Zero Waste Month

Bayambang, Dapat Alam Mo!

Bayambang, dapat alam mo na ang buwan ng Enero ay Zero Waste Month!

Ayon sa Presidential Proclamation No. 760, ang Zero Waste Month ay idinedeklara tuwing buwan ng Enero sa Pilipinas sa bisa ng Presidential Proclamation No. 760 na nilagdaan ni Pangulong Benigno Aquino III noong Mayo 5, 2014. Layunin ng proklamasyong ito na isulong ang kamalayan at pagkilos tungo sa mga prinsipyo ng zero waste, sa pamamagitan ng tinaguriang 7 Rs of Solid Waste Management:

1. REDUCE (BAWASAN)

Bawasan ang paggamit ng hindi kailangang balot o packaging. Sa halip ay pumili ng mga alternatibo. 

2. REUSE (GAMITING MULI) 

Tumanggi sa mga hindi kailangang gamit. Gumamit ng mga refillable na bote, mga telang bag sa halip na plastic, matitibay na straw, at iwasan ang mga gamit na isang beses lang ginagamit (single-use items).

3. RECYCLE (MAG-RESIKLO) 

Paghiwa-hiwalayin nang tama ang basura at i-recycle ang mga maaaring i-recycle.

4. RETHINK (MAG-ISIP MUNA) 

Piliin ang mga makakalikasang gawain sa araw-araw!

5. ROT (BULUKIN)

Ibalik sa lupa ang mga nabubulok na bagay.

6. REFUSE (TUMANGGI) 

Tumanggi sa mga basurang hindi mo naman kailangan.

7. REPURPOSE (MULING GAMITIN SA IBA) 

Bigyan ng bagong gamit ang mga bagay sa halip na itapon lang.

Ang lahat ng ito, Bayambang, ay dapat alam mo!

Irungan: The Chair in Pangasinan Household Tradition



Irungan: The Chair in Pangasinan Household Tradition

(House Furniture/Works of Industrial or Commercial Arts) 

Long before the advent of monoblocs, collapsibles, and ergonomic swivel chairs with a shelf life of a few years, there were narra chairs so durable that lasted for generations.

In this photo is an example of a traditional irungan ed sala, which refers to an ambassador-type of chair, a chair with a slightly leaning backrest and two armrests. 

This particular narra chair is an example of domestic material culture that reflects both craftsmanship and social life in Pangasinan households.

Acquired in 1943, the chair set is estimated to be around 75 years old. It is made of narra wood and distinguished by its floral carvings, a design element often associated with durability, status, and aesthetic refinement during the mid-20th century. The chair’s dimensions include a 17-inch support length, a 16-inch seat, a 21-inch backrest, and a 19-inch apron. Despite its age, the piece remains functional, although the support has undergone repairs.

All the parts are held together by iron nails, but older types of chairs are made non-corrodible with the use of wooden pegs as joinery technique together with basic mortise and tenon fittings.

The chair set is currently owned by Mr. Alex H. Igne of Barangay Tambac, Bayambang, Pangasinan. According to Mrs. Rhoda M. Igne, also of Barangay Tambac, the original owner was the mother of Virginia R. Igne. Oral history recalls that the chair was customarily used by the elder matriarch when entertaining visitors, underscoring its role not merely as furniture but as a symbol of hospitality and familial respect within the home.

In Pangasinan culture, seating furniture carries specific names that reflect form and function. 

Irungan or yurungan (from the verb "irong," meaning "to sit") is a general term for chair, but it typically refers to any four-legged chair with a backrest typically made of wood or iron.

Another term is bangko, a simple backless chair. A long wide bangko may also serve as a mini-papag, an improvised bed to recline on during the day.

Bangkito is a smaller version often used for low-seated tasks such as washing clothes.

Taborete means stool.

Palangka is a low bamboo chair with crossed legs. 

Palangkito is its smaller counterpart. 

For comfort and rest, especially among the elderly, a butaka or tumba-tumba is used, which refers to a reclining, oftentimes rocking lounge chair made of wood or rattan. 

In contemporary usage, the term sala set has evolved to describe a coordinated set of chairs or sofas — made of wood, upholstery, rattan, or bamboo — arranged in the living room where the family watches TV or entertain important visitors. 

As an artifact, the irungan stands as a tangible reminder of Pangasinan domestic life, craftsmanship, and the value of shared family spaces.

