Pangasinan language lacks a large body of literature

Professional writers in this province urged blooming literary writers in a workshop Saturday to use the local language as their medium.

Poet Santiago Villafania said the Pangasinan language lacks a large body of literature compared to other local languages.

Critics in writers' workshop in Manila and the Cordilleras are always asking why there are very few pieces of literature written in the language, he added.

Author and lawyer Ferdinand Quinto noted that Pangasinan literature is already in long hiatus.

Villafania and Quinto, along with Editor-in-Chief Sergio Bumadilla, served as the panelists during the first Pangasinan Writers’ Workshop held at the Capitol Resort Hotel here.

Attending the workshop were at least 20 individuals who participated in the First Pangasinan Literary Contest Kurit Panlunggaring last April.

Non-winning entries in the literary contest were critiqued in the workshop, where the local language was used exclusively.

After the forum, the attendees organized a group, which they voted to name Kapi-Tuway. It is derived from kapitolyo and tuyaw, which means capitol and meeting, respectively.

Ma. Luisa Elduayan, head of the provincial tourism offie, organizer of the event, promised to name after the group a shed along the Lingayen Gulf adjacent to the Capitol.

Pangasinan;s ASNA Award Winner for Literature Santiago Villafania is a poet in the Pangasinan language. Pinabli (Beloved) is his latest collection of poems. Bumadilla, meanwhile, is the editor-in-chief of Balon Silew, a quarterly magazine in the local language.

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
