Mayors' league
hands off on Pulido
THE Pangasinan Mayors League (PML) is
taking a hands-off stance on the
one-month suspension ordered by the
provincial board on one of its members,
Mayor Nestor Pulido of Anda.
Mayor Mojamito Libunao of San Fabian, PML secretary-general, said
the league, headed by Mayor Ramon Guico
Jr. of Binalonan, has yet to meet about
the matter. |
"City remains strong." -- Mayor
Fernandez
Mayor
Alipio Fernandez Jr., in his State of
the City Address, declared that Dagupan
remains "strong".
At the same time, he rallied officials and
the people to "rise to make this city
better than we have known”.
Fernandez, speaking on January 26 before
the Sangguniang Panlungsod
presided by Vice Mayor Belen Fernandez
held at the Dagupan City People’s
Astrodome, credited the stability and
successes of the city to “innovative
governance” and “shared
responsibilities”. |

Bigger Bangus Festival to unfold this
summer
A GRANDER Dagupan Bangus Festival is now
being planned by the city government as
part of a strategy to stimulate economic
activity in the midst of the financial
crisis.
The executive committee in charge of
organizing the event, headed by Vice
Mayor Belen Fernandez, has started
consulting various sectors, including
local businessmen and barangay chairmen,
for the planning of the month-long
summer spectacle which will start on the
first week of April. |
Dagupan's Liga backs Gumarang
THE
Liga ng Barangay
in Dagupan City has thrown its "full and
unconditional support" to Punong
Barangay Angelito Gumarang of Bonuan
Gueset over his arrest and detention two
weeks ago.
In a resolution issued last January 26, the
league condemned the action of policemen
who arrested and detained Gumarang as
"unlawful and blatant abuse of
authority". |
BM Mendoza's ouster sought
Mayor
Nestor Pulido of Anda vowed to initiate
a move to seek the ouster of Provincial
Board Member Von Mark Mendoza as
chairman of the Sangguniang
Panlalawigan blue-ribbon committee.
The blue-ribbon is a quasi-judicial
committee on good government and
accountability of public officers.
Pulido said Mendoza showed "incompetence,
partiality and lack of prudence" in the
exercise of due process in legislation. |
Decorp, CSI are top Dagupan taxpayers
THE
Dagupan Electric Corporation (Decorp),
franchise holder of the electricity
distribution in Dagupan and several
neighboring towns, was the biggest payer
of business taxes in the city for 2008,
contributing P6.9million.
A list of top 10 business taxpayers and
10 top realty taxpayers released by City
Treasurer Romelita Alcantara on Friday
showed that City Supermarket Inc., which
is owned by
Vice Mayor Belen Fernandez, is in close
second with a payment of P6.8 million in
both business and real property taxes.
City
loses appeal vs. MetroState
THE Court of Appeals has denied the
appeal filed by the Dagupan City
government on the decision of a lower
court regarding the civil case filed by
MetroState Realty Corporation.
But the city is not giving up the fight as
City Legal Officer George Mejia, upon
the instruction of Mayor Alipio
Fernandez Jr., has already filed a
motion for reconsideration on January 20.
MetroState is a private company that is
constructing a two-storey
tourism/commercial building on a lot
owned by the city at the former
Magsaysay Park just in front of the city
hall. |
