The Pangasinan Polytechnic College Center for Lifelong Learning (PPC-CeLL), headed by President Dr. Raymundo Rovillos spearheaded the conduct of three microcredential courses on Pangasinan studies.
The course, which covered Pangasinan history, society, language, culture, heritage, and environment, was held at the PPC Building, Narciso Ramos Sports and Civic Center, on May 27.
The undertaking was aimed at
locating Pangasinan Studies not only as a local study but as domain knowledge
that engages in the regional, national, and global production of learning.
PPC-CeLL likewise hoped that it
would translate into the economic progress and cultural development of the
province and its people.
Prof. Crisanta Nelmida-Flores, PhD,
Philippine Studies, University of the Philippines Diliman, was among the esteemed
resource speakers, discussed the Introduction to Pangasinan Studies, History,
Geography, and Environment.
It includes Defining Pangasinan
Studies, Scope and Limitations of Pangasinan Studies, and Defining Culture,
History, and Heritage; Tracing Our Roots: The Pre-Colonial Pangasinan and Los
Pueblos de Pangasinan, among others.
Other speakers were John Joseph
Isaiah Orpilla (MA History, University of the Philippines Diliman), Jan Marlon
S. De Vera (MA History, University of the Philippines Diliman), and Kevin
Conrad A. Ibasco (MA History: Ethnohistory and Local History, University of the
Philippines - Baguio), who discussed Western Pangasinan and Alaminos Local
History; Geronima Pecson and Anacbanuas (Child of the Land) of Pangasinan;
Pedro Calosa and TayugLocal History, respectively.
The topic for Day 2, which is
slated for June 1, will be Understanding and Speaking the Pangasinan Language,
while Day 3 will be Pangasinan Culture and Heritage and Contemporary Issues.
The PPC’s mission is to produce
world-class talents and leaders in science, technology, culture, and the arts
and to create social impact through transformative and inclusive education.
The institution envisions that ‘By
2031, Pangasinan Polytechnic College will be the nexus for change, creativity,
and community. (Chona C. Bugayong, Jairus Sibayan, PIMRO)
