The University of Pangasinan (UPang) has expressed full commitment and support to press freedom even as the issue has recently gained renewed attention following events at the national level.

UPANG chairman Cesar Duque said the university “practices responsible press freedom”, adding that “the university also fully supports academic freedom being the bulwark of man’s pursuit of truth and his intellectual development.”

He said the university’s student publication is allowed the widest latitude for honest, truthful and responsible reporting, stressing the publication allows healthy debate even as it is also a training ground for future journalists.

As this developed, Pangasinan Pulse, a local survey group, cited the university’s recent national awards that singled out Dr. Edwin Cancino as outstanding NSTP coordinator for Community Project and the STET-VIP NSTP Kabalikat Award for Community Project Golden Flame given to the university for ‘Project CESAR’ cited for “propelling people and communities’ transformation”. #
