LINGAYEN, Pangasinan -- Governor Amado Espino III on Wednesday led the blessing and inauguration of the newly-constructed PHP2.5 million building hosting three units of nine food stalls near the Pasalubong Center at the provincial capitol compound.

The project is for small vendors eyeing to avail of a conducive place to sell their goods.

General Services Officer Evan Gladish P. Domalanta said the vendors who used to occupy ambulant stalls in the area would be given priority at a minimal monthly rental fee.

Meanwhile, Governor Espino said to make the place cozier more stalls and fixtures would improve the ambiance and transform the area as a picnic grove for families and beachgoers.

Aside from the newly-built food stall building, two more buildings are to be constructed. These are "Abong na Dayew" (Hall of Fame) and Pangasinan Training and Development Center (PTDC) II.

The Hall of Fame building will be funded by the PHP4 million cash incentive from the Department of Interior and Local Government Performance Challenge Fund won by the province as recipient of the Seal of Local Good Governance.

The other building to be built will be funded by PHP3.4 million fund from the provincial government.

The first will house the awards and recognition received by the province since the administration of former Governor Amado Espino Jr, now 5th district Representative.

On the ther hand, PTDC II building, which will be bigger than the old PTDC but smaller than the Sison Auditorium, will serve as venue for larger conventions and gatherings.

Present during the blessing and inauguration of food stalls are Provincial Administrator Nimrod Camba and some department heads.
