Welcome to the City of Alaminos, the city of the Hundred Islands. We invite you to be a part of a balanced, sustainable development model that is beginning to happen.

Alaminos is home to the Hundred Islands National Park, the very first national park in the Philippines. It is also the heart of Western Pangasinan, its center of commerce, finance, education, industry and services.

We are a new city, barely four years old, but we already have the fourth largest economy in Pangasinan, [read more]

Alaminos is undeniably a growing trade, commercial and educational center of Western Pangasinan. Owing to its strategic location and with the presence of the world-famous Hundred Islands National Park, and with its abundant natural resources, the municipality is one of the growth centers in Region I. With such inherent strengths, traders and businessmen continue to come to Alaminos. Investments propelled the economic development of the town.

With a booming economy, Alaminos was reclassified from fourth to third class municipality in July 1991, the only one in the province and one of the five (5) municipalities in Region I. Its reclassification is based on the provisions of Executive Order No. 249 and Finance Department Order No. 79-91 dated July 1991. Six years later, with continuous economic growth, Alaminos, was again reclassified into a first class municipality in May 7, 1997 by virtue of the Executive Order No. 294 and Finance Department Order No. 79-91 dated July 1991.

However, it was in 1994 when then Mayor Alipio Fernandez, Mayor of Dagupan City, first broached the idea to the then Mayor Leon M. Rivera, Jr., of converting Alaminos into a city due to its strategic location in Western Pangasinan.  [read more]


A trip to Alaminos is a great diversion from urban hustle-and-bustle. Free ways, rice paddies and rustic ambience is to be beholden. A big stretch of blue sea signifies one is in Sual, Pangasinan. Big commercial ships dock on its shores in case of tropical depressions. Sual has a zigzag road resembling that of Kenon Road in Baguio City.

The costal city of Alaminos in the province of Pangasinan, where the islands is much nearer, is about five hours bus ride from Metro Manila and three hours from Baguio City. Land travel from Manila to Alaminos City is 250 kms, 4 hours by private vehicle from Manila via Camiling, Tarlac 5 ½ hours by public vehicle.

Public bus lines regularly plying the Pangasinan route (Baguio to Alaminos straight), passing by La Union province, are the Byron North Express and the Victory Liner. From Dagupan (if you have not chance on a straight ride from Baguio), it would take about another one and a half hours to reach Alaminos City, the Home of the Hundred Islands.
