ANGELES CITY — Some 3,484 Contract of Service employees received their P3,000 year-end gratuity from the city government on Dec. 5, 2024.

Mayor Carmelo "Pogi" Lazatin, Jr. said this is to continue recognizing the unwavering service of the employees in serving the Angeleños.

Mayor Lazatin called the city hall government employees as the true assets of the city, in delivering services to the Angeleños.

“Ang mga kawani po ng gobyerno lalo na po ang mga COS ang kaantabay natin sa pagbababa ng mga serbisyo sa mga bara-barangay,” Lazatin said.

The COS employees also received Christmas ham, and rice packages the same day.

This is not the first time that Mayor Lazatin took the initiative for the year-end gratuity of the COS employees.

The city government, under the leadership of Mayor Lazatin, started the distribution of year-end gratuity of the COS employees in 2020.

Flordeliza Santos, President of the Association of Government Employees for a New Dynamic Angeles City (AGENDA), thanked the administration of Mayor Lazatin for prioritizing the employees, and that of their families.

"Maraming salamat po. Maraming pamilya na naman po ang matutuwa sa uwing year-end gratuity ng ating mga COS employees," Santos said.

Rico Lacanlale, an employee of Civil Security Unit said, “Nagpapasalamat ako sa lahat ng benepisyo lalo na sa bigas na meron kaming natatanggap para makaraos tsaka kagaya ng ginagawa ni Mayor Pogi na activity sobrang nakakatouch lahat ng benepisyo na binibigay niya lalo na sa buong Angeles sa mga nagtatrabaho sa mga senior at marami pang iba”

This was also agreed by Arn Lagazo, Command Center Supervisor for six years.

“The best si mayor natin from 6 yrs maganda pamamalakad tapos di lang bonus ang meron may ham at bigas din kahit na cos lang kami,” Lagazo said.

Corazon Rivera, a 20-year veteran street sweeper of Environmental Management System, echoed her gratitude to Mayor Lazatin.

“Mabait si Mayor Pogi, gustong-gusto namin siya kung pwede nga di na namin siya palitan eh. Sobrang laking pasasalamat namin sa kanya,” Rivera said.
