'''Pangasinan town mayor donates 6-month salary to employees'''.<br>
'''P300M OK’d for construction of Pagudpud viaduct 2'''.<br>
CALASIAO, Pangasinan – The mayor of this town has donated her six months worth of salary to provide rice assistance to all the municipal employees. On her Facebook page on Thursday, Mamilyn Agustin Caramat said this is her gift to the hardworking employees. Each of the 680 employees will receive a sack of 50 kilos of rice. Of the total number of employees, 285 are job order workers, 184 are casual employees, 199 are regular employees and 12 elected officials. “All of the employees will receive a sack of rice before Christmas,” Caramat said.
LAOAG CITY – The construction of a second viaduct in Pagudpud town will start this year after the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) assured at least PHP300 million in initial funding. Ilocos Norte First District Representative Ferdinand Alexander Marcos confirmed this on Tuesday, saying the second viaduct would prevent frequent road closures along the Manila North Road in Barangay Pancian brought by landslides and rockslides from bad weather. But unlike the first Pagudpud viaduct, Marcos said the next viaduct will have a more modern structural design with the help of a Japanese consultant who has expertise in building viaducts.
