DAGUPAN CITY AWARDED BILANG “BEST ENVIRONMENTAL PARTNER” NG DENR!

Nangunguna sa environmental actions ang Dagupan City na kinilala bilang BEST ENVIRONMENTAL PARTNER ng Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) sa ginanap na “𝗚𝗔𝗪𝗔𝗗 𝗞𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗞𝗛𝗔-𝗦𝗔𝗡” Philippine Environment Month 2024 Culminating Program.

Malugod na tinanggap ni Mayor Belen Fernandez ang award, kasama sina Atty. Gil Aromin, Environmental Programs Consultant at Waste Management Division Chief Bernard Cabison noong July 15, sa Hotel Ariana & Restaurant na nakabase sa Paringao, Bauang, La Union.

Ang parangal ay bilang pagkilala sa aktibong partisipasyon ng siyudad at pakikipagtulungan sa nasyonal na gobyerno para sa pagsasagawa ng mga programa, proyekto, at aktibidad na nangangalaga sa kapaligiran at likas yaman.

Ayon sa alkalde, naging mahalaga dito ang kontribusyon ng mga barangay officials, kabilang ang mga SK officials, barangay frontliners at mga non-governmental organizations.

Taos-pusong pasasalamat din ang ipinaabot ni Mayor Belen sa mga bumubuo ng CMO Team, partikular kina City Legal Officer Atty. Aurora Valle sa pagbuo ng Executive Order No. 2. o “Creating and Organizing Foreshore Regulatory Commission of the City of Dagupan” na nagresulta sa pagtanggal o paglinis ng mga ilegal na istraktura sa may tabing-dagat ng Bonuan Binloc at sa tulong ng Engineering Office ng siyudad sa pangunguna ni City Engineer Josephine Corpuz, Dagupan City PNP sa pamumuno ni PLtCol Brendon Palisoc, at sa DENR-CENRO sa pangunguna ni Engr.

Unaen su Baley: 2024 State of the City Address

Today I have chosen to speak to you about the true state of our city, and I have chosen to address you all through these young people that I loved so much.

More than the symbol it represents, I have purposefully prepared to speak to every Dagupeño through them because in the bustling corridors of our planning and development of Dagupan, a new wave of voices is rising to the forefront – those of our young people.

All my ideas and ideals in governance has been forged and shaped by our initiatives to build a city they would inherit in the future.

And this morning, my message to all Dagupeños and to our young people is this: WE SPARKED CHANGE FOR THE BETTER.

Mas matatag ang ating lungsod dahil matibay ang ating pundasyon at matatag ang daan tungo sa pagbabago dahil sabay-sabay natin ginuhit ang kasaysayan.

In less than 2 years, we have reversed the slide and founded a stronger economy way much better than we found it when you elected me mayor in 2022.

Ito ay dahil pinili nating sumulat ng mahusay na kuwento noong 2023: Ang unahin ang bayan, higit sa lahat.

Despite the political and social upheavals that threatened to break us, we emerged strong because our resolve is stronger than our foes have imagined.

Inuna po kasi natin ang bayan. Wala nang saysay ang pagiging mayorya o minorya, dahil mas maraming Dagupeño ang piniling makiisa sa ating mga mabuting plano at mga hangarin.

Araw-araw, pinili natin na hangarin ang mas makabubuti na aabot sa mas nakakaraming Dagupeño.

Agamuran tayo ya lapud bangat na saray ateng tayo: Nu maseet, matuor tan makuli su manuoley, minabang su intiron baley.

In 2023, I have spent a lot of time listening to ordinary Dagupeños: our senior citizens, our volunteers, our small vendors, our fishermen and farmers, sick people lying in bed, many mothers and fathers, talking to them, and serving with them when we bring services to our barangays.

Believe me, they have beautiful dreams for their families and their children, but almost always, they speak of hard times, times of pain, suffering and fear.

Wala akong nakilala pa na mas masipag, mas masugid at walang kapaguran sa paglilingkod kundi ang isang Dagupeno.

Makahulugan ang lahat ng kanilang pagsisikap dahil inuuna nila ang kapakanan ng kanilang pamilya at mga mahal sa buhay.

Mula pa noong 2013, saksi na ako sa maraming sakripisyo ng maraming Dagupeño.

Ito ang nagbibigay kahulugan sa mga pangarap at mga panaginip natin para sa bayan. Mapalad tayo dahil mas maraming Dagupeño na ngayon ang gising at nagtitiwala sa ating mga paninindigan at mga gawain.

Mulat na ang mata ng mas maraming Dagupeño kung ano ang nagawang pinsala at kasamaan ng pagiging sagabal o mapagsamantala sa ating mga kahinaan.

Ano ang aral na natutunan natin mula sa taong 2023?

Inuna natin ang bayan. Pero yung iba, inuna ang humadlang.

Inuna natin gantimpalaan ang mga empleyado sa pagbibigay ng tamang benepisyo. Yung iba, inuna pa nilang pagkaitan at biguin ang pamilya ng mga empleyado na walang mai-handa noong nakaraang Pasko at Bagong Taon, na lalo pa nilang hinamak ng pilit nilang baguhin ang kuwento at pasalamatan raw sila dahil ipinagkaloob ang SRI at gratutity pay matapos ang limang buwan na paghihintay. Bagamat huli na, naiuwi na rin ito sa wakas sa kani-kanilang pamilya.

Inuna natin gawing pirmi ang trabaho ng mas maraming Dagupeño ngayon. Halos isang taon din nilang hindi inaksyunan ang pagbuo ng Personnel Selection Board. Ngayon panatag tayo sa ating mga kuwalipikadong empleyado dahil lahat sila ay piling-pili, mahusay, magaling at maaasahan.

Inuna din natin kilalanin ang husay at dedikasyon ng mga dating naglingkod sa bayan ng 20, 30 at 40 years. Para sa kabila, hindi raw ito importante maski makailan beses natin paulit-ulit na isinusumite ang badyet na paulit-ulit din nilang binasura. Pinakikinabangan na ngayon ng mga retiradong empleyado ang matagal ng inaantay na pension.

