Dagupan and Urdaneta Cities, and Pangasinan Province - Compiled Threads

[JAMAICUS]

I don't believe there is a Pangasinan thread here in SSC. So, this Pangasinan thread is dedicated for all of the Pangalatoks(is the spelling correct?)... post away pics from Dagupan, Lingayen, the 100 islands or anything about Pangasinan! Though this province is part of The Ilocos Region, I think it has its own culture, sceneries, and feel... so post away

[Sinjin P.]

This booming province definitely deserves its own thread

Paano ang Lingayen? It's the capitol right? Will it ever become a city?

[tyronne]

a native of pangasinan province here! i came from the eastern part so i speak ilocano, not pangasinan (although my dad is half ilocano, half pangasinan).

anyway, i think there's not many of us here who are based in pangasinan that's why we don't get that much of updates from this most populated province in the country.

if you're looking for nice beaches and nice resorts, i heard they're in Bolinao, Pangasinan. not a lot of people know them i guess and i haven't been there myself.

there are 4 cities in the province, Dagupan, Urdaneta, Alaminos and San Carlos.

For the second consecutive time, WOWOWEE in Lingayen was postponed and again, a natural calamity occurred on the supposed date of presentation itself, this time more destructive than the first!
May 15, 2008---Stage of Wowowee under construction at the Capitol Beach Area

May 16, 2008---The stage almost ready for the live show for May 17

Because of Typhoon Signal #2, Wowowee was postponed but this did not stop our poultry boys and their families try the Lingayen Beach! Despite the inclement weather swimming pushed through:

By 4:00PM of May 17, everybody packed up. Not knowing that a super-typhoon never before felt in Lingayen will strike. This morning (May 19), I returned to Lingayen and along the way, from Mangatarem to Lingayen, the devastation was beyond compare:
Mangatarem: Many trees uprooted

Aguilar:Most houses do not have roofs

Same in Bugallon:


GI sheets on top of electrical cables

fishpens destroyed:

40 hours after the storm, the national road was still like this

shoulders eroded

typical road scenery(?) from Mangatarem to Lingayen (my final destination)

There used to be 2 cottages here owned by my uncle

Spitfire Bar and Grille's newly constructed function room totally devastated

Mine is next, and here it is now:

only 2 cottages left standing out of 7!!!

one cottage was swept away 50 meters from its original location

even the Narciso Ramos Sports and Civic Center was not spared

my neighbors with the Narciso Ramos Gym at the background

Maramba Boulevard became a boulevard of broken dreams!

Lingayen Poblacion's residential area!

The only good thing that happened: Bangus now sells at P50.00 per kilo at the expense of the fishpen operators!!!

'Cosme' death toll reaches 12
http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/storypage...StoryId=118732

Twelve people were killed across Northern and Central Luzon after Tropical Storm Cosme (international codename Halong) battered the country over the weekend, officials and reports said Monday.

Anthony Golez, deputy chief of the National Disaster Coordinating Council, said the number of casualties and the extent of the damage are expected to surge as reports from the field come in.

As of 6 a.m. Monday, a total of 6,700 families were displaced by the storm, he said.

The fatalities in Pangasinan were identified as Lourdes Soriano and Cesario Basi from Bugallon; George Pascua from San Fabian; Miguel Poserio, Randyl Poserio and Rodyl Poserio from Dagupan City; Carlito Maganes from Mangaldan; Marcos Quinto from Urdaneta; Elpidio Maoile from Infanta; Nicadio Ferrer from Lingayen; and Rogelio Austria from San Carlos City.

The number of casualties in Pangasinan may go up as two children who were reported missing at the height of the onslaught still remained unaccounted for, officials said

The children are feared to have drowned in Dagupan.

More than half of Pangasinan’s towns, cities and municipalities have been destroyed by the storm. A substation of National Transmission Corporation (Transco) and electricity posts were severely damaged, cutting power supply in the entire province.

Damage to crops was initially estimated at P168 million.

Typhoon damage to go up

Disaster officials said their assessment of the extent of the damage and casualties are slowed down by debris and uprooted trees that are blocking their way to the affected areas.

Pangasinan Gov. Amado Espino Jr. said it would take more than two months to fully restore power and repair the damaged infrastructures.

Disaster and local officials will meet Monday afternoon to decide whether to declare a state of calamity.

The worst-hit town in Zambales, meanwhile, is Sta. Cruz where almost 7,000 houses were destroyed. A resident also died at the height of the storm.

The victim’s identity and the cause of death have yet to be established.

Zambales Gov. Amor Deloso estimated that the damage to structure and agriculture might reach P150 million.

Reports said residents of Sta. Cruz are in need of food and medicine supplies.

“Right now a lot of government agencies are still undergoing clearing operations. Every after an emergency or every after a typhoon, the most urgent need will be food and water and since yesterday (Sunday) the [Department of Social Welfare and Development] has been sending relief supplies to different areas,” Golez said.

He said the government has also sent medical surveillance team to evacuation centers and other crowded areas to monitor their health condition.

Construction materials to build the destroyed homes are also one of the basic and urgent needs of the typhoon victims who have started to return to communities to rebuild their lives.
