Angeles City Mayor Carmelo “Pogi” Lazatin, Jr. recognized exceptional public servants during a ceremony on December 16, 2024, where he awarded a certificate of recognition and a cash incentive to Mark Vincent Flores from the City Engineering Office. Flores was acknowledged for his valuable contributions and exemplary performance in his role, demonstrating a commitment to public service that has significantly benefited the community.
Flores was one of the 86 employees from the city hall honored as Model Employees for the year 2024. This recognition highlights their consistent dedication to excellence in their respective duties, which greatly contribute to the city’s efficient functioning and growth. The award serves as a reminder of the crucial role that public servants play in improving the lives of the Angeleños.
The ceremony, which was held at the City Hall, aimed to celebrate the hard work and accomplishments of individuals like Flores who go above and beyond to ensure that essential services are delivered to the people. The recognition ceremony also highlights the city’s commitment to appreciating its employees, who play a vital part in the local government’s day-to-day operations.
Mayor Lazatin expressed his gratitude for the employees’ hard work, noting that their efforts do not go unnoticed. He emphasized that public service requires dedication, passion, and resilience, and that those who demonstrate these qualities deserve to be celebrated.
Flores, alongside the other recipients, received not only a certificate but also a cash incentive, a gesture aimed at encouraging public servants to continue striving for excellence in their work. The city hopes that this recognition will serve as motivation for other employees to improve their services and contribute to a better Angeles City.
The award ceremony has a dual purpose: to honor those who have shown outstanding performance and to inspire others within the government workforce. By recognizing these exemplary employees, the local government aims to foster a culture of dedication and excellence within its ranks, further elevating the quality of services provided to the citizens of Angeles.
As a result, the Model Employee Awards initiative serves as a tool to boost morale among city hall employees, instilling pride in their work and motivating them to continue serving with the same passion and commitment. The ceremony not only honors individual achievement but also strengthens the bond between the local government and the community it serves.
