ANGELES CITY -- Councilor Carmelo “Pogi” Lazatin, Jr. has vowed to support day-care centers in the city saying that pre-school stage is a crucial period on a child’s education.

In line with his education program, Lazatin recently distributed 33 television sets in day care centers (DCC) in various barangays.

Lazatin said he hopes the children attending will have more access to visual learning materials that are crucial for their formative years.

“The pre-school stage is a crucial period in a child’s education,” Lazatin explained. “I just want to help in whatever I can to make sure that these kids receive a holistic one.”

Lazatin is set to distribute additional television sets to day care and health centers in the coming days.

Last month, Lazatin donated 31 garbage containers and 18 cans of paint to Barangay San Jose in support of the village’s “Search for the Cleanest and Greenest Street” project.

“Naniniwala po ako na isang magandang initiative ang pagkakaroon ng ‘Search for the Cleanest and Greenest Street’ dahil nahihikayat nito ang mga mamamayan na makiisa sa mga proyektong pang-kalikasan ng barangay,” said Lazatin.

Lazatin is a supporter of environment projects and policies and solid waste management being one of the main pillars of his “Four-Point Agenda.”

He is the main proponent of an ordinance regulating the use of plastic bags and polystyrene foam (styrofoam) in the city.
