Barangay torn between Pangasinan, NVizcaya

SAN CARLOS CITY: Gov. Ramon Guico 3rd this week said the Pangasinan provincial government will assert its ownership over Malico, an upland barangay (village) of San Nicolas town that is being claimed by Santa Fe town in Nueva Vizcaya.

'We cannot just give whatever is owned by the province. We will assert our right. We will fight for it,' Guico also said in an interview with reporters here.
