Angeles City Mayor Carmelo “Pogi” Lazatin, Jr. is set to receive the Climate Hero Award from the Climate Change Commission, in line with his efforts and dedication to enhance climate resilience and sustainability in the city.
This is in reference to a letter dated August 1, 2024 from Commissioner Albert Dela Cruz, Sr. recognizing Lazatin’s steadfast commitment to environmental stewardship and resilience-building efforts.
In the said letter, Dela Cruz stated, “We believe your achievements not only benefit Angeles City but also serve as inspiration to cities globally.”
Dela Cruz also mentioned Mayor Lazatin’s visionary leadership and commitment to sustainable urban development which garnered international acclaim, particularly with the city’s selection by UN Habitat as a partner in the Building Climate Resiliency through Urban Plans and Designs Project.
The said awarding is set on August 27, 2024.
It has been a flagship program of Mayor Lazatin to push for environmental protection and preservation, especially with the massive reforestation of the Angeles City Watershed which to date has 79,715 trees planted.
This project is being supervised by his trusted Chief Adviser IC Calaguas and Executive Assistant IV Reina Manuel.
