Dagupan earns 2015 SGLG award
THE Fernandez administration again earned for the Dagupan City government the coveted Seal of Good Local Governance (SGLG) from the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG).
This was confirmed by the Department of the Interior and Local Government ‘s (DILG) Pangasinan Provincial Director Reggie R. Colisao during her meeting with City Mayor Belen T. Fernandez last week.

The city government rated high in financial housekeeping, disaster preparedness and social protection and as business friendly and competitive LGU, peace and order, and environmental management.
