History of Bayambang Museum: Home of Innovation

by Ray Hope O. Bancolita and Resty S. Odon 

According to old-timers, Bayambang used to have a Municipal Museum during the administration of Mayor Ricardo Camacho, and it was housed at the Vice Mayor's Office and curated by Mrs. Emma Mula, the designated Tourism Officer at the time, with assistance from PSU College Dean, Dr. Clarita Jimenez.  

In the year 2016, there was a change of administration, and the museum collection was reportedly transferred under Mrs. Mula's care in her residence.

Under the leadership of the new mayor, Dr. Cezar T. Quiambao, a new Museum Office was informally created, headed by Mrs. Gloria de Vera-Valenzula, to oversee the collection of new artifacts sourced from Bayambangueños from all walks of life. Her collections were housed temporarily in the Municipal Library, from its old location in the Municipal Hall then to its new location in the repurposed NAWASA water reservoir at the back.

In 2019, after a failed initial attempt involving Barangay Secretaries, a culture mapping project was launched by the Tourism Office under Rafael L. Saygo, with the help of Mrs. De Vera-Valenzuela, who brought into the picture the Bayambang National High School students and teachers led by Christopher Gozum. The mapping project catalogued the cultural resources of the town of Bayambang and serve as the basis for the content and service offerings of a new, more permanent museum facility.

The accumulated outputs from the culture mapping activities were thoroughly validated by respected community members from the cross section of the town. 

The actual construction of the museum building in the middle of the Municipal Plaza began only in 2021, but its completion was delayed by several factors: bidding, project funding, engineering problems, and the Covid-19 pandemic. The old building formerly occupied by the Office of Senior Citizen Affairs used to stand in its place and had to be demolished. 

Meanwhile, a Museum Technical Working Group was created to slowly oversee the establishment of the facility and the process of deliberating on which artifacts to include for public display.

In 2022, the new Municipal Mayor, Mary Clare Judith Phyllis 'Niña' Jose-Quiambao, reconstituted the TWG, and it included the town's most respected retired academics, namely Dr. Clarita Jimenez, Dr. Annie Manalang, Prof. Januario Cuchapin, and Dr. Leticia Ursua, among others. A local architect, Marie Denise Ursua Abella, who's a graduate of Oxford University, was especially hired for this project to supervise the design, with her mother, Lily Luz U. Abella, supervising the project management side.

The museum team immediately set into motion the work of conceptualizing the main theme, major exhibits, and the careful selection of the most relevant artifacts. After finalizing all exhibits based on the chosen theme, the museum was inaugurated on October 11, 2022, and it was opened to LGU employees and select visitors.

On the 15th day of February, 2023, the museum officially opened its doors to the general public in order to serve as a show window of the town, highlighting who we are, where we came from, and what we want to be. The municipal museum building is called "Museum of Bayambang: Home of Innovation." Constructed as a modernized version of the bahay na bato heritage house that was typical during the Spanish colonial times, the museum houses five galleries. On the ground floor can be found the Culture Gallery, History Gallery, Education Gallery, and a cafe. A staircase leads to the Hall of Innovators on the left and the Agriculture Gallery on the right.  

Why innovation? After studying the town’s cultural resources vis-a-vis its history and current status, the team found Bayambang to be a town of many things. Foremost, it is an agricultural town, specifically known as "the Onion Capital of Northern Luzon" and "the Corn Belt of Pangasinan." It is also famous for its delicious fish buro and freshwater fish, that is why the annual town fiesta is dubbed as the ‘Malangsi Fish-tival,’ malangsi meaning freshwater fish. Second, it is also a university town, because we have a big old university located here, established in 1922. Bayambang is also known as the home of the binasuan dance. The town also has a reputation of being a town of faith healers as well as devotees of the patron saint, San Vicente Ferrer. Lastly, it is an historic town, because it once served as the fifth capital of the First Philippine Republic, and also the place where local heroes staged the first revolts against the abuses of the Spanish colonizers in Pangasinan, among other interesting things.

Bayambang is quite a complex town – it is hard to describe it or summarize it in just one word or neat statement. But having considered all of those above-mentioned aspects of our town, it was noticed that one theme in our narrative keeps on repeating, and that is Bayambang is a town of heroes and revolutionaries as well as a town of leaders in their own fields – individuals with a pioneering spirit.

