SAN CARLOS CITY, Philippines –Lazaro Milanes and his wife, Shirley, have made it their mission to save the folk and love songs of their native Pangasinan from oblivion.

The Milanes couple, who are educators, revive and popularize native songs and compose new ditties so they can keep the Pangasinan language alive.
