ANGELES CITY — Mayor Carmelo “Pogi” Lazatin, Jr. on May 22, 2024, shows his full support to the Katuwang sa Diwa at Gawa para sa Masaganang Ani at Mataas na Kita (Kadiwa) program of the Department of Agriculture.
On May 22 – 23, kiosks installed at the city hall compound showcasing basic commodities and services, including harvested crops, for sale. This marks the second time that the city government participated in the Kadiwa.
Kadiwa launched by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. through the DA to ensure the availability and affordability of food in areas with high demand and in communities with low-income families.
Lazatin, who has been pushing for food security as well the welfare of farmers and local businesses, noted that Kadiaw is aligned with the city government’s commitment to uplift programs for farmers and local businesses.
“We are proud to support initiatives that promote access to affordable food, especially for those in need,” the mayor said.
Assisting during the event are the members of the Angeles City Economic Development Investment and Promotions Office led by Irish Bonus-Llego with the supervision of chief adviser IC Calaguas and Executive Assistant IV Reina Manuel.
