Away with Pinoy and Pangalatok

To Ed Pontaoe,
I am not done with PANGALATOK issue. The crusade goes on. I was in Cebu last month, I heard this derogatory word-PANGALATOK-again. People from Pangasinan are called Pangasinense – not Pangalatok, not Pangalatot, not Pangaltit. Their dialect is Pangasinan.
Pinoy word must be eradicated too!!! We are Filipinos-not PINOY. Here in Los Angeles another word for Filipino has been coined. The word is FLIP. It is catching fire among teenagers.
Which is correct–kababayan or kabayan? I am confused.
I still entertain in my mind that the new highway in Dagupan City be named Ermin Garcia Sr. Memorial Highway. How could that Jose de Venecia Sr. Highway get its way? Why can’t Ermin Garcia Sr. gets its way. Darn, it is long overdue. We Pangasinense should fight for Ermin Garcia Sr. We must.
Dagupenos, we need a feedback from you!!!!
