The Angeles City Government, led by Mayor Carmelo ‘Pogi’ Lazatin Jr., is steadfast in its commitment to supporting its residents with essential services. In a continued effort to meet the needs of the local community, the city recently distributed medical, educational, and burial assistance to 109 beneficiaries. This initiative, which took place on November 19, 2024, was facilitated by the City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSDWO).
Mayor Lazatin, known for his hands-on leadership, emphasized the importance of ensuring that all Angeleños, especially those facing financial hardship, have access to critical resources. The assistance program is part of the city’s broader strategy to improve the quality of life for its citizens and provide relief to those in need during times of crisis.
The beneficiaries, who were selected based on specific needs, received the help they required to alleviate the financial burden of medical expenses, educational costs, and burial services. This move underscores the city’s dedication to providing comprehensive support across various sectors, ensuring that every resident can access necessary services without unnecessary barriers.
In addition to the monetary assistance, the city government also ensures that the process of receiving aid is straightforward and efficient. The CSDWO played a crucial role in identifying eligible beneficiaries and ensuring that the distribution process was smooth and transparent. This proactive approach is part of the Lazatin administration’s efforts to make government services more accessible to the public.
Mayor Lazatin’s leadership continues to be focused on the welfare of the residents, as he firmly believes that no one should be left behind. His administration has consistently worked to address the growing needs of the community, ensuring that essential services like healthcare, education, and social support are readily available to those who require them.
In a statement, the mayor highlighted that the city’s goal is to be a government that works not only for the people but also with the people. He encouraged other local government units to adopt similar practices of inclusivity and responsiveness to their citizens’ needs.
As Angeles City moves forward under Mayor Lazatin’s leadership, it is clear that providing for the basic needs of its residents will remain a top priority. The city government’s continued assistance programs reflect the commitment to nurturing a supportive and resilient community where every individual has access to the help they need, whenever they need it.
