Mayor Carmelo “Pogi” Lazatin, Jr. on May 24, 2023 distributed ₱1.059 million worth of cash incentives to Angeleño student athletes who competed and won in the recent Central Luzon Regional Athletic Association (CLRAA).
The distribution was held at the Legislative Building, where the 93 student-athlete winners were present and were personally greeted by Mayor Lazatin, with the assistance of the City Nutrition Office, led by Jermaine Jam Aguila.
“Congratulations student-athletes for bringing recognition and pride to Angeles City,” Lazatin said.
Angeles City has garnered 𝟮𝟭 𝗴𝗼𝗹𝗱, 𝟭𝟵 𝘀𝗶𝗹𝘃𝗲𝗿, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝟰𝟬 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘇𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗮𝗹𝘀 during the said annual sporting event last April 24 to 28.
Each gold medalist received ₱10,000; ₱7,000 for silver medalists and ₱5,000 each for bronze medalists.
“We have exhausted a budget from the Local School Board and funds from the Office of the Mayor to accommodate giving these cash incentives for them. They indeed deserve this,” Lazatin furthered.
Lazatin also believes that this young breed of student-athletes will soon represent not just Angeles City, but also the country.
“It is our administration’s ultimate dream to produce an Angeleño olympic medalist. It is not impossible, with these athletes who are very dedicated and hard working in the field of sports,” the mayor shared.
Lazatin vowed that he will continue to support and prioritize sports development amongst youth, also thanking Vice Mayor Vicenta Vega-Cabigting, City Council, and the Department of Education — Division of Angeles City, schools, teachers and coaches.
