Let’s do it ourselves!

Ed, Jeremias, etc.
This is Van. I am ready to send my 100 dollars to raise fund for naming the Dawel -Pantal Highway as Ermin Garcia Memorial Highway.
Ed, do not abbreviate Ermin Garcia Memorial Highway when posting here. It maybe cute but posters and forum readers will never know what “EGMH” is.
Sunday Punch, better to post the full word Ermin Garcia Memorial Highway rather than EGMH and also better not to abbreviate Ermin Garcia as EG.
Forum posters, don’t this abbreviation. We can facilitate conveyance if ideas if we avoid abbreviations.
I am so proud of the recent columnist’s articles and news report of Sunday Punch because there are quoted statements in our Pangasinan language.
I read a news report Times Journal-a Los Angeles area Filipino Tabloid-that mentioned the word “Pangalatok” in his news report in reference to people of Pangasinan. This is a sign of ignorance of that news reporter.
PEOPLE FROM PANGASINAN ARE CALLED PANGASINENSE—–NOT PANGALATOK. PANGALATOK IS derogatory word and insulting to Pangasinense. PANAGALATOK means Pangasinense ‘sira toktok’.
I will call that Times Journal tabloid here in Los Angeles soon to correct them. I don’t think the Sunday Punch staff members would like to get involve in this Ermin Garcia Memorial Highway Movement.
Ed & Jeremias and other forum posters, let us organize ourselves and start the ball rolling.
