Pangasinan benchmarking Iloilo province

OFFICIALS of Pangasinan recently visited the province of Iloilo in a first benchmarking activity done during the administration of Gov. Ramon Guico III.

Vice Governor Mark Lambino told IFM Radio that Pangasinan officials made a courtesy call on Iloilo Governor Arthur Defensor Jr., Vice Governor Christine Garin, and Iloilo City Mayor Jerry Trenas and his delegation was informed of the best practices implemented by Iloilo for the past 11 years to improve their province, and in Iloilo City.

Presentations by different department showed the strategies implemented so that Iloilo can reach its present status as a province today.

Lambino said they visited Iloilo because Iloilo and Pangasinan have similarities, not only in geography but also in their agricultural products so it was useful to benchmark Iloilo’s upgrading of its airport, construction of function projects, implementation of its economic development project as well as in improving its tourism industry, construction of infra projects, education and the cleaning of it rivers.

The province of Iloilo, he said, is a good role model for Pangasinan. (Jhon Caranto)
