ANGELES CITY – The Angeles City Employees Multi-Purpose Cooperative (ACEMPC) and the Angeles City Employees for a New and Dynamic Angeles (AGENDA) commended Mayor Carmelo ‘Pogi’ Lazatin Jr. for providing rice subsidy to all City Hall employees.

On March 31, 2020, Lazatin signed Memorandum No. 584, Series of 2020 which seeks to distribute 10 kilos of rice per employee.

Around 4,000 City Hall employees will receive the rice subsidy, including Contract of Service employees, Barangay Nutrition Scholars, Barangay Health Workers, Barangay Population Workers, and Day Care Workers.

“Natutuwa po kami na may initiative si Mayor pagdating sa pangangailangan ng mga empleyado. Lagi po siyang gumagawa ng paraan para magbigay ng assistance sa mga empleyado,” said Leopoldo Cura, Chairperson of the ACEMPC.

“Napakalaking bagay po ng rice subsidy lalo na sa kasalukuyan na hindi nakakalabas ang mga tao dahil sa quarantine,” Cura added, “Lahat po ng nagtratrabaho sa gobyerno, hindi lamang mga permanent employees, kung hindi pati na rin ang mga COS, ay binibigyan niya.”

Cura also praised the Mayor for his leadership skills amid the public health crisis caused by COVID-19.

“Sa panahon ng krisis natin makikita kung gaano ka-epektibo ang isang lider, at si Mayor Pogi, since day one ng krisis na ito makikita na proactive siya,” Cura said, “Hindi rin nawawala sa isip niya na tulungan ang mga nasasakupan niya.”

Flordeliza Santos, President of the AGENDA also showed her appreciation for Mayor Lazatin for his kind care to the City Hall employees.

“Ang kanyang pagkalinga sa mga manggagawa ay hindi po matatawaran, sa dami na po ng kanyang iniitindi ay hindi pa rin niya nakakalimutan ang mga empleyado,” she said.

She lauded the Mayor for his hard work, stating that he is a public servant whom the public can count on.

Santos also commended Lazatin for including a P37 million budget for Hazard Pay of frontliners.
