Provincial Capitol in the Philippines”. Simultaneous to the renovation of the physical infrastructure of the province, human resource improvement was implemented through programs which resulted to the restoration of dignity, self-respect and professionalism of provincial government employees as working force partners in Pangasinan's development. It was during this term of Governor Amado T. Espino, Jr. that the founding day of Pangasinan was established, celebrating its 430th founding anniversary for the first time on April 5, 2010. Pangasinan's Golden age took off from this year which saw numerous investments flowing into the province, significant development projects mushrooming in every corner, local, national and international linkages being established, all for Pangasinan's progress and advancement, and finally breaking ground on a period where Pangasinenses proudly claim that their Province is the best place to invest, live, work and raise a family. Consequently, under the administration of Governor Amado I. Espino III, the provincial government of Pangasinan celebrated the Provincial Capitol's CENTENNIAL ANNIVERSARY in December 2018.
