HB 4267 A GERRYMANDERING
Espino slams redistricting
LINGAYEN--Governor Amado Espino Jr. has
slammed the proposed redistricting of
the province, saying House Bill 4267,
which contains the move, is tinted with
gerrymandering.
The proposed law, authored jointly by
Reps. Victor Agbayani of the second
district and Rachel Arenas of the third
district, is not based on public
consultation and a thorough study,
according to Espino. |
Agbayani defends HB 4267
SECOND District Rep. Victor Agbayani
said selfish political motives torpedoed
and blocked the approval of House Bill
4267, containing a proposed
redistricting of the province which he
authored.
"This would have been the
proper time to do it," Agbayani told
Pangasinan newsmen after the Senate
committee chaired by Senator Benigno
Aquino II failed to act on the bill.

Mayor Belen Fernandez said city council
staff had unearthed
an old ordinance passed by previous
legislative council of Dagupan that can
help settle boundary disputes between

formed itself into a quasi-judicial body
last Monday to hear the
boundary
dispute between Barangays Pogo Chico and
Barangay IV. |
Rains worsen situation in Emong-hit
areas
BOLINAO--Classes went on as scheduled in
areas devastated by Typhoon
Emong, but students had to bear worse conditions as continuous
rains last week poured down their
makeshift school rooms, mainly tents or
damaged classrooms covered with
temporary roofing materials.
Mayor Alfonso
Celeste, who
proposed to postpone the opening of

students' situation and criticized the
local Department of Education's (DepEd)
decision to push through with the
original June 1 schedule despite the
severe damages that the schools
suffered. |

eyeing various elective posts in local
governments in the province or in
congressional districts in the May 2010
election. |
Basic lesson from A(H1N1): Stay clean
A prominent
doctor in Pangasinan said there is a
valuable lesson to be learned from the
Influenza A (H1N1) virus that is
currently on the spread - observe
personal and social hygiene and maintain
a healthy body.
Dr. Vivencio Villaflor, medical
director at his family-owned Villaflor
Doctors Memorial Hospital in Dagupan
City, said these simple practices are
often neglected and taken for granted
but are, in fact,
very important in avoiding infection by
viral diseases.

the Commission on Audit, and a
fact-finding team created by the city's
