Pangasinan's Memorabilia and History

Pangasinan's Memorabilia and History History of the Province of Pangasinan and it's people. Pangasinan was among the earliest political and administrative units in the Philippines.

It was officially conquered and colonized by D. Martin de Goiti in 1571. On April 5, 1572,

Pangasinan was made an encomienda by the Spanish royal crown to receive instruction on the Catholic Faith, which means that

Pangasinan was organized under one leadership and has identity before the Spanish royal court. Eight years later, in 1580,

Pangasinan was organized into a political unit under an

alkalde mayor who at that time has authority as head of the province or provincial government with judicial function indicating that

Pangasinan has become a province. To commemorate the day when Pangasinan became an encomienda and the year it became a province, Pangasinan celebrates April 5, 1580 as the official founding day of the Province of

Pangasinan. At that time, its territorial jurisdiction included the Province of Zambales and parts of La Union and Tarlac. By the middle of the 19th century however, the northern towns of Agoo to Bacnotan were separated from the province and became parts of La Union. The provincial territory was further diminished in 1875 with the annexation of Paniqui and other towns south of it to Tarlac. Pangasinan, derived its name from the word “panag asinan”, which means “where salt is made”, owing to the rich and fine salt beds which were the prior source of livelihood of the province’s coastal towns.

Throwback to two special moments in our family history.
📍 First photo: Taken in 1950 at the old Santuario de San Juan Evangelista in Dagupan City. My Lola Peling and Lolo Pepe were ninang and ninong at the event.
📍 Second photo: Taken in the 1970s at Sts. Peter and Paul Parish in Calasiao, Pangasinan — the baptism of my Lola’s child.

Grateful for these precious memories and the legacy of love and faith they left behind. ❤️🙏📸
