_Pangasinan was named from the root word "Asin" which means salt. The main product of the province is salt, bagoong, etc.
Lingayen Baywalk was first constructed in mid-2000s_
_Lingayen has large fishpond areas. Different kinds of fishes and seafoods are being cultured.
We used to have fishpond, but isn't operational for more than two decades._
Every year, there's boat painting contest during summer. It was disrupted by the Covid19 pandemic.

As Covid situation has been improving, borders are already open for everyone, tourism is now beginning to pick up. People started to go on tour in different places. Why shouldn't I promote or share about my hometown (province) which is Pangasinan?
Pangasinan is part of Region I, alongside the provinces Ilocos Norte and Sur, and La Union. Our province has beautiful places to visit as it has beaches, mountains, farms, rivers, falls, and a lot more. However, beaches are more popular because the province has a long stretch of coasts including Lingayen Gulf, and the western areas facing West Philippines Sea (South China Sea).
Let's start with Lingayen, the capital of Pangasinan. It's also the town where I've been living since I was born. Lingayen is not yet a city, but remains a first class municipality. There are proposals during late 2000s and goals for cityhood. Nothing happened, probably political reasons.
Meanwhile, I'll be sharing some facts about Pangasinan through the photos above.
