Mayor Neil Lizares III calls for the creation of the Pasidungog Foundation, a non-stock and non-profit organization in the advancement of our Talisaynon customs and traditions. The Hiligaynon or Visayan word ‘Pasidungog’ which means honor or exaltation is chosen as the name because at its core and essence, the Foundation is envisioned to advance the full-support, protection, keeping alive and promotion of our Talisaynon cultural values, customs and traditions and values.

The thrust of the Foundation includes, among others, 1) To develop awareness of the arts, culture, history and tradition of Talisaynons and to develop networks outside of Talisay City to promote such; 2) To be able to empower the young people with knowledge and acceptance of the arts, culture, history and tradition of their ascendants so that they may in turn relay the same to the future of Talisaynons.
