OUR PEOPLE HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN:

* Mayor Armand Domantay and other officials of Malasiqui: Your town is now the only one in Pangasinan that is jueteng-free. You have reason to be proud of yourselves! Please maintain it.

* Paging Provincial Board Member Alfonso Bince: It has been four months now since you promised to initiate the drafting of the proposed guidelines for the use of the issued shotguns by barangay captains in the Sangguniang Panlalawigan. What happened?

* Paging Vice Mayor Belen Fernandez: It's been one year and eleven months and two weeks since JLD Motorworks and General Services was found to have illegally collected fees through towing and clamping operations in Dagupan. When will the city council  finally investigate it and establish who were responsible and who benefited from it?