Inuna natin itaas ang benepisyo ng lahat ng mga volunteer workers. Yung iba, inupuan lamang ang ating panukala ng halos isang taon at sinadyang ipasa ang badyet na hayag at punong-puno ng pagkakamali na walang magawa mismo ang Department of Budget of Management kundi ibasura ito dahil hindi ito tugma sa guidelines, hindi wasto ang kuwenta, tinapyas ang mahahalagang obligasyon.

Hindi na nga ginamitan ng calculator, binura pa ang mga ligal na babayarin, binigyan ng zero ang benepisyo ang ating mga volunteers at mga retiradong empleyado kung saan lima na ang namatay. Sa taong 2023, tatatak sa ating alaala na hanggang records na lang ng Sanggunian ang kaya nilang burahin dahil plano nila itong ibaon sa limot, subalit hindi tayo lilimot dahil hindi na mabubura sa kasaysayan ang matinding dismaya at hinagpis ng maraming apektadong Dagupeno.

Aalalahanin natin ang taon 2023, dahil tinupad ko ang pangako ko sa taumbayan.

Inuna natin pangalagaan ang dignidad ng ating mga volunteer workers.

Itinaas natin ang sahod ng Job Order employees mula 9,000 to 12,000 at sa 2025, ito ay magiging 14,000 na.

Itinaas natin ang allowance ng Barangay Health Workers mula 1,900 to 5,900, at sa 2025, ito ay magiging 6,900 na.

Itinaas natin ang allowance ng mga BSPO mula 2,000 to 6,000; sa 2025, ito ay magiging 7,000.00 na.

Itinaas natin ang allowance ng Barangay Nutrition Scholars mula 2,000 to 6,000; sa 2025, ito ay magiging 7,000.00 na.

Itinaas natin ang allowance ng Day Care Workers mula 6,000 to 8,400; sa 2025, ito ay magiging 9,400.00 na.

Itinaas natin ang allowance ng Barangay Librarians mula 2,000 to 6,000; sa 2025, ito ay magiging 7,000.00 na.

Itinaas natin ang allowance ng Barangay Tanod mula 1,200 to 3,000.00; sa 2025, ito ay magiging 4,000.00 na.

Itinaas natin ang allowance ng Barangay Nurses mula 15,000 to 16,500; sa 2025, ito ay magiging 17,500.00 na.

Panalo din ang ating mga kawani mula sa national government. Sa taong 2025, itataas natin ang dagdag allowance ng 1,853 teachers mula 1,500 to 2,400 pesos. RTC at MTC Judges at city prosecutors, mula 12,000 to 14,000.00. Assistant Prosecutors, mula 9,500 to 12,000.00. Public Attorneys’ Office ay tatanggap na ng 10,000, simula 2025. Ang mga kawani ng PNP, BFP, BJMP at Maritime Police ay tatanggap na rin ng 800, mula 500.

Kung mapagyarian ito ngayon taon, handa na rin tayong ibigay ang anumang dagdag umento para sa lahat na mga regular employees ng lungsod kung aaprubahan ni Pangulong Marcos ang next round ng Salary Standardization increase dahil nakapagtabi na tayo ng sapat na pera dito.

UNAEN SU EKONOMIYA

Ipanunot ko su ginawa tayo nen gapo gapo manlapu nen 2013 nen inawat ko su mandato’y baley nu iner less than 500 million kalamor so income na ciudad.  We were on a net operating loss, no money to pay for electricity, no money to pay for bonuses, no money to pay for Job Order employees, no money to pay for vital services. In less than six months, we were able to turn it around with more than 3 million surplus yet we met all our obligations, paying employee job order salaries, bonuses, among others.

Fast forward to 2019, we were able to build the region’s first 1 billion economy.  Masulok lan sampluran taon nen asubok yo ac lan apabaleg tayo su ekonomiya na Dagupan.

Based on comparative statement of actual income year after year from 2013 to 2023 we posted incremental increases because of stringent financial measures, innovative financial policies, creative revenue generation, and prudent spending.  We are just halfway through the current fiscal year 2023, and we have already reached more than 1.27 billion pesos.

Our comparative actual collections on business taxes and licenses have jumped from 122 million in 2013 to more than 236 million as of June 2024. Actual market collections have reached a record high of 78 million as today, beating all odds, when we just started with 49 million back in 2013.

Our income from the use of comfort rooms used to be stellar performer with a dramatic rise from 813,000 pesos in 2013 to more than 10 million in 2019. Unfortunately, bad habits refuse to die, and this shamefully fell to 4 million during the previous administration. As of today, collections have markedly improved o more than 6 million pesos and we are expected to exceed targets before the year 2024 ends.

Our income from real property tax collections also doubled from 31 million in 2013 to 67 million in 2023, and we are expecting a robust increase now with the recent approval of President Marcos Jr.’s Real Property Valuation and Assessment Reform Act. Sa ilalim ng batas na ito, inaasahan nating mas lalaki ang ating koleksyon sa mga susunod na taon.

Our actual income from garbage fees has nearly tripled since 2013, now reaching 12 million. Gayun na lamang ang ating pagnanais na tapatan ng mahusay na serbisyo ang koleksyon ng basura sa pamamagitan ng ating Goodbye Basura program na inilunsad natin. Tatlong taon na po nating nais isara ng pirmi  ang 60-year-old dumpsite, subalit nanatiling sagabal ang iilan na ayaw aprubahan ang ating mga plano bumili ng mas malalaking truck at mas maraming kagamitan  upang isaayos ang ating basura. Clearly, this is a great disservice to our people.

Our city’s transformation over the last 10 years is the fastest and we are committed to continue maximizing the rate of economic growth with increase in meaningful services. Remember that I inherited a weak and cash-drained economy with a only 500 million. Dahil hindi tayo titigil at hindi tayo mapapagod maging masigasig sa ating mga plano at mga pangarap paghahandaan na po natin ang ating panukalang badyet na ating tinataya na aabot sa 1.525 billion mula sa pinagsama-samang national tax allotment, local sources and revenues. We are tripling our economy’s value in 2025, and with a robust economic plan we intend to pursue, build and flourish Dagupan City’s next 2 billion economy in 2030.