We realized that being freedom-loving revolutionaries, pioneers, spearheads, trailblazers, frontrunners, and innovators runs in our blood, that is why the team decided to put up the museum as a Museum of Innovation.

The Museum, at the time of writing, is headed by Dr. Rafael L. Saygo, and manned by five staff, led by Ray Hope O. Bancolita as the current deputy officer.

Leovigildo 'Leo' Miguel Giron: Eskrima Master

 

LEOVIGILDO 'LEO' MIGUEL GIRON Local escrima grandmaster (traditional martial arts practitioner)

Eskrima or escrima is a general term for “the traditional martial arts of the Philippines, which emphasize the use of sticks, knives, and various improvised weapons.”

Leovigildo 'Leo' Miguel Giron was an escrima master from Bayambang who is recognized as a legend in the US. A native of Brgy. Hermoza, Giron is recognized as a grandmaster by no less than the Hollywood martial arts instructor Dan Inosanto of Stockton, California who was among his proteges. He had already settled in the United States when he came back to the Philippines during World War II as part of US-Filipino defense forces. He was assigned in a “top-secret counterintelligence unit.” As a guerrilla, he further learned native Filipino martial arts from his superior in the military. However, he grew up training at it from an early age until murder and crime incidents in his community pressed him to improve on his skills and acquire more knowledge.

Back in postwar United States, he founded the Bahala Na Martial Arts Association. He would eventually be recognized as the "Father of Larga Mano in America."

Other recorded escrima masters from this town:

Benito Junio, a fellow Bayambangueño from Brgy. Inirangan, was recognized by Giron as among his mentors.

New edibles making inroads in local foodways

New edibles making inroads in local foodways

Our fun search for vanishing traditional food items resulted in unexpected finds: nontraditional edibles that are making inroads in local foodways or at least thriving in some resident's backyard.

We found marang (yes, marang) growing in Brgy. Bacnono, purple atis in Brgy. Sancagulis, and a strange fruit that turned out to be called Bengal currant in Brgy. Buenlag (wrongly called bignay).

In the public market, we found seedless avocado and a fish we are not familiar with.

Some years back, I learned that rambutan is being farmed in Brgy. Warding (and the result is a smaller but sweet version of the fruit) and durian is being sold by a makeshift stall in Brgy. Telbang. Of course, dragonfruit vines, miracle fruit trees, and mulberry trees have been thriving and bearing fruits in various parts of the town for quite some time (and most likely in all other towns of the country), and I spotted a lone grapevine growing in Brgy. Pugo (not sure if it has successfully produced grapes yet).

We are not counting here the ones being regularly sold in local supermarkets and malls, because the list would be quite long. Since I came back here in August 2016, for example, I have seen yacon, kiwi, persimmon, grapefruit, Chinese pomelo, and Korean pear, so I wonder if people are actually buying those en masse and thus creating, uhm, new collective memories and food culture around those. (I wonder how long before we get around to growing and selling walnuts, apricots, peaches, pistachios, macadamia nuts, blueberry, cherry, and oh yes, before I forget, rainbow glass corn for decorative purposes, haha.)

Anyway, from our simple competition (my idea, actually), it appears that many traditional foodstuffs have been supplanted by globalization, which is both a bane and a boon. While global trade exposes locals to a wealth of new food items from all over like never before, it also tends to edge out, if not exterminate like vermin, what has long been out there to accommodate emergent market preferences.

As sources of traditional food vanish from the scene and the old value chain collapses, farmers end up abandoning old crops for new cash crops, to follow the cold logic of the market.

I wonder if there's a win-win solution to this, in that the old and the new can coexist happily together forever and ever. Ok, maybe I am dreaming too much.

Pangasinan Language Abounds with Synonyms

(A Buwan ng Wika special)

 

Pangasinan Language Abounds with Synonyms

 

One day, while discussing with some people how a painting should be framed properly, someone used the word lapok-lapok to describe the result of an ill-framed canvas, saying the canvas ended up somewhat flapping.

 

I was listening intently as everyone asked further questions on the issue to understand the problem at hand more clearly.

