Thank you so much for the feature!
Whenever I see or hear something about Dagupan the first thing that comes to my mind is one of my favorite, Milkfish! Yuuuum!
I haven't heard Bugallon and Mapandan, is it near Binalonan po? Because that's where we used to go for vacation during summer breaks. :>
I miss Pangasinan. Bali - balin Pangasinan!
