Drug trading continues with impunity
By Leonardo Micua IF there is one upcoming project in Dagupan that should be given its due course, it is the flood mitigation project in the flood-prone intersection of A.B. Fernandez Avenue, Arellano Street and M.H. del Pilar Street. A project of the DPWH at the request of the…
The long term solution
