http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/clear-water-4001.jpg The Fourteen Mile Reef off Santiago Island is perfect for diving and is teeming with marine life and hard and soft corals. http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/FarlHundredIslands.jpghttp://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/hundred_island_header.jpg Unarguably, the Hundred Islands National Park is the ultimate crown jewel of Pangasinan tourism where its 123 islets sitting on the tranquil waters of Lingayen Gulf congregate in a small area just off the city of Alaminos. The islands, most of which are uninhabited, offer snorkeling, swimming, spelunking, camping and kayaking opportunities with its many strips of white sand beaches and sand bars. The best developed is probably Quezon Island (named after the Philippine Commonwealth President Manuel L. Quezon) with facilities that include 2 dining pavilions, grilling area and Giant Clams Garden. Governor’s Island, meanwhile, who once played host to the Philippine edition of that campy reality TV franchise – Big Brother has a house here which one can now rent if one decides to stay at Governor’s Island. Governor’s Island also has a view deck which boasts sweeping views of this beautiful National Park. For people with kids, the Children’s Island meanwhile has the shallowest waters in the marine park and perfect for children to practice their swimming skills. The Hundred Islands National Park has Bantay Dagat (literally “Sea Guardians”) who protect the marine park from illegal fishing and also double as lifeguards in case of emergencies – Other places of interest would be the Manleluag Spring National Park in Mangatarem, the Agno Umbrella Rocks (three mushroom shaped stone boulders) of Agno, the hot and cold springs of Mt. Balungao near Rosales, the Limahong Channel (where the infamous Chinese corsair escaped after his failed attempt to establish a colony on the shore of Manila Bay). pangasinense ak January 28th, 2011, 06:19 PM Why Not Go If you are looking for a high-flying nightlife like in more organized tourist destinations, it is not quite the way it is in Pangasinan (save for the Hundred Islands National Park). There are quite a few malls in the main cities but otherwise, living is basic and in most areas, there are even no ATMs around. Why Go For an ordinary long weekend getaway, Pangasinan offers refreshing respite from the more popular Philippine destinations with its quaint coastal villages and charming beaches that rarely see outside visitors. You can basically see the sun rise over the Hundred Islands and drive westward to Patar Beach and see the sunset on the same day! Now how cool is that! Best Time to Visit Best time to go is during the dry season and during ordinary weekends. Patar Beach and a lot of tourist spots usually get pretty crowded during Easter but are okay during most of the year. Where to Stay Philippines Hotels and Resorts Save up to 75% on hotels in Philippines There are resorts and hotels all over the major cities and if it is usually near the beach, there should be a hotel or two. For a more complete listing of hotels in Pangasinan please contact – http://www.pangasinan.gov.ph/ or you may contact the Department of Tourism Regional Office in La Union – Martin Valera, Regional Director, (Oasis Country Resort, National Highway, Bgy.

Bangus happens to be the National Fish of the Philippines as well and we had the best Bangus we ever had in Pangasinan- grilled or fried- the serving is large and cheap (compared to the its diminutive cousins served in the restaurants of Manila. Alaminos has its own take on the longganiza as well. And the sweet sticky rice with coconut dessert called tupig which seemed to be ubiquitous in this region is a must try. http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/lingayenfinal1.gifhttp://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/bagoong.jpg Another must bring home item from Pangasinan is a bottle of fermented fish paste – Pangasinan’s take on that important Filipino foodie must-have- the bagoong. Make sure to pick one up whenever you are in the area. Nightlife http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/upang7-1.jpg Pangasinan nightlife is more associated with Dagupan although it is a little shady and not highly recommended. The best way to spend your nights in Pangasinan is by the beach, having quiet barbecue dinners under the stars and enjoying the sweet solace of being so far and away from the lunacy of Manila urban life. My to do List 1. Kayak or do island-hopping at the Hundred Islands. ** 2. Snorkel and check out the Giant Clams at Silaki Island. ** 3. Chill out the Patar Beach in Bolinao.* 4. Sample the Boneless Bangus.* 5. Take a dip at the waterfalls of Bolinao. * 6. Do a pilgrimage to the Manaoag Shrine. ** 7. Bring back a bottle of the famous Bagoong Pangasinan.* 8. See the Bolinao Lighthouse.* 9. Cool off from the searing sun by relaxing in the pools of Wonderful and Enchanted Caves.* 10. Share a glass of local wines (tuba) with locals of Dasol. Stay Away From 1. Mosquitoes! – just bring bug repellent to be sure 2. Dust Mites. – bring Lysol with you, if you think the hotel room is oldish and not cleaned properly. 3. UV rays – Apply ample sun protection and sunglasses. 4. Heat stroke- take plenty of fluids – make sure you have a few bottles of ion-based drinks handy. Getting There If you are not coming with a tour group, there are many buses that ply to different points in Pangasinan. If you are heading to the Hundred Islands in Alaminos and Bolinao – Victory Liner and Five Star Buses leave Manila as early as 12 midnight. For going back to Manila, Victory Liner only goes as far as the Cubao terminal from Bolinao during Fridays and Saturdays. Skip the ordinary buses of Five Star as they can be extra filthy. Other bus lines that go to Pangasinan are Dagupan Bus Line, City Trans, and Philippine Rabbit. There are jeepneys and mini-buses between towns as well as tricycles (motorcycles with sidecars). Do not forget to take a road map of Pangasinan before embarking on a trip.

The Abono partylist expressed this fear as it strongly urged the government to adopt stringent measures to address the issue which has been hurting local meat producers. “Hindi lang importation kundi pati smuggling ang problema,” disclosed Abono chair Rosendo So during the Engkwentro forum of the Pangasinan Press Club Friday at the Jurassic Ark. The country imported last year about 2.5 billion metric tons, which he said was 20 percent more than what the country needs. “Tapos marami pang smuggled na pumapasok. May imported na, may smuggled pa, sobra na talaga.” Because of over-importation plus smuggling of chicken products, the live weight now of chicken runs to only P80. “Lugi na ang mga local producers natin ng higit pa sa P10,” he noted. The live weight price runs from P92 to P98. The country also loses money because of technical smuggling. Because the tariff for entrails (intestines and other internal organs) is only five percent, unscrupulous traders declare their imports as such although the goods are actually “good meat.” “Hindi kinakain ng mga Amerikano yong mga lamang-loob pero itinatapon dito,” he said, noting that Filipinos are fond of eating intestines and other internal parts of chicken. He said that x-ray machines of the Bureau of Customs could not determine good meat from entrails so that traders take advantage of the situation by not declaring their actual imports. He also disclosed that only 10 percent of the import is being inspected. “Sa 100 containers mga sampu lang ang na-iinspect.” He said that the customs bureau and industry stakeholders held a summit in Cebu recently due to the growing problem of over-importation of meat as well as smuggling in that area. “Huwag namang sobra kundi mamamatay ang industriya,” he said. On rice importation, So said he was glad that the present administration was considering the welfare of local famers by importing only the country’s actual needs. The previous administration imported up to 2.5 million metric tons of rice, which was said to be three times more than the actual need. The government thru the National Food Authority is considering 600,000 to 800,000 metric tons of rice imports, he said even as he suggested that government should let the private sector do rice importation. “Ang gawin na lang ng NFA bumili sa mga farmers natin,” he said.

Espino for his all-out river clean-up Posted by Vangie Padilla on Jan 29th, 2011 You can leave your comments to this entry. Binmaley Mayor Lorenzo Cerezo lauded Governor Amado T. Espino, Jr. for his all-out support and for pioneering the massive river clean-up drive in his town that paved the way for the holding of the first fluvial parade of the Sigay Festival held at Manat, Binmaley on January 26. Cerezo said the activity was not possible without Gov. Espino, together with the Task Force Kalikasan, in cleaning the rivers even as he said that it added to the beauty of Binmaley. The massive river clean-up drive is part of ” Ilog Ko, Bilayen Tan Aroen Ko,” an environmental advocacy campaign launched by the Espino administration. On the other hand, Governor Espino said the river clean-up and dismantling of illegal structures left few people displeasured but he said they need to understand that we have regulations to follow in preserving our environment. With this development, Governor Espino urged the people to work hand-in-hand with the provincial government even as he said that what they are doing are not for us, but it’s for the next generation and for our children’s children. “Gamitin natin ng wasto ang ating mga ilog at kalikasan dahil malaki ang maitutulong nito sa ating kabuhayan at ekonomiya”, Governor Espino said. Cerezo also noted that the move made by Governor Espino to clean the rivers has benefitted its townspeople because according to him, most of its land area and its residents depend on raising and selling fishes, shrimps, prawns among others. The activity was participated in by some 33 barangays whose delegates rode on a decorated banca, where the winner for the best fluvial float will be chosen and will be announced January 30 during the Barangay Night. Another activity was the signing of pledge of Manifesto dubbed as “Panata sa Pangangalaga sa Kalikasan ng Binmaley”, led by Governor Espino, Mayor Cerezo together with barangay officials in order to achieve a sustained, holistic effort to protect and rehabilitate rivers of the town. Emmanuel Baldonado, a 2nd grade pupil from Binmaley Catholic School, who emotionally read the manifesto, was praised by the governor. He said,” it is very symbolic and touching for a 2nd grade vowing to help protect the environment. He should be an inspiration to us all.” http://www.pangalatalk.com jcruze057 January 29th, 2011, 05:07 AM na suggest ko na rin yan b4 dito sa forum ,di ba mas maganda.tapos i extend pa nila ang haba at luwang .....:) uu nga tapos, gawin na lang hotel para sosyal pagkakakitaan pa pangasinense ak January 29th, 2011, 05:08 AM Literary Experts Shares Insights with Budding Writers Posted by Vangie Padilla on Jan 29th, 2011 You can leave your comments to this entry. The Pangasinan provincial government thru the Pangasinan Tourism Office has sponsored “Filipinas Copyright Licensing Society, Inc. (FILCOLS) Huntahan”, a round table discussion about writing, publishing, intellectual property and copyright participated by members of the Ulopan na Pansiansay Salitan Pangasinan (UPSP) on January 28 at Malong Conference Room here. Maria Luisa A. Elduayan, Pangasinan Tourism Officer, said that the undertaking is fully supported by Governor Amado T. Espino, Jr. that is aimed to provide assistance to budding literary writers in the province especially the UPSP who are doing a great job in preserving Pangasinan literature. Elduayan said that the idea gained support from the Governor because one of the prerogatives of the present administration is to promote Pangasinan arts and culture. This, she added, includes the revival of literary works written in Pangasinan dialect. UPSP is composed of Pangasinense literary and song writers, and literary professors from the state universities as well as private universities in the province. Meanwhile, Alvin J. Buenaventura, FILCOLS Executive Director said that his office is willing to extend assistance to UPSP in terms of copyright education and book-related activities to fully maximize the exercise of the right of reproduction over their literary works as provided for under the Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines. Copyright is a branch of Intellectual Property which pertains to the rights given to creators or authors for their literary and artistic works. The domain of works includes writings, music, fine art (photography, painting or sculptures) and technology- based works (computer software programs, websites, and electronic databases). This protects the expression of thoughts or ideas, not the thought or ideas themselves. During the forum, Abdon Balde, Jr., Chairperson of Unyon ng mga Manunulat sa Pilipinas, provided the participants with insights on writing, publishing and marketing of literary works.http://www.pangalatalk.com pangasinense ak January 29th, 2011, 05:22 AM nwOhtbbdVrM makapaliket kabaleyan ko ran so kansyon nen gusting..:lol::lol::lol: pangasinense ak January 29th, 2011, 05:26 AM uu nga tapos, gawin na lang hotel para sosyal pagkakakitaan pa hotel? di ba png goverment offices sya dapat...ay baka ung tinutukoy mo kapag napalaki ang capitolyo ay ung mga ibang govt.office ilipat na lang sila doon para iisang gusali lang lhat ng mga opisina at agency ng luyag ,ganito ba ibig mong sabihin ?out na me mya ulit..new thread na tayo maya kaso wala me banner gawan na lang ng paraan mayang hapon dami ko pa naman back up dito hehe pangasinense ak January 29th, 2011, 06:29 AM GALI..LA.......:banana::banana::banana: THREAD 10 TILA....