 

From the ensuing exchange, I heard someone utter a synonym, a word that I had never heard before: Was the canvas linmundo? Then someone asked whether it was linmaylay and alaylay. And then another said, maybe it was linmuslos and aluslos. And I think I heard at least one more word or two (aluyloy and linmuyloy), and it turned out in the end that these words were all synonymous, most likely each word having a more specific meaning that escapes me for now.

 

This unexpected exchange reminds us once again how the Pangasinan language abounds with synonyms for certain ideas or concepts. That Pangasinan language has incredibly many words for crazy is quite well-known. Further study shows that this tendency is typical of the language instead of an oddity.

 

We have at least three words for smile -- imis (smile in general), ngiriyet and ngiristi (the two being variations of grin from ear to ear) – and at least five words for laughter – elek (laugh), kekek/mankekek (laugh hard without sound), ngarakngak (laugh in a very loud manner), pandak (laugh nonstop), manareketek ("laugh in a subdued but fond manner").

 

We make distinctions between different forms of the act of breathing and smelling. Poet and professor Melchor Orpilla says “breath is linawa. Ingas is to breathe when tired or when the body needs more oxygen. Sungap is to gasp for air or inhale. Singáp is the old Pangasinan term for hika or asthma,” so it must be the root word of the term mansingsingap (hard of breathing due to asthma). Other words are sumikaer (catching one’s breath), eyek (labored breathing with wheezing), manyekew (coughing and wheezing while being thin), and manpapanabos (labored breathing while in the throes of death). Manukok is coughing, while mansigsigam is making the "ahem' or throat-clearing sound. Singlot is used to refer to snorting one's mucus back inside one's nostrils. Angob means smell, singob is a synonym, while siyangob indicates a more forceful kind of smelling; sungap is also used in a similar way.

Synonyms for eat include: akan - eat; atmon or akmon - swallow; bikler - swallow forcefully; gatgat - chew; kutib - gnaw; ngalngal - to chew forcefully; kabkab - to bite continuously in big chunks; kutlab - to make one big bite; ketket - bite in general; and supsop - sip.

We distinguish between (or among) different intensities of crying (akis). Again, Orpilla says maningel – is low but deep groaning, mansibsibek is sobbing, manakis or mannangis is crying, manurangal is crying loudly like a child, manugaog is crying loudly with deeper sound, managugol is crying loud with prolonged deep sound evidencing deep sorrow. There is also mankarangkang, which he says refers to the loud cry of a dog that is hurting or wanting to free itself from its chain. A variation of manurangal, it seems, is manngaralngal, while the haunting sound of dogs howling in the middle of the night is mantagluong.

Old Pangasinan terms for handsome, good-looking man (guwapo) include: mataraki, which not just means handsome, but refers to a man who is dashing, brimming with confidence with the way he stands and carries himself; maong a laki, literally, good man; maong ya inkatalindeg, literally, has good bearing or comportment; maong ya impankayas, literally, well-sculpted (most likely), maong ya bini, literally, good seed; maong ya alagey (magandang tindig), good posture; maong ya puli, good bree; maong ya sekder, good foundation; and matarakin lalong, handsome rooster. 

Beautiful or maganda is magana; malimgas or malinggas; masimpit - more on the dainty, tidy-looking side; anggales (vulgar) - sexy; paeng-paeng; laeb-laeb; and bonek-bonek or ponek-ponek - refers to shapely body. Napankaongan is vulgar: literally means "can raise piglets from her."

Edgardo Quiros of the National Library once noted the local terms for rain that mostly have no equivalent in other languages, and we are adding here more terms to his original list. There are specific terms according to intensity: maya-maya (drizzle), tayaketek (light rain), siyam-siyam (seemingly endless rain), nepnep (rainy season), nepnep na duweg or uran na duweg (literally, ulan ng kalabaw or carabao rain, meaning strong, nonstop rain), uran ya benger (literally, ulan na matigas ang ulo or hard-headed rain, meaning rain that is not that strong but doesn't seem to stop), uran a libog-libog (particularly heavy rain), beye-beye ("nonstop heavy downpour"), binak-binak ("raining cats and dogs"), and alimbusabos (tornado).

 

In her book Lingayën: Memories of Times Past, Arabela Ventenilla Arcinue notes the increasing intensity of shattering in broken glass: aside from the difference between nagtag and naksit, she reports that there are the onomatopoeic terms alalsik, alalsak, and amisimisi. The Pangasinan, she further notes, also makes distinctions between different ant species: gilata, kanit, bayatsaw, ansit, asubok, and talakay. (I personally only heard three.)

