Pangasinan, Cebu to forge sisterhood
LINGAYEN–Pangasinan and Cebu will soon be sister-provinces, fostering cordial relations, cultural enhancement, and economic development.
The Sangguniang Panlalawigan (SP) of Pangasinan passed Provincial Resolution No. 446-2014 last week expressing support to the sisterhood proposal.
Vice Governor Jose Ferdinand Calimlim Jr., the SP presiding officer, said the sisterhood was discussed during the visit of officials of Cebu led by its Governor Hilario Davide III last February 4-5, 2014 to learn from Pangasinan’s best practices in public health care.
“The team of Davide was fully impressed and satisfied on its first visit to some provincial government hospitals in Pangasinan and was inspired to emulate the achievement of the province in terms of its delivery of health services to the people,” states the resolution.
The SP said that the sisterhood relationship will pave the way for stronger relations between the two provinces who share common visions, goals, and aspirations in pursuing local good governance.–Johanne R. Macob