Buaron http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/urduja.gif Moving forward to a much younger era – an ancient kingdom called Luyang na Kaboloan was said to have existed inside the present day borders of Pangasinan (Agno River Valley and Pangasinan Plain) – way before the Spaniards had conquered and eventually colonized the Philippines, a legendary princess named Urduja was said to have ruled this ancient kingdom around the 14th century. The legend of this princess is also shared by the Ibaloi people of the Cordillera province of Benguet. The kingdom enjoyed full independence and flourished during the age of the Asian maritime trade that connected Pangasinan with other parts of the Philippines, as well as with other cultures and societies in Southeast Asia (and most likely with the Srivijaya and Majapahit Empires), China, India and the Pacific. It was believed that Malayo-Polynesian settlers established Pangasinan and the people of Pangasinan were heirs of this very ancient Malayo-Polynesian civilization. These Malayo-Polynesians were expert mariners who sailed ships along routes that extended to as far as Madagascar and the Eastern Pacific. Archeological evidence and ancient records from China and India show that the people of Pangasinan traded with China, Japan and India in 8th Century A.D. http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/asin.jpghttp://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/asin1.jpg Today, this pretty province which about 3 million people call home, is a lively mix of commercial activities, diverse cultures, colorful history, untapped tourism potential The name Pangasinan means “place where salt was made”, “land of salt” or “place of salt-making” – derived from the word asin, which meant “salt” in the Pangasinan language, and true enough the province is a major producer of salt in the Philippines with its many salt beds in most of its coastal towns – a primary source of livelihood. Pangasinan is bordered by the massive Cordillera Mountain Range, Zambales to the southwest, Tarlac to the south and the Lingayen Gulf and the South China Sea to the north. http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/da7.jpghttp://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/pangasinan-lingayen2.jpg When the Spanish seized control of the islands of the Philippines, the country was subdivided into provinces and in 1850, Pangasinan was “formally created” by Governor General Ronquillo de Peñalosa. During the Philippine Revolution, Pangasinenses (Pangasinan people) also rose in revolt culminating in the Battle of Dagupan days after General Emilio Aguinaldo proclaimed Philippine Independence 12 June 1898. The Battle of Dagupan which was led by Philippine revolutionary General Francisco Makabulos, the chief of the Central and Directive Committee of the Central and Northern Luzon, crushed the last remnants of the retreating Spanish forces which were being pummeled everywhere in the islands. Dagupan’s remaining Spanish forces made their last stand at the city’s brick-walled Catholic Church. Like dominoes, each town fell to the Philippine revolutionary forces – Santa Barbaram Malasiqui, Urdaneta, Mapandan, Mangaldan, Alaminos, Agno, Anda, Alos, Bani, Balincaguin, Bolinao, Dasol, Eguia, Potot, Labrador, Sual, Salasa, and Bayambang and Dagupan. During the Second World War, the Lingayen Gulf was one of the most important and most strategic places of battle for the Pacific War Theatre. Just a few days after Pearl Harbor was bombed, on 22 December 1941, Lt. Gen. Masaharu Homma of the Japanese 14th Army landed on its shores almost effortlessly – engaging in only minor skirmishes – the Japanese forces started their three year occupation of the gulf until the Lingayen Gulf Landings in 1945 – when about 203,608 soldiers landed and started the retaking of the gulf from Japanese forces. The Bonuan Blue Beach of Dagupan was one of the landing sites during the Lingayen Gulf Landings by the Liberation Forces in 1945. It now features a Japanese Park, the MacArthur Landing Marker and Tondaligan Park (which is adjunct to the Bonuan Blue Beach). Dagupan is also known for its St. John’s Cathedral and its Old Spanish Railway Station. Unfortunately Bonuan Beach has fallen on hard times – with allegations of prostitution and underage drinking running rampant in the area. Dagupan, however, might have its saving grace in its grilled delicious boneless milkfish (called “bangus” in Tagalog) that can be had in this city which also serves as the province’s commercial center. http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/bayambang-2-2.jpg Traces of its tumultuous past, however, are almost gone save for its many historically important churches – some of which run up to about 400 years old like the church of St. James Fortress or more commonly known as Bolinao Church. Constructed by the Augustinians in 1609 (which means it is 400 years old as of this writing), this brick-stoned church made originally of adobe and coral stone was severely damaged during devastating Typhoon Emong of 2009 when its roof was virtually ripped off by about 275 kph winds in the very same year that it celebrates its 400th birthday. Right now, the church is in a very sad state- and is in dire need of help. Donations come in but unfortunately not enough to do the speedy reconstruction of this beautiful church. For those interested to help, I don’t have the contact details of the current parish priest, but I will post it here as soon as I have the information or anyone could just contact the Pangasinan provincial government through its website – http://www.pangasinan.gov.ph/. The church also houses Aztec looking engravings (tongue protruding and grinning faces) on the base of its antique altar – we reckon that this was of possible Mexican/Aztec influence brought over during the Galleon Trade. http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/manaoag.jpg Philippines pangasinan Manaoag Church Manaoag Church Photo by ranesbluesky For the Catholic religious, Pangasinan means one thing – pilgrimage to the Our Lady of Manaoag whose Spanish-Romanesque (with touches of Italian and German Renaissance architectural composition) church which sits on a hilltop in the town of Manaoag plays host to a supposedly miraculous image of Mary whose ivory image was brought to the Philippines by Fr. Juan de San Jacinto from Spain by way of Acapulco. Apparently four bombs fell on the church during the last days of the World War 2 which damaged the façade – one fell on the roof of the church and did not explode boosting perceptions that the image was indeed miraculous. Check out other centuries old-churches – St. Vincent Ferrer (1614) in Bayambang, Parish of St. Ildephonse (1699) of Malisiqui, St. Dominic Parish (1587) in San Carlos; St. Joseph Parish (1810) in Aguilar, Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes (Salasa) (1720) in Bugallon, Epiphany of Our Lord Parish in Lingayen (1575); St. Peter Martyr Parish (1835), and St. Peter & Paul Church (1588) in Calasiao. pangasinense ak January 29th, 2011, 06:31 AM asaan ka joe may inihanda ka bang banner? pangasinense ak January 29th, 2011, 06:32 AM maya hapon ang labas k ..kaya nag open na me ng thread 10 ...gawa pa lang me ng banner ... jcruze057 January 29th, 2011, 06:34 AM hello, pwede ko ba hiramin yung mga pics ng capitol at lingayen kase nasira camera ko nung nagpunta ako dyan kaya wala ako maipost sa blog ko ALIGUAS PANGASINAN January 29th, 2011, 06:46 AM dapat dagdagan nila ng features yung building like iextend nila para malagyan ng dome sa taas similar to whitehouse bakit?napapangitan ka po ba?:ohno: isa ako sa mga tututol dyan! isa yang heritage building natin. di pwedeng baguhin ang design nito at di pwedeng lakihan o iextend ang capitol.

