Basically, that table says that if you put power (whatever that power may be according to the datasheet) on pin #5 and a ground on COM1, then the 'RC' will show on the LCD.

PBP will NOT drive this LCD thru it's built in commands. As I said before, this is a 'dumb' LCD.

You're going to need 14 pins from a PIC to provide power to a segment, and 4 MOSFETs/transistors to apply a ground to a COMmon.
Then you're going to have to write software to drive the LCD, multiplexing various signals to get it to display what you want to display. Then you're going to have to get it to do this roughly 20+ times per second so your eyes don't see any flickering.

You HAVE to stick with this LCD... This LCD is going to 'cost' at least 18 pins from a PIC and a LOAD of code and headaches... I'd talk to whoever is making you do this...and slap them up a bit...
But if you must, do some searching here, there's a few projects around here that deal with multiplexing a display,etc.
