CAPITOL NEWS
To provide free health service and environment-friendly program, the I Love Pangasinan Kalusugan Karaban (ILPKK) and Kalinisan Karaban headed to Balungao to give service to Pangasinenses of Barangay Poblacion and its adjacent barangays on August 1.
Warmly welcomed by the citizens of Balungao, Gov. Amado I. Espino III and First Lady Karina P. Espino wholeheartedly provided free medical and dental services and consultation, laboratory diagnostic examination and supplemental feeding program and environment-friendly mobile store to the townsfolks.
Launched in 2016, the I Love Pangasinan Kalusugan Karaban is a brainchild project of Governor Espino, administered through the Provincial Health Office primarily intended to provide quality health care to Pangasinenses and to bring health services closer to them. The ILPKK is currently on its 5th season held in more than 200 barangays.
The ILPKK also provided rolls of olyset nets to Poblacion Central School, Gerry cans, hyposol, and insecticides for anti-dengue to Barangay Poblacion, sanitation kits for pregnant mothers, school supplies and slippers for students, and tokens for senior citizens
On the other hand, the Kalinisan Karaban is a project of the Provincial Government of Pangasinan through the General Services Office of waste collection in exchange for goods launched earlier this year.

The twin projects also highlighted the measures taken by the Provincial Government of Pangasinan to address the dengue cases that threaten the whole country.
“Dapat unahin natin ang kalinisan at kalusugan upang matulungan natin ang ating mga barangay officials na mapababa ang mortality rate at victims ng dengue,” said Board Member Salvador Perez, Jr.
