LINGAYEN, Pangasinan
The Guico – Espino part II is a win for the incumbent anew. Gov. Ramon Guico III mustered enough votes to defeat his predecessor Amado I. Espino III in the midterm polls last Monday Guico garnered 881,307 votes and beat anew Espino who received 784,470 votes for
a 96,837 margin. The difference was due to the large margins in districts 1 and 5 with percentage difference of 39.77 percent and 37.63 percent, respectively. Gov. Guico also recorded wins in three of the remaining districts with 26.25 percentage difference in district 6, 18.44
percent in district 2 and 12.74 percent in district 4.
The governor said he will continue what he started as he vowed to bolster programs in tourism, health, education, infrastructure among others as he thanked the people for their unwavering support. Guico won due to his fulfilled promises that improved lives of the more than three million Pangasinenses. During Guico’s first term, the Pangasinan Polytechnic College (PPC), which was a campaign promise, was
established. In his second term, Gov, Guico aims to build additional campuses for the first-ever tertiary school operated by the provincial government in the towns of Umingan and Bugallon. Healthcare modernization will be continued specifically the Pangasinan Government
