Pamintuan nominated in 2012 World Mayor Award
ANGELES CITY — Mayor Edgardo Pamintuan has been included in this year’s nominees for the World Mayor Award.
The World Mayor award is given every two years to a mayor “who has made outstanding contributions to his/her community and has developed a vision for urban living and working that is relevant to towns and cities across the world.”
According to Pamintuan, being nominated in the prestigious World Mayor award is already an achievement.
“I am not expecting too much on this search, I just continue the work that I do as mayor of Angeles City as there are still a lot of things we need to undertake to fulfill all our campaign promises and those that are stipulated in our Contract with the Angeleños,” Pamintuan said.
Barely 21 months in office, Pamintuan has made significant accomplishments as city mayor.
He was able to stabilize the city’s financial condition with increased local revenues, solve the traffic and garbage woes and improve the delivery of services to his constituents.
A significant project that was implemented last year was the establishment of the Angeles City Renal Care Unit (ACRCU) that currently houses 19 dialysis machines and caters to poor Angeleños who are suffering from renal diseases.
The other project, which Pamintuan hopes to be operational this year, is the opening of the City College of Angeles (CCA) which will benefit indigent students who cannot afford the rising costs of education in private college institutions.
According to a report from social news network, Rappler.com, the 2012 edition of the awards will have 88 mayors around the world as initial nominees.
Aside from Pamintuan, Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio of Davao City also made it in this year’s list of nominees.
The report added that the initial list of 88 nominees may still increase, as nominations from the public will still be accepted until May. The nominees will be trimmed down to 25 finalists in June.
The nomination is done by accomplishing an online nomination form, in which a person has to state the reasons for nominating the city official of his or her choice.
The winner will be determined and announced by the City Mayors Foundation, an international think tank on urban affairs, in December.
Since the establishment of the awards in 2004, five nominated city mayors from the Philippines made it to the final list of nominees, with three of them ranking among the top 10:
* 2005: Oscar Rodriguez of San Fernando, Pampanga (still incumbent mayor) – ranked 4th
* 2006: Jejomar Binay of Makati City (now Philippine vice president) – ranked 4th
* 2006: Carmelo Lazatin of Angeles City, Pampanga (now Pampanga representative) – finalist
* 2008: Marides Fernando of Marikina City (former mayor) – ranked 7th
* 2010: Jesse Robredo of Naga City, Camarines Sur (now Interior and Local Government secretary) – finalist

Philippines wedding planners and wedding reception caterers recommend Clark Philippines as this year’s premier destination for beach weddings and garden receptions. Wedding couples in Philippines no longer prefer traditional indoor venues and hotel ballrooms for wedding receptions in Manila, Angeles City, Subic and Clark Freeport.
Selecting a good and safe event venue in Philippines is not that easy. Many public event venues in resort hotels in Philippines can’t deliver assurances of safety and security. This exposes our corporate and private events to risks that are not acceptable to us as event organizers in Philippines.
