ANGELES CITY -- The Angeles City Government, under the administration of Mayor Carmelo “Pogi” Lazatin Jr., on September 29, 2021 administered the first dose of vaccine of Lolo Pops.
Angelito Calingo Gino-Gino, 72, a resident of Barangay Salapungan, Angeles City, is known by “Lolo Lito” or “Lolo Pops” to his avid customers for selling lollipop candies, polvoron and pastillas around the city despite his age.
It can be recalled last June 2021 that Lazatin and Executive Assistant IV Reina Manuel coordinated with the Gender and Development Office, headed by Mina Cabiles, and Angeles City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office, led by Rudy Simeon, to deliver the medicines of Lolo Pops.
Lolo Pops was also given financial assistance for his medical needs.
“Sa abot po ng ating makakaya, ipaprayoridad natin ang kapakanan ng mga senior citizens, lalo na ngayong pandemya na mabakunahan silang lahat,” Lazatin said.
(To the best of our ability, we will prioritize the welfare of senior citizens, especially in this pandemic to vaccinate them all.) (Angeles City Information Office)
