2 HEPE NG PULIS BSL cites hallmark of great citizenry

SINIBAK
P .1 Ang mga nabangit sa mga opisyales ng pulis ay sina Police Senior Inspectors Allan Joy Suratos ng bayan ng Alcala at Roger Digmayo ng Sto. Tomas. Pasado ala-una ng hapon noong Hunyo 10, taon kasalukuyan ng nagsagawa ng pagsalakay ang ilang miyembro ng Liaison Office ng DILG na nakabase sa Kampo Crame sa pamilihang bayan ng Alcala at dito nahuli nila ang dalawang kabo na kinilalang sina Larry Martinez at Carlito De Vera, pawang nasa tamang taon at naninirahan sa bayan ng Sto. Tomas. Bagamat hindi naaktuhan ng nabangit na ahensiya ng gobyerno ang bolahan ng jueteng, ay nakuha sa mga suspek ang P600.00 bet money, papelitos at dalawang ballpen. Ang Pangasinan Provincial Police Office ay tumanggi munang magbigay ng pahayag at wala pa rin silang natatangap na pormal na kautusan para sibakin ang dalawang pulis opisyal. (Teody Edades Macatbag)

Dagupan City Addressing the 65th Agew na Dagupan celebration last June 20, Mayor Benjamin S. Lim said that the hallmark of a great citizenry lies in looking beyond our differences and, together, willingly take part to overcome the challenges. Lim also expressed elation over the unshaken faith displayed by Dagupeos who marched with him in the early Thursday mornings Solidarity Parade which pushed through despite a heavy downpour. The Agew na Dagupan was culminated by the awards night for seven outstanding Dagupeos at the Peoples Astrodome here. Describing the awardees as the embodiment of true generosity, he said they helped others while seeking nothing in return, neither credit, media exposure nor accolades, but a genuine desire to help, nothing more nothing less. It is an honor to be in the presence of this years Outstanding Dagupeo awardees for they have devoted so much of their own lives to our fellow Dagupeos, Lim said He said the awardees have in many ways and in their respective fields touched the lives of hundreds, if not thousands, of fellow Dagupeos, adding that the spirit of our citys battle cry, that our city is our shared responsibility, is alive in each one of them; and to those who have gone to the great beyond, in the legacies they have left behind.. Its wonderful to be a Dagupeo, he stressed. Joined by over a thousand participants composed of city hall employees, DepEd officials, barangay leaders, religious groups and students and other civic organizations, Lim said that When we started marching, it seemed that the weather would cooperate. But as we reached M.H. del Pilar Street, it began to drizzle until it rained hard. To my surprise, the heavy rains did not bother any of the participants. In fact, the participants started to enjoy the rain with or without umbrellas. It would seem that during our solidarity march, all of us chose an attitude that nothing was going to rain on our parade. This is the kind of attitude that I personally

would like to see manifested in every single Dagupeo, an attitude which can make a difference, that we can not only change things, but we can achieve great things, he added. When we were hit by a massive earthquake in 1990, that should have been the last straw that broke the camels back. But it did not. It would take more than typhoons and earthquakes to sink the spirit of the Dagupeo, and that resiliency is something we should be proud of, Lim said. Throughout our history, change has often come slowly. Progress often takes time. We take a step forward; sometimes we take two steps back. Sometimes we get two steps forward and one step back. But its never a straight line. He said Its never easy. And I never promised easy. Easy has never been promised to us. But for us long as we have faith in each other, I can promise you that we will get there., We will be able to give every public school student a chance to graduate...give those living below the poverty line a chance at gainful employment... and transform our city as one of the best tourism destinations in the North, he pointed out. The key to rise above the challenges of our time is to unite behind the great people of our city who simply want one thing: a better future for the next generation. It is never too late for unity and reconciliation, said Lim. The awardees.
