Espino urges the public to create better towns

LINGAYEN, Pangasinan - - Governor Amado T. Espino, Jr.  has called on the people to join efforts with the national and local governments as well as the civil society and the private sector for the creation of better towns.
 
The Governor made the call in line with the local celebration of the World Habitat Day held last October 4 during the Flag raising ceremony at the Capitol Plaza here.
 
It will be recalled that quality and affordable housing is one of the priority projects of the Espino Administration.
 
Engr. Alvin Bigay, Provincial Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council Chief, said,   “Ang pabahay ay isa sa mga priority projects ng ating Gobernador Espino. Itinutuon po natin ang ating housing agenda sa pag-identify sa mga lugar na angkop at ligtas sa housing development, ang paghihikayat sa mga investors na mamumuhunan sa pabahay at ang pagpapalakas ng public at private partnership upang matugunan ang kakulangan sa pabahay dito sa ating lalawigan.”
 
 According to Engr. Bigay, the celebration of the World Habitat Day is to depict the towns and cities with its development and emphasizes the importance of each citizen of his right to have his own shelter, one of the basic needs of man.
 
With this development, the United Nations has designated the first Monday of October each year as World Habitat Day and declaring October through Proclamation 662 as the “National Shelter Month” with a theme of “Gaganda ang Buhay sa Sariling Bahay”.
 
Engr.  Bigay, added that, as the world grows predominantly urban, we should remember that creating better towns and cities demands an eco-friendly environment and balance development.
 
“Sa pagdiriwang ng World Habitat Day, sama-sama po nating pagbutihin ang ating mga bayan, lungsod at kapaligiran para sa kinabukasan nating lahat,” he added. (PIO)
