The province of Pangasinan celebrated the 432rd Agew na Pangasinan (Pangasinan Day) on April 11, 2012. The actual date of Agew na Pangasinan is April 5, but the activities and celebration were moved to April 11 as April 5 falls on Holy Week.
One of the highlights is the Asna Awards where the highest recognition will be given to outstanding Pangasinenses. Seven Pangasinenses who had made a mark and great contribution to humanity will be accorded the greatest reverence by their very own province through the “Asna Awards”.
“Asna” is an old term of the Pangasinan word “asin.” It describes the good quality of a man’s character or his demeanor.