I was prepared to be underwhelmed by Patar (about 45 minutes away from Bolinao town- PhP200 tricycle ride), but instead, I was welcomed by a gorgeous looking cream colored sandy beach, and very clean, turquoise waters which reminded me of the cream-colored to golden beaches of Australia (which probably partly explains the presence of a small Aussie community in the area). The beach is pretty clean, and there are no pushy touts in the area, and on an ordinary weekend, you can get a piece of solitude in Patar. We found the beach in Patar extremely likable and didn’t mind just chilling out with a beer for breakfast in one of the small open-air nipa huts in the area. Be forewarned though, we spied a karaoke machine in the area (we secretly wished it would surrender and break down against the salty ocean air). We encountered a group of Koreans living in Baguio City who tried to practice their English on our group (which was composed by 3 Australians and 1 Filipino). Our expat writer, Scott Allford cheekily suggested that Patar is better than the most famous and apparently best Korean Beach- Haeundae Beach (where you have more people than sand and you have to pay to be under one of the gazillion umbrellas on the beach). The Korean guy replied, that Patar has no nightclubs – and all of us (me and the three Aussies included) smiled – Exactly – and this is the main reason why Philippine beaches are better than most of the popular beaches in the world – beaches like Patar are relatively unspoiled, charming and not too commercialized which is the way beaches should be. If a low pressure area is nearby, Patar Beach (reef break) also offers great surfing opportunities and there is little surfing community in the area mostly composed of resident Aussies. Apart from Patar, there are other notable beaches in Bolinao – the Balingasay Beach, and the stretches of beaches along Ilog Malino. There is a Marine Sanctuary on Silaki/Silaqui Island which features Giant Clams. In other parts of Pangasinan, other beaches that are worth checking out are Sabangan Beach off Infanta, Tambobong White Sand Beach (favorite of anglers) of Dasol, and the Tondol White Sand Beach of Anda. Patar’s Beach, however, has faults of its own – the disgusting pile of concrete called Treasures of Bolinao, the most prominent hotel in the area, not only basically encroached on the beach itself but had the chutzpah to build an elevated walkway on three natural rock formations- an illegal act, if not a total crime against nature if not against the law. Sensible travelers and residents in the area have complained about this eyesore which unfortunately wasn’t destroyed by the last big typhoon that hit Bolinao. I would like to dissuade anyone from patronizing the services of this horrible, horrible hotel until they rectify this grievous act against nature. A few minutes away by foot from Patar is the Cape Bolinao Lighthouse (30.78 Meters/101 Ft.) on a hill on Punta Piedra Point, it is the second tallest in the country after the Cape Bojeador Lighthouse in Burgos, Ilocos Norte. The Bolinao Lighthouse was built in 1905 by British, Filipino and American engineers and is one of the 5 most prominent lighthouses in the country. The lighthouse is literally dying and in need of immediate repair after it was severely damaged by Typhoon Emong. The building right next to it lies in ruins and almost all hope has been abandoned as no one seems to have done anything about this important piece of history. With the Philippine Coast Guard as the sole owner of the Lighthouse and the Local Government of Bolinao as the main caretaker, we hope that the lighthouse will eventually be saved and preserved and continue to stand as a sentinel of Bolinao and safely guide the ships that pass around the area. The Lighthouse has a 140-step winding stairway that goes up to the illumination tower and when it is working in its best condition (not at the moment of course) is visible 44 kilometers away guiding ships led to the Bolinao area by the Zambales lighthouse (presumably Capones Island Lighthouse) and then toward to the Poro Point Lighthouse in La Union. According to the late Bolinao historian, Catalino Catanaoan, Cape Bolinao’s Lighthouse original light machine was manufactured in England, while the lantern, with three wicks and chimneys was imported from France. For its first 80 years of operation, kerosene was used in the lighthouse in Bolinao and then when the local electric cooperative extended its operations to Patar, the lighthouse began to run on electricity (which seems to be extremely fickle in Bolinao- we caught a power outage whilst we were in Patar). http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/cape-bolinao-lighthouse.jpg Philippines pangasinan Bolinao Lighthouse Bolinao Lighthouse Photo by Dave Ryan A. Buaron http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/pangasinan_kakupangan_cave.jpghttp://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/cacupangancave.jpg There are three popular caves in Bolinao but only two are worth recommending. The three caves are Enchanted Cave, Wonderful Cave and Cindy’s Cave. All charge a nominal entrance fee. Enchanted Cave is the most popular, with crystal clear natural swimming pools underground, coral formations, stalagmites and a display of fossilized Giant Clams. Wonderful Cave is small and a little private but there is a time limit of about 30 minutes per stay. Cindy’s Cave is the shallowest amongst the three, with the kitschy addition of a shower in the middle of the swimming area (that was a little bit random, we think) and apparently, not the cleanest waters either. You may also want check out Cacupangan Cave, (as well as Binmatya and Arasaas Caves) in Mabini town with an underground flowing into the Balincaguing River (do this only during the dry season) and the 200 meters long Villacorta Caves (also in Mabini) features basin-like formations, terraced rock, a chamber and gypsum flowers. Apart from beaches and caves, Bolinao is also known for its waterfalls – Bolinao Falls 1 and 2 (not as named imaginatively as the Wonderful and Enchanted Caves) but what they lack in creative names they compensate with their refreshingly clean waters and seemingly unspoiled, pretty scenery. The waterfalls are located in Samang Norte which can be reached in about 40 minutes by tricycle with mostly very bad roads on the way. Tara Falls is nearby the bridge going to Anda but it is too small and unimpressive and unless you have time to kill, is not exactly on our must check out list. You may also want to check out Mambaciano and Mayaman Waterfalls near Canal Bay in Sual and Antong Falls in Sison. http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/ala5.jpg Philippines pangasinan Bolinao Falls Bolinao Falls Photo by Dave Ryan A.

The islands, most of which are uninhabited, offer snorkeling, swimming, spelunking, camping and kayaking opportunities with its many strips of white sand beaches and sand bars. The best developed is probably Quezon Island (named after the Philippine Commonwealth President Manuel L. Quezon) with facilities that include 2 dining pavilions, grilling area and Giant Clams Garden. Governor’s Island, meanwhile, who once played host to the Philippine edition of that campy reality TV franchise – Big Brother has a house here which one can now rent if one decides to stay at Governor’s Island. Governor’s Island also has a view deck which boasts sweeping views of this beautiful National Park. For people with kids, the Children’s Island meanwhile has the shallowest waters in the marine park and perfect for children to practice their swimming skills. The Hundred Islands National Park has Bantay Dagat (literally “Sea Guardians”) who protect the marine park from illegal fishing and also double as lifeguards in case of emergencies – Other places of interest would be the Manleluag Spring National Park in Mangatarem, the Agno Umbrella Rocks (three mushroom shaped stone boulders) of Agno, the hot and cold springs of Mt. Balungao near Rosales, the Limahong Channel (where the infamous Chinese corsair escaped after his failed attempt to establish a colony on the shore of Manila Bay). pangasinense ak January 29th, 2011, 07:37 AM Why Not Go If you are looking for a high-flying nightlife like in more organized tourist destinations, it is not quite the way it is in Pangasinan (save for the Hundred Islands National Park). There are quite a few malls in the main cities but otherwise, living is basic and in most areas, there are even no ATMs around. Why Go For an ordinary long weekend getaway, Pangasinan offers refreshing respite from the more popular Philippine destinations with its quaint coastal villages and charming beaches that rarely see outside visitors. You can basically see the sun rise over the Hundred Islands and drive westward to Patar Beach and see the sunset on the same day! Now how cool is that! Best Time to Visit Best time to go is during the dry season and during ordinary weekends. Patar Beach and a lot of tourist spots usually get pretty crowded during Easter but are okay during most of the year. Where to Stay Philippines Hotels and Resorts Save up to 75% on hotels in Philippines There are resorts and hotels all over the major cities and if it is usually near the beach, there should be a hotel or two.

Bangus happens to be the National Fish of the Philippines as well and we had the best Bangus we ever had in Pangasinan- grilled or fried- the serving is large and cheap (compared to the its diminutive cousins served in the restaurants of Manila. Alaminos has its own take on the longganiza as well. And the sweet sticky rice with coconut dessert called tupig which seemed to be ubiquitous in this region is a must try. http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/lingayenfinal1.gifhttp://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/bagoong.jpg Another must bring home item from Pangasinan is a bottle of fermented fish paste – Pangasinan’s take on that important Filipino foodie must-have- the bagoong. Make sure to pick one up whenever you are in the area. Nightlife http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/upang7-1.jpg Pangasinan nightlife is more associated with Dagupan although it is a little shady and not highly recommended. The best way to spend your nights in Pangasinan is by the beach, having quiet barbecue dinners under the stars and enjoying the sweet solace of being so far and away from the lunacy of Manila urban life. My to do List 1. Kayak or do island-hopping at the Hundred Islands. ** 2. Snorkel and check out the Giant Clams at Silaki Island. ** 3. Chill out the Patar Beach in Bolinao.* 4. Sample the Boneless Bangus.* 5. Take a dip at the waterfalls of Bolinao. * 6. Do a pilgrimage to the Manaoag Shrine. ** 7. Bring back a bottle of the famous Bagoong Pangasinan.* 8. See the Bolinao Lighthouse.* 9. Cool off from the searing sun by relaxing in the pools of Wonderful and Enchanted Caves.* 10. Share a glass of local wines (tuba) with locals of Dasol. Stay Away From 1. Mosquitoes! – just bring bug repellent to be sure 2. Dust Mites. – bring Lysol with you, if you think the hotel room is oldish and not cleaned properly. 3. UV rays – Apply ample sun protection and sunglasses. 4. Heat stroke- take plenty of fluids – make sure you have a few bottles of ion-based drinks handy. Getting There If you are not coming with a tour group, there are many buses that ply to different points in Pangasinan. If you are heading to the Hundred Islands in Alaminos and Bolinao – Victory Liner and Five Star Buses leave Manila as early as 12 midnight. For going back to Manila, Victory Liner only goes as far as the Cubao terminal from Bolinao during Fridays and Saturdays. Skip the ordinary buses of Five Star as they can be extra filthy. Other bus lines that go to Pangasinan are Dagupan Bus Line, City Trans, and Philippine Rabbit. There are jeepneys and mini-buses between towns as well as tricycles (motorcycles with sidecars). Do not forget to take a road map of Pangasinan before embarking on a trip.

