At 7pm of March 27, 2010 , Dagupan will be treated with the wonderful live performance of The Radicals , said to be one of the best acoustic band s of Dagupan City. This time it is a Concert for a Cause. This concert is so personal as it is for the benefit of the baby John Noah - son of the band's kahonista, Benjie Mula. Baby John Noah, is a newborn who suffers from Esophageal Atresia , a rare congenital medical condition which affects the alimentary tract . It causes the esophagus to end in a blind-ended pouch rather than connecting normally to the stomach . It occurs in approximately 1 in 4425 live births. Surgery has been done and hospital costs now amount to more than P700,000.  Ticket prices for the Concert for a Cause are: P50 (General Admission), P150 (Reserved Seats) and P300 (Reserved Seats plus a CD of The Radical's cover performances). As ticket sales may not be enough, pledges and donations are welcome. Tickets are available at the Hall of Fame Bar a...

Are you interested to get grills for the Bangusan Street Party on April 30. 2010? Proceed to the City Tourism Office to secure your grill as soon as possible. This is on a first-come first serve basis. The price for the grill is P2,500 inclusive of 5 kilos of Bangus, tongs and charcoal. If you only want to purchase the grill, the price is P1,700. If you still have last year's grill and would like to use it again, just pay P850 for the Bangus. However, you have to surrender the old grill at the City Tourism Office and have them repainted.

        Dagupan City celebrated the International Women's Day on March 8, 2010 through an octopus rally (originating from various points and converging at a common area) organized by Dagupan City Councilor Atty. Farah G. Decano. The points of origin of the women (and some men) who rallied were: Arellano St. which tackled Anti-exploitation of women, Mayombo Dist. which tackled Women's Health issues and Lucao Dist. which tackled Anti-Domestic Violence. The three groups converged at the Dagupan City Plaza to culminate the event with a short program. Click here to view more pictures ...