(Documented through cultural mapping on September 23, 2018, this heritage object was profiled with Mrs. Rhoda M. Igne (50 years old) as key informant. The profiling was conducted by Rymel Lee G. Igne, then 17 years old, a Senior High School student of Bayambang National High School (STEM–Exodus), under the guidance of Mr. Christopher Q. Gozum.)

TIMELINE: WWII-Era Bayambang

TIMELINE: WWII-Era Bayambang

(This is being posted in commemoration of the Lingayen Gulf Landing.)

As we commemorate the Lingayen Gulf Landing, we look back on Bayambang’s own wartime story directly connected to this event, when Gen. Douglas MacArthur fulfilled his promise to return to the Philippines to capture it from the Japanese invaders—a story of courage, sacrifice, and quiet heroism. The Second World War did not spare this town, as its people were thrust into a period of fear and uncertainty, forced to abandon their homes, endure bombings, and witness the destruction of familiar landmarks. Yet even in the darkest moments, the spirit of the Bayambangueños did not waver.

Bayambang became both a refuge and a battleground, a place where ordinary citizens rose as guerrillas and allies in the larger struggle for freedom. Many answered the call to resist, risking—and in many cases giving—their lives in the fight against the Japanese Imperial Army. Their bravery, whether in open defiance or in silent endurance, formed part of the backbone of the resistance movement in Central Luzon.

This timeline is offered in honor of those brave guerrillas, soldiers, and civilians of Bayambang, especially those who made the supreme sacrifice so that future generations might live in freedom. Even though they are no longer physically with us, may their memory remain a source of pride, gratitude, and inspiration for all Bayambangueños.

1940

Leopoldo Aquino won the election as municipal mayor and served up to the outbreak of the war in 1942.

1941

"The 1940s was marred by the events of the Second World War."

When Japanese troops invaded Bayambang, residents fled to the barrios by walking at midnight.

"Japanese atrocities left bitter memories among the Bayambangueños. Big buildings like the church, the schools and the big houses were the target of bombings as these were suspected to be the headquarters of the enemy. Many Bayambangueños joined the guerrilla forces who fought against the Japanese Imperial Army. Some of them were tortured, killed, and forced to join the infamous Bataan Death March.”

?1941

During the Japanese regime, Bayambang was made the capital of Pangasinan when Dr. Diaz was appointed Governor by the Japanese Imperial Government. Dr. Diaz held his Provincial Administration Office at the residence of Eulogio Dauz at the junction of Quezon Blvd. and M.H. Del Pilar St.

1943

During World War II, noted American military official, Col. Edwin Ramsey, set foot in Bayambang to organize Filipino guerrillas against their common nemesis, the Japanese Imperial Army. In the country's bitter struggle against Japanese imperialism, Bayambang had been Lt. Edwin P. Ramsey's East Central Luzon Guerrilla Area (ECLGA) headquarters for some time. ECLGA encompassed Manila, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga, Tarlac, Pangasinan, Zambales and La Union.

Ramsey's aide de camp was Major Claro J. Camacho of Barangay Nalsian. (Camacho would become the first pilot from Bayambang and would serve as Liaison Officer of the Philippine Air Force.)

According to local lore, Col. Ramsey evaded capture by the Japanese by hiding inside a taltagan (giant boat-shaped wooden mortar) in the barrio of Inirangan.

When liberation came, American forces bombed the big buildings including the church and Calvo Bridge. One bomb was dropped in the church and fell right in the middle of the aisle but did not explode, causing no damage – a miracle attributed to the patron, St. Vincent Ferrer.

Another bomb created a huge crater at the northern part of M.H. Del Pilar St. (The crater has been recently filled up with assorted materials and converted into the present barangay hall complex.)

When the military government of the Japanese Imperial Army relinquished its military rule, Leopoldo Aquino was named municipal mayor and served up to mid-1944.

1944

Mariano Fernandez took over as acting municipal mayor up to Liberation time. He was appointed by Pangasinan governor Santiago Estrada.

On December 27, former mayor Enrique Roldan was executed over a fishpond (Mangabul?) dispute with a rival guerilla unit but under the guise that he was a Japanese collaborator. The masterminds were eventually sentenced with reclusion perpetua. (People of the Philippines vs Bato; date of decision: May 31, 1950)

1945

During Liberation era, Ambrosio Gloria became the next municipal mayor after he was appointed by the Philippine Civil Affairs Unit of the United States Army. He served for about a year.

