Mayor Carmelo “Pogi” Lazatin, Jr. and the Angeles City government celebrate the Angeleña artists with Óbrang Bábáyi, a visual art exhibit, which opened March 1 at SM City Clark.
Óbrang Bábáyi,which features the work of 19 Angeleña artists, opens the series of events that the city government has lined up in celebration of National Women’s Month. The exhibit will run until March 31, 2022.
Mayor Lazatin and Vice Mayor Vicenta Vicky Vega Cabigting led the ribbon cutting ceremony, with SM City Clark Assistant Mall Manager Officer-in-Charge Lourdes Alarcon, Executive Assistant IV Reina Manuel, City Tourism Officer-in-Charge Anneleen Antonio-Sugui and Gender and Development Officer Mina Cabiles.
According to Mayor Lazatin, the exhibit aims to help struggling artists get back on their feet amid the new normal setting and to recognize the significant contributions of women in the community.
“Sa mga obra po na ito sumasalamin ang mga katangian at mahahalagang kontribusyon ng mga babae sa lipunan,” Lazatin said.
In line with National Women’s Month, the mayor vows to continue implementing programs that will uplift the welfare of Angeleñas.
“Patuloy po ang paglulunsad natin ng mga programang nangangalaga sa kapakanan at karapatan ng mga babae,” Lazatin furthered.
Among the programs being undertaken for women are livelihood programs, strengthening women’s desks in the barangay level, the establishment of solo parents affairs, and free health services.