 

The variety of words for sounds is also particularly striking, said poet and book author Santiago Villafania, and citing examples would have a kilometric result. Terms for smelly or foul-smelling are also particularly numerous. Synonyms that refer to violent actions also have equally impressive breadth. (We have detailed all three earlier.)

 

A new finding from the field is that vulgar Pangasinan words for malandi (Tagalog) or flirt (English) are a dime a dozen too, with magantil being the most often used: ag makareen, aga makareen, aga mandeen ed abong, anggatel, aterew, biga ya apaliberan, ansasabot, burikak, enteremis, garampingat, gumarampingat, gumaraigi, gumarampam, gumarangandyang, gumayanggan, hostes, innginew ed lukon, itagey to lay ikol to, kayang-kayang, kumarigking, langoy-langoy ed danom, magali, maganon nalukonan, magantil, magaryet, magaslaw, magatel, magayar, mantaladew, maibeg, makakaasawa la, makiwit, manarastang, manariba no anggapoy bulog, manaringgotel, manbolangit, mandyalteng, mangalaw, mangarakngak, mangarampang, mangaryet, mangeget, mangirgir, mankanyang (kanyang means shiny or scintillating, I have found), mankarastang, mankarekket, mankasta, mankulagtot, manlikliket ya maong, manlugabya, manlugobya?, manmamaya, manpanta, mansalampiaw, mansalandet, mansalawsaw, mansalokabkab, mansalti, kumatitiwa, singa kiti-kiti, agnasabaan so liket to (this has a slightly different meaning, though, similar to mandyalteng and gumarangandyang), mansarabalti, mansarampitiw, sumarampitiw?, mansayandet, mansayet, mansugampi, mantalandew, mantalikarkar, mantorset, mantursit, marursit, masagabpa?, matalibawbaw, matetew (tetew refers to clitoris), ongagatel, paakar a bao, paarap, pakakak, pakangkang, pampam, patakkok, sagsarit, sarsarit, singa ason mangkasta, singa orang ya kapan-akir ed dayat, manlukso, singa pusa ya kinantaw, sumagigi, sumagilgil, sumaltiit, sumarampiting, mansarampiting, sumayet, talampiaw/talampyaw, mantalampiyaw, talandew, talandi, talandit, talawetew, tarewtew, tewatew, tolderesit?, tumalandit, matalandit, mantalandit, mantulandit, tumarit-tit...

 

The unusual variation obviously points to the fact we Pangasinenses scoff so much at a person (usually a woman) we consider to be an ill-mannered flirt, coquettish, or generally indecorous because we value propriety so badly, especially sexual propriety, no doubt due to our Catholic/Christian upbringing.

Dirty and disorganized have colorful terms related to them: marutak, maringot/maringdingot, amoringot, amoringis, atibatib, kandingot, mannelnab, mandetdelpet, manpikat/manpikkat, dugyot, beryutak, atingapol, amoyanggo (disheveled - used to describe the hair of someone who just got out of bed), amosaga, asaganet, amurakday, atili-tili (hair that got entangled in a messy way), makagi-kagit, mantataligabuan, asiwaklat, akitungilang, manuusilan, magulo-gulo, makalat, mantatabugis, atakatak (scattered in a disorganized way).

 

Even though some native speakers themselves swear Pangasinan sounds awful, on the level of linguistics, I personally find it beautiful in terms of its variety, nuance, and precision, to say nothing yet about its poetic, colorful, and oftentimes hilarious idioms.

In Pangasinan, Wala Means Meron, Among Other Natural Disasters

In Pangasinan, Wala Means Meron, Among Other Natural Disasters

Tagalogs are often scandalized when they hear Pangasinenses talk in their language, thinking some of their words to be vulgar even when they are not. Little do they know that Pangasinenses themselves laugh behind their back when they hear certain innocuous Tagalog words, as they are reminded of something else.

 

Confusing? The following translations will explain why. (Warning: Vulgar words ahead.)

For starters, bulong (whisper in Tagalog) means dahon in Pangasinan.

 

Magana (has a good appetite) means maganda (pretty or beautiful).

 

Maong (jeans) means three things: jeans, good, and kind.

