We came across an online commentary mentioning Urdaneta City as info-friendly alongside Alaminos City. We personally can attest to this being true as we have been courteously accommodated not only at the (old) city hall but in other barangay halls as well.
Here is the full commentary:
Commentary: Alaminos, Urdaneta - info-friendly cities
Pangasinan (14 May) -- A LOCAL government unit's performance and overall efficiency is usually measured by the time it takes for either the city executive or his administrator to get department heads moving to secure for him the data he needs – even at a moment's notice.
In my visits, (and these, always for official matters) to the cities of Urdaneta and again, just last Thursday, May 8, to Alaminos, it has been such a welcome experience for a mediaman like me to be practically given the answers to my questions, or resource persons summoned to come around to answer as my cup of coffee was being mixed and served hot.
The prompt and courteous response alone bespeaks of a well-oiled, synchronized and dedicated human machinery at work, its members fully realizing the need for their mayor or his chief administrator to be (or at least appear) in control always with facts at his fingertips.