Hindi lang dapat lumalaki ang ating pera, dapat itong tumbasan ng mas lumalaking pag-unlad, at mas dumaraming serbisyo. At ito ang ginawa natin noong taong 2023.

UNAEN SU EDUKASYON

Walang duda, bukod tangi ang programa natin sa edukasyon para sa kabataan sa bahaging ito ng bansa. Halos 15% of kabuuang halaga ng ating 2023 annual budget ang ating inilaan para dito kumpara sa mga mas malalaki, mauunlad at mayayamang lungsod.

Mapangahas ang ating pasya na gawing prayoridad ang edukasyon dahil ito ang pinakamahusay na paraan para durugin ang ating mga takot na ang mga mahihirap na pamilya ay mananatili mahirap magpakailanman

Scholarship tops our service programs with 200 million peso budget, it is the biggest budgetary allocation for education in the entire 77 year history of Dagupan. I believe in my heart that giving our young people access to quality education is one of the most powerful catalysts of change. It breaks down barriers and levels the playing field.

Noong 2023, nabigo natin ang plano ng ilan na ibalik ito sa dating bilang na 2,500 scholars at ibasura ang mga pangarap ng dagdag na 2,500 scholars mula sa mahihirap na pamilya sa Dagupan.

Nito lamang 2024, 672 scholars na po ang natapos, 11 scholars ang mga board passers na at ang ilan ay naging topnotchers pa, habang 74 ang naghahanda sa darating na iba’t ibang licensure examinations.

Ipinagmamalaki din natin ang ating initiative na ilunsad ang pinakaunag Higher Education Institution Career Fair, kasama ang mga mahuhusay at mga premyado nating mga unibersidad at pamantasan sa buong Dagupan tulad ng University of Luzon, University of Pangasinan PHINMA, Universidad de Dagupan, PAMMA, PIMSAT, Kingfisher College, Lyceum Northwestern University at maraming mga TESDA schools sa Dagupan. Dinaluhan ito ng halos 4,000 graduating senior high school students mula sa pribado at pampublikong paaralan sa Dagupan. Tinuruan natin sila maging mapanuri sa pagpili ng tamang kurso upang mapaghandaan nila ang kanilang kinabukasan.

Masaya ko ring ibalita na malapit na rin natin simulan ang pagtatag natin ng Alternative Skills Training Center sa Dagupan para makapagbigay ng pagsasanay para makapagtrabaho ang mga kabataan sa Dagupan.

UNAEN SU ABIG LAMAN TAN NUTRISYON

Nananatiling prayoridad pa rin ng ating administrasyon ang kalusugan ng bawat Dagupeño. Patuloy tayo sa ating adhikain na mas mapalakas pa ang ating healthcare system sa hangaring mapagkalooban ng maaasahan na serbisyong medikal ang ating mga kababayan, lalo na ang mahihirap at walang ibang malalapitan. Gaano man kahirap o kalayo, pilit inaabot ng ating mga serbisyo katulong ng ating mga inaasahang allied health workers upang hatiran ng pagkalinga at paglingap ang mga may sakit, mga mahina at mga walang pantustos na pambayad sa mga mamahaling ospital.

Hinahangaan sa maraming lungsod sa bansa ang ating Home Visit program kung saan ating inaalam, sa tulong ng mga barangay nurses, ang pagtukoy sa sakit ng mga halos nakaratay na sa higaan at malayo na sa abot ng ating mga healthcare facilities. Sinisiguro na ang mga pasyente ay dinadalhan na natin ng libreng gamot para hindi na pumunta sa bayan.

 

  • Mula 2022 hanggang 2024, pinakamalawak ang abot ng ating mga medical missions hatid ng ating mga kaibigan mula sa University of Sto. Tomas at nang City Health Office (see details).

More than 3,792 children and adult served under

  • Outpatient services have reached a record high of serving more than 32,000 Dagupeños in 2023 alone.

Tayo ay may mga nasanay na mga Bakuna Champions na umiikot sa barangay para ma-enganyo ang mga magulang at mga lolo’t lola an pabakunahan ang mga bata.

Nanguguna din ang kampanya ng Dagupan laban sa pambansang kampanya ng pamahalaan na labanan ang gutom sa programa ni PBBM na nitong tinatawag na Walang Gutom. Subalit matagal na mas nauna na po tayo sa Dagupan. Ang ating nutrition program ay bantog sa pangalang Goodbye Gutom campaign na ating hatid sa lahat ng mga paaralan at mga barangays. Walang patid ang ating paghahanda at pagsuporta sa mga feeding programs sa tulong ng napakaraming organisasyon at mga samahan, at libu-libong bata ang nakinabang at patuloy na gumaganda ang kalusugan.

Our trademark Paligo programs guarantee continuing health, sanitation and hygiene of young people throughout the city. Mas dumarami na ang ating mga partners na tumutulong sa paligo ng mga batang paslit, kasabay ng pamimigay ng mga produkto pangkalusugan para sa ating mga bata, pagtuturo na ugaliing maging malinis upang makaiwas sa sakit, kasama ang kanilang mga pamilya.

UNAEN SU LABAN KONTRA BASURA

Agay lay abig ed Dagupan komon nu aga imbasura na datin administrasyon su manbili na 12 million dollars na sanka-unaan ya Waste to Energy project ya inendorso la mismo na National Solid Waste Management Commission tan say Department of Environment and Natural Resources.

Nampirdian tayo na pigaran taon ed milyon milyon ed bayar parad panolor na basura ya aga nababawasan nu ag ingen, nanbisug-bisog su bulsa na saray matatakew na kaban na baley.  Inuna da su kuwarta, ag abawasan balet su basura.

Heto po ang ating natagpuan pagbalik ko ng 2022. Today we are finding creative ways to clean our wastes and finally close our 60-year-old dumpsite. We have implemented a No Segregation, No Collection policy on our garbage through our Goodbye Basura Program as we entered into an exploratory agreement with Holcim Philippines for the processing of our plastic wastes.

