ECONOMIC, SOCIAL GAINS HEADLINE DAGUPAN SOCA

Major gains in governance, the economy, infrastructure, education, healthcare, employment, and public safety took center stage during the 2026 State of the City Address (SOCA) held on June 30 at the Jimmy L. Fernandez Center (CSI Stadia).

Mayor Belen T. Fernandez, carrying the theme “Dagupan, Handa at Matatag,” underscored that accountable governance, public trust, and sustained investments have fueled the city’s continued growth and improved the quality of life of Dagupeños.

“Good governance creates public trust. Public trust attracts investment. Investment strengthens the economy. A stronger economy builds the roads, schools, hospitals, and public spaces our people deserve. And those investments create something even more important, a better quality of life for every Dagupeno,” Fernandez said.

The mayor reported that Dagupan’s financial capacity for Fiscal Year 2027 has reached ₱2.086 billion, alongside a ₱32.8-million increase in locally generated revenues from business permits, miscellaneous fees, community tax, and real property tax collections.

Fernandez also highlighted the completion of more than 207 infrastructure projects, including roads, school buildings, flood mitigation works, and government facilities. She likewise acknowledged the national government’s support for the city’s 12 ongoing infrastructure projects.

Education remained one of the administration’s key priorities, with the mayor reporting that the city’s ₱228.5-million scholarship program now supports 11,140 scholars, up from 9,328 beneficiaries in 2025, reflecting the local government’s continued investment in expanding access to quality education.

In healthcare, Fernandez said the city recorded a 112.26% increase in healthcare services. She also cited the accomplishments of the Teen Center, which, together with its partner offices and partner agencies, has reached nearly 30,000 young people through SAFEnet (Secure and Abuse-Free Environment), the city’s flagship youth protection program.

The mayor likewise underscored the city’s social protection initiatives, saying assistance for vulnerable sectors remains a priority. She also reported that more than 33,700 Dagupeños have been provided with employment opportunities through various job generation and employment programs over the past four years.

On public safety, Fernandez highlighted the city’s Road Safety Campaign, continuous disaster preparedness initiatives, and strengthened partnership with the Dagupan City Police Office in maintaining peace and order.

Closing her address, Fernandez thanked the Sangguniang Panlungsod, led by Vice Mayor Dean Bryan “BK” Kua, for passing more than 600 ordinances and resolutions, as well as the city’s workforce for their unwavering dedication to public service.

She emphasized that Dagupan’s achievements are the result of unity, collaboration, and the collective commitment of everyone working toward the city’s continued progress.

60 YOUNG LEADERS SWORN IN AS MYK 2026 OFFICIALS

Sixty (60) student leaders officially took their oath as members of the Manlingkor Ya Kalangweran (MYK) 2026 on Monday, June 15, marking the start of a week-long leadership immersion program of the Dagupan City Government in partnership with the Department of Education (DepEd).

The oath-taking ceremony was held at the Dagupan City Plaza, where the student leaders from public and private schools formally assumed their roles as counterparts of city officials and department heads. From June 15 to 22, they will gain firsthand experience in governance, leadership, and public service.

Dagupan City National High School (DCNHS) secured the majority of seats in the MYK executive council, with Alessandra Bela G. Dailey elected as Young City Mayor and Cherrie Faith O. Llamas as Young City Vice Mayor.

DCNHS also produced four young councilors: Christian Karl D. De Guzman, Micko Florando N. San Agustin III, Jeremy Calderon, and Quinn Samantha Balagtas.

Mayor Belen T. Fernandez administered the oath of office and underscored the importance of the program in developing future leaders while fostering collaboration between the youth and local government.

“For one week, they will be working as public servants just like us, so we make sure we mentor and train them through our practice of good governance. Good governance means transparency, compassion, accountability, and humility,” Fernandez said.

She encouraged the young leaders to make the most of the opportunity by immersing themselves in public service and sharing fresh ideas that could help improve city programs and services.

Before their appointment, the students underwent a series of leadership trainings, interviews, and elections conducted from June 12 to 14 at the Division Training Center to ensure a fair and thorough selection process.

The Manlingkor Ya Kalangweran program serves as Dagupan City’s youth leadership development initiative, providing students with practical exposure to governance and civic responsibility while preparing them for future roles in public service.

LOLA CARES PROGRAM SUPPORTS GRANDMOTHERS RAISING THEIR ‘APOS’ IN DAGUPAN

The Dagupan City Government officially launched “LOLA CARES, WE CARE,” a community based program dedicated to supporting grandmothers raising and caring for their apos while their children work abroad to provide a better future for their families.

