Congressman provides multicabs to villages
May 3, 2011
ANGELES CITY β First district Representative Carmelo “Tarzan” Lazatin on Sunday deployed at least P7.1 million worth of multicabs to different villages in his district.
The 25 units of multicabs were given to pre-selected villages in the city, and the towns of Mabalacat and Magalang.
Joining Lazatin during the turnover rites were Angeles Mayor Edgardo Pamintuan and Vice Mayor Vicky Vega Cabigting, Mabalacat Mayor Marino Morales and Magalang Mayor Romulo Pecson.
Lazatin said the distribution of multicabs aims to provide immediate transportation, especially during emergencies.
Angeles City received 10 multicabs; Mabalacat, six and Magalang, nine vehicles. The multicabs cost P279,000 per unit.
The recipients of the first batch of vehicles are the villages that have scored the highest votes for the congressman during the May 2010 elections.
βWe are giving these out to those who ensured our victory during the last elections, but other villages in my district will soon be receiving their respective multicabs,β Lazatin said.
According to the congressman, there will be two more batches of multicabs to be given in July and December this year.

βThis is a clear manifestation that indeed all political leaders in Angeles City, Mabalacat and Magalang are gearing towards one mission and vision,β Pamintuan said.
Village chiefs who are recipients of the multicabs expressed their appreciation to Lazatin, saying that the vehicles will be of great assistance to their respective villages. (Reynaldo G. Navales)