We intend to finally close this facility but we need hauling trucks and other equipment. Malapit na po magtapos ang kanilang termino sa 2025, subalit silang mga inasahan ninyo sa Sanggunian, tatlong taon na po nila pinag-aaralan ang atin mungkahi pagbili ng mga truck, mga backhoe at iba. Sa loob ng tatlong taon, tatlong beses natin itong isinumite, tatlong beses na rin po nilang ibinasura na ating inaasahan sana na gagamitin para sa solusyunan ang ating basura.

Marami tayong pangarap sa ating pagsasara ng ating dumpsite. Alam kong ito rin ang pangarap natin lahat, ang makitang malinis, maayos at dinarayo na ang Bonuan. This is our dream for One Bonuan, to make it as the city’s tourism destination, and we are putting all our energies to make this happen. See the beauty and attractions we have in store for our future One Bonuan Tourism Destination!

UNAEN SU PEACE AND ORDER TAN PUBLIC SAFETY

Choosing the best place to raise a family can depend on various factors such as safety, education, healthcare, job opportunities, cost of living, and overall quality of life.

Sa Dagupan, buong pagmamalaki natin na kinikilala ang pangkalahatang kaayusan ng ating mga lansangan at mga tulay, ang ating kapayapaan sa barangay at sa buong lungsod ng Dagupan. Salamat sa Philippine National Police sa liderato ni Police Lieutenant Colonel Brendon Palisoc na dahil sa kanyang galing, kinilala rin ang Dagupan Police Station na top performing City Police Station sa buong Region 1, kay POSO chief Arvin Decano, Ronald De Guzman na CDRRMO, Melykhen Bauzon ng PARMC at kay Bureau of Fire Protection Chief Michael Escaño at ang buong puwersa na bumubuo ng kani-kanilang mga samahan, dahil magpahanggang ngayong 2024, pinipili at mas pinipili pa rin ng mas maraming tao na manirahan, mamuhunan, mag-aral, magtayo ng negosyo at bumuo ng pamilya dito sa Dagupan.

We have also intensified our campaign against illegal drugs and criminality.  Dagupan is one of the latest local government in Region 1 to put up a Balay Silangan Drug Reformation Facility.

Peace and order is essential to growth. In 2023, Dagupan continues to ride at an all-time high investor confidence as it continues to benefit from robust economic growth based on records of the One Stop Business Center. Lapud uunaen tayo su kareenan, tan kaayusan mas dakel so nanlokas na balo tan manpapatuloy iran negosyo ed ciudad tayon Dagupan. With improved peace and order, our beloved city continues to be the preferred destination of investment.

Pangunahin din ang ating mga plano para sa kahandaan ng lungsod  kapag sasapit ang natural disasters tulad ng lindol, tsunami, at iba pa. Inilunsad natin ang malawak na information and education campaign na “HANDA KA NA BA, Kaligtasan for All”. Pinagtibay din natin ang ating ugnayan sa mga eksperto sa pamahalaan gaya ng Philvolcs.

UNAEN SO DALA-DALAN, ESCUELAAN, HEALTH CARE FACILITIES TAN PABAHAY

There is no stopping our economy from continuing to surge because we have taken a b older, courageous and headstrong approach to addressing the most serious obstacles to our development. Over the last decade we remained stagnant because of the poor state of our roads, bridges, schools and other vital public facilities.

Noong 2023, mariin natinG ibinasura ang dating plano na lulutas raw sa malawakang pagbaha sa loob ng 10 taon sa pamamagitan ng pitse-pitse pagbabago. Hindi na tayo maaaring maghintay ng 10 taon! Pagod na ang buong Dagupeños sa paglusong sa baha. Nasasanay na ang mga bata mula elementary hanggang kolehiyo sa mas maraming araw ng walang pasok dahil hindi madaanan ang mga pangunahing mga lansangan. Dalawampung taon na tayong nagtitiis na nakakulong sa ating mga bahay ng mas maraming araw. Buong akala natin ay bubuti na tayo matapos ang pandemic, subalit lalong lumala dahil tuwing ulan at may pagbaha, malawakan paralisado ang ating transportasyon, limitado ang operasyon mga bangko at mga tanggapan ng gobyerno, walang tao sa mga palengke at mga shopping malls, walang kita ang mga maliliit na negosyo, mahirap abutin ang mga ospital, at kay laki ng abala sa buhay ng mas nakararaming Dagupenos sa perwisyo dala ng baha.

Nanindigan tayong mas kailangan nating gumawa ng hakbang na pinag-aralan, permanente, pang-matagalan at matapang na solusyon na hinanda ng mga pinakamagagaling sa pamahalaan. Nauunawaan po natin na may ilan ang tutol sa simula, subalit alalahanin natin muli ang mga naging karanasan nating hirap at mga sakripisyo at mga pagtitiis noon nawasak ng July 16, 1990 earthquake ang halos lahat ng mga lansangan, mga tulay, mga buildings, mga paaralan sa buong Dagupan.

Hindi madali, subalit lahat tayo ay nagtulungan, nagtiis, nagsakripisyo upang muli iahon ang buong lungsod. Katulad din noong 1990, marami na raw ang lilisan at lalayas na sa Dagupan subalit napatunayan na sa loob lamang ng ilang taon, we witnessed Dagupan’s incredible rise as the most robust economy in this part of country because we were able to build a superior, reliable infrastructure.

In 2023, we built more public infrastructures at an incredible speed than at any other time in the history of Dagupan.

Inuna at paulit-paulit natin ipinakiusap ang pangangailangan ng mga paaralan na lubog sa baha at mga tumutulong bubong.  Simula 2022, 20 paaralan ang ating ipinapatayo sa Lungsod ng Dagupan.  (list of public schools in 2022 – 6 ongoing; 2024 – 8 under supplemental budget; 2025 – proposed)

Ed sayan taon 2025, igapo tayo su pamaalagey na mamuran abong  parad sara’y mairap bilay manlalapud 4Ps, parad saray empleyado ng gobierno na anggapo ne abong, saray lumalako, tricycle drivers, sumisigay tan mairap bilay. Aya su pormisa nen Presidente Bongbong Marcos ya mamaalagey tayo na desente tan mamuran housing para saray mamairap.

