The influence of religious groups
By Leonardo Micua THIS is my take on the misplaced taunting by the political opposition – why Dagupan City again missed the boat in this year’s Seal of Good Local Governance (SGLG) award. They said all LGUs in Pangasinan earned the prestigious recognition and only Dagupan under the watch of Belen…
