Pangasinan, partnered by Mr. Juanito Illana, Jr. inaugurated the new single room school library building in Cauringan Elementary School, Cauringan, Sison Pangasinan on July 21, 2010.

A joint manhunt performed by the Sison PNP led by PCI Rodolfo D. Castro and agents from the Provincial Intelligence Branch, Pangasinan Provincial Office, led to the arrest of persons with standing arrest warrants residing in Sison.

As per an order issued by the Pozorrubio Circuit Trial Court, the Sison police arrested theft suspects, Roberto Esquelon of Sitio Crusher, Barangay Labayug, and Joey De Vera of Sitio Gorgordion, Barangay Bila, in their residence on July 19, 2010. The bail for their temporary liberty is fixed at P10,000.00 each.

Former Pangasinan 5th District Representative, Mr. Mark O. Cojuangco, was extremely infuriated over the faulty construction of a 7.7 million pesos worth of irrigation canal during his surprise inspection in Amagbagan on July 6, 2010. New mayor, Hon. Mina Joy C. Pangasinan, and the project engineers went with the former Congressman in his 2 kilometers walk along the irrigation canal that is intended to benefit the farmers of barangay Amagbagan, Camangaan, and Tara-tara. The funding for the project was extracted from the 120 million pesos tobacco excise tax that Mr. Cojuangco labored to release from the national government during his incumbency.

“There’s a time for everything…A time to sleep and a time to wake up …” After two consecutive years of failed attempts to land passer, Northern Luzon Adventist College has finally awakened from its sleep with 3 new Certified Public Accountants, as can be seen in the Professional Regulation Commissions list of successful examinees released May 25, 2010.

July 13, 2010 - Alert status is raised to warn all constituents on the danger that is imminent because of the expected arrival of typhoon Basyang as announced by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Service Administration (PAGASA). Municipal office heads, the police, barangay captains, fire department chief, school officials, and others that comprise the Municipal Disaster Coordinating Council (MDCC) now called the Municipal Risk Reduction and Management Council (MRRMC) were called for an emergency meeting by Mayor Mina Joy C. Pangasinan in her office to do immediate disaster preparedness plans.

A flux in the stability of the Job Order employees in Sison was already felt even during the administration of the previous mayor, now 5th District Representative Kimi S. Cojuangco. The meager source of funding for either the retention or permanence of the Job Order employees caused reasons for the on and off suspensions of their work operations.

After her oath of office and taking on the responsibility, new Sison Mayor Mina Joy C. Pangasinan issued immediate order to retain all JOs to another two months, exceeding President Aquino’s directive of a one month extension, to give ample time for remedies of possible retention.

Pol. Chief Inspector Rodolfo Castro, Jr. of the municipality of Sison was chosen one of the seven best uniformed personnel of the Philippine National Police during the rank inspection conducted by Senior Officers before the start of the conference held in Camp Crame, Quezon City on April 7, 2010 participated by at least one thousand five hundred police chiefs from the Cordillera Region, Regions I, II, III, IVA, IVB, V, and the National Capital. He bested the entire Region 1 and given the award of one laptop computer for his personal use

06-29-2010 - “I am a full-blooded NLACian!”, the new Sison mayor said in her first public appearance at the Northern Luzon Adventist College (NLAC), Artacho, Sison, Pangasinan after her inaugural and oath-taking ceremony that was held at the Yellow Nipa hut in barangay Paldit, Sison, Pangasinan on June 28, 2010.

As soon as the elected officials particularly the newcomers assumed seats, a revamp of almost all the cabinet members, coterminous positions, and non-CESO (Career Executive Service Officials), was the major concern and the initial agenda. This did not spare the many police chiefs assigned in the cities and municipalities nationwide. But the outstanding performance of Police Chief Inspector Rodolfo D. Castro, Jr. compelled the new Sison mayor, Hon. Mina Joy C. Pangasinan, to retain him in his post as the town’s PNP Chief.

The new Sison Mayor, Hon. Mina C. Joy Pangasinan, took her oath of office publicly at the Yellow Nipa Hut on June 28, 2010. The young lawyer by profession took the stand with dignity as she recited her vow in front of the administering official, her predecessor and newly elected Pangasinan 5th District Representative, Hon.
