Pangasinan 4th District Rep. Gina de Venecia said a fish port in Dagupan will be realized soon after House Bill 4445 mandating its establishment was approved without amendment by the Senate last Thursday. "For many decades, Dagupan has been known as a regional market center. The city is famous nationally because of its homegrown products like the seafood and the Bonuan bangus," she said. In 2010, the Dagupan Seafood Processing Plant was established through the joint efforts of the Department of Agriculture and the South Korean Government through the Koren International Cooperation Agency and her husband, former Speaker Joe de Venecia.
