Re: A Kabaleyan’s Thoughts…Mas marakep anganko no inkorit iya ed Pangasinan, anto?
F. Sionil Jose is aware of the demise of other Philippine languages. His prediction will certainly come true if, we, Pangasinenses will not act now.
Speaking of the magazine Silew, the Ulupan na Pansiansia’y Salitan Pangasinan revived it as Balon Silew a few years ago. This is probably the only venue for would-be writers and authors writing in Pangasinan language today. Yes, we still have few writers who picked up the cudgels for Pangasinan literature.
