The province of Pangasinan was chosen as one of the finalists in the Search for the 2012 Most Business-Friendly LGU Awards for Province, Level-1 Category.

Gov. Amado T. Espino, Jr. said the final judging of the winner will be held at the PCCI Boardroom, Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City on Sept. 27.

The Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) conducted the search in line with the holding of its 38th Philippine Business Conference in October.

PPCI president Miguel Varela said the award seeks to recognize and promote models of governance of municipalities, cities, and provinces that have demonstrated outstanding efforts in instituting reforms to promote trade and investment in their localities; ensure accountability, transparency and efficiency in the conduct of day-to-day operations, among others.

The LGU Award adopts the slogan “What’s Good for the Citizenry is Good for Business” which represents a framework for achieving continuous improvement of LGU services to their areas, benefiting both the community and citizenry.
