I just got back from Pangasinan and yes! finally, we've organized our literary group which was named Pangasinan Writers Association and we decided to have the ASIN (written in Baybayin script) as our symbol and logo. Our major project is to create the Pangasinan Studies Center to be based in one of the universities in Pangasinan. One of the objectives of PWA is to acquire materials which are representative of Pangasinan's documentary heritage and documenting, preserving, maintaining and storing these materials for future generation. Pangasinan journalist / historian, Restituto Basa, will deliver his first lecture entitled The Legacy of Limahong to Pangasinan , as soon as the Pangasinan Studies Center (PSC) is set up. He will also be coming out with A Brief History of Pangasinan written in the vernacular. On the other hand, here's a translation of Gonzalo K. Flores' two haikus published in Liwayway, June 5, 1943. salin ed dua'ran haiku nen Gonzalo K. Flores (impala...

I will be in Dagupan City first thing tomorrow, Saturday July 26, to spearhead the organizational meeting of a would-be literary group. Kinda nervous already because I will be joined, hopefully, by some of the prominent writers in Pangasinan. I proposed the name Pangasinan Council for the Culture & the Arts but according to Dir. Lucas, there's already an existing group with the same name organized by the provincial governor. So, we will either have the Pangasinan Literary Arts Council or the Urduja Creative Writers Association . Will also attend the regular meeting of the Ulupan na Pansiansia'y Salitan Pangasinan (Association for the Preservation of the Pangasinan Language) on the 27th in Lingayen. It's a good thing that the storm Harurot is out of the Philippine territory :)

I attended the AWARD meeting last July 19 at DTI Office in Dagupan City. Dir. Jaime Lucas was very pleased with the new AWARD Junior members organized by Dr. Victor Illustrisimo. The AWARD Junior members will help us in the preparation and the production of the forthcoming issue of the AWARD magazine. We also discussed about the Book, Photo & Art Exhibit to be help on Oct. 11-16 at Dagupan Business Center. Our president also suggested the possibility of adopting the Arguillas Residence as one of our major projects. Prior to the meeting, Dir. Lucas handed to me the amount of P5,000.00 from the Office of the Governor as a financial assistance for the publication of my first book Pinabli tan arum ni'ran Anlong .

Philippine Bibliography - Compiled by the Asian Division of the Library of Congress, this classified bibliography consists of approximately 5000 entries for monographic works about the Philippines in all languages held by the Library. Hmmmm... 5000 entries.... that is quite huge and I pressume the collection is still growing. Too bad I couldn't see any works written in my language. Urduja beleaguered and other essays on Pangasinan language, literature, and culture by Rosa Maria Magno is included in the list though when I searched for the keyword Pangasinan. I am thinking of compiling my own Pangasinan Bibliography...
