Pampanga First District Congressman Carmelo “Pogi” Lazatin Jr. extended support to two public schools in Mabalacat City as part of Brigada Eskwela 2026, continuing his long-standing tradition of assisting educational institutions in preparation for the opening of classes.

Lazatin personally delivered donations consisting of two buckets of paint, four paint brushes, and 10 sacks of cement each to San Joaquin Elementary School and Mabalacat Elementary School.

Joining the congressman during the turnover of donations were Political Affairs Officer III Mina Cabiles and Political Affairs Officer II Irish Bonus-Llego.

The donated materials will be used for the repair, maintenance, and improvement of school facilities to help provide a more conducive learning environment for students when classes resume.

Participation in Brigada Eskwela has been a yearly commitment of Lazatin since he was first elected as an Angeles City councilor in 2013, reflecting his continued support for the education sector and the welfare of learners and teachers.
