On October 19, 2021, Pangasinan Provincial Governor Amado I. Espino III, alongside Provincial Tourism Officer Maria Luisa Amor-Elduayan, awarded 19 local Tourism Officers with laptop computers at the Capitol Resort in Lingayen, Pangasinan.

Starting 8:30 AM, the program began with a brief introduction by Provincial Tourism Officer Malu Elduayan followed by a short speech by Gov. Espino III, encouraging the attendees to be patient as he assured everyone that the Provincial Government will continuously strive for a comprehensive solution to the problems brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. The provision of laptop computers itself is part of the Pangasinan tourism recovery program as an assistance of the Provincial Government to LGUs for their partnership with the Provincial Tourism and Cultural Affairs Office in managing the Pangasinan Tara Na Online Visitors’ Registration System (OVRS).

Provincial Tourism Officer Malu Elduayan likewise took time to explain the future programs concerning the province’s tourism officers. Pangasinan Tourism Officers Association President Cromwell M. Hernandez also addressed the issues and concerns raised by his fellow tourism officers regarding routine meetings and workshops, as well as future projects by the association.

Lingayen Cultural Mapping Project

The Provincial Government of Pangasinan, through the Center for Pangasinan Studies (CPS), and the Municipal Government of Lingayen, in collaboration with the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA), embarked on a vital endeavor which is the Cultural Mapping Project (CMP) in the municipality of Lingayen.
As an indispensable and equally important component of the project, a 5-day Local Mappers’ Training was held last October 11 and 13-16, 2021, at the Casa Real, Lingayen, Pangasinan. Led by facilitators from the NCCA, the local mappers were trained on the proper identification and documentation of significant cultural properties in the municipality. The project, once completed, will not only enrich the culture and heritage awareness and appreciation of the people of Lingayen, but will also help the LGU in developing policies and programs anchored on tourism, cultural, and economic development.
