FIRST DISTRICT, Pampanga – In the first 100 days of Carmelo Lazatin, Jr. as Representative of the Pampanga First District, a total of 4,410 daycare students received school supplies personally donated by Lazatin out of his own pocket.
A total of 2,745 daycare students in Mabalacat City and 1,665 daycare students in Magalang received crayons, notebooks, pencil, eraser, sharpener, and writing pads.
The parents of each student also received five kilos of rice from Lazatin.
The school supplies were personally delivered by Lazatin to each daycare center back in July 2025 – the same month he was sworn into office.
In August, Lazatin announced that he is set to request P260 million funding for the rehabilitation of all 173 daycare centers in the First District in 2026.
Lazatin intends to repair all 173 day care centers in the First District, and install two HP air-conditioners and a smart TV – at least 55 inches in size – in each day care center.
Currently, there are 78 day care centers in Angeles City, 62 in Mabalacat City, and 33 in Magalang Municipality.
Lazatin is also set to request P 200 million pesos to fund the construction of computer labs in 19 public high schools in the First District in 2026.
Under the project, a state-of-the-art computer laboratory will be constructed in six public high schools in Magalang Municipality, 12 public high schools in Mabalacat City, and in Francisco G. Nepomuceno Memorial High School (FGNMHS) in Angeles City.
It can be recalled that during his time as Angeles City Mayor, Lazatin led the distribution of complete school kits, including uniforms, school supplies, and bags, to all 93,697 public school and 3,368 daycare students in the City.
Since his first foray into public service – having been elected as Angeles City Councilor in 2013 – Lazatin has also been an active participant of the annual Brigada Eskwela.
Lazatin participated in the Brigada Eskwela 2025, where he personally donated 580 sacks of cement, 116 liters of paint, and 232 paint brushes each to 58 public schools in Mabalacat City and 58 public schools in Magalang Town.
