Lazatin distributes more school supplies, chairs

ANGELES CITY Mayor Carmelo “Pogi” Lazatin Jr., continues to distribute wooden chairs, tables, and school supplies to five daycare centers here.

Lazatin distributed the school furniture and supplies to Child Development centers in Sto. Rosario, Belen Homesite, Salapungan, San Ignacio, and Holy Spirit on February 22.

Apart from the school supplies and school furniture, the students also received Vitamin C and multivitamin supplements.

All parents of enrolled daycare students also received grocery packages from the city government. The grocery packages include five kilos of rice and canned goods.

To date, Lazatin has already delivered school items to 34 daycare centers.

He said 2,213 daycare students — 1,062 boys and 1,151 girls — will be provided a wooden chair each. Meanwhile, one table can occupy 6 students.

The wooden tables and chairs that were distributed are locally produced and made by IBAC Woodcrafts.

"This is because we're not just putting a premium on the educational programs of the city but also promoting Gawang Angeleño products," Lazatin said.
