Mayor Carmelo “Pogi” Lazatin, Jr. officially inaugurated two additional computer laboratories at the Governor Rafael Lazatin Integrated School in Barangay Sapalibutad on January 15, 2025. This is still part of the city’s ongoing efforts to enhance educational infrastructure.

Joined by Vice Mayor Vicky Vega-Cabigting, members of the City Council, and Department of Education (DepEd) officials, Mayor Lazatin led the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the fifth and sixth computer labs opened this year.

This addition comes after the recent opening of two computer labs each at Sapangbato National High School and Malabanias Integrated School, bringing the total number of newly established labs to six.

Mayor Lazatin is also set to inaugurate three more computer labs at the Rafael Lazatin Memorial High School in Barangay Balibago on January 16, 2025, marking a significant step in the city’s ICT modernization efforts.

Under Mayor Lazatin’s leadership, a total of 16 state-of-the-art computer labs have been built and are now fully operational. Each lab is equipped with 40 computers, as well as computer tables, chairs, printers, air conditioning units, smart televisions, and fiber-optic internet connections. These facilities are part of the city’s ICT Modernization Program, which aims to improve the student-to-computer ratio and enhance digital learning experiences for students across Angeles City.
