FIRST DISTRICT, Pampanga – “Nagpapasalamat ako sa Department of Social Welfare and Development sa pag-apruba ng request nating financial assistance para sa mga stall owners na nasalanta ng sunog sa Pampang Public Market.”
Thus, said Congressman Carmelo “Pogi” Lazatin, Jr. on November 5, 2026, following the approval of the DSWD for the P10,400 financial assistance for the 412 stall owners affected by the fire that razed the Pampang Public Market on September 17.
“Maliit lang na halaga ito na sana ay makatulong sa muling pagbangon ng ating mga stall owners sa Pampang,” Lazatin said.
Lazatin also expressed gratitude to the City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO) for providing the list of stall owners that was submitted to the DSWD.
The payout schedule will be on November 12.
Staff from Lazatin’s office will start calling beneficiaries to inform them of other pertinent information on Monday, November 9.
It can be recalled that on September 17, immediately after the Pampang fire, Lazatin sent a letter to the DSWD, through Regional Director Venus Rebuldela, to request Emergency Cash Transfer (ECT) for 25 days for the benefit of the owners of the 412 stalls destroyed by the fire.
