Lim wants vision for Dagupan revisited
THE Lim administration in Dagupan City plans to revisit the vision it had set 8 years ago crafted by stakeholders in the city.
“We have to think 25 to 50 years from now,” exhorted Mayor Benjamin Lim when he addressed the City Development Council Meeting and Planning Workshop recently.
He said it was imperative for the city’s residents to visualize where and what they want to be years from now.
“We have to talk about what is our vision for Dagupan so that once we have agreed on a framework regardless of who will sit as mayor of the city, we have a road map that everybody should follow,” said Lim.
Towards this end, Lim said a visioning exercise involving different sectors to include barangay officials, sectors, business sectors, students, professionals, market vendors, fisherfolks, tricycle and jeepney drivers.
He recalled that the idea of staging “Bangus Festival” was one of the outputs of the visioning exercise he organized eight years ago.
The recent workshop was facilitated by City Administrator Vladimir Mata, Professor Gabby Maria Lopez of Ateneo de Manila University and senior fellow of the Development Academy of the Philippines as lecturer. (CIO)