The program recognizes the sacrifices of many lolas who serve as second parents inside their homes, providing daily care, guidance, and emotional support to their grandchildren.

Through LOLA CARES, participating grandmothers received access to health services, mental health support, education assistance, free check ups, and registration under PhilHealth, YAKAP, and GAMOT Programs to help strengthen their protection and well being.

Free haircuts for both lolas and apos, free Sustagen, select condiments, Lipton Tea products, and emergency hotline information were also provided during the activity.

A total of 350 grandmothers together with their apos officially registered under the LOLA CARES Program.

Mayor Belen T. Fernandez said the initiative reflects the city government’s continuing commitment to recognizing and supporting grandparents who help keep families together despite the challenges brought by overseas work arrangements.

“Our lolas carry a very important responsibility inside the home. Many of them quietly dedicate their love, strength, and care to raising their grandchildren while the parents are away working for the family’s future. Through LOLA CARES, we want them to feel that they are valued, appreciated, protected, and cared for,” Mayor Fernandez said.

The LOLA CARES Program forms part of the city government’s continuing efforts to strengthen family centered welfare programs and provide greater support for vulnerable sectors in Dagupan City.

DILG GIVES DAGUPAN CITY A PERFECT 100% ‘IDEAL’ RATING FOR CHILD PROTECTION! 

I am very proud to share with everyone that our city has officially received a PERFECT 100% score and the highest “IDEAL” rating in the 2026 Local Council for the Protection of Children (LCPC) Functionality Audit conducted by the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Region 1.

This means so much to all of us because it shows that the care, protection, and support we continue to give our children are truly being felt in our communities, schools, barangays, and homes.

Our LCPC’s recognition reflects the hard work, dedication, and genuine concern of the people and departments who continue working every day to keep our children safe, protected, heard, and cared for.

One of our strongest initiatives is SAFEnet or Secure and Abuse Free Environment, which continues to strengthen our campaign against bullying, abuse, violence, and mental health related concerns involving children and families. Together with our schools, barangays, parents, youth organizations, health workers, law enforcement agencies, and partner institutions, we continue building safer and more supportive communities for every young Dagupeño.

Our investments in education through “Unaen Su Edukasyon,” expanded health and nutrition programs, youth leadership initiatives, and community based protection programs also played an important role in achieving this recognition.

My heartfelt gratitude to our Vice Mayor Bryan Kua and the New Majority Councilors, City Legal Officer Atty. Aurora Valle, City Social Welfare and Development Office, City Health Office, Teen Center, PNP Dagupan Police Office, DepEd, barangays, SAFEnet partners, youth organizations, partner agencies, volunteers, every department, and every unsung hero who helped make this possible.

This recognition belongs to every Dagupeño who continues to stand with us in protecting the lives, welfare, and future of our children.

We will continue protecting, supporting, and standing up for every young Dagupeño.

-Mayor Belen T. Fernandez

IKA-APAT NA “LECHONAN ED BARANGAY,” UMARANGKADA SA LASIP CHICO

Ipinagdiwang ng lungsod ng Dagupan ang ika-apat na “Lechonan ed Barangay” sa Barangay Lasip Chico noong Mayo 2, kaugnay ng taunang selebrasyon ng kanilang ipinagmamalaking lechon bilang pangunahing produkto ng barangay.

Sa pangunguna ng barangay council sa pamumuno ni Punong Barangay Aldwin Dexter Meneses, katuwang ang SK council ng barangay sa pamumuno ni SK Chairwoman Jenica Venice Ang, matagumpay na naisagawa ang aktibidad kung saan inihaw ang 22 lechon na pinagsaluhan ng mga residente at bisita.

Nakisaya at nagbigay-suporta rin sa programa sina Mayor Belen Fernandez kasama sina Vice Mayor BK Kua, Councilors Michael Fernandez, Atty. Joey Tamayo, Tala Paras, Engr. Karlos Reyna IV, Danee Canto, at Lino Fernandez, SP Secretary Ryan Ravanzo, DCPO City Director Arnold Solomon, at ilang local content creators.

Ayon kay Mayor Belen, kahit nakapunta na siya sa iba’t ibang lugar na naghahanda ng lechon, wala pa ring makakatapat sa lechon ng Lasip Chico na patuloy na binabalik-balikan dahil sa kakaibang sarap, linamnam, at kalidad nito.

Opisyal nang kinilala bilang “Lechon Capital” ng Dagupan City ang Barangay Lasip Chico sa pamamagitan ng City Ordinance 2297-2024, bilang tahanan ng mga pinakamahusay na lechonero sa lungsod.
