Health By +Oscar V. Cruz, JCD THE condition of physical well-being, freedom from any corporal sickness, the feeling of bodily wellness – this is health in simple terms, in its common understanding. Health is soundness of biological features and consequent wholeness of physical functions. Health is the premise of personally…
“We are the World” By Johanne Margarette R. Macob I STILL have some sort of hangover from the Miss Earth International 2012 short stint in the province. Well for one, because it’s the first time that I did interact with people from across the globe and second, maybe because I…
Give peace a chance By Jun Velasco “Make the best use of your time,” Ephesians 5:16 WE have good news for journalists who want to “see the world.” Manila Bulletin’s Liezle Basa Inigo yesterday told us how she led four Pangasinan media people – Susan Yadao, Jimry Biosa, Frame Sabado and herself…
Responsible press By Gonzalo Duque IT may not be proper to start our column with a dig on a stinking garbage along Amado Street directly behind Lyceum Northwestern University, but it’s so irritating and reflective of the city’s lousy approach to the garbage problem.

The Miss Earth Experience By Johanne R. Macob NO, I am not a Miss Earth candidate, never been – and I guess never will be. November 17-19, 2012 seemed to be one of the longest if not the longest three days of my life. And that was courtesy of my…
Enthralling cultural shows By Jun Velasco “We should study our past to move us forward,,” Gov. Amado T.

Bring it on! By Gonzalo Duque SORRY, dear readers, if we devote this precious column for a subject that may not be to your liking. Pasencia kayo lay daiset agagui. The reason is that recent events in our media camaraderie club–the Pangasinan Press Club—is facing a litmus “domestic” test. But…
