DAGUPAN CITY – Benipisyaryo ng libreng paghuhukay ng mga kailugan ang second class city na ito at ang first class town ng Calasiao sa 10- Year Rehabilitation River Program ng pamahalaang lalawigan ng Pangasinan para maibsan ang matagal ng problema ng mga pagbaha dito.

CHIEF EXECS. (From left and clockwise): Pangasinan Governor Ramon V. Guico III, Vice Gov. Mark DG. Lambino, Calasiao Mayor Patrick A. Caramat, and Dagupan City Mayor Belen T. Fernandez. 

’Well, that’s the ideal of course because we have also to clear the Pantal River dahil doon naman talaga heavily silted. Kahit ang lalim ng gagawin natin upstream sa Calasiao and even towards Santa Barbara kung mababaw na mababaw pagdating sa Dagupan ang tubig naman ay maiipon at maiipon naman diyan sa upstream diyan sa Calasiao at Sta. Barbara so kailangan e clean din o laliman ulit o linisan iyang sa Dagupan side,” paliwanag ni Vice Governor Mark Lambino.

Putin wants to ban gas to Europe but wants to sell it to China, India, and the Philippines, said by a resource person at the German news outlet DW.

Trump just lifted out the ban for India to buy gas and crude from Russia, after Iran put deadly mines at the Strait for Hormuz to discourage oil tankers ingressing and egressing at the Gulf States like Saudi Arabia.

I saw recently the video of Israeli Ambassador to the Philippines Dana Kursh conversing with Pangasinan Governor Ramon V. Guico III in a phone call while Basista Mayor J.R Resuello, other top local public officials, and the family of Mary Ann Velasquez de Vera, 32, (who perished in an Iranian ballistic missile attacked in Tel Aviv, Israel on February 28, 2026) listen.

The Envoy pledged to help the family. “I’m sending extra hand for you if that’s okay?”.
