Greetings!

Dagupan today is truly an awe-inspiring spectacle. It is a testament to the power and creativity of its people to rise and meet the future.

Everyday, it is exploring new frontiers of competitiveness by continually creating an environment that sustains more value creation for its enterprises and more prosperity for its people.

It continues to nurture communities of practice and pockets of excellence, not competing against other cities but against itself. It must surpass itself.

Today, the story continues with one people sharing and chasing a beautiful dream of an orderly city, more livable for its children.

Because with one dream, we create new wonders. With one heart, we create new hopes. With one vision, we create our new city.

We dream with them. We build with them. We work together. We win together.

These are all great reasons to smile at life and celebrate the 2008 Dagupan City Fiesta.
