The Angeles City government, through the Office of First District Representative Carmelo "Pogi" Lazatin, Jr., reaffirmed its commitment to public education during the induction of new Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) officers in Barangay Tabun on July 24, 2026. Chief Political Affairs Officer Reina Manuel represented Congressman Lazatin at the event, delivering a message underscoring the vital role of parents in shaping the future of local schools and the community.
Strengthening the Partnership Between Parents and Schools
During the ceremony, Manuel emphasized that PTA officers serve as secondary parents for the entire school community and are key partners of the Department of Education (DepEd) in ensuring quality education for students. She conveyed Congressman Lazatin's commitment to supporting programs and initiatives that uplift the welfare of both students and parents across the First District of Pampanga, reinforcing the district's ongoing dedication to educational development.
A Commitment to Local Education and Community Growth
The induction of the new PTA officers marks an important step in fostering collaboration between parents, teachers, and the local government—a partnership that is essential for creating a supportive and responsive learning environment. The Lazatin office's continued attention to education reflects its broader vision of community development, grounded in the belief that when parents and schools work together, the entire community benefits. Barangay Tabun, located within Angeles City's First District, is one of several communities where such partnerships are being strengthened to ensure local education remains a shared priority.
