The establishment of the Ulupan na Pansiansia'y Salitan Pangasinan must be in response to the UNESCO declaration that there should be two approaches to the preservation of cultural heritage: one is to record it in a tangible form and conserve it in archives; the other is to preserve it in a living form by ensuring its transmission to the next generations. The Ulupan should address these two approaches to preserve and at the same time revitalize our language through written and oral literature.
I've learned now that the Ulupan is too small a group knowing that most of its members are inactive and that some only joined the Ulupan for the sake of joining and for other personal agenda. Honestly, I am a bit disheartened. I do not how to help in the membership campaign as I am based here in Manila wherein Pangasinan-speaking enclaves are indeed very rare. I could perhaps help if there's going to be a membership campaign in colleges & universities there in Pangasinan.
On the other hand, Sergio Bumadilla, an umaanlong writing in Iluko and Pangasinan, is still perplexed with my literary style and could not accept my innovative and experimental approach to Pangasinan poetry. And so I burn and blaze, I, you who speak the language of flowers! Mine is the voice of holy arsonist!
38th sonnet added to Malagilion: Soniton Pangasinan
amin ya oala'd tapew na dalin
amin ya oala'd petek na taoen
oala'y anggaan o pansamputan
oala'y anggaan anggan say aro
oala'y anggaa'y buraka'y dayat
ya onsasampa ed kabatuan
oala'y anggaa'y engas na bilay
na balang sinansakey ed mundo
say sirkulo na bilay ingulis
ya tuldok tan ontunda ed tuldok
amin ondalan dia ed pangaoan
paunla'd nalapuan ya dabok
linaoa la'y dyus Ama no siopa
so ompaoil ed laman nen Adan

Critical readings of the Muslim scripture offer alternative interpretations of well-known passages. Scholars draw techniques of textual criticism from those used to analyze Bible.
