Pangasinan pays homage to a local dance literature wiz
THE provincial government cited a Pangasinense whose dance literature research was recently included as one of the country’s new folk dances.
Jeffrey Paulo Bachar, a native of Brgy. Bunlalacao, Mangatarem, Pangasinan, introduced his research entitled, ‘Panangabalayan,’ in the 41st National Folk Dance Workshop held in Bago City, Negros Occidental last July 26.
Bachar’s ‘Panangabalayan’ is among the 11 new dances from various regions in the Philippines which is now featured in the book and set of instructional videos published by the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP), entitled: “Indak Tayo: Dances of the Philippine Islands.”
For Bachar’s invaluable contribution to arts and culture, the Sangguniang Panlalawigan (SP) approved a resolution, authored by SP Member Philip Cruz. It read: “Bachar’s success is a source of inspiration among his fellow Pangasinenses to develop a keen interest in this field of dance literature and drive them to find their passion and to put a lot of effort to seize opportunities that will develop and hone their talents.”
Bachar is the son of Florito and Nenita Bachar, a graduate of BS Secondary Education (MAPE) of the Pangasinan State University (PSU)-Bayambang campus, and presently a MAPE teacher at the Mangatarem National High School. ( Pangasinan PIO/RRB)
