ROSALES -- Two new municipal halls in Pangasinan will be inaugurated this January. One is of historical heritage while the other is of ultra modern in architectural design. Both buildings are beauties or sights to behold.
On January 5, the restored Rosales Municipal Hall will be inaugurated. Mayor Ricardo Revita said the program will be held early evening after the sun had set.
The balikabayans and local residents will be serenaded by violinists who will be playing classical music at the verandah of the presidencia. To be invited are immediate heirs of former mayors in the town.
Revita said the Municipal Government will finally be housed in a "real" municipal hall unlike where it is situated -- at the ground floor of the municipal gym. He said the funds used for the renovation came from the savings of the Municipal Government and from the Priority Development Assistance Fund (Pdaf) of Pangasinan Sixth District Representative Conrado Estrella III.
Meanwhile, the two-storey Villasis Municipal Hall will also be inaugurated this January during the town's fiesta celebration.
"We painted it (Villasis Municipal Hall) with yellow for it to be different from the conventional municipal halls. Its bright color is eye-catching specially in the evening," said Mayor Nonato Abrenica.
Abrenica said the room dividers are made all glass as "reflection of his administrative style, which is transparency."
"My being transparent, I believe, is one of the reasons why we get a lot of assistance from our town mates, including those living abroad. They know where their money goes," he said. (LCMY/Sunnex)
