ANGELES CITY — Mayor Carmelo “Pogi” Lazatin Jr. on March 12, 2025 led the blessing and inauguration of two primary care facilities in Barangays Tabun, and Cutud bringing up the total of primary care facilities into 10.
According to Mayor Lazatin, with the opening of four additional primary care facilities this month, the city government is inching closer to its goal to provide the ideal number of primary health care units for its population.
Five more additional primary health care units in Barangays Pulungbulu, Anunas, Capaya, Amsic, and Balibago are also set to be opened adding up to the existing ones in Barangays Pandan, Sto. Domingo, Lourdes Northwest, Lourdes Sur East, Balibago, Pulung Cacutud, Tabun, Malabanias, Pulung Maragul, and Cutud.
“Last 2023, we initiated the construction of nine more primary care facilities,” Lazatin shared.
When Lazatin took office in 2019, the city government only had six Rural Health Units.
Aside from the newly-opened primary care facilities, Lazatin is also ensuring the availability of medicines in each primary care facility.
Like his father, Former First District Rep. and Angeles City Mayor Carmelo “Tarzan” Lazatin, he firmly believes that “those who have less in life must have more from the government.”