Tumpok (clump or bunch) means kamay, or to eat with one's bare hands, as in "mantumpok tayo" ("magkamayan tayo sa pagkain").

Masalimuot (controversial in Tagalog) means maalinsangan or humid in Pangasinan.

Salapi (pera or money in general) means fifty centavos in Pangasinan. (The crucial difference, however, is that -pi in Tagalog ends in a glottal stop, while -pi in Pangasinan is often pronounced as /pi/ or /pe/.

Maya-maya (a kind of fish; stress on the first syllable) means drizzle in Pangasinan (stress on the second syllable).

 

Tukâ (bill or beak) means either suka (tuká) or sumpong (tùka).

 

Laki (size or growth) means male or grandfather (láki).

 

Wala (there is none) ironically means "there is" (meron), although the Pangasinan word actually has an unaccented -la. Walâ in Tagalog is anggapo in Pangasinan. These confusing meanings, of course, often cause hilarious exchanges like this at home, when speakers alternately speak in Tagalog and Pangasinan:

Person 1: Wala! 

Person 2: Walá o walâ? Walá o anggapo? 

Person 1: Meron! 

Sira (broken or crazy in Tagalog) means isda or fish and ulam or viand, anything eaten with rice.

 

Manok (chicken) means bird in general.

 

(An aside: Compare this with ibon, which is bird in Tagalog, to ebun, which means egg in Kapampangan, thus giving birth to this popular joke as people traverse the highway from Manila to Pampanga:

Question: Ano ang pinakamahabang tulay sa Pilipinas? Answer: Yung tulay sa NLEX. Question: Bakit? Answer: Kasi yung itlog sa Maynila, pagdating sa Pampanga, ebun na.

It's even worse in Cebu, as ibon, bird, becomes langgam, ant.)

 

If you hear Pangasinenses utter words that are seemingly indecent like antutan and kulantutan, just relax and bear in mind that they mean no offense. They only mean "Ano yan?" for "Anto tan?" and "Nasan yan?" for "Kulan to 'tan?" respectively.

 

Utot (fart) means mouse or rat. 

Bayag (scrotum) means tagal. 

Utong (nipple/areola) means shoot/s.

 

Titi (penis) means to render the fat.

 

Bao (shell, as in bao ng niyog) means vagina, although to be more accurate about it, the stress in the Tagalog word is placed on the first syllable, while that in Pangasinan is on the second syllable.

 

Kiki (vagina) means kiliti or to tickle.

 

Melchor Orpilla adds the following:

 

Tapát in Tagalog is loyal but tapát in Pangasinan is to disown/deny. However, tápat in old Pangasinan means on the opposite side.

 

Marikit in Tagalog means maganda, but marikit in Pangasinan is dalaga.

 

Sapók in Tagalog means strike with the hand (not the fist), while sapók in Pangasinan means dust.

 

Sampiga in Tagalog is hampas, but sampiga in Pangasinan means magkano.

 

Imis in old Tagalog means linis or ligpit, while imis in Pangasinan means smile.

 

Urong in Tagalog means to move back or to do the dishes, but urong in Pangasinan means to go to town.

 

Joey Ferrer adds:

 

Sabong (accent on the first syllable) means cockfight in Tagalog, but sabong (accent on second syllable) means (a) still young or not yet ripe and (b) sahog or the main protein ingredient mixed with vegetables.

 

An earlier post on Facebook has the following additional entries:

 

Pekpek (vulgar term for vagina) means pukpok, to beat or to hit someone or something with something hard. The Pangasinan version, however, uses the schwa sound for the e's.

 

Ari (a formal Tagalog term for genitals or privates) means hari or king.

 

Bulbol (pubic hair) means to stew or cook like lugaw or porridge. Lugaw in Pangasinan is binulbol.

 

Selsel (which sounds like the word for masturbate) means sindi or light up. Salsal reportedly has other literal and idiomatic meanings in Pangasinan (e.g., "to gauge the depth of something using the foot" from the Cosgaya dictionary), and I am so glad it is no longer being used in those contexts.

While these differences in meaning have hilarious consequences, no one is sure how the sudden switch between languages belonging to the same family have occurred through time. In any case, this ensures a good supply of jokes among Pangasinenses and outsiders, something to break the ice when things get tense or to start a conversation on a light, albeit embarrassing note.
