AlaminosCity.com Information

All websites dedicated to government units have devoted their energies and resources to the presentation of cold facts and figures hoping to attract potential investors.  Above and beyond this, AlaminosCity.com’s mission is to maintain a grassroots approach of covering any event affecting Alaminos and the neighboring municipality.  Even small, seemingly insignificant occasions mean the whole world to someone, like a grandson’s baptism or graduation.

The founders of this website are two brothers, born in Alaminos and raised in the States, who have moved back with a vision that Alaminos will be the IT center of Western Pangasinan.  AlaminosCity.com is their contribution towards this vision and to their fellow citymates.

On March 8, 2002, they had a positive and fruitful meeting with the Mayor who has promised his support and from his department heads by supplying city information for posting on the website. On March 28th, the first birthday of the City of Alaminos, the website was born.

Currently, Email messages to recipients in Alaminos are sent to neighboring towns or cities with websites without certainty that they will be received.  Here at AlaminosCity.com, our bulletin board will be available for the public to view free of charge.  For your recipients who do not have Internet access, we will provide them free E-mail service, so they can reply to your messages.  Please send your email messages to alaminoscitypost@digitelone.com. 

AlaminosCity.com was developed to deposit cultural knowledge obtained from a case study done on the City of Alaminos for a doctoral dissertation for Pepperdine University, Malibu, California.

We welcome any suggestions for our next face-lift; things you would want included in the website.  You can contact our Webmaster at alaminoscity@digitelone.com.