Marami pang paparating na mga public service facilities sa Lungsod ng Dagupan. Malapit na po ipatayo ang isang public museum na proyekto ng ating mahal ng Congressman Toff De Venecia, ang Bernal-Edades Museum. Excited na rin po tayo dahil matapos ang ilang dekada, sisimulan na rin ang Tri-City Ferry Project na pagsasamahan ng Dagupan, Alaminos at San Fernando City matapos na itong pormal na aprubahan ng National Economic and Development Authority. Buo na rin ang ating mga plano para maisakatuparang ang iba’t ibang pasilidad sa One Bonuan Tourism Complex, kasama dyan ang ng mga skateboarding.

 UNAEN SU SOCIAL SERVICES

Our social services contribute to improving the overall quality of life. By providing access to essential resources and assistance, these services help individuals and families overcome challenges and improve their well-being.

Mula pa noong 2022, umabot sa 4481 katao ang tumanggap ng 22,212,635 pesos. Ito ay tulong pinansyal para sa medical, burial, transporation at victim compensation. 13,880 pesos naman ang kabuuan livelihood assistance.

Malaki ang ating pasasalamat sa tulong ng ating mga mabubuting kaibigan tulad nina Dating DSWD Secretary Erwin Tulfo, Senators Imee Marcos, Francis Tolentino, Abono Eskimo Estrella ng Partylist, Jinggoy Estrada, Pia at Allan Cayetano at Department of Social Welfare and Development na nakapagbigay sa ating mga solo parents, tricycle drivers, fishpen owners, fishermen,  jeepney drivers,  at mga mahihirap pa pamilya. (see list).

SUPPORT FROM SENATORS AND NATIONAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES

SENATOR TULFO – 9,000 beneficiaries

SENATOR IMEE MARCOS – 3,500 (Solo Parent & Tricycle Drivers)

SENATOR FRANCIS TOLENTINO – 600

ABONO – 2,593 (Fisherfolks & AKAP)

SENATOR JINGGOY ESTRADA – 1,500 (Jeepney Drivers)

SENATOR PIA & ALLAN CAYETANO – 1,000

SENATOR SHERWIN GATCHALIAN – 500K worth of NFA Rice (TYPHOON EGAY)

DSWD FAMILY FOOD PACK (TYPHOON EGAY) – 23,800

DSWD Emergency Cash Transfer (TYPHOON EGAY) 448 Families

Malaki rin ang ating pasasalamat dahil maraming Dagupeño rin ang naisama natin makinabang at tumanggap ng Ayuda sa Kapos ang Kita Program, o AKAP, mula kay Pangulong Bongbong Marcos, Speaker Martin Romualdez, Abono Partylist representative Eskimo Estrella at DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian.

UNAEN SO AGRIKULTURA

Dagupan is throwing its full weight to protect and defend the Bangus Industry. Ang maraming taon natin pinaghirapan para maitatag ang pangalan, kalidad at integridad ng ating kalakal at mga proseso ay mahalaga upang mabigyan ng proteksyon ang maraming mangingisda na naghahanap buhay ng marangal, malinis at patas.

Sinusubok ang ating paninindigan subalit hindi tayo padadaig. Makailan ulit po natin nilabanan ang pagtatangka ng iilan negosyante na lunurin ang ating mga palengke at pamilihan ng mga sira at nabubulok na bangus na kilala sa tawag na “tangok”. Mula 2023 hanggang nakaraang buwan, aabot sa halos 3,800 kilos ng mga nasisira at nabubulok ng isda ang ating kinumpiska sa pamilihan, / hinarang sa pagpasok pa lang sa Dagupan, at sinampahan ng kaso ang mga taong mapagsamantala.

Ang ating Dagupan bangus ang simbolo ng ating matatag ng industriya at hindi tayo papayag na dudungisan ng iilan ang orihinal na pagkakakilanlan ng Dagupan bangus bilang masarap, Sariwa, mataba, walang masangsang na amoy at mura. Habang ako ang mayor ng Dagupan, uunahin natin ang pagbigay ng proteksyon sa ating mga mamimili at sa lahat ng mga maliliit na mangingisda na umaasa sa ating industriya.

I love our fishermen and their families, and I know that many generations of their families made it possible to bring food to our tables. And so, we ensure that we provide livelihood opportunities by providing them with all the tools of the trade to make them productive.

Namigay tayo ng 50 bancas sa ating mga mangingisda at namahagi tayo ng livelihood assistance sa halos 80 oyster growers mula sa island barangays. Salamat sa ating mga kaibigan mula sa Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources at ang Department of Science a nd Technology. Maraming salamat din sa Department of Agriculture dahil sa tulong na ibinigay nilang mga discount vouchers para sa fertilizers para sa 186 farmers ng lungsod. Marami din sa kanila tumanggap ng mga certified palay seeds mula sa Department of Agriculture.

Maliket met tayon ibalita na saray barangay tayo su manunaan ya ontotolong ed saray agricultural programs, specifically ed sa may hydroponics project na ciudad.

Akalagey lan tan mambubunga la su tanem na pisi-pising ed walora lan barangay, kaiba ditan su Mamalingling, Bolosan, Caranglaan, Bacayao Sur,  Lasip Grande, Malued, Pantal, Bonuan Gueset, Bonuan Boquig tan Salapingao.

Still on its inception phase, these humble beginnings compliment our city’s food security program, and we will ensure that this is made sustainable over the years.

 UNAEN SU HISTORY, CULTURE, ARTS TAN TURISMO

Dagupan also continues to make headways in culture, arts and tourism in 2023. Our year-round community events have given more color to both our calendar and our community spirit, binding our people into remembering key events in history such as the successful staging of the MacArthur Landing. In 2023, Dagupan has firmed up its solid place in history during the historic Lingayen Gulf Landings as the exact spot where General Douglas Macarthur himself landed on our sacred shores to fulfill his promise to liberate the Philippines, following his successful campaign in Leyte.

