On the other hand, I attended the Ulupan meeting in PSU Lingayen last August 31. Discussed about the latest issue of the Balon Silew and the forthcoming issues.
A couple of my articles on Pangasinan literature and poems are included in the April-June issue of the Balon Silew. One poem is featured as the Anlong na Bulan (Poetry of the Month). However, my poem entitled Ngarem na Bilay was erroneusly credited to another name. I've asked Dr. Andaya to reprint the poem in the next issue with due credit and my by-line.
