Wow! Blogger layout is fresh indeed :)
On the other hand, I am supposed to post something last Friday, May 7 but the internet connection in Lingayen was very slow. I could not even access Yahoo!.
Anyway, I only spent a day in Pangasinan. I visited the City Library in Dagupan and gave them two copies of my book for their collection. I proceeded to Lingayen where I also gave two copies of my book to the Provincial Library. They already have a Pangasinaniana section but very few works in Pangasinan language. In fact, they only have less than 20 titles in Pangasinan. Less than 20 titles! Yes, as if there was really no Pangasinan literature.
