1
million join street party
GOVERNOR Amado Espino Jr. and Vice
Governor Marlyn Primicias-Agabas, in
solidarity with Dagupan City officials,
momentarily left the Pangasinan
Pista'y Dayat
on Thursday night to join the grand
Bangusan Street Party, the
culminating event for the 2009 Bangus
Festival, on Jose R. de Venecia
Expressway Extension in Dagupan City.
It was the first time that top provincial
officials made their presence felt in
the Dagupan Bangus Festival since this
was launched in 2002. Dagupan, a
chartered city, is not under the
jurisdiction of the provincial capitol.

Deaths of local hogs not by swine flu
LINGAYEN--Don't panic.
This was the advice of Provincial
Veterinary Office to the public as he
clarified that there is no confirmed
swine flu case involving pigs in
Pangasinan.
Dr. Benedicto Perez, provincial
veterinarian, said the cause of deaths
of some 50 pigs in several towns is
Porcine Reproductive Respiratory
Syndrome (PRRS) and hog cholera, not
swine flu as earlier suspected. |
Swine flu scare pulls down pork price
PRICE of pork in the market dropped by
as much as P20 per kilogram following
the swine flu scare, particularly a
rumor spread that backyard piggeries in
some parts of the province were infected
with flu.
Dr. Rodolfo Custodio, vice president for Northern
Luzon of the National Federation of Hog
Farmers and also the president for the
group's Pangasinan chapter, said
news of the global swine flu infestation
and the suspected swine flu cases here
drastically pulled down the farm gate
price from P110 per kilogram in February
to only P90 this week. |
JDV SAYS
One more congressional district for
Pangasinan
PANGASINAN will have one additional
legislative district once a special
legislation is approved in the House of
Representatives providing for the
creation of new districts in the
Philippines.
Fourth District Rep.
Jose de Venecia Jr. said under the
proposed law, the first, second, and
third districts of the six existing
districts will be re-configured to form
a seventh district. |

Municipality with the Cleanest River" in

protection and preservation of the
environment were handed out on April 25
