    ■ Spanish and American missionaries introduced Christianity to Pangasinan. Prior to the Spanish
    conquest in 1571, the predominant religion of the people of Pangasinan was similar to the
    indigenous religion of the highland Igorot or the inhabitants of the Cordillera Administrative
    Region on the island of Luzon, who mostly retained their indigenous culture and religion. A
    translation of the New Testament (excluding Revelation) in the Pangasinan language by Fr. Nicolas
    Manrique Alonzo Lallave, a Spanish Dominican friar assigned in Urdaneta, was the first ever
    translation of a complete portion of the Bible in a Philippine language. Pangasinan was also
    influenced by Hinduism, Buddhism and Islam to a lesser extent, before the introduction of
    Christianity. Some Pangasinense people have reverted to their indigenous religion headed by their
    supreme deity, Ama Kaoley or Ama-Gaolay,[11] while some Sambal people of the west have also
    reverted to their indigenous religion, headed by the supreme god, Malayari.

    area is devoted to crop production. Aside from being one of the Philippine's rice granaries, Pangasinan is also a major
    producer of coconut, mango and eggplant, Pangasinan is the richest province in Ilocos Region of the Philippines.

    Sea. Pangasinan's aquaculture includes oyster and sea urchin farms.
