Mangaldan Mayor opens 2 new buildings

By Mortz C. Ortigoza

MANGALDAN – Another two local government buildings here have been inaugurated recently by this burgeoning town mayor.

The new facade of the Mangaldan Public Market.

Mayor Bona Fe D. Parayno led last Monday the official opening of the completed world class façade of the main public market and the other additional Pasalabong Center.

“Ito ay cutting of ribbon sa market façade at saka additional na Pasalubong Center ng Mangaldan LGU,” she stressed.

She said the façade was worth P10 million.

 Parayno graced Last July 2017 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 infrastructure 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 thriving 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.

Mayor Parayno said that the second phase of the market stalls will be constructed this year.

“Ang second phase naman pinagusapan pa iyong budget pero ipapagawa this year iyong second phase ng first phase”.

Last year, the legislature under Vice Mayor Pedro Surdilla unanimously approved the authority for Mayor Parayno to engage in the pre-selling of stalls at the Phase-II.

An excerpt of Resolution No. 2017-02 said the Phase-II is a replacement to the old market gutted by fire in 2009 to “ease the smooth transition of business transaction of the project to the businessmen who are interested to avail of stalls at the public market.”

Fernando Saguisag Cabrera, administrative officer 4 of the local government here, said that the already collected ten million pesos good will for the trust fund would be exclusively allocated, as the ordinance mandates, for the implementation and rehabilitation of the Phase II market.

Cabrera cited this burgeoning town has recouped more than one-fourth of the amortization of the P40 million loans she applied at the Land Bank of the Philippines through the good will monies and rents from stall owners.