A round table discussion about writing, publishing, intellectual property and copyright sponsored by the provincial government in coordination with the Filipinas Copyright Licensing Society, Inc. (FILCOLS)was held Friday at the Malong conference room with members of the Ulopan na Pansiansay Salitan Pangasinan (UPSP) participating. Pangasinan Tourism Officer Maria Luisa A. Elduayan said the undertaking aimed to provide assistance to budding literary writers in the province especially members of the UPSP who, she said, are doing a great job in preserving the Pangasinan language, culture and literature. Elduayan said Gov. Amado T. Espino, Jr. fully supported the move because one of the prerogatives of the present administration is to promote Pangasinan arts and culture and that includes the revival of literary works in the Pangasinan language. UPSP is composed of Pangasinan literary and song writers as well as literary professors from the Pangasinan State University and private universities in the province. FILCOLS Executive Director Alvin J. Buenaventura said that his office was willing to extend assistance to UPSP in terms of copyright education and book-related activities to fully maximize the exercise of the right of reproduction over their literary works as provided for under the Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines. Copyright is a branch of Intellectual Property which pertains to the rights given to creators or authors for their literary and artistic works. The domain of works includes writings, music, fine art (photography, painting or sculptures) and technology- based works (computer software programs, websites, and electronic databases). This protects the expression of thoughts or ideas, not the thought or ideas themselves. During the forum, Abdon Balde, Jr., chairperson of the Unyon ng mga Manunulat sa Pilipinas, provided the participants with insights on writing, publishing and marketing of literary works. (PIO/PIA Pangasinan/danny) pangasinense ak January 29th, 2011, 02:23 PM RN Heals registration up till Feb 4 By Venus H. Sarmiento DAGUPAN CITY (28 Jan) – Unemployed registered nurses have until February 4 to register and be a part of the RN HEALS program. RN HEALS or the Registered Nurses for Health Enhancement and Local Service Projects is a joint program of the departments of health, social welfare and development , labor and employment and the Professional Regulation Commission. It is a one year employment program for nurses who will pass the screening process. DOLE Ilocos Region Information Officer Arly Valdez said the DOLE is in charge of the recruitment and selection of qualified nurses for deployment. DSWD is in charge of the identification of areas where the nurses would be deployed under its Conditional Cash Transfer Program while the PRC is tasked on verifying the licenses of the nurses. The DOH is in charged of the over-all coordination of the program. Valdez said the program aims to give employment to nurses and at the same time deploy them to help in the health programs in the barangays. Deployed nurses will be given a stipend of P8,000 and an additional P2,000 from the local government unit which is still being coordinated by the departments. Interested applicants should have a valid PRC license, resident of the CCT area, preferably no nursing –related practice for the past three years, medical certificates issued by government hospitals stating that the applicant is fit to work and should not be a beneficiary of the Nurses Assigned in Rural Service (NARS) project implemented before. The on-line registration at the DOLE website started on January 17 and will end on February 4 in time for the deployment on February 10. Valdez said that as of Friday afternoon (Jan 28), a total of 3,709 nurses from Region I have registered for the program. The bulk of the applicants was in Pangasinan with 1,379 followed by La Union with 1,170 applicants. Ilocos Sur registrants reached 591 while Ilocos Norte had 569 applicants. (PIA-Pangasinan) pangasinense ak January 29th, 2011, 02:24 PM Massive river clean-up draws praise BINMALEY, Pangasinan, Jan. 28 – Binmaley Mayor Lorenzo Cerezo has lauded Gov. Amado T. Espino, Jr. for his all-out support and for pioneering the massive river clean-up drive in this town that paved the way for the holding of the first fluvial parade of the Sigay Festival. Cerezo said the activity was not possible without the governor and the Task Force Kalikasan in cleaning the rivers. The massive river clean-up drive is part of ”Ilog Ko, Bilayen Tan Aroen Ko,” an environmental advocacy campaign launched by the Espino administration. Meanwhile, Espino urged the people to work hand-in-hand with the provincial government pointing out “what they are doing are not for us, but it’s for the next generation and for our children’s children. “Gamitin natin ng wasto ang ating mga ilog at kalikasan dahil malaki ang maitutulong nito sa ating kabuhayan at ekonomiya,” Espino said. Cerezo said the move to clean the rivers has benefitted his townspeople because most of the residents depend on raising and selling fish, shrimps, prawns and other marine products. Some 33 barangays participated in the fluvial parade. The winner for the best fluvial float will be announced on January 30 during the Barangay Night. Another activity was the signing of Manifesto dubbed “Panata sa Pangangalaga sa Kalikasan ng Binmaley”, led by Espino, Cerezo together with barangay officials to achieve a sustained, holistic effort to protect and rehabilitate rivers of the town. (PIO/PIA Pangasinan/danny) pangasinense ak January 29th, 2011, 02:29 PM Business tax collections up in Dagupan Dagupan City, Jan. 28 -- About P40 million has been collected by the One Stop Business Center (OSBC) here since the start of fiscal year 2011 following the intensified campaign against delinquent taxpayers. Local Treasury Operations Officer III Carmen Q. Olpindo said that the city collected a total of P38,431,358.84 from January 3 to 20 alone. Olpindo said the closure order imposed against business firms failed to pay their business permits and licenses in the past was a big factor in the increased tax collection this year. “Marami sa mga taxpayers natin ang nagbayad to beat the closure order kaya tumaas ang collection natin,” she said. She said the taxpayers’ base also expanded.“Na-widen yung taxpayers base natin kaya ganito kalaki ang collection natin sa business permit and license, real property, community tax (individual and corporate), and miscellaneous,” she said. Olpindo said there is no extension of the deadline for tax payments. After January 20, late payments will be charged with a one-time 25 percent surcharge and two percent interest which will be imposed for every month of delay. The treasurer’s office expects some 5,000 business taxpayers this year.

This was revealed by Mayor Hernani A. Braganza during yesterday’s New Year’s Call held at the Don Leopoldo Sison which was attended by government line agencies based in the city, NGOs, department heads and barangay officials here. Braganza, concurrent Secretary General of the League of Cities of the Philippines (LCP), noted that Alaminos did it despite being a component city and one of the youngest cities in the country today. He said that in terms of income, Alaminos is even on its way on barging into the elite club- the top 50 economies among the 122 member-cities of LCP. “That says well of the kind of people who live in Alaminos," he added. "That they want to excel, that they want to become better. That we have bigger dreams to achieve for us to become progressive and improve our way of life.” But with all the major developments happening in the city and for successfully translating his visions into worthy programs for betterment of his citymates, he remains humble. The hardworking three-termer mayor pointed out that this is not his job alone and not the only person to be credited with this achievement of the city today. “All of us must be given credit and all of us deserve a round of applause because we did it all together and this is what governance is all about," he added. "That governance is not for our self but for the people, for bigger majority of the people of Alaminos. " Braganza said, “regardless of our political convictions, we are one in our mandate, promise and conviction to serve our citymates”. The mayor who is being groomed to be Pangasinan’s next governor has more than two years left in his third term to fully realize all this visions and programs for his city and citymates. And while sharing some of his time and expertise with the LCP for the latter to become the top partner of the Aquino administration in improving the lives of the Filipinos, he makes sure that his pet projects will be completed before his term ends in 2013. The major infrastructure projects of his administration currently being constructed namely the Alaminos Airport Dev’t. Project, Hundred Islands Medical Services Complex, Pangasinan State University-Alaminos City Campus, Hundred Islands Hotel, and the Gawad Kalinga Hundred Island Eco-Village speaks well of his utmost desire of making Alaminos a progressive and vibrant green global city in the future. The city government is also set to improve the existing city plazas and tourism facilities at Hundred Islands National Park while luring more investors to start their business here. Under his stewardship, Alaminos continue to excel in sports and education, providing better health care to the city residents, ensuring peace and order and strengthening the agri and business sector while enhancing on its tax collection scheme to raise more funds, without increasing taxes, to finance an array of projects in the barangays. His administration also remains steadfast in its commitment of purging the city against illegal fishing activities and one of the country’s leading advocates of environmental conservation, protection and rehabilitation. The former two-term congressman likewise stopped illegal drugs trade which was very rampant before he assumed his post in 2004 and its possible resurgence in the city. Alaminos has also been jueteng free for the last seven years now, one of the few cities in the entire country to achieve such feat despite the juicy offers from jueteng operators and other tremendous political pressures. “It has always been my dream for our city to be developed, progressive and competitive and for our citymates to live in dignity and harmony,” said Braganza. "For this will strengthen the foundation of our economy and every Alaminian family." “That is what I intended to do for the City of Alaminos when I became your mayor and what I intend to accomplish after I graduate by 2013,” he added. “And I am happy that so far we are meeting our targets although we still have a lot of work to do like addressing more problems of our city.” Braganza is very happy and confident though that Alaminos is in a much better position today on addressing the problem of poverty and coming up with the right solution to sustain the city’s economic take-off with the support of his constituents. He might soon be training sight on his old seat in Congress or follow the footsteps of his uncle, former Gov. Enrique Braganza, to serve his fellow Pangasinenses. For now, he stays focused on continue serving best his beloved constituents, completing his lasting legacies for his citymates and making Alaminos a more livable, peaceful and progressive city. The same thing he will do in the future for his district or his province.(CIO) http://www.alaminoscity.gov.ph (http://www.alaminoscity.gov.ph.com) pangasinense ak January 29th, 2011, 02:57 PM OPAL sportsfest kicks-off Date: January 26, 2011 Already aligned in aspiration and started working for a common goal, now they are united in sports. Alaminos City Mayor Hernani A. Braganza formally opened the first One Pangasinan Alliance of LGUs (OPAL) sportfest yesterday at Plaza Marcelo Ochave here at the city’s central business district. Present during the grand opening were mayors John Rodney Arcinue (Sual), Jose Pajeta, Jr. (Agno), Aldrin Cerdan (Anda), Alberto Guiang, Jr. (Burgos), Marcelo Navarro (Bani) and Noel Nacar (Dasol) and representatives of Mabini and Infanta. Competing in the game of basketball men and volleyball, which runs until early summer, are the employees and lawmen of the nine members of OPAL. The friendship games will be a home and away format to give chance to each team to play in front of their fellow employees and hometown crowd. In his message, Braganza, who is OPAL’s lead convenor, extended his warm welcome and thanked the members of the competing teams headed by their respective mayors and local officials for their participation. “We are members of OPAL and today we are one is sports,” he said. “We hope to see you in your respective towns in the next several days.” The vibrant chief executive also took the opportunity to invite his districtmates to join Alaminians in celebrating its 7th Viva San Jose Gali-La Hundred Islands Festival from March 19-26, 2011. "We hope to see you all in our city fiesta," he added. "We are expecting you to take part in our sport activities lined up like the first-ever Island to Island Swim, Rock-rackan Mountain Bike Challenge, Tour de Hundred Islands II, Gali-La HINP Plunge and Kayak Race." Braganza is likewise hopeful that the Hundred Islands Adventure Zipline structure will be completed within this year as another way of promoting the city’s pride to the local and foreign tourists. More than a year ago, OPAL was among the four LGU clusters out of 54 applicants in the country that passed the criteria set by DILG and won a grant from Canadian International Development Agency. OPAL, a brainchild of Mayor Braganza, is a cluster of local government units in western Pangasinan with intersecting boundaries and common socio-economic and even political interests that requires an integrated intervention. “OPAL has nine members from the original of seven in 2010 and the only alliance that is equally led by the mayors and not a governor,” said the mayor. “(In OPAL), we set aside our personal interests to unite as one family of LGU in the first district and to show that we can grow together and become progressive,” he continued. A classic example, according to the mayor, is the timely assistance extended by fire fighters from different towns in the first district in putting out the fire that gutted a commercial building at the heart of the city last week. Braganza said OPAL members have aligned their aspiration, came up with a collective vision and worked together not only to realize its programs but also to promote the whole district. The mayor cited that 1/3 of Pangasinan is the first district which also has the most number of natural and best tourist destinations in the province. “Basically, that’s the main reason why we fought for the establishment of an airport facility here in our district,” he added. “This airport project in Alaminos along the Sual seaport, which construction is also on-going, will soon open floodgates of opportunities not only for the first district but for the entire province.” Aside from its tourism potentials, the first district according to mayor is gifted with rich environment and natural resources having irrigated and flat lands, rolling hills, seas and rivers, caves, springs and waterfalls. “We are the most balanced congressional district, environmental wise, in the province of Pangasinan,” he stressed further. “I do believe that, as long as we are united, we can easily provide food for the whole province because of our vast natural resources.” But the former two-term congressman of the first district said he still have some dreams for his district. He said Alaminos is lucky to be the center of trade,commerce, education and health care in western Pangasinan and is always ready to reach out to its fellow OPAL members . There is now a new Pangasinan State University campus in the city situated in Brgy.Bolaney and adjacent to it is the Hundred Islands Medical Services Complex which is currently being constructed. The first city government-owned 3-storey hotel is also being erected in Lucap Wharf. Braganza said while waiting for the completion of this mega project in our city, in Sual and other towns in the district, OPAL members must prepare on the huge developments and opportunities in terms of jobs and business. “We, your local officials share common dream and sentiment that is for our districtmates to benefit from the wealth of our district,” he added. “And as long as we continue working together, we will all realize our noble programs for the whole district,” he finally quipped. (CIO)buti pa ang OPAL may nakikita na tayong association.... pangasinense ak January 29th, 2011, 03:00 PM Hundred Islands still Pangasinan’s tourism hub Date: January 27, 2011 The figures won’t lie. And so are the photos and the feedbacks coming from the tourists that were mesmerized by the beauty of the majestic Hundred Islands National Park (HINP). Alaminos City, home of the world famous Hundred Islands, remains to be the province’s tourism capital based on 2010 Tourism Operations Division (TOD) 2010 Survey of Tourists and Visitors Arrivals. This survey of tourist arrivals furnished to the city tourism office was based on accommodation establishments and tourist destination from January to December. It was learned that Hundred Islands had drawn 162, 714 tourists or more than 75% of the total number of tourists that visited major tourist destination in the province. “It’s definitely higher and could become an all time high once records of tourist arrivals coming to Bolo Beach and city’s mangrove parks were included,” said park manager Reynaldo Livara, Jr. Also in the survey, at the distant second, is Capitol Complex in Lingayen town with 40, 683 guests and the Manleluag Hot Spring Protected Landscape in Mangatarem at third place with 13,993 visitors. Livara even noted that in 2009 survey, the city had lured 145, 113 tourists or an increase of 12 percent, a trend that started in 2004, when the city government begun promoting the HINP. Mayor Hernani A. Braganza, who was instrumental in getting back the HINP from the national government, considered the result of the survey as another victory for the city. “This is another remarkable feat for all Alaminians who defended the city’s pride from the malicious reports and political motivated efforts to destroy the image of the Hundred Islands,” he stressed. “It (report) effectively belied accusations that the Hundred Islands had became “stinky” and an “ugly sight”, due to alleged fishpond operations in the area," added the mayor noting that the city have nothing to hide. “The survey renders those who spread the negative reports as liars.” For the province’s political pundits, it’s a total vindication of the Braganza administration which did almost everything just to revive the city’s tourism industry aimed at repositioning the city back into the nation and country’s tourism map and at the same time generating more revenues to benefit its people. Last year, the provincial government, through its Task Force Kalikasan, fed the media with so many lies and barrage of supposed exposes that the alleged fishpond structures have left the HINP desecrated and unsafe to tourists. It boomeranged on the face of the accusers when the truth finally came out that the city government won’t do anything that would destroy the good image and the resources of the Hundred Island they have long been protecting. HINP, the first marine reserve park proclaimed in 1940, is now under the direct supervision, management and control of the city government after sixty five long years under administration of the Philippine Tourism Authority. It was officially turned-over to the city last Sept. 29, 2005 after the signing of Executive Order No. 436 by former President Gloria M. Arroyo. Today, HINP is one of the few national parks in the country that is directly taken cared by a local government with the support from the national government. And probably the best managed and most protected nature’s gift to mankind.(CIO) amigable January 29th, 2011, 03:37 PM http://pinoywired.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/101209-sessionistas-asap.jpg http://www.pinoygigs.com/_xfiles/gigs/8430_big_12514269930.jpg ASAP Sessionistas, Live February 14, 2011.

