Financial Assistance for PWDs

Sixty-nine persons with disabilities from Barangay San Jose received P1,000 cash assistance each on October 18, 2021 through a house-to-house visit in Angeles City.

Under the leadership of Mayor Carmelo ‘Pogi’ Lazatin, Jr. allotted P2.5 million under Supplemental Budget No. 2 for the said assistance.

Members of Persons with Disabilities Office, headed by Alma Vital, led the distribution of the cash aid with the staff of Gender and Development Office and City Social Welfare and Development Office.

The welfare of the PWDs has been one of the priority aims of Mayor Lazatin. A total of 2,361 indigent Persons with Disabilities are set to receive P1,000 financial assistance each from the city government. One hundred thirty-nine bedridden PWDs, who were visited last August via house-to-house for their Covid-19 vaccines, already received their P1,000 cash aid, amounting to P139,000.

It can be recalled that Mayor Lazatin has been promoting PWD-friendly premises in the City Hall by putting up necessary structures like an elevator and ramps.
