Kadiwa kiosks, featuring local products, are now located at the city hall compound from June 19 until the 20th. This initiative aims to support local farmers and entrepreneurs by providing them with a platform to sell their goods directly to the public. The presence of these kiosks is a testament to the city’s commitment to boosting local agriculture and supporting small businesses.
Mayor Carmelo “Pogi” Lazatin, Jr. personally visited the kiosks earlier and purchased his favorite goods, showing his support for the local vendors. “We have an allotted monthly schedule to feature our Kadiwa products, by way of installing the kiosks here. Ito po ay upang patuloy na tulungan at suportahan ang kanilang kabuhayan,” Lazatin said. His visit highlights the importance of the Kadiwa project in promoting local products and ensuring the livelihood of small-scale producers.
The Kadiwa stalls are not just a temporary initiative; they are part of a broader strategy to support and sustain local livelihoods. By providing a regular schedule for these kiosks, the city ensures continuous support for local farmers and entrepreneurs. This ongoing effort is crucial for the economic stability of the community and helps build a robust local economy.
A total of eight stalls are now at the city hall compound, attracting employees and visitors alike. The high patronage of these stalls reflects the community’s enthusiasm and support for local products. The convenient location at the city hall makes it easy for more people to access and purchase fresh, locally-produced goods, fostering a sense of community and shared purpose.
Executive Assistant IV Reina Manuel is supervising the two-day operation of the Kadiwa stalls, with Chief Adviser IC Calaguas and the Angeles City Economic Development Investment and Promotions Office headed by Irish Bonus-Llego. This structured oversight ensures that the kiosks operate smoothly and effectively, providing a seamless experience for both vendors and customers.
This is not the first time that the city government has shown its support for the Kadiwa project. Among the flagship programs of Mayor Lazatin is to support and boost agriculture. By continuously promoting initiatives like the Kadiwa stalls, the city reinforces its commitment to sustainable agricultural practices and the well-being of its farmers. This ongoing support is essential for the growth and development of the local agricultural sector.
In conclusion, the Kadiwa stalls at Angeles City Hall are more than just a marketplace; they are a symbol of the city’s dedication to supporting local producers and promoting agricultural sustainability. Through initiatives like this, Angeles City continues to empower its community and foster economic growth.
