The grand chandelier at the middle of the auditorium. It especially looks really gorgeous when lit. 

"Our destiny as a province and our future as a people depend not upon one single person, much less the governor, even with all the powers in his hands." So goes Governor Amado T. Espino's speech during his 007 oath-taking, giving emphasis on the province's need for its people to act with the current government.

Oner very good example for the governor's quote is the Sison Auditorium's security personnel who have given yours truly an in-depth record of Pangasinan's numerous awards and achievements. It's amazing to know how much one can learn from these humble security guards. It's sad though, that I wasn't given enough time to ask their names.

Built in 1927, the Sison Auditorium has been home to Pangasinan National High School as their main auditorium. Now fully rejuvenated under Governor Espino's reign, it serves as the cultural center of the province, showcasing Pangasinan's rich history, culture, and arts.

As one wanders around the auditorium, be prepared to be amazed by a spectacle of lights from the auditorium's numerous grand chandeliers. The dome can be very overwhelming as one absorbs not only the high ceilings but the intricately-carved wood paneling as well.

True to the words of our governor, our province's destiny lies not just in his hands, but in the hands of everybody who has helped make our province's vision into reality.
Just take a look around the capitol complex and experience not only a blast from the past with its neo-classical architecture, but get to see the outcome from the helping hands of everyone who made all this beauty possible.
