PSU ALAMINOS CITY HISTORY
The Filipino people suffering from poverty brought about by the worsening scenario
in the global arena must face this ailing world with a tremendous faith in improving the quality of life through proper education which is a shared responsibility of
the people and the Government. If health is the cornerstone of a wealthy nation,
in like manner, education is the cornerstone of a progressive economy. It is in
this theoretical and humanitarian ideology where PANGASINAN STATE UNIVERSITY ALAMINOS
Campus, the ninth campus of PSU was conceptualized by HON. HERNANI A. BRAGANZA,
City Mayor in a meeting with some PSU officials lead by President VICTORIANO C.
ESTIRA.

the establishment of Pangasinan State University Campus in the City of Alaminos

responsibility of ensuring the happiness and well being as well as a stable life