This has been confirmed by no less than the official Macarthur Memorial archivist at The Macarthur Memorial Museum in Norfolk, Virginia through official records held by Mr. James Zobel.  We also celebrated our diverse cultural influences with the Chinese New Year celebration, the annual million-people showstopper Bangus Festival, our Pride Month celebration, the Pinablin Dagupeno Awards, our Manlingkor na Kalangweran Program, staging of the 17th Justice Zone in the Philippines, the Women’s Month celebration, the Easter event dubbed as “Abet-abet ed Olin Inbilay”,  the hugely successful year to year staging of the BIDA Run and the Barkada Run, /the Christmas and City Fiesta events such as the Paseo de Belen, Noche Buena de Belen and the nightly sectoral events, thereby establishing  Dagupan as the biggest, shiniest city in the north.

 UNAEN SO ANAPAN TAN TRABAHO

  • Nakapaghatid tulong tayo sa mas maraming Dagupeno, mula 2023 hanggang ngayon, inilatag natin ang ating career development support program para sa 9131 na kabataan mula sa 32 public and private schools sa Dagupan.
  • Nabigyan natin maayos na hanapbuhay sa pamamagitan ng Negostalls ang mga vendors sa Dagupan, at paglalaan ng mga oyster rafts para sa ating mga mangingisda sa island barangays. Sa tulong ng tanggapan ng Department of Labor and Employment, Senators Joel Villanueva, Loren Legarda, Bong Go, Pia Cayetano, Nancy Binay, Grace Poe, Jinggoy Estrada at Congressman Wilbert Lee ng Agri Partylist, aabot sa 5,067 katao mula sa hanay ng mga maliliit na manggagawa ang tumanggap ng mahigit 18 milyong piso na tulong pinansyal mula sa iba’t ibang TUPAD Programs.
  • Walang tigil ang ating isinagawang mga jobs fairs sa mga naglalakihang shopping malls at mga unibersidad sa Dagupan kung saan pinilahan ito ng mahigit 6512 aplikante para sa halos 39,000 posisyon sa inaalok na trabaho. Salamat sa pangungnuna ng ating Public Employment Service Office, marami na tayong natutulungan dahil sa ating partnerships kasama ang Department of Labor and Employment, Department of Trade and Industry, Department of Migrant Workers, TESDA at iba pang national and regional government agencies.

UNAEN SU ISPORTS

More than as a means of promoting positive social change, Dagupan has again revived its sports program following our dramatic rise as Region 1’s phenomenal and most celebrated sports leader in 2019. Slowly, we are building new cadre of sports achievers and future champions through our BTF Does it Swimming Program, our Taekwondo Program, and our Gymnastics Program.

We have invested heavily in improving our sports facilities, our equipment, support to high-caliber specialized coaches, procurement of equipment, gears and intensified our participation in various athletic meets and competitions to ensure that we provide the excellent environment for our athletes to excel and thrive. Since 2023, our children athletes has accumulated sizeable cache of awards, participating in leading competitions here and abroad, including the Batang Pinoy, the Palarong Pambansa,  local and regional athletic meet competitions.

Naging abala din ang mga kabataan sa Dagupan dahil sa ating School Break Sports Program kung saan libre silang nakatanggap ng libreng lessons sa swimming, taekwondo, table tennis at boxing sa ilalim ng mga premyadong coaches sa Region 1.

UNAEN SARAY ALAGA ED ABONG

Hindi rin natin kinalimutan pati ang mga alagang hayop na naghahatid ng tuwa at inspirasyon sa ating mga pamilya. Seryoso ang ating kampanya na pangalagaan mabuti ang ating mga kasamang hayop sa bahay kaya walang humpay ang ating pagbabakuna sa halos 13,146 na alagang aso at mga pusa sa buong Dagupan sa lahat ng mga barangay, kasama diyan ang pagbibigay ng libreng konsultasyon, check up at paggamot sa mga may-sakit  sa pamamagitan ng ating pinaigting na Saving Max program.

UNAEN SU KAGALANGAN TAN PIKISAKEY NA BALEY ED BIEC TAEW

Our city copped one of the most important feats in our 77-year history after we were named one out of nine Ivy League cities in the Philippines / among the top 1,000 global urban economies in the 2024 Global Cities Index by the Oxford Economics, lining up Dagupan among leading urban environments worldwide with New York, London, San Jose, Tokyo and Paris leading the rankings. Dagupan ranked 604th globally with its environment as our key advantage at 220th spot worldwide.

Dagupan has also been leading Philippine cities in the global campaign to support the achievement of the United Nation’s Development Goals, and we have showcased Dagupan stellar performance in key global targets such as clean environment, gender equality, sustainable tourism and forging of partnerships for the achievement of the goals. Dagupan is the current toast of Asia-Pacific local governments as we have repeatedly brought our inspiring stories to Yiwu in China, in Bangkok, Thailand, in North Minahasa in Indonesia and at the United Nations Headquarters in New York.

Aliwa labat tayon manunaan ed implementasyon na Sustainable Development Goals, bida met su baley na Dagupan ed kaaro tan kapara tayon ciudad.

Many of our amazing feats as a city were drawn from our inspiring experiences and achievements of many of our sister cities around the world.  On August 21 this year, Iwata City Mayor Hiro-aki Kusachi from the Shizouka Prefecture in Japan will come visit Dagupan as we prepare to mark the 50th golden year of our friendship as sister-cities on February 9, 2025.

Our friends from Japan has given its iron-clad commitment to help us learn from their lessons on how to deal with natural disasters, as well as share their vast and skilled experiences in the operation of vital public service facilities like public libraries, senior citizen services, music and theater, among others.

In 2023, we also marked the 20th anniversary of our sister-city relationship with Milpitas City in the United States, with a strengthened educational, cultural visit and exchange, as we have met both the former multi-term Mayor Joe Esteves and the present mayor Carmen Montano. For the last 10 years, we were able lead a lean contingent from our Manglingkor na Kalangweran that enabled at least 10 young leaders from Dagupan to learn, observe and experience American public education system, culture, arts and public service.

