Pangasinan receives 27 inflatable boats from PNP

LINGAYEN, Pangasinan, July 28 (PNA) -- Police Regional Dorector Orlando Mabutas on Tuesday turned over to Police Provincial Director Percival Barba 27 inflatable boats, or rubber boats, for use of the Pangasinan police in rescue and relief operations during calamities.

Mabutas, who was on his first command visit to the Pangasinan Provincial Office since assuming his post as Police Regional Director early July, said the rubber boats came from Camp Crame and were made available as part of the PNP Transformation Program.

The rubber boats will be distributed later to police stations, priority are those located in flood-prone cities and municipalities.

Mabutas said the arrival of the rubber boats is timely as Pangasinan province and the entire Ilocos Region are bracing for another flood because of the current rainy season.

He told newsmen later that rubber boats will also be given to La Union, Ilocos Sur and Ilocos Norte. Pangasinan got the allocation first because it is the biggest province in the entire Ilocos Region.

With the rubber boats, he said, the police in Pangasinan and the entire Region 1 can now respond at a much faster pace to the call for help by people in distress during the flood.

Pangasinan used to depend on the help of Naval Forces Northern Luzon for rescue operations since there are only few rubber boats available in the province.

The Provincial Disaster Coordinating Council (PDCC) of Pangasinan and the City Disaster Coordinating Council of Dagupan are then the only areas in Pangasinan maintaining rubber boats.

But last year, then Rep. Jose de Venecia Jr. brought home five brand new rubber boats from Korea which he distributed to the city of Dagupan, San Jacinto, San Fabian and Manaoag.

While in Pangasinan, Chief Superintendent Mabutas pinned the "Medalya ng Papuri" to the chiefs of police of Tayug and Dagupan City and few of their men for meritorious accomplishments in arresting an armed suspect, as well as a suspected marijuana dealer, respectively.

Before visiting the Pangasinan Police Office, Mabutas paid a courtesy call on Governor Amado Espino Jr., who is himself a retired police colonel and who served at one time as police provincial director of Pangasinan and Police Regional Director of the Ilocos.

Mabutas earlier made available to the Pangasinan Police Office at least 53 Cal. 99 millimeter pistols as service firearms of the local police which was boosted later with an additional 51 shotguns.

Before this, statistics showed some 600 policemen in Pangasinan have no firearms. (PNA)

About Santa Maria, Pangasinan

Santa Maria is a 4th class municipality in the province of Pangasinan, Philippines. According to the 2000 census, it has a population of 27,860 people in 5,818 households. HISTORY  Sta. Maria was formerly a barrio of the municipality of Tayug. It was founded on January 10,1855 and became a town under a rule of a Captain up to 1863. The following year, the municipality was fused to them municipality of Tayug because of its enability to maintain the financial stability of the town. It was in 1877 when its inhabitants has applied from the municipality of Tayug for separation as a distinct municipality. The application was granted and again it became a town under the rule of Captain Eugenio Vinluan. About November, 1903, the Americans arrived in the locality and this time their rule began. In 1901, election for the president of the town during the military government of the United States of the islands, and due to the good administration of the president, he was given two years term. Again in 1903, the municipality was fused to the town of Tayug until 1906 for some reasons as cited above, but in 1907 special election was held for the purpose of returning all small municipalities fused with bigger towns in 1903. Don Alejandro Gonzales was elected president up to 1910, when he was succeeded by Don Mariano de Guzman up to 1912. And from this date to the present the different successions of presidents, alcaldes and mayors had, as all over the islands, taken place. Many years during the Spanish Regime, religion was the basis of educating the masses, so that from time to time missionaries of different orders were sent out to carry religious services as required of them. And that during the routinary visit of certain priest to the town of Asingan, then the most eastern town of the province of Pangasinan, had extended his mission farther east and came to see a place, located on a plain which through little effort could easily be irrigated by the Agno River; a kilometer away. He believed the placed could be developed into a prosperous community. Finding the residents to be hospitable, he chated with them. In the course of the conversation, he thought of giving the place a name. It was Virgin Mary's Day, he then called the people around him and with a simple but impressive solemnity proclaimed the place as Sta. Maria to commemorate the day. In the course of time the prominent people improved the locality and transferred the town site from Namagbagan now a barrio of the municipality to its present site near a clay promontory, which formed an impregnable defense against a yearly erosion of the Agno, thus annexing "De Pila" to the original word making Sta. Maria de Pila the final name, a name known beyond the confines of the province of Pangasinan. Grafted from the town of Tayug, Sta. Maria has quite a number of faith healers flocked by those who seek to be eased off their discomforts. This town, with its pristine beauty, provides a sofa for the senses.
