LINGAYEN, Pangasinan---Governor Amado I. Espino III expressed his appreciation to the Department of Education and the visiting delegates for choosing the province of Pangasinan as this year’s host of the National Schools Press Conference (NSPC).
Governor Espino addressed over 5,000 delegates of the NSPC during the opening ceremonies held at the Narciso Ramos Sports and Civic Center (NRSCC) grandstand on January 28.
“Thank you Madam Secretary (Briones), to our directors who were here for choosing our province as the venue of the 2019 NSPC,” Governor Espino said.
“Being the governor of the province, I speak in behalf of all Pangasinenses. I hope that when you leave our place you will take a piece of Pangasinan with you. Enjoy our province and don’t forget the good memories that you will experience,” Governor Espino said.
Meanwhile, Education Secretary Leonor Magtolis Briones lauded Governor Espino for a job well done in hosting the 2019 NSPC.
“Ang ganda-ganda ng level of preparation. Sanay na sanay ang Pangasinan sa national events. Napakaraming national events ang ginagawa dito kaya para sa kanila, ano lang ito ‘just one of those things,” Secretary Briones said.
Secretary Briones also told the NSPC delegates to remember what they have learned about Pangasinan, as she highlighted the province’s integral role in the history of the Philippines.
“Pangasinan has always been a very important part of our history. Sana hindi makalimutan ng ating mga learners kung gaano kahalaga ang Pangasinan sa ating kasaysayan, sa ating kultura, at sa ating pagiging Pilipino,” she added.
Moreover, the Education Secretary gave distinction to Pangasinan for having produced intellectuals, politicians, leaders, and other national personalities.
The 2019 NSPC is anchored on the theme “Fostering 21st Century skills and Character-based Education through Campus Journalism.” (Tiffanny B. Ferrer and Joanna Marie S. Altesing)