Kay dami nating pwede banggitin subalit hindi sapat ang panahon. Sa lahat ng pagkakataon, lagi natin aalalahanin at huwag limutin ang tapang at husay nina Vice Mayor BK Kua at ang walang takot sa pagdepensa sa ating 2023 budget ng ating mga mahal na konsehales mula sa minorya gaya ni Councilors Michael Fernandez, Dennis Canto, Jigs Seen, Lino Fernandez at dating SK federation president Joshua Bugayong.

Dahil kasama ko sila, we fought hard to make our scholarship program accessible, affordable, and fair for everyone, and today,  your taxes continue to send 5,000 young Dagupeños to college, and in matter of years, their families and their communities and our city will experience the compounding benefits of college education and acquiring gainful employment after that.

It was by God’s proverbial design that we have frustrated the evil designs and schemes that would have hindered the future of our young people in Dagupan.

Dahil inuna natin ang kapakanan ng mas maraming Dagupeno.

Sigawan man ako, tuligsahin, talikuran, paulit-ulit na itinataboy sa kanilang guni-guning munting kaharian kung saan sila daw – gamit ang kanilang mapang-api at hindi patas na mga patakaran – ay makapangyarihan,  higit pa sa taumbayan.

Tinitiis ako subalit tinitiis ko itong lahat bilang inyong lingkod bayan. Ilang beses man ako pagsarahan ng pintuan at hindi tanggapin, buong pakumbaba ako lalapit at lalapit dahil ito ay aking sinumpaang tungkulin.

Tinitiis ko ito bilang isang ina na umaasa na maipapakiusap ko ang pambili ng mga gamot sa ating mga botika, mga pampagawa ng ospital para sa mga buntis at mga bagong panganak na sanggol, gamot para sa diabetes at hypertension para sa matatanda,  pambili ng krudo para sa mga sasakyan hatid-sundo sa mga pasyente lulan ng ating mga ambulansya at mga tumatawid na bata sa mga island barangays.

Sa kabila ng pagpigil ng aking sariling pamilya, tinalikuran ko ang ginhawa ng mamuhay sa pribadong sektor at sinuong lahat ng panganib at peligro, / lumusong sa baha,tumuntong sa daan gawa sa kawayan, haplusin ang mga may sakit at mga naulila, pinakinggan ko ang hikbi ng mga may kapansan, hinaing ng mga inabuso, ng mga walang trabaho  ng mga walang sapat na kita, mga walang pantustos sa kolehiyo sa kanilang anak.

Tuwing umaga, inaaalala ko ang mga hamon ng hinaharap ng bawat Dagupeno at mga magagandang pangarap para sa kanyang sarili at kanyang pamilya. Alam ko ako’y nasa tamang lugar at nasa tamang panahon.

Pipiliin at pipiliin ko tumayo, humarap at maglingkod hanggang nais niyo.

Hamakin man ako, pipiliin at pipiliin ko maging mas mabuting Dagupeno.

Ang mabuting Dagupeno ay may pagmamahal sa pamilya, sa barangay, sa mga paaralan, pampublikong pasilidad para sa kalusugan, sa pangangailang ng mga kabataan, mga senior citizens, sa mga nanay at tatay, mga walang kakayahang solo parents at people with disabilities, mga walang hanapbuhay.

Huwag sana nilang samantalahin ang ating mga kahinaan. Ibigay ang kaukulang tulong at serbisyo sa takdang oras. Isantabi ang galit o poot sa puso.

Pilit kong inaabot ang aking kamay ng pakikipag-usap at pakikipag-kaisa. Ilang beses ako naglaan ng panahon ng pagpupulong. Ilang beses ako nagtungo mismo sa kanilang tanggapan para makipag-usap ng bukas at malaya subalit sila ay nagbingi-bingihan at ayaw makipag usap.

Walang puwang ang pamumulitika sa paglilingkod sa bayan dahil wala itong iniisip kundi ang pansariling interes, palaging palaban, ang makapaglinlang,  at bigyan-pansin ang mga walang kwentang bagay.

Sa kapuwa ko Dagupeno, hinog na ang panahon para muli natin bawiin ang poder ng katinuan, kaayusan, katapatan  at dignidad sa paglilingkod.

Ngayon ang tamang panahon upang hawak-kamay tayong mangarap muli na ipagpatuloy ang pagbabago na marapat lang natin matamasa bilang isang maunlad na Lungsod.

Hinihingi ng panahon na lagi tayong mauna na mahalin ang bayan. Hinihingi na mas laliman pa natin ang ating mga sakripisyo at mga pagtitiis. Kailangan natin ang buong lakas at tapang at pagsisiyasat sa ating sarili.

Kung nais natin ipagpatuloy ang mga biyaya tinatamasa ng ating lungsod,  suklian natin ito ng higit pang pagmamahal at pagtitiis. Lagi nating unahin ang bayan. UNAEN TAYO SU BALEY.

Hindi nangangahulugan hindi na tayo magtatalo sa mga napapanahong usapin at mga plano sa pamamahal subalit gawin natin ito bilang magkakaibigan at bilang pamilya na binibigkis ng mas malawak at mahalagang layunin. Sa maayos na paguusap ito makakamit, at makahanap tayo ng mapagkakaisahan kasunduan upang malampasan natin ang mga hamon ating hinaharap.

Sa ating pagtatapos, lagi po natin tatandaan na lahat ng ating mga nagawa at naisakatuparan at napagtagumpayan, lagi natin lakipan ng panalangin ang lahat ng ating mga hiling, mga plano at mga pangarap.

Sa ating pagnanais maging magaling, huwag natin kalimutan magpasalamat sa ang Diyos sa lahat ng bagay, sa lahat ng panahon, dahil ibibigay at ibibigay Niya ang ano man nais ng ating puso.

