ANGELES CITY – Mayor Edgardo Pamintuan and Vice Mayor Bryan Matthew Nepomuceno led the turnover of fourteen (14) dump trucks to the third batch of recipient-barangays during Monday’s flag raising rites at the City Hall.
The ceremony marks the completion of the city government’s distribution of garbage trucks.
“We have successfully turned-over all the garbage trucks to our 33 barangays. Our goal here is to assist and equip our villages with equipment necessary for their solid waste management campaign,” said Mayor Pamintuan.
The brand new Hino garbage trucks were formally received by all the village chiefs and councilmen of each respective barangays.
Vice Mayor Nepomuceno reminded the village officials to take good care of the vehicles as these will be of great help to bolster the city’s waste disposal campaign.
“We were never picky on which barangay shall receive these garbage trucks for we believe that the problem of one barangay is the problem of the city as a whole. We are all in this together since cooperation in any government undertaking is indispensable,” the vice mayor said.
Furthermore, the mayor pitched a hint on the groundbreaking of the first Waste-2Worth facility in the Philippines this year which will be built in the city.
It is remembered that in 2017, Pamintuan inked a Joint Venture Agreement (JVA) with Procter & Gamble for the establishment of the facility which is seen to help the city intensify its ecological solid waste management and cut government’s spending on waste disposal.
“What we can do now, we can do better; what we can do five years from now, we are doing it here. I would like to express my gratitude to our villages who have been painstakingly performing their mandates as front-liners of government service,” the five-term mayor said.
“We will continue the legacy of good change. I may not be here as your mayor but rest assured that the interest of the city government for development for its people will be forever etched,” Pamintuan said.
Joining Pamintuan and Nepomuceno in the turnover ceremony are Hino Motors Philippines – Pampanga Chief Operating Officer Marco Hizon, Development Bank of the Philippines Senior Manager Regin Soliman, and Account Officer Aileen Candelaria.
