"ERMIN GARCIA (Sr.) was a symbol of what every newspaperman should aspire to be. Ermin could have come to Manila, as many journalist and writers of promise do, and made his mark in the metropolitan press. But he felt that his vocation lay a home, and it was to make happier and better the community in which he lived. And so he started the Sunday Punch, a weekly newspaper that never failed to live up to its name." — MAX SOLIVEN, The Sunday Times, May 22, 1966.

Something that will define his contribution to this great province of Pangasinan.
