Pangasinan (pronounced as “pang-gasinan”) is a province in the Ilocos Region of northern Luzon, the chief island of the Philippines. Its capital is Lingayen. Being in a fertile plain with an extensive coastline, the area is known for agricultural and aquatic products like corn crops, dried fish, carabao milk, duhat wine, nipa hut roofings, tuba and other products.
By car
Pangasinan is served by the Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Expressway (TPLEX) since 2015, shortening travel time from Manila. The motorway has exits in Rosales, Urdaneta, Binalonan, Pozorrubio, and Sison.
By plane
There is no airport in Pangasinan with commercial flights, and the two only airports, in Lingayen and Binalonan, are mostly used by general aviation and flying schools.
The best way to get around Pangasinan is by provincial bus, with frequent connections across key cities and towns. Major operators are Victory Liner and Five Star, Pangasinan Solid North and Dagupan Bus Line.
