can partner with writers and cultural workers from the area to come up with books of local history, short stories, poetry, and essays on topics and themesCongratulations to the National Commission for Culture and the Arts National Committee on Literary Arts on its successful conduct of a literary conference in Lingayen, Pangasinan.
Among the activities were tributes to Pangasinan literary stalwarts National Artist F. Sionil Jose, Carlos Bulosan, and Maria Magsano, as well as a launch of four literary publications by the NCLA. I was also glad to have the chance to present my paper on Philippine horseracing as a construct of collective memory .
The food was excellent, and the hosts took the opportunity to showcase the best of Pangasinan cuisine, particularly their bangus, tamales, and other dishes. I hope that we can come to an arrangement on this program not only with Lingayen but with other LGUs across the country. Governors and mayors, please feel free to email me if you would like to support this idea in your province/city/town.The Asian Institute of Management has partnered with the University of Houston to establish an undergraduate dual degree program.
