THE COAT OF ARMS OF THE ARCHDIOCESE

THE HISTORY :

In 1968, DZNS was just a 1,000 watt weakling, but one of the best at that time. The station is located on the groundfloor of the Archbishop`s Residence in Vigan, with its transmitter more than a kilometer away, opposite of the Vigan Major Seminary. In the early part of 1970, it became an affiliate of the Philippines` largest media outfit : ABS-CBN, it was the radio to beat in Ilocos Sur.

Being affiliated with the country`s biggest network provided a big boost to the fledging radio station in terms of programming and popularity. It had a large audience for its two “ LIVE SHOWS” on Sundays. Its News and Public Affairs programs gave the competition a run for their money. Moreover, the weekly address of the Archbishop was the voice of Hope for the opposition at that time.

But just as it rose to unprecedented heights of fame and glory, DZNS was abruptly down along with the rest of broadcast media. That was the day Martial Law proclaimed on Sept. 21, 1972. Two months later, DZNS was re-opened through a Temporary Permit to Operate. It was the only ABS-CBN radio stations are allowed to broadcast.

This was short lived, however. On March 20, the late Archbishop Juan C. Sison received a telegram from the Undersecretary of Defense, saying "Sorry Monsignor, your application for Permanent Permit to Operate is not granted". On that day DZNS breathed its last.

THE RE-OPENING :
In a renewed effort to respond to the need for "community evangelization" and to serve as a media support for the promotions of the aspirations of the rural poor, DZNS was formally re-opened on July 7, 1991. At its re-birth, it articulated its vision of fostering a life of faith, prayer and service, as well as intensifying the Archdiocesan thrust towards community building. The station re-committed itself to the moral, cultural, political, social and economic upliftment of the people through reliable information, public service, educational programs, wholesome entertainment, and above all, in a more focused manner, through the proclamation of the good news. No less than the Archbishop of Nueva Segovia, the Most Rev. Orlando Quevedo, OMI, graciously opened the door and lit the path to the beginnings of responsible broadcasting.

THE INAUGURATION :

PROGRAM SCHEME :
DZNS pioneered well-crafted programs long before the proclamation of Martial Law in 1972, its glorious years. A programming scheme that was still carried and visualized as the prime factor for crafting carefully the programming base. DZNS continued its cause and high ideals to help the mass based in the countryside and other kinds of people by delivering the best refined programs from SIGN-ON to SIGN-OFF; carrying the mantle of responsibility being the great cause. It was not a profitable venture but it achieved its objevtives in inspiring, teaching and building image by depicting vignettes of Filipino legacy.
For community evangelization is the foremost vision of DZNS and as the driving force behind the programming structure. Starting with the premise, as search for programs that would enlighten, teach, elevate and inspire the community.

Nueva Segovia to launch Pauline Year

VIGAN CITY, June 12, 2008—The Archdiocese of Nueva Segovia (ANS) launches its Pauline Jubilee Celebration with the opening of the Jubilee Door of the Conversion of St. Paul Metropolitan Cathedral in Vigan City, June 28 this year.

The symbolic opening, according to Archbishop Ernesto A. Salgado, will signal the start of pilgrimages to the seat of the Archdiocese, among other activities lined up for the Jubilee Year of the Apostle Paul from June 28, 2008-June 29, 2009.

An Ad Hoc Committee has been tasked with the planning of liturgical, cultural and ecumenical events and pilgrimages to mark the Jubilee, just as the Holy Father had initiated in June of 2007, when he announced the commemoration of the bi-millennium of the Apostle Paul’s birth.

The Jubilee theme, Salgado emphasized, will be founded on the Pauline spirituality of Conversion, Renewal, Evangelization and Mission.

A Pastoral Letter will announce and explain throughout the Archdiocese, the granting of plenary indulgences to participants of the Jubilee Mass on the Vigil of the Solemnity of Sts. Peter and Paul (June 28, 2008) as well as to all pilgrims to the Metropolitan Cathedral of the Conversion of St. Paul in Vigan City during the Jubilee Year.

A major program for the year is a Base-Level (SiSa) Formation of the Faithful for Spiritual Renewal being undertaken by various vicariates. A Formation on the History of the Archdiocese for schools and Pauline Catechism is, likewise, being finalized by the Commission on Christian Formation (COCF).

This year is a double Jubilee for Nueva Segovia as 2008 marks the 250th year of the transfer of the See from Lal-lo in Cagayan Valley to Vigan in the Ilocos region by a request of the late Bp. Juan de la Fuente Yepes, in 1758.

The theme of conversion, renewal and mission endows the commemoration of the setting up of the See in its new seat in Vigan with even deeper significance.

The World Heritage City of Vigan joins the archdiocese in the celebration of the transfer of Nueva Segovia’s seat on September 7, 2008 because it was on this day that Vegan was elevated from status of town (pueblo) to city (ciudad).

The Archbishop urged the priests and laity, especially of Vigan City, to promote the spirit and lead in the realization of the Pauline jubilee theme in their lives as an act of being one in the mission of the Church.

Pilgrimages to Lal-lo by ANS Vicariates, the Silver Jubilee Celebration of CARITAS NUEVA SEGOVIA, TIMEK TI AMIANAN (The ANS official publication) and INTEGRAL YOUTH MINISTRY as well as parish-level and vicarial jubilee celebrations are among the agenda of the AHC.

A special pilgrimage “In the Footsteps of Paul” is also being organized, which will retrace Paul’s missionary journeys through Asia Minor, Greece and finally, to Rome to the apostle’s earthly resting place in the Basilica of St. Paul outside the walls. (Fran Quitoriano)
