Philippines Video: Sison Auditorium Lingayen Pangasinan
Thanks to the Governor of Pangasinan Amado Espino Jr, the Sison Auditorium formerly known as the “Grand Provincial Auditorium” is renovated and ready to become Pangasinan’s center for performing arts and cultural center.
Governor Espino felt that the buildings in the capital area needed a facelift and wanted them done by the celebration of the Agew na Pangasinan celebration, marking the 430th founding year of the province.
Previously the auditorium was used for cultural events and other events such as beauty pageants, stage performances and even a badminton tournament.
The name Sison Auditorium comes from the name of the late Governor of Pangasinan Teofilo Sison, who was the first Pangasinese to become Secretary of National Defense.