Local Treasury Operations Officer III Carmen Q. Olpindo said that a record high of 36 percent or a total of P38,431,358.84 increase in collections has been noted from January 3 to 20 this year as compared to the P53,929,765.33 total collections last year. Olpindo believes the closure order issued by the city government against some business firms that did not pay the required business permits and renewed licenses in the past as a big factor for the increased tax collection this year. "Marami sa mga taxpayers natin ang nagbayad to beat the closure order kaya tumaas ang collection natin (Most of the taxpayers paid to beat the closure order hence, our collection increased)," said Olpindo. She, however, quickly explained that the increase was not only the result of tax generation schemes being waged by Mayor Benjamin S. Lim, but also due to the enhancement of taxpayers' base. "Na-widen lang yung taxpayers base natin kaya ganito kalaki ang collection natin sa (Our taxpayers base was widened hence, our collection is big in) business permit and license, real property, community tax (individual and corporate), and miscellaneous," she said. In 2010, OSBC reported a collection of P36,418,391.89 in business permit and license; P12,487,291.44, real property; P906,454.80, community tax (individual); P936,777.33, community tax (corporate); and P3,180,849.87, miscellaneous. Olpindo said no extension as to the deadline for payment of tax last January 20 has been issued, which means that after January 20, late payments will be charged with a one-time 25 percent surcharge and two percent interest which will be imposed for every month of delay. "More or less 4,000 business taxpayers have already settled their accounts to the city, but we are expecting a total of more than 5,000 business taxpayers this year," said Olpindo.

