Marifi, actually Pangasinan poetry was already included in Gawad Komisyon 2006. Dr. Marot Nelmida-Flores of UP asked Dr. Nolasco to include the Pangasinan language in their call for submissions. The winners of that contest were included in the anthology "Ani ng Wika 2006" published by KWF.
Hopefully, we will have more entries this year. Spoken Pangasinan is alive, yes. It's our literature that is dying. I doubt if that professor in UP Baguio College of Arts and Communication can list at least 5 titles in Pangasinan language published in the past 30 or 40 years.
