Socio-Economic Impact of Business Establishments in the
Municipality of Villasis, Pangasinan to the Community:
Inputs to Business Plan Development
Business establishments in Villasis, Pangasinan bring a lot of benefits to the community
therefore leading to the improvement of the socio-economic life of the people. However,
despite the claim that these businesses definitely improve the quality of life of the people,
there is a need not only to determine both the positive and impact, but should also identify
means to mitigate adverse effects to balance between the economic gains and negative effects
to the community. The local government therefore has the prime responsibility to implement
stricter measures to balance the fast growth of business vis-à-vis the socioeconomic impact to
the community. Proposed measures maybe integrated in the local government’s business plan
for Villasis that will promote long term sustainability.