The curious yet spectacular geological formation – the 123 islets of the Hundred Islands National Park off the city of Alaminos itself is said to be 2 million years old not to mention the fossilized giant clams that were found at the Coral Mountain found 2 kilometers away from Patar in Bolinao which have an estimated age of about 4-5 million years old. pangasinense ak January 30th, 2011, 04:19 AM http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/puntariveraresortjpg10.jpg Philippines pangasinan Sunset on Patar Beach Sunset on Patar Beach Photo by Dave Ryan A. Buaron http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/urduja.gif Moving forward to a much younger era – an ancient kingdom called Luyang na Kaboloan was said to have existed inside the present day borders of Pangasinan (Agno River Valley and Pangasinan Plain) – way before the Spaniards had conquered and eventually colonized the Philippines, a legendary princess named Urduja was said to have ruled this ancient kingdom around the 14th century. The legend of this princess is also shared by the Ibaloi people of the Cordillera province of Benguet. The kingdom enjoyed full independence and flourished during the age of the Asian maritime trade that connected Pangasinan with other parts of the Philippines, as well as with other cultures and societies in Southeast Asia (and most likely with the Srivijaya and Majapahit Empires), China, India and the Pacific. It was believed that Malayo-Polynesian settlers established Pangasinan and the people of Pangasinan were heirs of this very ancient Malayo-Polynesian civilization. These Malayo-Polynesians were expert mariners who sailed ships along routes that extended to as far as Madagascar and the Eastern Pacific. Archeological evidence and ancient records from China and India show that the people of Pangasinan traded with China, Japan and India in 8th Century A.D. http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/asin.jpghttp://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/asin1.jpg Today, this pretty province which about 3 million people call home, is a lively mix of commercial activities, diverse cultures, colorful history, untapped tourism potential The name Pangasinan means “place where salt was made”, “land of salt” or “place of salt-making” – derived from the word asin, which meant “salt” in the Pangasinan language, and true enough the province is a major producer of salt in the Philippines with its many salt beds in most of its coastal towns – a primary source of livelihood. Pangasinan is bordered by the massive Cordillera Mountain Range, Zambales to the southwest, Tarlac to the south and the Lingayen Gulf and the South China Sea to the north. http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/da7.jpghttp://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/pangasinan-lingayen2.jpg When the Spanish seized control of the islands of the Philippines, the country was subdivided into provinces and in 1850, Pangasinan was “formally created” by Governor General Ronquillo de Peñalosa. During the Philippine Revolution, Pangasinenses (Pangasinan people) also rose in revolt culminating in the Battle of Dagupan days after General Emilio Aguinaldo proclaimed Philippine Independence 12 June 1898. The Battle of Dagupan which was led by Philippine revolutionary General Francisco Makabulos, the chief of the Central and Directive Committee of the Central and Northern Luzon, crushed the last remnants of the retreating Spanish forces which were being pummeled everywhere in the islands. Dagupan’s remaining Spanish forces made their last stand at the city’s brick-walled Catholic Church. Like dominoes, each town fell to the Philippine revolutionary forces – Santa Barbaram Malasiqui, Urdaneta, Mapandan, Mangaldan, Alaminos, Agno, Anda, Alos, Bani, Balincaguin, Bolinao, Dasol, Eguia, Potot, Labrador, Sual, Salasa, and Bayambang and Dagupan. During the Second World War, the Lingayen Gulf was one of the most important and most strategic places of battle for the Pacific War Theatre. Just a few days after Pearl Harbor was bombed, on 22 December 1941, Lt. Gen. Masaharu Homma of the Japanese 14th Army landed on its shores almost effortlessly – engaging in only minor skirmishes – the Japanese forces started their three year occupation of the gulf until the Lingayen Gulf Landings in 1945 – when about 203,608 soldiers landed and started the retaking of the gulf from Japanese forces. The Bonuan Blue Beach of Dagupan was one of the landing sites during the Lingayen Gulf Landings by the Liberation Forces in 1945. It now features a Japanese Park, the MacArthur Landing Marker and Tondaligan Park (which is adjunct to the Bonuan Blue Beach). Dagupan is also known for its St. John’s Cathedral and its Old Spanish Railway Station. Unfortunately Bonuan Beach has fallen on hard times – with allegations of prostitution and underage drinking running rampant in the area. Dagupan, however, might have its saving grace in its grilled delicious boneless milkfish (called “bangus” in Tagalog) that can be had in this city which also serves as the province’s commercial center. http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/bayambang-2-2.jpg Traces of its tumultuous past, however, are almost gone save for its many historically important churches – some of which run up to about 400 years old like the church of St. James Fortress or more commonly known as Bolinao Church. Constructed by the Augustinians in 1609 (which means it is 400 years old as of this writing), this brick-stoned church made originally of adobe and coral stone was severely damaged during devastating Typhoon Emong of 2009 when its roof was virtually ripped off by about 275 kph winds in the very same year that it celebrates its 400th birthday. Right now, the church is in a very sad state- and is in dire need of help. Donations come in but unfortunately not enough to do the speedy reconstruction of this beautiful church. For those interested to help, I don’t have the contact details of the current parish priest, but I will post it here as soon as I have the information or anyone could just contact the Pangasinan provincial government through its website – http://www.pangasinan.gov.ph/. The church also houses Aztec looking engravings (tongue protruding and grinning faces) on the base of its antique altar – we reckon that this was of possible Mexican/Aztec influence brought over during the Galleon Trade. http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/manaoag.jpg Philippines pangasinan Manaoag Church Manaoag Church Photo by ranesbluesky For the Catholic religious, Pangasinan means one thing – pilgrimage to the Our Lady of Manaoag whose Spanish-Romanesque (with touches of Italian and German Renaissance architectural composition) church which sits on a hilltop in the town of Manaoag plays host to a supposedly miraculous image of Mary whose ivory image was brought to the Philippines by Fr. Juan de San Jacinto from Spain by way of Acapulco. Apparently four bombs fell on the church during the last days of the World War 2 which damaged the façade – one fell on the roof of the church and did not explode boosting perceptions that the image was indeed miraculous. Check out other centuries old-churches – St. Vincent Ferrer (1614) in Bayambang, Parish of St. Ildephonse (1699) of Malisiqui, St. Dominic Parish (1587) in San Carlos; St. Joseph Parish (1810) in Aguilar, Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes (Salasa) (1720) in Bugallon, Epiphany of Our Lord Parish in Lingayen (1575); St. Peter Martyr Parish (1835), and St. Peter & Paul Church (1588) in Calasiao. pangasinense ak January 30th, 2011, 04:20 AM http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/p12.jpg Bolinao probably has the finest beaches in the entirety of Pangasinan – with the beach in Patar (about 30-45 minutes away from Bolinao town centre) the most scenic and the most well-known. I was prepared to be underwhelmed by Patar (about 45 minutes away from Bolinao town- PhP200 tricycle ride), but instead, I was welcomed by a gorgeous looking cream colored sandy beach, and very clean, turquoise waters which reminded me of the cream-colored to golden beaches of Australia (which probably partly explains the presence of a small Aussie community in the area). The beach is pretty clean, and there are no pushy touts in the area, and on an ordinary weekend, you can get a piece of solitude in Patar. We found the beach in Patar extremely likable and didn’t mind just chilling out with a beer for breakfast in one of the small open-air nipa huts in the area. Be forewarned though, we spied a karaoke machine in the area (we secretly wished it would surrender and break down against the salty ocean air). We encountered a group of Koreans living in Baguio City who tried to practice their English on our group (which was composed by 3 Australians and 1 Filipino). Our expat writer, Scott Allford cheekily suggested that Patar is better than the most famous and apparently best Korean Beach- Haeundae Beach (where you have more people than sand and you have to pay to be under one of the gazillion umbrellas on the beach). The Korean guy replied, that Patar has no nightclubs – and all of us (me and the three Aussies included) smiled – Exactly – and this is the main reason why Philippine beaches are better than most of the popular beaches in the world – beaches like Patar are relatively unspoiled, charming and not too commercialized which is the way beaches should be. If a low pressure area is nearby, Patar Beach (reef break) also offers great surfing opportunities and there is little surfing community in the area mostly composed of resident Aussies. Apart from Patar, there are other notable beaches in Bolinao – the Balingasay Beach, and the stretches of beaches along Ilog Malino. There is a Marine Sanctuary on Silaki/Silaqui Island which features Giant Clams. In other parts of Pangasinan, other beaches that are worth checking out are Sabangan Beach off Infanta, Tambobong White Sand Beach (favorite of anglers) of Dasol, and the Tondol White Sand Beach of Anda. Patar’s Beach, however, has faults of its own – the disgusting pile of concrete called Treasures of Bolinao, the most prominent hotel in the area, not only basically encroached on the beach itself but had the chutzpah to build an elevated walkway on three natural rock formations- an illegal act, if not a total crime against nature if not against the law. Sensible travelers and residents in the area have complained about this eyesore which unfortunately wasn’t destroyed by the last big typhoon that hit Bolinao. I would like to dissuade anyone from patronizing the services of this horrible, horrible hotel until they rectify this grievous act against nature. A few minutes away by foot from Patar is the Cape Bolinao Lighthouse (30.78 Meters/101 Ft.) on a hill on Punta Piedra Point, it is the second tallest in the country after the Cape Bojeador Lighthouse in Burgos, Ilocos Norte. The Bolinao Lighthouse was built in 1905 by British, Filipino and American engineers and is one of the 5 most prominent lighthouses in the country. The lighthouse is literally dying and in need of immediate repair after it was severely damaged by Typhoon Emong. The building right next to it lies in ruins and almost all hope has been abandoned as no one seems to have done anything about this important piece of history. With the Philippine Coast Guard as the sole owner of the Lighthouse and the Local Government of Bolinao as the main caretaker, we hope that the lighthouse will eventually be saved and preserved and continue to stand as a sentinel of Bolinao and safely guide the ships that pass around the area. The Lighthouse has a 140-step winding stairway that goes up to the illumination tower and when it is working in its best condition (not at the moment of course) is visible 44 kilometers away guiding ships led to the Bolinao area by the Zambales lighthouse (presumably Capones Island Lighthouse) and then toward to the Poro Point Lighthouse in La Union. According to the late Bolinao historian, Catalino Catanaoan, Cape Bolinao’s Lighthouse original light machine was manufactured in England, while the lantern, with three wicks and chimneys was imported from France. For its first 80 years of operation, kerosene was used in the lighthouse in Bolinao and then when the local electric cooperative extended its operations to Patar, the lighthouse began to run on electricity (which seems to be extremely fickle in Bolinao- we caught a power outage whilst we were in Patar). http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/cape-bolinao-lighthouse.jpg Philippines pangasinan Bolinao Lighthouse Bolinao Lighthouse Photo by Dave Ryan A. Buaron http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/pangasinan_kakupangan_cave.jpghttp://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/cacupangancave.jpg There are three popular caves in Bolinao but only two are worth recommending. The three caves are Enchanted Cave, Wonderful Cave and Cindy’s Cave. All charge a nominal entrance fee. Enchanted Cave is the most popular, with crystal clear natural swimming pools underground, coral formations, stalagmites and a display of fossilized Giant Clams. Wonderful Cave is small and a little private but there is a time limit of about 30 minutes per stay. Cindy’s Cave is the shallowest amongst the three, with the kitschy addition of a shower in the middle of the swimming area (that was a little bit random, we think) and apparently, not the cleanest waters either. You may also want check out Cacupangan Cave, (as well as Binmatya and Arasaas Caves) in Mabini town with an underground flowing into the Balincaguing River (do this only during the dry season) and the 200 meters long Villacorta Caves (also in Mabini) features basin-like formations, terraced rock, a chamber and gypsum flowers. Apart from beaches and caves, Bolinao is also known for its waterfalls – Bolinao Falls 1 and 2 (not as named imaginatively as the Wonderful and Enchanted Caves) but what they lack in creative names they compensate with their refreshingly clean waters and seemingly unspoiled, pretty scenery. The waterfalls are located in Samang Norte which can be reached in about 40 minutes by tricycle with mostly very bad roads on the way. Tara Falls is nearby the bridge going to Anda but it is too small and unimpressive and unless you have time to kill, is not exactly on our must check out list. You may also want to check out Mambaciano and Mayaman Waterfalls near Canal Bay in Sual and Antong Falls in Sison. http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/ala5.jpg Philippines pangasinan Bolinao Falls Bolinao Falls Photo by Dave Ryan A. Buaron http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/clear-water-4001.jpg The Fourteen Mile Reef off Santiago Island is perfect for diving and is teeming with marine life and hard and soft corals. http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/FarlHundredIslands.jpghttp://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/hundred_island_header.jpg Unarguably, the Hundred Islands National Park is the ultimate crown jewel of Pangasinan tourism where its 123 islets sitting on the tranquil waters of Lingayen Gulf congregate in a small area just off the city of Alaminos. The islands, most of which are uninhabited, offer snorkeling, swimming, spelunking, camping and kayaking opportunities with its many strips of white sand beaches and sand bars. The best developed is probably Quezon Island (named after the Philippine Commonwealth President Manuel L. Quezon) with facilities that include 2 dining pavilions, grilling area and Giant Clams Garden. Governor’s Island, meanwhile, who once played host to the Philippine edition of that campy reality TV franchise – Big Brother has a house here which one can now rent if one decides to stay at Governor’s Island. Governor’s Island also has a view deck which boasts sweeping views of this beautiful National Park. For people with kids, the Children’s Island meanwhile has the shallowest waters in the marine park and perfect for children to practice their swimming skills. The Hundred Islands National Park has Bantay Dagat (literally “Sea Guardians”) who protect the marine park from illegal fishing and also double as lifeguards in case of emergencies – Other places of interest would be the Manleluag Spring National Park in Mangatarem, the Agno Umbrella Rocks (three mushroom shaped stone boulders) of Agno, the hot and cold springs of Mt. Balungao near Rosales, the Limahong Channel (where the infamous Chinese corsair escaped after his failed attempt to establish a colony on the shore of Manila Bay). pangasinense ak January 30th, 2011, 04:21 AM Why Not Go If you are looking for a high-flying nightlife like in more organized tourist destinations, it is not quite the way it is in Pangasinan (save for the Hundred Islands National Park). There are quite a few malls in the main cities but otherwise, living is basic and in most areas, there are even no ATMs around. Why Go For an ordinary long weekend getaway, Pangasinan offers refreshing respite from the more popular Philippine destinations with its quaint coastal villages and charming beaches that rarely see outside visitors. You can basically see the sun rise over the Hundred Islands and drive westward to Patar Beach and see the sunset on the same day! Now how cool is that! Best Time to Visit Best time to go is during the dry season and during ordinary weekends. Patar Beach and a lot of tourist spots usually get pretty crowded during Easter but are okay during most of the year. Where to Stay Philippines Hotels and Resorts Save up to 75% on hotels in Philippines There are resorts and hotels all over the major cities and if it is usually near the beach, there should be a hotel or two. For a more complete listing of hotels in Pangasinan please contact – http://www.pangasinan.gov.ph/ or you may contact the Department of Tourism Regional Office in La Union – Martin Valera, Regional Director, (Oasis Country Resort, National Highway, Bgy.

