Welcome! Kabaleyan a taga Mangaldan.


Aliguas Mangaldan is a space for the celebration of life, a linkage to Mangaldanians' ancestral birth place and a collaboration forum to assist our town of Mangaldan, Pangasinan. This is your website to connect with our townmates back home and abroad. It is a volunteer project initiated (Sep 2006) by Marie Aquino-Junio and Djoma de Guzman on behalf of the Mangaldan Residents of Vancouver (MAREVA), British Columbia. All 'Kabaleyans' across the world are invited to send and share your stories and pictures.
