Pista’y Dayat features Pangasinan’s finest products and tourism sites
LINGAYEN–Pangasinan’s finest products and tourism sites take center-stage as the provincial government, thru the Tourism Division Office, conducts a weeklong Tourism and Trade Expo as one of the highlights of the 2011 Pistay Dayat festival from April 25 to May 2 at the Provincial Development and Training Center located at the Capitol compound here.
Ma. Luisa A. Elduayan, Provincial Tourism Chief, said that aside from the One-Town-One-Product (OTOP) enterprise of each town and city in Pangasinan, the weeklong activity will showcase the province’s tourism promotions program in an exhibit of wide-ranging prime tourist destinations, recreational facilities and services.
Elduayan said that it has been a tradition of the provincial government to bring the best products and best places of the province in one venue such as the Pista’y Dayat, which is dubbed as the “mother of all festivals in Pangasinan,” to familiarize Pangasinenses and visitors of what to buy and where to go while in Pangasinan.
Local products like native delicacies, fresh farm fruits and vegetables, seafoods, intricately-woven furniture, plants and ornaments, will be featured during the weeklong expo.
ART EXHIBIT
“We are inviting the public to come, see and experience Pangasinan’s best which will formally open on April 25 at 8:30 in the morning and will be held until May 2,” Elduayan said as she added that an art exhibit dubbed Panagarte La will serve as the culminating activity of the tourism and trade expo.
The art exhibit will be mixed with the Provincial Information Office (PIO)- sponsored photo exhibit “Inpantekep na Apalabas tan Kaplesan” which was launched as one of the activities during the Agew na Pangasinan celebration last April 5 and is still open to the public until May 2 at the newly-opened Provincial Training and Development Center.
The photo exhibit provides a rare opportunity of traveling around the province in one venue where more than 200 photographs depicting the past and present provincial development are displayed courtesy of some 20 accomplished and prominent photographers from Pangasinan led by Raymund Sto. Domingo, Master Photographer of the Camera Club of the Philippines. (PIO/Ruby R. Bernardino)