Bangus happens to be the National Fish of the Philippines as well and we had the best Bangus we ever had in Pangasinan- grilled or fried- the serving is large and cheap (compared to the its diminutive cousins served in the restaurants of Manila. Alaminos has its own take on the longganiza as well. And the sweet sticky rice with coconut dessert called tupig which seemed to be ubiquitous in this region is a must try. http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/lingayenfinal1.gifhttp://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/bagoong.jpg Another must bring home item from Pangasinan is a bottle of fermented fish paste – Pangasinan’s take on that important Filipino foodie must-have- the bagoong. Make sure to pick one up whenever you are in the area. Nightlife http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/upang7-1.jpg Pangasinan nightlife is more associated with Dagupan although it is a little shady and not highly recommended. The best way to spend your nights in Pangasinan is by the beach, having quiet barbecue dinners under the stars and enjoying the sweet solace of being so far and away from the lunacy of Manila urban life. My to do List 1. Kayak or do island-hopping at the Hundred Islands. ** 2. Snorkel and check out the Giant Clams at Silaki Island. ** 3. Chill out the Patar Beach in Bolinao.* 4. Sample the Boneless Bangus.* 5. Take a dip at the waterfalls of Bolinao. * 6. Do a pilgrimage to the Manaoag Shrine. ** 7. Bring back a bottle of the famous Bagoong Pangasinan.* 8. See the Bolinao Lighthouse.* 9. Cool off from the searing sun by relaxing in the pools of Wonderful and Enchanted Caves.* 10. Share a glass of local wines (tuba) with locals of Dasol. Stay Away From 1. Mosquitoes! – just bring bug repellent to be sure 2. Dust Mites. – bring Lysol with you, if you think the hotel room is oldish and not cleaned properly. 3. UV rays – Apply ample sun protection and sunglasses. 4. Heat stroke- take plenty of fluids – make sure you have a few bottles of ion-based drinks handy. Getting There If you are not coming with a tour group, there are many buses that ply to different points in Pangasinan. If you are heading to the Hundred Islands in Alaminos and Bolinao – Victory Liner and Five Star Buses leave Manila as early as 12 midnight. For going back to Manila, Victory Liner only goes as far as the Cubao terminal from Bolinao during Fridays and Saturdays. Skip the ordinary buses of Five Star as they can be extra filthy. Other bus lines that go to Pangasinan are Dagupan Bus Line, City Trans, and Philippine Rabbit. There are jeepneys and mini-buses between towns as well as tricycles (motorcycles with sidecars). Do not forget to take a road map of Pangasinan before embarking on a trip.

There is the Sabangan Beach where you can find natural umbrella rocks and the Aloleng Beach, simply called "Agno Beach," with its fine sands. http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/agnobeach1.gif Photos below are full views of Agno Beach in Aloleng. Private beach resthouses dot the shoreline and vacant beachlots with array of coconut trees are ideal for camping and bonfire. http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/agnobeach2.gif Agno Beach is also a good place for swimming, snorkeling and diving for it is rich with underwater beauty and marine life. You can find the splendor of marine treasure such as undisturbed corals, edible seaweeds and multicolored fish. Living along the seacoast gives us sigh of relief and heals the wounds of loneliness. The roaring sound of Bangol Crag gives lullaby music during stormy nights. http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/agnobeach3.gif http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/3776651911_f11d240506.jpg If you love the game of hide-and-seek, just confine yourselves at Sabangan Beach under its huge boulders of umbrella rocks adorned with crawling plants. These rocks are like caves. Boy Scouts used to camp overnight under the umbrella rocks as part of their training. You can also make a visit to the lighthouse on the hillside nearby and watch those birds flying from one tree to another. http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/agnobeach4.gif The Mabini River offers a habitat for bangus (milkfish) fry and a variety of fish. It is also a perfect place for boating and boat racing. Swimmers who prefer fresh water stay at the river. And those experienced ones swim across the wide river. http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac251/okalim/agnochurch.jpg In the poblacion, visitors come to see and pray in the centuries-old Roman Catholic Church, a symbol of faith in the town.

Nepales); HAILEE STEINFELD (Photo by Adrianna Barraza) LOS ANGELES – Two Filipino-Americans are nominated in the upcoming 83rd annual Academy Awards that will be held on February 27. Filipino cinematographer Matthew Libatique of “Black Swan,” who is the son of Justiniano (from Dagupan, Pangasinan) and Georgina Libatique (from Lucena, Quezon), is the first 100 percent Filipino to earn a major Oscar nomination. Libatique, who already bagged the best cinematography awards from the Los Angeles Film Critics, the New York Film Critics and the New York Online, is nominated for best in cinematography for his work on “Black Swan” and will be competing against the cinematographers of “Inception,” “The King’s Speech,” “The Social Network,” and “True Grit.” Part-Filipina 14-year-old actress Hailee Steinfeld, whose father is Jewish and whose mother Cheri is part-Filipina, is nominated in the best supporting actress category for her performance in “True Grit.” She will be competing against Golden Globe winner Melissa Leo of “The Fighter,” Amy Adams also of “The Fighter,” Helena Bonham Carter of “The King’s Speech,” and Jacki Weaver of “Animal Kingdom.” The 42-year-old Libatique, who is fondly known as Matty to his colleagues, won a Best Cinematography trophy from the Independent Spirit Awards for “Requiem for a Dream” which was named one of the best shot films of 1998-2008 by the American Cinematographer, the magazine of The American Society of Cinematographers (ASC). A former classmate of “Black Swan” director Darren Aronofsky at the American Film Institute (AFI), Libatique has impressed Aronofsky so much that he has already done five films with him – “Requiem for a Dream,” “The Fountain,” “Pi,” “Protozoa,” “Black Swan” – and next, “Wolverine.” The award-winning cinematographer, who disclosed to us that he used to deliver lechon as his first job when he was 16 years old, learned the basics of photography first from his dad when he was handed his first camera. Libatique, who began his career shooting music videos, has done films with Spike Lee (“Inside Man,” “Miracle at St. Anna,” “She Hate Me”), Joel Schumacher (“Tigerland,” “Phone Booth”) and Jon Favreau (“Iron Man,” “Iron Man 2”). Aronofsky said of Libatique, “We actually grew up with similar backgrounds. He grew up in Queens and I grew up in Brooklyn so we have a lot in common. We just connected really well. It has been a really great life-long collaboration. And Matty, of course, has gone on to do these huge films like ‘Iron Man,’ ‘Iron Man 2’ and ‘Cowboys and Aliens.’ He’s big time now. It is great working with him because he is able to bring that skill set.” Aronofsky added, “Matty also makes the best chicken adobo!” The lovely, charming and talented Hailee Steinfeld, on the other hand, admitted, “I have not been to the Philippines but I am looking forward to going there one of these days. I hear it is a beautiful country.” Steinfeld, whose performance as Mattie Ross in the Ethan and Joel Coen 2010 adaptation of “True Grit” also earned her nomination nods from the Houston Film Critics Society for Best Supporting Actress and the Washington DC Area Film Critics Association Award for Best Supporting Actress. We recently bumped into Steinfeld and her mom Cheri at the 68th Golden Globe Awards and the part-Filipina actress was happy that her mom, whose father is Filipino, has devoted all her attention now to Steinfeld’s acting career. “My mom used to be an interior designer,” Steinfeld said. Having the best actors in Hollywood as her co-stars – Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon, Josh Brolin – in her first movie was quite an experience for Steinfeld. “They all have daughters of their own and I felt like I was one of their own,” she admitted. “They’re just so amazing, down-to-earth and humble. I learned so much from their actions. They are such a joy to be around on and off set. I am so honored and blessed. pangasinense ak January 30th, 2011, 01:00 PM oh sige na aliguas ..di na ako makaintay ..@joe musta kabayan......mukhang bc karin nakaraang mga araw ..... christian joe January 30th, 2011, 01:07 PM Mayor Lim shuts down Bacayao Sur open dumpsite Posted on January 30, 2011 - Filed Under Inside News, News | Leave a Comment DAGUPAN Mayor Benjamin Lim has ordered Barangay Chairman Gregorio Taminaya of Bacayao Sur to immediately close the open dumpsite being maintained by the village in violation of the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000. Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Officer (PENRO) Leduina Co recommended the issuance of a “cease and desist order” against the dumpsite, which is reportedly owned by Taminaya. A PENRO inspection team found out last January 17 that the disposal site, supposedly functioning as a Material Recovery Facility (MRF), had a huge amount of solid wastes estimated at around 80 to 100 truck loads, making it an open dumpsite. Open dumpsites are no longer allowed under Section 37 of the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act (Republic Act No. 9003). “This is the first barangay here, which has been issued a closure order as the site does not conform to the waste management policy of the city. There are MRFs operating in other barangays doing waste segregation, but this one is already operating as an open dumpsite and has become a health and sanitation hazard,” said Lim. Barangay Pantal is also reportedly violating the law and is due for inspection. “Gagawa tayo ng paraan to help these barangays to improve their MRFs,” said Lim.(CIO) christian joe January 30th, 2011, 01:08 PM ayos! panu kami makatulong makakatulong dito?? christian joe January 30th, 2011, 01:09 PM Dagupan intensifies tax collection Posted on January 30, 2011 - Filed Under Business, News | Leave a Comment DAGUPAN City, through its One Stop Business Center (OSBC), has reportedly collected P40 million in taxes for the period January 3 to 20, which is already more than 70% of the P54 million total collection for the whole of last year. The increase in tax collection follows the local government’s intensified tax-mapping campaign undertaken by the city treasurer’s office against delinquent taxpayers here. Local Treasury Operations Officer III Carmen Olpindo attributed the increase in collection in part to the closure order against business firms that have not paid the required business permits and renewed licenses in the past. “Marami sa mga taxpayers natin ang nagbayad to beat the closure order kaya tumaas ang collection natin,” said Olpindo. Another part of the strategy was to widen the taxpayers’ base, according to Olpindo. “Na-widen lang yung taxpayers base natin kaya ganito kalaki ang collection natin sa business permit and license, real property, community tax (individual and corporate), and miscellaneous,” she said. The deadline for tax payments was January 20 and no extension has been issued. Those paying thereafter will be charged a one-time 25 percent surcharge and two percent interest for every month of delay. “More or less 4,000 business taxpayers have already settled their accounts to the city, but we are expecting a total of more than 5,000 business taxpayers this year,” said Olpindo.

