Isidro Ramos 30 Nov 2007 A facsimile of Mr. Robert Kiyosaki’s “Why the Rich Get Richer” was posted in response to Archbishop Cruz’s current editorial column “The View” searching for an earthly elucidation with regard to the paradox or absurdity of the Philippine peso. Voila`, Mr. Kiyosaki’s…
Eduardo Pontaoe 30 Nov 2007 Mr. Nic R: With all due respect, sir, it’s Pangasinense. We shoved dirt on that word Pangalatok long time ago. If you’re an Ilocano, I wouldn’t even dare to call you Ilocogtot or Pinakbet. It will be disrespectful on my part to address…
“Pangasinense”, not “Pangalatok”
Eduardo Pontaoe 29 Nov 2007 Nice of you, Doc, to make this clarification on what is the real Pangasinan thing. Let’s start the re-education of Al Mendoza on his 0-0 eyesight on what he thought as trivial these tools of Pangasinan rice threshing methods. TALTAGAN. . . a…

Guv’s publicized visit
Nic R 29 Nov 2007 Hello! Could it be that dialect comes into play in your struggle for the right term? Iloko’s term for the subject is “alsung”. In Pangalatok it is “lasong”.
A case of dialect nuance?
Primo Tamayo 29 Nov 2007 To Mr. Al. Mendoza, The “ALSUNG” article reminds me of a similar contraption that was prevalent in years past in my town of St. Barbara. We call them “TALTAGAN”. The contraption carved out of stone that was used for pounding rice we call…
Could it be “Lasung”?
Edmund S. Pedro 29 Nov 2007 Just minor corrections on your news report. The town which Digitel does not serve is San Jacinto not Urbiztondo. Digitel also accepts reports of cable theft thru 5159801, 5160428 or 0922-5288153. The number 1130 is our hotline on service complaints. Thank you.
San Jacinto, not Urbiztondo

Cruising or “James Bond” mode?
Heidi 28 Nov 2007 A Ferry service idea is a great one. But it takes a lot of planning before making it happen. One thing is for sure though, it will generate a lot of money and it will help a lot of people. But, that’s not what most Pangasinenses…
