ANGGAPO'Y AROM

Tune: No Other Servant, Composed by Alex Z. Muyano

Lyrics, translated into Pangasinan by Marcelo L. Vistro

  

Anggapo’y arom no ag say pinablin Juan,

Sinmaral ed pagew na Katawan,

Diad pandem ya kaiba iray disipulo,

Pinmatnag, simpit tan aro nen Kristo.

Anggapo’y arom no ag say pinablin Juan,

Anggapo’y arom ya nansiansiad Katawan,

Saray arom so tinmaynan lad takot,

Pinablin Juan ag inmarawin balot.

Refrain:

O pinablin Juan ag mi ka nalingwanan,

Sikan ag inmarawid Katawan,

Impalimad sikay Inan Virgen Maria,

Say Iglesian dinondon Ton insalva.

Anggapo’y arom no ag say pinablin Juan,

Angipaamtay maung a walnay Katawan,

San Juan napnoy Espiritu Santo,

Masanton Evangelioy insulat to.

 Refrain 2x

Corn Bags and Slippers from Basista

Looking for a Christmas gift which is not expensive and at the same time eco-friendly?           Try bags and slippers made out of corn husks.   


Indigent families from Basista, Pangasinan have transformed corn husks (which used to be thrown away after harvesting the corn) into bags and slippers. The corn husks are gathered from corn fields and then handcrafted into twine, then braided. This is then turned into apparel. Not only is the income of folks in and around the fifth class municipality augmented by the proceeds from the sale of the products, this project also contributes to the protection of the environment by eliminating the need to burn the discarded husks. The corn husk bags and slippers sell for P150-P540 at the ECHOStore.

Three Giants Join Forces to Launch the New University of Pangasinan-Phinma

University of Pangasinan-PHINMA Our Heritage. Our Future.


Last November 15, 2009, the Pangasinense community came together for a Thanksgiving Mass and the Inauguration of the new University of Pangasinan – PHINMA at the UPang Student Plaza.

Newly-appointed Archbishop Socrates B. Villegas, D.D. of Lingayen-Dagupan presided over the holy mass, in order to give thanks for the safety and well-being of Pangasinan, and for the generosity of UPang employees who volunteered their service during the onslaught of super typhoon Pepeng. This is one of the Archbishop’s first masses since his appointment in September.

The Inauguration marked the official launch of the University of Pangasinan-PHINMA to the public. Members of the Board of Trustees and of the Administration Council presented the new look of UPang, as well as future plans to improve the school. Guests included representatives from the business, education, medical, and government sectors, as well as members of the UPang community.

As the first and oldest university joins forces with PHINMA and Victory Liner, new and modern facilities, stronger course offerings, and an increasingly competent and caring faculty come together to create a bigger, better University of Pangasinan-PHINMA for the community.

UPang-PHINMA. Our Heritage. Our Future.