The DEATH of the SLOGANS era at ang DAGUPAN CITY 2030—NOW Mapping Posted by Vangie Padilla on Jul 14th, 2010 You can leave your comments to this entry. Natutuwa talaga akong obserbahan ang syudad ng Dagupan ngayon. Lalo na't narito na ang hinahangaan nating si Mayor Benjie S. Lim (MBSL). Ang kanyang challenge, ang kanyang action plan, ang kanyang battlecry noon na " give us a chance to build the foundation of Dagupan City for the next 20 years." Kung status update nya yun saFacebook, siguradong ila-like ko yun everyday… Bago sya naupo, maraming mga ordinansa ang pinagtibay sa lungsod ng Dagupan. Sabi ng iba, mga mahahalaga daw na ordinansa ang mga ito. Kung mahahalaga, bakit pinagtibay kung kelan ilang oras na lang bago sila aalis? Bakit hindi noong namamayagpag pa sila sa kanilang termino tsaka nila yun pinagtibay? Nakalimutan o me iniiiwasan? Tulad ng pagbibigay karapatan sa BFAR na syang mamahala sa bagong Bangus processing plant na galing sa grant ng dayuhang gobyerno at nilakad ni dating Congressman Joe De Venecia ( na not-so-bestfriend ni MBSL). Isa rin dito ang ordinansang nagsasaad na limang taon ay hindi magtataas ng renta ng mga vendors sa Malimgas Public Market. Limang taong tatahimik ang buhay ng mga vendors. Matagal-tagal din yon, ah. At may tatlo pang ordinansang pinagtibay bago lumisan ang dating administrasyon. Outnumbered ang grupo ni MBSL sa konseho. Dadalawa ata ang kanyang kasama. Si Brian lang ata at si Red. Kaya may ata, kasi syempre along the way ay may magtitiklupan na rin dyan. At makikisama. Si Maybelyn Dela Cruz- Fernandez ang Majority Floor Leader at si Brian Lim naman ang Minority Leader. Masaya ito. Naiaward na nga daw ang mga komite at syempre ang majority bloc ang nabigyan ng mga key committees sa SP. Isang bonggang GUDLAK din sa administrasyon. Kung paano nila ikakamada ang kaunlaran ng Dagupan City sa kabila ng kanilang katayuan at partido ay isa pang malaking palaisipan. Nagkaroon kamakailan ng fishkill sa Pangasinan. At hindi nakalusot ang Dagupan City dito. Ang Bangus Capital of the World, naging fishkill capital na rin ba? Talagang kahit mga eksperto ay aminadong OVERLOADING at OVERCROWDING ang pangunahing dahilan nito. Si Aling Emma naman kasi ng City Agri, mukhang wala ring ngipin para pigilan ang mga dupang na illegal fishpen operators kahit may ordinansa. Mukhang tinulugan lang ng city gov’t. ang problemang ito, tama ba? Kamakailan ay naibalita sa telebisyon na halos wala na ring pondo ang Dagupan City government at ayon mismo sa tresurera ay humigit kumulang P81 milyon na lang ang natira sa General Fund ng kanilang pondo. Halos nangangapa na ito ng pangsweldo sa sandamakmak nitong mga empleyado. Kaya mangongolekta pa daw ang mga ito. Tutal naman ay madadagdagan din ito ng kanilang mga susunod na IRA. Huwaaaat? Isang napakalaking GUDLAK! Eto na ang totoong buhay. Sabi ni MBSL sa mga empleyadong mukhang na-beybi noon, "Please do your best. Hindi pupuwede yong palakasan sa akin. Hindi porke malapit ka kay mayor ay pwede na. Please do your job and I assure you, you will be fairly compensated. For those of you who will not, I'm sorry to say, you better shape up or be shipped out," babala ng Mayor. May please pa yan ha, pero isa lang ibig sabihin nyan. Umayos ka, o sisipain ka. Pwede ka ring kumain ng shit sa labas … ng administrasyon ( shipped out ). LOL- . Sa pagbabalik daw nya bilang mayor ng Dagupan sa susunod na tatlong taon, sisiguruhin nyang magiging mas live-able ang syudad para sa mga Dagupeno sa tulong ng lahat. Pero ito pa ang kanyang matinding punchline na ikinawindang ng madlang pipol… "Hindi na pwede yung 'business as usual' sa Dagupan City. Hindi na pwedeng slogan tayo ng slogan.We need to do something about our environment, about garbage, about the traffic, law and order. Most especially, we need to do something to create a better atmosphere for more investments and more job opportunities for Dagupenos." Slogan ba ng slogan ang Dagupan? Slogan ba ang 'AListo sa Serbisyo'? 'LIMminggas lamet' ? OMG, banned na pala ang mga sloganizers sa city.. Kaya yung mga THINKERbelles o think tanks o tacticians daw ng kung aning-aning, nako-corny-han na si MBSL sa mga slogan. Think out of the box na. THE DEATH OF SLOGANS era na. Mukha ngang sa mga sususnod na lingo ay ima-map out na ang plano o framework na itatakda sa lungsod para sa susunod na 20 taon. Futuristic na rin ang Dagupan… Dagupan 2030—NOW kuanto met. Masha-shado! Maangas met awa Kuya Rhee? Agaba-gabayan ko yan plano dad Dagupan. Siguro aya so sangka-agustuan kon arengel ko ed sakey ya leader ed samplo’y taon ko lan journalist. Isi-set up na ng mga leaders ngayon ang framework na syang susundan ng susunod na mga henerasyon. This is where the past meets the future.. Diba exciting? Ang tanong, kaya kaya ng mga utak ng iba jan na sundan ang nasabing futuristic mapping o planning? Ambisyosong plano ito. Baka dumugo ang utak ng ilan dyan.. LOL. Huling hagikgik… DAGUPAN CITY WEBSITE. This website is under construction.. GALING! Mabilis ang aksyon. Syempre bago na ang administrasyon, bagong design ng website. Bagong mukha.

A round table discussion about writing, publishing, intellectual property and copyright sponsored by the provincial government in coordination with the Filipinas Copyright Licensing Society, Inc. (FILCOLS)was held Friday at the Malong conference room with members of the Ulopan na Pansiansay Salitan Pangasinan (UPSP) participating. Pangasinan Tourism Officer Maria Luisa A. Elduayan said the undertaking aimed to provide assistance to budding literary writers in the province especially members of the UPSP who, she said, are doing a great job in preserving the Pangasinan language, culture and literature. Elduayan said Gov. Amado T. Espino, Jr. fully supported the move because one of the prerogatives of the present administration is to promote Pangasinan arts and culture and that includes the revival of literary works in the Pangasinan language. UPSP is composed of Pangasinan literary and song writers as well as literary professors from the Pangasinan State University and private universities in the province. FILCOLS Executive Director Alvin J. Buenaventura said that his office was willing to extend assistance to UPSP in terms of copyright education and book-related activities to fully maximize the exercise of the right of reproduction over their literary works as provided for under the Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines. Copyright is a branch of Intellectual Property which pertains to the rights given to creators or authors for their literary and artistic works. The domain of works includes writings, music, fine art (photography, painting or sculptures) and technology- based works (computer software programs, websites, and electronic databases). This protects the expression of thoughts or ideas, not the thought or ideas themselves. During the forum, Abdon Balde, Jr., chairperson of the Unyon ng mga Manunulat sa Pilipinas, provided the participants with insights on writing, publishing and marketing of literary works. (PIO/PIA Pangasinan/danny) saintm January 30th, 2011, 10:25 PM Pangasinan Student Trainees Sent to Singapore Complain of Abuse PUBLISHED ON JANUARY 30, 2011 By LYN V. RAMO Bulatlat.com LINGAYEN, Pangasinan — More student trainees earlier deployed by the Pangasinan State University to train in hotels and restaurants in Singapore went back here recently complaining of poor working conditions in their training. Early in January, a whistleblower alleged anomalies in the recruitment of student trainees for Hotel and Restaurant Management under PSU’s international internship program, which has attracted students even from other universities outside Pangasinan. Besides alleged anomalies in recruitment and enrolment, the whistleblower, who asked not be named, also complained of poor living quarters in a Singapore hostel. He said it was also very far from the workplaces. This time, the homecoming trainees were also complaining of poor working conditions. In an earlier interview, a 24-year-old trainee and graduate of PSU HRM said some students were assigned to work as caddies in a golf and country club when they should have been working in a hotel or a restaurant. He complained also that he did not receive his one-month salary of SD450 before he was sent back to the Philippines after he complained about the poor housing. “PSU authorities are now blaming me for the early return of the other trainees,” the whistleblower said. He said a PSU official even asked him why he aired his grievances to the media. In a sworn statement, the student trainee listed his complaint. He claimed to have emailed the Commission on Higher Education (CHEd) his statement while he was still in Singapore, hoping he would get favorable action from the said agency, but he got nothing. saintm January 30th, 2011, 10:30 PM isama mo pa ang bagong regional network ng ABC 5,..btw nite na sa inyo bukas na lang ulit,,parating na si saintm ..intay nyo daming updates noon hehe:):goodnight:goodnight:goodnight ayayay ngayon ko lang po nabasa msg nyo. kainis naman po night shift ako wala man lang po ako makausap grrr jdcwave January 31st, 2011, 12:35 AM Good Morning Madlang Pangasinan people! :lol::lol::D;D Sample!

It is strategically located along major roads: Mc Arthur Highway, Mayombo Road and De Venecia Highway where other commercial establishments are located. Completion is expected by third quarter of 2011. The project sits on a 60,000-sq.m. lot where the shopping mall will be built. “The mall will provide convenient access for pedestrians via its main central landscape and provide a dedicated vehicular access. There will also be parking areas and drop-off points with canopies within the building’s periphery to allow easy access to the mall,” says Lourdes T. Alano, RLC-Commercial Centers Division VP for lease. The mall façade features a curved-shaped crown detail used as main accent together with creatively placed glass window. The shopping center interiors have a distinctive contrasting play of geometric shapes and straight lines. Present are large atriums and a main atrium that provide a relaxing ambience for shoppers. “The anchor tenants Robinsons Department Store and Robinsons Supermarket , and small retail areas, will be located at the ground floor,” adds Alano. There will be wide and spacious main corridors with kiosks, providing a wide variety of retail outlets while the second floor level houses Robinsons Department Store, Robinsons Appliance, Handyman and a food court. This is also where the Robinsons Movieworld will be located. “We will be operating the first 3D cinema in the region. Now locals and other residents from nearby Dagupan, San Carlos and Alaminos will enjoy total cinematic experience.” Robinsons Place Calasiao also has environmental features. Large hallways and generous floor heights give more air space and natural daylight. A sewage treatment plant for proper discharge of waste water or reuse back into the environment will also be built. Rain water collectors intended for toilet use and landscape maintenance will also be installed.
