Opposition Councilor Carmelo “Pogi” Lazatin, Jr. on January 17 joins his brother, Pampanga First District Representative Carmelo “Jon-Jon” Lazatin, II in leading the turn-over ceremony of Multi-purpose hall (Covered Court) for Cutud Elementary School, Barangay Cutud, Angeles City.
A household name in public service, the Lazatins have been known to implement quality infrastructure projects throughout the First District of Pampanga, tracing back to the term of the late Lazatinย family patriarch, Carmelo โTarzanโ Lazatin, who served as First District Representative of Pampanga from 1987 to 1998 and 2007 to 2013 and Mayor of Angeles City for three consecutive terms from 1998 to 2007.
Pogi Lazatin, who is currently running for mayor of Angeles City, stressed that having close ties between the mayor and the first district representative is beneficial to the city as it makes national projects more accessible.
Earlier, Pogi Lazatin also joined his brother during the groundbreaking ceremony of 12 four-storey classrooms for Dr. Clemente N. Dayrit Sr. Memorial High School.
