In Pangasinan, progress is no longer just a vision. It is taking shape in farms, schools, fisheries, and health centers across the province.
Pangasinan Governor Ramon V. Guico III began his second term with a renewed commitment to grassroots development, highlighting progress in agriculture, enterprise, education, and healthcare during his inauguration at the Sison Auditorium.
Under Guico’s leadership, the province was named Regional Outstanding Kadiwa ng Pangulo (LGU Implementer) by the Department of Agriculture, recognizing efforts to connect producers directly to consumers. Since 2022, over 2,500 MSMEs from Pangasinan have joined national trade fairs, generating over ₱21 million in sales.
The Corporate Farming Program has expanded, providing more barangays with free seeds, fertilizers, and equipment. Four warehouses with drying pavements now operate in Sta. Barbara, Bugallon, and San Quintin. Meanwhile, the upcoming ₱239-million Pangasinan Bangus Breeding and Hatchery in Bolinao aims to strengthen the province’s aquaculture industry.
To address low palay prices, Guico proposed that the provincial government purchase rice harvests to support hospitals and emergency needs, ensuring fair prices for farmers.
Through the “Ipagpatuloy ang Galing” initiative, Pangasinan now services all 1,364 barangays with medical missions, food packs, roadworks, and electrification. In education, Pangasinan Polytechnic College continues to grow, with new campuses in Umingan and Bugallon and a 34-room academic building underway in Lingayen.
On health, the province will soon build specialty hospitals—including a Heart Center and a training hospital in San Carlos City—following recognition from the Department of Health.
“In unity, we can sustain Pangasinan’s progress,” Guico said, urging citizens to continue supporting the province’s vision for inclusive growth.