The ECLGA war veterans held their first annual convention in Bayambang Normal School (what would become PSU-Bayambang Campus today) on November 15, 1945.

Pre-Electric Lighting Devices

Pre-Electric Lighting Devices

Can you imagine a time where there was no electric-powered light? Depending on the perspective, it was either the literally Dark Ages or a romantic era when townsfolk spent time by stargazing or by leisurely watching fireflies light up little paths under the moonlight.

Before the advent of electricity, townsfolk had to get by by using an assortment of lighting devices or equipment.

Torches made of bamboo tubing with a cloth soaked in gasoline at the end were carried around as one walked a dark path. Dried-up coconut fronds were also used as makeshift torch.

Candles were used in homes and churches.

At night, the kingki -- small gasoline-laden lamps made mostly out of tin can with a wick made of cloth -- was useful. The kingki, or tinterwan, came in various shapes and sizes.

For brighter illumination, there was the hasag, a large glass lamp fueled by kerosene that gave a strong clear white light, like fluorescent light. One lighted the bulb-shaped wick by pumping at the kerosene with a lever and using a lighted matchstick.

According to local historical record, it was only in 1976 when the [Central] Pangasinan Electric Cooperative Inc. or CENPELCO, a non-stock electric cooperative, started its operations and extended services to the town of Bayambang.

The changes this development brought on were, of course, profound.

The Pandayan

The Pandayan of Idong: An Ancestral Forge of Fire, Iron, and Memory


Tucked within the quiet milieu of Barangay Idong is a humble pandayan, an ancestral blacksmith’s forge that has not only shaped iron but continues to stand the test of time.


Belonging to Daniel de Guzman Mandapat, this ethnographic work implement dates back to the early 1800s, making it more than two centuries old. The pandayan was inherited through generations, beginning with Mandapat’s forefather—recognized as the very first blacksmith of Barangay Idong—passed down to his grandfather, then to his father, Tianong Mandapat, and finally entrusted to Daniel himself. Each generation did not merely own the forge; they carried forward a living tradition.


At the heart of the pandayan is a simple yet ingenious system: an iron furnace paired with a hand-operated air pump carved from a redwood log. This particular wood is known for revealing a deep, blood-red hue when its bark is stripped—an arresting visual that mirrors the intensity of the forge’s fire. A long metal rod is used to pump air into the hollowed log, feeding oxygen into the flames and raising the heat to levels capable of bending iron to human will.


The blacksmithing process was painstaking and slow, demanding strength, patience, and mastery. Coal was burned until it reached searing heat, into which a wheel axle was placed until it glowed red.


With rhythmic hammer strikes, the smith flattened the metal, reshaping it again and again until it emerged as a barang or jungle bolo—an essential blade for both survival and labor.


Beyond its technical ingenuity, the pandayan holds profound historical significance. During the Second World War, it became a silent ally of resistance, producing weapons for local guerrillas who fought for freedom. In times of peace, the blades forged here served farmers, helping them clear land and sustain livelihoods. The bolos were also sold within the barangay and neighboring towns, making the forge a modest yet vital source of income for the Mandapat family.


Today, however, the future of the pandayan hangs in delicate balance. Although Daniel Mandapat’s two nieces—its prospective heirs—know the craft of making jungle bolos and weapons, they have chosen different professional paths. Like many traditional practices, the forge faces the quiet threat of fading relevance in a rapidly modernizing world.


Yet the pandayan remains—a powerful symbol of ancestral knowledge, wartime resilience, and the dignity of manual craft. More than an object of iron and wood, it is a vessel of memory, carrying within it the echoes of hammer blows, the glow of fire, and the enduring spirit of Barangay Idong.


Profiled on May 27, 2019, through the invaluable testimony of key informant Daniel de Guzman Mandapat, and documented by cultural mappers Raymund R. Marcos, Marjorie FM. Bravo, Glaiza W. Seguin, Diana Rose D. Reyes, Lyza Gwen M. Iglesias, Al Chris DG. Junio, and Mark Bryan DG. Gonzalez, with Christopher Gozum as project adviser, all of whom were from Bayambang National High School.
