No Comments on CITY OPENS AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECT FOR LOW-INCOME FAMILIES

The City Government of Dagupan, led by Mayor Belen T. Fernandez, opened the city’s Affordable Housing Project for low-income families through an orientation earlier today, November 14, at the Dagupan City Plaza.

Aside from low-income families, the project will also prioritize the Local Government Unit (LGU) employees and Pag-IBIG Members.

During the coordination meeting, Pag-IBIG Membership Drive, and Fund Briefing with the city government employees, the local chief executive explained the importance of investing and owning your home.

“Pag mag-invest kayo ng bahay niyo, invest niyo ngayon, yung tatlong libong (3000) piso niyo after five (5) years to ten (10) years wala ng halaga yun, para na lang siyang five hundred (500) pesos. By that time, ang sweldo niyo pataas na nang pataas. Hindi niyo na mararamdaman ang inyong hulugan, kumita pa kayo dahil tumaas na yung presyo ng bahay. ” the mayor explained.

Fernandez continued her discussion, sharing her vision regarding this project.

“Kasi ang plano namin labing-isang (11) building ang itatayo. One thousand one hundred (1100) na bahay ang dapat nating maitayo” she added.

Mayor Belen thanked the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) and the PAG-IBIG Fund for their help in making this program possible for Dagupeños.

The housing program is aligned with President Ferdinand ‘Bongbong’ Marcos Jr. Pambansang Pabahay Para sa Pilipino (4PH) program with the aim of improving the lives of every Filipino through the acquisition of a livable home for them and their families.

“Maligayang Kaarawan, House Speaker Eugenio Perez Sr., Founding Father of the Dagupan City Charter!”

Ito ang pagbati ng mga Dagupeño sa ika-128 Birth Anniversary ni dating House Speaker Eugenio Perez Sr., may akda ng Republic Act No. 170, o Charter of the City of Dagupan.

Kasama ang buong lalawigan ng Pangasinan, pinangunahan ni Mayor Belen Fernandez ang pagdiriwang sa lungsod ng Dagupan sa pamamagitan ng isang makabuluhang programa at pag-aalay ng bulaklak sa bantayog ng dating House Speaker ngayong ika-13 ng Nobyembre, sa Brgy. Herrero-Perez.

Sa mensahe ng alkalde, binigyang diin nito ang pagkilala sa hindi matatawarang papel na ginampanan ng dating House Speaker Perez lalo na para sa siyudas ng Dagupan.

“Sa nakalipas na 77 years, lagi tayong nagbabalik tanaw upang kilalanin, parangalan at panatilihing buhay siya sa ating alala dahil kanyang binigyang anyo at hugis ang ating mga pangarap at pagkilala bilang isang maunlad na bayan,” mensahe ng alkalde.

Nais ni Mayor Belen na sikaping turuan ang mga kabataan na huwag limutin si House Speaker Perez dahil sa pagbukas nito ng pinto sa tuloy-tuloy na pagunlad dala ng pagiging opisyal na pagkakatatag ng Dagupan bilang lungsod.

Kasamang sa pagdiriwang sina Vice Mayor Bryan Kua, Councilor Michael Fernandez, Councilor Jigs Seen, PNP Dagupan Chief Brendon Palisoc, BFP Dagupan Chief John Michael Escaño, Barangay Council led by Kap.

No Comments on LGU-DAGUPAN SIGNS MOA WITH DOJ, PNP, R1MC TO STOP DOMESTIC AND FAMILY VIOLENCE

The City Government of Dagupan, Department of Justice (DOJ), Dagupan Prosecutor’s Office, Philippine National Police (PNP) Dagupan, and the Region 1 Medical Center (R1MC) signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) today, August 6, at the Francisco Q. Duque Hall, R1MC, to help stop domestic and family violence in the city.

Mayor Belen T. Fernandez said that the partnership creates a stronger system because it enhances the partner agencies’ ability to provide critical assistance, effective intervention, and compassionate care to victims such as sexual abuse, violence against minors, violence against women, psychological abuse and emotional stress.

“We have come together to form a vital partnership aimed at addressing and supporting victims such as sexual abuse, violence against minors, violence against women, psychological abuse and emotional stress,” she said adding that the city is home to a dedicated Women’s Center, which addresses and supports victims of various crimes and offenses.

R1MC Medical Center Chief Dr. Joseph Roland O. Mejia underscored the importance of the work of the prosecutors and the police to immediately resolve cases of abuse by creating a fast lane with a “seamless process” to immediately secure medico legal certificate.

Dagupan City Prosecutor Ma. Victoria D. Cabrera stressed that the MOA, which she called “covenant”, must be responsive and directly beneficial to the victims, especially those who come from the underprivileged sector.

PLTCOL Brendon Palisoc, for his part, noted that one of the most pressing issues being faced by the arresting officers in filing cases against the suspects is “securing documents needed by courts, which includes the medico legal certificate”.

Palisoc assured that with the MOA already being signed by the partner agencies, the delay in these processes will already be a thing of the past.

Other partners present during the MOA signing are DOJ Regional Prosecutor Christian Paul L. Ulpindo, Dr. Ashok Vasandani, Dr. Arnel Gerard R. Gazmen, Chief Medical Professional Staff II and Supervising Administrative Officer Mr. Ramon T. Bautista.

No Comments on SUPER FAMILY HEALTH CENTER, HANDA NANG MAGHATID NG MALAPIT AT LIBRENG SERBISYONG MEDIKAL

Handa na ang Super Family Health Center (SFHC) na maghatid ng mas pinalapit at libreng serbisyong medikal para sa mga Dagupeños, partikular na sa mga taga eastern barangays.

Ngayong araw, August 3, Sabado, ang blessing at inagurasyon ng pasilidad sa Brgy. Bolosan na pinondohan at itinayo sa tulong ng Department of Health (DOH).

Ayon na rin kay DOH-Center for Health Development 1 Regional Director Dr. Paula Paz Sydiongco, ang P15M Super Family Health Center sa Dagupan ang pinakamalaki sa buong Region 1.

Ayon kay Mayor Belen T. Fernandez, malaking tulong nito, lalo na sa mga taga barangays Bolosan, Salisay, Mangin, Tebeng, Tambac at Mamalingling, dahil libre ang mga medical services tulad ng mga sumusunod: medical check up, laboratory, maternity clinic, X-ray, ultrasound, at ECG na libre para sa mga mahihirap na Dagupeño.

Pebrero noong nakaraang taon nang simulan ang konstruksyon ng pasilidad na naglalaman ng birthing area/delivery room, minor OR/surgical room, ward, dental, laboratory, pharmacy, TB DOTS at iba pang out-patient services.

Bahagi rin ng pagsasakatuparan ng proyekto si Dr. Ashok Vasandani, philanthropist, na nagbahagi ng lot area para sa mas maluwag na daan o access road para sa mga pasyente at emergency vehicles/ambulance patungo sa pasilidad.

Nagsisilbing hamon man ngayon ang nakabinbin paring pondo sa Sangguniang Panlungsod para sa site development ng lugar, dahil hanggang sa ngayon, ayon sa 7 Majority members ng SP ay “pinagaaralan pa nila ito.” Iyan ay mula 2022, 2023, at ngayong 2024.

Sa ngayon ay temporary fence at puno muna ng malunggay ang itinanim sa tulong ng Bolosan Barangay Council sa pangunguna ni Kap. Nancy Morris, City Engineering Office, City Health Office, City Agriculture Office, Bantay Ilog at volunteers dahil kailangan nang buksan ang pasilidad at mapakinabangan na ito ng mga mahihirap na maysakit.
