First-ever Asna Award in Pangasinan set
LINGAYEN, Pangasinan, March 14 – The first-ever Asna Award in Pangasinan will be conferred on outstanding Pangasinenses on April 5 this year in connection with the maiden celebration of the 430th Foundation Day of the province.
The Asna Award is distinct from other awards or programs because of its being selective, its prestige and integrity and it accords the highest expression of award recognition to outstanding Pangasinenses.
Asna, an old form of the Pangasinan word “Asin”, usually describes the good quality of a man’s character or his demeanor.
It is from the word "asin" that Pangasinan derived its name. "Pangasinan" was the name given to the province shortly after it was founded by early Spaniards on April 5, 1580.
The Asna Award seeks to give due recognition to outstanding Pangasinenses whose selfless dedication to their profession or vocation has resulted in outstanding contributions to the welfare of the people in Pangasinan and to the country at large.
It is also geared to inspire others, especially the youth, so they could emulate the achievements and leadership skills of the awardees.
The awards committee is composed of highly credible and knowledgeable individuals from the six congressional districts of the province chaired by Arabela V. Arcinue, president of the Pangasinan Heritage Society Inc.
The members shall search for nominations, submit these to the committee, conduct the preliminary screening of nominees and subsequently administer the final judging.
To enable the committee to judge fully and assess equitably the degree of success and extent of an achievement’s repercussions, all nominations should be well documented, as the committee places considerable weight on the testimony submitted by each nominator.
Public officials who are currently elected or running for public office this coming May elections are disqualified to be nominated to the Asna Award.
All entries should be mailed or personally delivered on or before March 22, 2010 to Marion Puzon, secretary, Pangasinan Heritage Society Inc., or Malu Elduayan, Tourism Operations division’s chief of Pangasinan. (PNA)
