Ogie Manzano, mass communication instructor of the college of liberal arts, University of Pangasinan, said the field activity sought to give a face to development communication, defined as “organized efforts to use communication processes and media channels to bring (about) social and economic improvements.”
Lending support to the Mamalingling information outreach were Vice Mayor and acting Mayor Alvin Fernandez, the sangguniang panlungsod, Region 1 Medical Center thru Dr. Jesus D. Canto, city health office, Sangguniang Kabataan Federation thru president Charisse Perez, Dagupan Jaycees, Inc., Department of Trade and Industry and the Dagupan Business Center.
