ANGELES CITY — Mayor Carmelo “Pogi” Lazatin, Jr. has officially launched the third year of the city’s school supplies distribution program for Day Care students, which began on June 16, 2025 and will run until June 27.
On the first day of distribution, 492 Day Care learners from eight Day Care centers received free school kits consisting of shoes, socks, t-shirts, and backpacks with supplies—all courtesy of the city government.
Mayor Lazatin personally led the distribution at the following centers: Sapalibutad Day Care Center, Sapalibutad I, and Sapalibutad II in Barangay Sapalibutad; Pulung Cacutud Day Care Center, Epza I, and Epza II in Barangay Pulung Cacutud; and Cutud Day Care Center and Northville 15 Day Care Center in Barangay Cutud.
“Every Angeleño child deserves to be ready for school,” said Mayor Lazatin. “This program ensures that even our youngest learners start the year fully equipped—bags, uniforms, shoes, and all.”
The program is being implemented with the supervision of Chief Adviser IC Calaguas and Executive Assistant IV Reina Manuel, along with the support of the Angeles City Economic Development and Investment Promotions Office (ACEDIPO), led by Irish Bonus-Llego, and the City Nutrition Office, headed by Francis De Guzman.
Distribution to the remaining Day Care centers citywide is scheduled to be completed by the end of June.
First launched in 2023, the program is part of Mayor Lazatin’s long-term commitment to early childhood education. Since its inception, a total of 6,694 Day Care students have benefited from the initiative.
