ANGELES CITY Angeles City Mayor Carmelo “Pogi” Lazatin Jr., distributed wooden chairs, tables, and school supplies to three day care centers here.
Lazatin distributed the school chairs and supplies to Cuayan Child Development Center, Sto. Niño Child Development Center, and Horeb River of Life Child Development Center.
Each school received 30 wooden chairs, five tables, and school supplies.
Lazatin said 2,213 day care students — 1,062 boys and 1,151 girls — will benefit from the donated wooden chairs.
One table can accommodate six students.
Aside from the school supplies and school furniture, the students will also receive Vitamin C and multivitamins.
