Site for Pangasinan’s luminaries proposed
LINGAYEN — Pangasinan’s great leaders must have a place of honor befitting them.
This was proposed by Vice Gov. Jose Ferdinand Calimlim, Jr. in a resolution “requesting the Pangasinan Historical and Cultural Commission (PHCC) to recommend a possible relocation site within the Capitol compound for the busts, statutes and monuments of Pangasinan’s great leaders”.
“The province is endowed with exceptional and prominent great leaders in the past so it is just fitting to honor and respect them by giving them a designated area where they can be reminisced by the people from all walks of life,” Resolution No. 218-2013 read last week.
He said that the site will serve as another landmark destination for foreign and local visitors who visit the Pangasinan Capitol Complex.
“Let us have one common yet special place for them,” said Calimlim citing the existing monuments of two past Pangasinan governors, Daniel Maramba and Aguedo F. Agbayani.
Such a place may require the PHCC, headed by Atty. Gonzalo Duque, to research and collect memorabilia about the past leaders’ legacy.
Board Member Nestor Reyes said he will propose the Governor’s Park as site for statues of great governors of Pangasinan. (PIO)
