BANI PANGASINAN -- President Aquino said Pangasinan will definitely get enough support from the national government notwithstanding political affiliations among the top leaders.
The Chief Executive clarified he had no problems with Gov. Amado T. Espino, Jr. so that he would give support to projects that redound to the benefit of the people. “Tulad ng project na ito, napaka-efficient,” he said referring to the Core Shelter project which he inaugurated Tuesday in sitio Olanen, Dacap Sur in this town.
The project pushed thru because of the full cooperation and support among the concerned agencies - municipal government, Department of Social Welfare and Development, United Nations World Food Programme and the beneficiaries.
“Wala akong problema kay Governor Espino,” he said in reply to a question during a press conference if the province would still get its fair share of projects from the national government considering that the governor belongs to another party.

Chess tourney to become regular sports event of Pangasinan
LINGAYEN --- Chess tournaments will soon be a regular sports activity of the provincial government next year.
This was announced by Gov. Amado T. Espino, Jr. following the overwhelming success of the 1st Pangasinan Chess Festival which reeled off last November 24 to 27 at the Provincial Library here.
The Governor said the chess tournaments will be conducted twice a year, one in summer and another in December, to harness the potentials of young woodpushers in the province.
Furthermore, Gov. Espino said the province will look into the possibility of organizing regular chess clinics every weekend that will serve as a training ground for Pangasinan players and possibly produce future grandmasters.
The tournament has gathered some 150 chess players from various parts of Pangasinan and played the 7-round Swiss system.
