Urdaneta, Pangasinan
02 May 2013

In his visit in the province of Pangasinan, President Benigno S. Aquino III met with the local leaders and residents of Urdaneta City. With only a few days left before the national elections, he encouraged the Pangasinenses to vote on leaders who will nurture the opportunities opened in their province.

During his speech, President Aquino referred to some of the government services being made available in the city and its surrounding communities. Among them are the establishment of the Urdaneta Agri-Pinoy Trading Center for this year, the launching of the Improved Agno River Flood Forecasting and Warning System last 2011, and the opening of the Emergency Room Complex of the Region 1 Medical Center last March.

“Ang lahat ng tagumpay at pagkilalang ito ay hindi ginawa ng isang tao lang o ng iisang institusyon ng gobyerno. Naabot natin ito dahil sa pakikiisa ng ating mga Boss, ang mga Pangasinense, ang sambayanang Pilipino, na ginawang posible ang pagbabago,” he said.

Former Senate President Franklin Drilon joined the President during the event.
