THREE summer spectacles are lined up in the province this summer, starting off with the celebration of Agew na Pangasinan (Pangasinan Day) and Pista’y Dayat in April then Palarong Pamgansa in May.

The annual Pista’y Dayat (Sea Festival) beginning in April and culminating in the first week of May will follow and then the hosting of the Palarong Pambansa.

Vice Governor Jose Ferdinand Calimlim said the provincial government is mapping out contingency measures to ensure the safety and well being of all participants and spectators to the events.

The Agew na Pangasinan, celebrated every 5th day of April, fell on Holy Week, thus activities for the event like the Pangasinan Literary Award and the Asna Awards will be held on April 11.

Pista’y Dayat, the biggest annual sea festival in the province, is observed on May 1 but activities leading to the event will start by the third week of April.

The activities include trade fairs, drum and lyre competition, sports events, photography, a beauty pageant, and a clean up drive along the Lingayen Gulf after a Thanksgiving Mass to thank to God for the bounties of the sea. (PIA-Pangasinan/ Venus Sarmiento)
