Angeles City Mayor Carmelo ‘Pogi’ Lazatin Jr. on September 11, 2023 visited five public schools and five day care centers in the city to distribute free school supplies.
Some 8,731 public school students and 211 day care learners received their backpacks with a complete set of school supplies including textbooks, crayons, coloring pads, notebooks, pens, and school shirts paired with a set of shoes and socks.
Mayor Lazatin was joined by Vice Mayor Vicky Vega-Cabigting, City Councilors Atty. Arvin Suller, Dan Lacson, Edu Pamintuan, Alex Indiongco, Cris Cortez and Sangguniang Kabataan President Arnoah Mandani during the distribution of school gears.
