Pamintuan lands 8th place in World Mayor award

Mayors from Israel, Indonesia, South Korea, and Turkey, including Pamintuan from the Philippines comprised the Top 5 finalists from Asia.
Pamintuan qualified to the competition since he prioritized the intensification of programs concerning community and public health, quality and affordable education, and environmental preservation.
According to World Mayor’s website, Pamintuan was chosen for his “for specific achievements, including: being the first mayor to build a city college providing low-cost education; the planting of 200, 000 trees with help from volunteers, which apparently will help avoid flooding; the cleaning of major drainages and for modernizing the city hospital, including installing dialysis facilities.”
In a text message, Pamintuan thanked God, the League of Cities of the Philippines (LCP) staff and the League of Mayors, among others, for helping him win the prize.
“Thank you, Lord, for giving the Philippines another top mayor prize. Thank you LCP staff and the League of Mayors for helping me achieve all this accomplishments in less than a year,” Pamintuan said.
Pamintuan also thanked the late Interior Secretary Jesse Robredo for “motivating me to work harder against all odds.”
“[Thank you also] to my wonderful staff and officers at city hall who contributed immensely in the successful implementation of my programs,” Pamintuan said.
City of San Fernando Mayor Oscar Rodriguez, who is also the national president of the LCP, congratulated Pamintuan.
“We are happy for Mayor Pamintuan’s inclusion in top ten World Mayor Prize. Another feather in the cap of Kapampangans and Filipinos,” Rodriguez said.
Rodriguez was also recognized as one of the top ten world mayor awardees in 2005.
