Congressman Carmelo “Pogi” Lazatin, Jr. visits the iconic ‘totobits’ stalls in Nepo Center, Angeles City to enjoy local street food favorites.
Cong Pogi is known for his staunch support for local small businesses.
As Angeles City Mayor from 2019 to 2025, Cong Pogi strengthened the City’s ‘One Town One Product’ (OTOP) Program by waiving fees for MSME owners and organizing regular trade fairs.
During this time, the OTOP store had 20 merchants, who received 100% of their sales from the OTOP store on a weekly basis.
To contribute to the sales of local OTOP merchants, the City Government also opted to use their products as tokens for official visitors.
Joining Cong Pogi on his visit to Nepo Center is Chief Political Affairs Officer Reina Manuel.
