CLARK FREEPORT--Congressman-elect Carmelo "Jonjon" Lazatin has vowed to push for the development of Clark International Airport (CRK) as the country's premier gateway.
Lazatin who defeated Congressman Joseller "Yeng" Guiao in the recent congressional race for the first district of Pampanga, said the full development and utilization of Clark airport will create more jobs for the people in the entire Central Luzon and other parts of the country.
"Dapat po ma-develop natin ang Clark [airport] para marami po tayong mabigyan ng trabaho," Lazatin said.
Lazatin said he will also file another bill in Congress creating the Clark International Airport Authority to continue Guiao's efforts to develop Clark as the main gateway of the country.
Aside from this, Lazatin also vowed to implement programs on health, sports development, land for the poor people and others.
Lazatin said he will also continue look into other bills his father, former Angeles City mayor and Congressman Carmelo "Tarzan" Lazatin, wanted to file during his stint as representative of the province.
"Titignan ko rin po yung mga bills na gustong ipasa ng aking ama noong siya po ay naging congressman," he said.
