MANGALDAN – The mayor here graced recently the
groundbreaking ceremony of the renovation of the public market she dubbed as
the market central of the three towns and a city that surrounded it.
“The objective of this
project is kept atop of the design of modern infrasture and architectural design
of the modern world. Sabi nga nila embrace change and we all knew Mangaldan
market is the center market catering to the nearby towns which are San Fabian,
Manaoag, Mapandan and even Dagupan City,” the mayor stressed.

She cited that because of this strategical location the
burgeouning town has a “market day” every day - a comparative advantage to other local government unit (LGU) that has
one market day only in a week.
“So in order to encourage
our customers to come and buy in our market we need to renovate and rehabilate the
public market that has not seen any changes for many many years,”Mayor
Parayno cited before this LGU’s officials and media men who converged infront
of the public market.
Parayno made Councilor Aldrin Soriano as an example that
since he was a kid 25 years ago and now a member of the Sangguniang Bayan (town’s
legislature) there were no changes on the façade of the market.
Soriano, chairman of the Market Committee at the SB,
facilitated the resolution in the legislative body for the funding of its
construction.
The other projects Parayno have been implementing are the
Tripple A slaughter house that has been 99 percent complete and the Phase II of
the 76 stalls market areas that has been funded by a loan of P40 million from
the Land Bank of the Philippines.
“It has been
renovated, rehabilated with a cost of ten million pesos in order to get a triple
A ratings to the town’s vision,” she cited the abattoir where businessmen in
Dagupan City and other towns in Pangasinan patronized for the slaughter of their livestock.
Parayno wanted the thriving town to be the Meat Processing
Capital of Pangasinan.
“Kilala ang Mangaldan
at ito ang dinarayo kaya panahon na para ipakita sa ating turista lahat ng
turista na ang ating bayan ay hinde
napapagiwanan ng panahon,” she said.
On the Phase -2 Market, according to Fernando Saguisag
“Adje” Cabrera, administrative officer of the local government here, this town
has already recouped more than one-fourth of the amortization of the P40
million loan from the Land Bank of the Philippines through the goodwill and
rentals from stall owners.

He said from 200 applicants for the 76 stalls of the
proposed phase II f the public market, the local government has selected 76
leases who each paid P150,000 for goodwill money for each stall.
“The goodwill (money) estimated to be P10 million,” he cited.
Cabrera said with the business savvy of Mayor Parayno, the
LGU would not burden the public coffer to pay for the amortization because the
project is income generating.
