Some readers do not have much time to surf the other pages of Pang.Org..Well, I do! I am reproducing a couple of good ones I gleaned from first, the San Carlos City Board and the 2nd one comes from the Rosales Board..I am proud not just being an Asinganian, but also as a Pangasinense..Check out these entries..
SAN CARLOS CITY -- April is bursting with festivities. Aside from Mapandan's Pandan Festival, Alaminos City's 100 Islands Festival, Dagupan City's Bangus Festival, and Pangasinan's Pista'y Dayat, San Carlos City will be holding its Mango-Bamboo Festival. Vice Mayor Julier Resuello said the annual Mango-Bamboo Festival, which was launched in 2001, has become a part of the city's fiesta celebration. The city's festival will not be as grand like the other Pangasinan festivities. The city fiesta is scheduled on April 22-29, but the Mango-Bamboo Festival will be on April 28. Highlight will be the float parade and street dancing with the participants wearing mango and bamboo inspired costumes. The city is widely known as "carabao" mango and bamboo trading area. The trading area used to be at the city plaza and auditorium from Friday to Sunday. Traders from Manila and other provinces regularly come to buy in bulk mango fruits and bamboo by-product. To help the local businessmen (some are straggling entrepreneurs who produce furniture or baskets good only for the market day) command better prices and to accommodate more buyers, Mayor Julian Resuello caused the transfer of the trading area to a wide-open lot in Barangay Roxas adjacent to the new public market. Market revenue also increased with the move. "The festival will serve as an instrument to help improve the marketing of mango and bamboo. This will increase the earnings of mango growers and bamboo craftsmen (some manufacture at their backyards). Some of them rely only on middlemen to market their products for lack of connection and access to exporters and traders, thus they are deprived of fair price," the mayor earlier said. Meantime, the Mango-Bamboo Festival has become a regular fixture in the regional tourism fairs of the tourism department and Pangasinan's own Pangangidayew (showcasing local products and tourist destinations) since the event's first holding.

I missed Rosales so much. Been there more than 10 yeas ago. I believe it is now one of the most progressive towns of Pangasinan. Rosales has a very special place in my heart.It is the hometown of my best friend. The then police Officer and chief in our town here in Janiuay,Iloilo and now the very dynamic mayor of your beloved town, Mayor Ricardo Velo Revita. I am a professional photographer and i was vey surprised to learn that the national artist for literature F Sionil Jose, is from Rosales. He wrote the introduction of an intenational coffeetable book aptly called Filipina wherein i was one of the featured photographers. Dr. Leslie Bauzon, greetings to you. I enjoyed viewing your slideshow. feel free also to visit my website www.ronnypoblacion.com . I wish I can visit Rosales again one of these days and visit my mayor friend. He has a constant communication here in Janiuay and he even came back and visited his friends here in Janiuay. By the way, to the good people of Rosales. Janiuay wherein your mayor has served as Chief in the early 90's is the hometown of then Sec. of DAR Rene C. Villa and Josette T. Biyo a multi awarded science teacher who has a planet named after her( Planet Biyo ) by the Lincoln Observatories in the U.S.
