Gov. Espino Tells Pangasinenses to Feel Good Again

Lingayen --- “Let us start again and rebuild our institution.”

This was said by Governor Amado T. Espino Jr. during the regular flag-raising ceremony of the provincial government on May 21 as he expressed gratitude over the unwavering support, fervent prayers and trust given to him by Pangasinenses.

Feeling elated with the turn-out of the May 13 elections after warding off series of dirty political schemes of his opponent, Gov. Espino encouraged capitol employees to start again, restructure the institution and feel good again.

“Alam ko na naramdaman niyo kung anung hirap ang dinaanan ko o dinaanan natin, dahil alam ko nakidamay halos lahat kayo sa akin,” Gov. Espino added.

The Governor vowed to continue what his administration has started since 2007 with the able leadership of Provincial Administrator Rafael Baraan and the Provincial Board led by Vice Governor Jose Ferdinand Calimlim Jr. 

Expressing gratitude over his re-election, Vice Gov. Calimlim urged the employees of the provincial government “to work together for a more fruitful and better service for the province of Pangasinan.”

“Nang dahil sa inyo muling nahalal at nabigyan ng panibagong mandato at tiwala ang Espino administration,” he averred.

He said the provincial board will always be supportive to the programs and initiatives of the present administration geared towards the betterment of Pangasinenses in the next three years.

Reelected Gov. Espino who edged out his rival, outgoing Alaminos City Mayor Hernani Braganza with 554,000 vote margin, will continue the mandate of Governorship on July 1 on his third and last term.

Meanwhile, Provincial Veterinarian Eric Jose Perez invited the provincial employees to attend the Poultry and Livestock Expo sponsored by Pilmico at the Provincial Training and Development Center (PTDC) on May 23-24.

On behalf of Human Resources Management and Development Officer Janette Asis, Louie Ocampo reported that the Capitol Employees Wellness Program has been institutionalized by the provincial board.

“We will enjoy the services of our wellness programs in the years to come,” he said.

Consequently, the inauguration of the Capitol Employees Wellness Center at the Narciso Ramos Sports and Civic Center was held after the flag-raising ceremony.
