Here are some pictures from my day in Lingayen. I was able to come across the provincial library and found the above books regarding Pangasinan Language. The dictionaries are all pretty lame. They are a straight glossary from Pangasinan to English, which is not useful if you're trying to understand how to use a word in a sentence, multiple uses and meanings, etc. The brown-colored book looks like it could be useful. It was published in the 1970's and talks about grammar. There were also a bunch of books of literature and poetry in Pangasinan. I'll get to those later.

I also found this English Tagalog Ilocano dictionary at the National Bookstore, which was similar to the other dictionaries i.e. Not a dictionary.

The "Women Leaders" pic is a conference I stumbled upon that I'm going to attend tomorrow. I'm hoping to make some good professional/local connections here. We'll see what happens!
