LINGAYEN, Pangasinan, Dec. 2 (PNA) -- The provincial board headed by Vice Governor Jose Ferdinand Calimlim on Friday approved the budget of the provincial government for 2017 in the amount of P3,422,249,257.

This was passed following the certification of the local finance committee that the budget of P3,422,249,257 is realizable.

The 2017 budget consisted of local sources, e.g. tax revenue of P103,700,000; Non-tax revenue of P356,070,000; and External sources of P2,962,479,257.

The budget was approved after a series of public hearings conducted by the provincial board with all department heads of the provincial government and heads of 14 provincial government-run hospitals.

This is the first provincial budget approved under the administration of Gov. Amado "Pogi" Espino III.

Espino took over the reins of the provincial government from his father and namesake former Governor Amado Espino Jr., now congressman of the fifth district of Pangasinan.
