VM Alvin is Dagupan's Acting City Mayor

Barely a week from his last designation as acting city mayor, Vice Mayor Alvin Fernandez again assumes the position after Mayor Benjamin Lim informed him that the mayor is traveling to Taiwan on an official trip and to China on a personal trip from Sept. 21 until the end of this month. This will be the second time this month for the vice mayor to assume the position. Mayor Lim’s trip to Taiwan, along with Pangasinan’s coastal town mayors and Dagupan City’s key fisheries officials, is a familiarization tour on the new fishing technologies being used in the area, which may be successfully replicated in the city. Last Sept. 3-13, Mayor Lim traveled to India for a personal visit. While Acting City Mayor, Vice Mayor Fernandez held a series of meetings with the city government’s department heads to address concerns that needed immediate attention, such as the PUJ drivers and operators strike, health and sanitation and revenue collection.
