Balungao Pangasinan Philippines
Past and Present Functional Role
Ever since, the Municipality of Balungao is basically an agricultural town whose economy is firmly anchored on rice and vegetable production. Though Balungao is a satellite town to Tayug as per the Regional Physical Framework Plan for 1993-2022 of Region I, the town is largely dependent from Rosales and Urdaneta for the provision of its people's basic needs like recreation centers, commercial and industrial facilities and the like.