Sa taon 2024, pipilitin natin maging mas mabuti. Samahan ninyo ako na unahing lutasin ang problema sa basura. Unahin natin ang gutom at kalusugan. Unahin natin ang maipatayo ang Mother and Child Hospital. Unahin natin ang mga Super Family Health Centers. Unahin natin makapagbigay na mas maraming trabaho. Unahin natin ang ating Pamilya. Unahin natin maging mabuting Dagupeno.

Patuloy tayon ilaban su baley, aroen su baley, unaen so baley.

77th Agew na Dagupan: Pamagalang ed Pamilya

Today we commemorate the 77th Founding Anniversary of Dagupan City.

On this day, the last speaker of the Commonwealth of the Philippines and first duly elected House Speaker of the 1st Congress of the Philippines, then Speaker Eugenio Perez Sr. authored Republic Act 170 or the City Charter of Dagupan which then President Manuel Roxas signed into law on June 20, 1947 that converted Dagupan into a city.

There is so much to say, but I would rather ask everyone here to look around, and you would know what our coming together here means.

There is a saying, “if you want to go fast, go alone. But if you want to go far, go together. “

Sa Dagupan, araw araw kong pinipili ang makasama at paglingkuran ang pamilyang Dagupeño. Our identity as a city is found in community, in every family, as is our sense of peace and hope.

For all of us, no matter the shape of our families, you can expect a compassionate leadership that is intentional, inclusive, and conscientious.  Hindi lang ngayon ninyo matutunghayan kundi araw-araw niyong masasaksihan na nakatutok ang buong puwersa ng Dagupan — ang ating mga Barangay officials, mga barangay volunteers, ang ating mga doktor at nurses, ang mga kawani ng gobyerno, sa paglilingkod sa bawat pamilya, anuman ang hugis o anyo nito — at kasama diyan ang mga pamilyang itinataguyod ng mga mahihirap, ng mga single parents, ng mga LGBTQ, mga walang hanap buhay, mga pamilyang naghihikahos at walang kakayahan mapag-aral ang kanilang mga anak sa kolehiyo, mga pamilyang kapos sa pera na malapatan ng mabisang gamot at mabigyan ng libreng pagsusuri.

Today, we offer under one roof, as many services we can give for every family. You have always depended on the city government to do this because we are a people who value results over excuses.

Marami nang pagbabago ang naisagawa mula noong ako ay unang makapaglingkod bilang inyong mayor noong 2013.  Hindi lang natin hinangad na makapaglingkod sa bawat pamilya, kundi hangad din po nating makiisa sa puso ng bawat Dagupeño.

Namumuhunan tayo sa tagumpay ng mga pangarap at mga panaginip ng bawat pamilya. In Dagupan, we support the dreams of every family, including the dream of every child who deserves to experience life in all its fullness, and this includes the right to early childhood development and pre-primary support and literacy, to free public education. We are committed to make sure that our people are provided with the proper services.

In Dagupan, we highly value the happiness and welfare of families because we are partners. Sa paglipas ng halos 77 years mula ng tayo ay hinirang bilang isang malaya at maunlad na lungsod, pinakamakahulugan ang ating mga serbisyo na hinahatid sa bawat pamilyang Dagupeños, because we always underscore the significance of the gift of families as the mightiest symbol of Dagupan’s strength and progress.

As your city mayor, you will expect that we shall always be at the forefront of strengthening and supporting families to nurture, protect, educate, and equip children for a dynamic, challenging, and ever-changing world. We will strengthen social and health programs for our youth, women and children, for senior citizens, for differently abled people, for those who are unemployed, for those who struggling to keep their communities clean and safe.

Sa ating pagsasama-sama ngayon, lagi nating aalalahanin na walang makapipigil at walang makabibigo sa ating hangarin na hatiran ng paglilingkod ang bawat pamilyang Dagupeño, because we will ensure that Dagupan shall always be livable for people of all ages, for every member of the family, because our prosperity in the long term depends on it. Families are worth prioritizing because we are particularly invested in the success of our communities.

Perhaps the best indication of a thriving city is the desire of ordinary people to raise their families within it.  Today, thousands of families of 178,000 Dagupenos have chosen to call our city their home because we bring to them, straight to their doors, to their bedside, all the services they rightfully deserve. We are doing all of these because if we are to remain strong into the future, families should have a great city to call home, and Dagupan should have loving families to call residents.

As we gather here to honor this important moment in our history, let us not forget the hardship and the dedication and commitment of our forefathers. Let me take this opportunity to remind my fellow public servants —- our elected officials, my fellow workers in government, to always commit their services with love, so we can properly deliver the needs of our people.

Through our local history and shared experiences, we have always assured ourselves that no matter how uncertain the future remains, we know that our strong sense of solidarity and cooperation will always lead us to greater feats.

Sa Dagupan, heto na po ang bagong marka ng isang mapagkalinga na pamahalaan. Isang pamahalaan na may pagdamay sa kung ano ang pinakamahalaga at pinakamatimbang sa puso ng bawat Dagupeno: ang alagaan at mahalin ang kanyang pamilya.

Sa harap ng maraming hamon at pagsubok, pangungutya at pambabastos ng iilang taong walang pagpapahalaga sa ating mga gawain, hindi tayo matitinag.

Bago ang pumutok ang araw, palagi ko inilalapit sa Panginoong Diyos na lagi akong turuan na makapaglingkod ng tama, maayos at mahusay.

Panalangin ko lagi sa Panginoon na mabigyan tayo ng sapat na lakas, ng matatag na puso na hindi pinanghihinaan.

Panalangin ko na hindi lamang tayo gabayan na maging magaling sa lahat ng bagay, panalangin ko rin mabigyan tayo lagi ng isang mabuting puso.

Mabuting puso ang dalangin ko, dahil ito po lamang ang aking maibibigay ng buo sa bawat pamilyang Dagupeno: isang pusong tapat sa paglilingkod.

Dahil kapag ang isang lider at isang pamahalaan ay naglilingkod ng tapat, makikinabang ang lahat.

Maraming salamat po at Maligayang Agew na Dagupan!

Mayor Belen’s Speech during the 77th Agew na Dagupan
