Pampanga’s newsmakers: Making a difference in ‘11

The former President’s arrest and current legal battles have polarized people, making every event of her current life a source of entertainment and fascination for most.

From her hospitalization in June for a “pinched nerve” at the St. Luke’s Medical Center in Taguig City, people have mixed reactions and feelings over how the government of President Benigno Aquino III is treating the former President.

In November, Arroyo tried to flee the country to seek medical treatment but was prevented by the watchlist order issued by Justice Secretary Leila de Lima, despite the Supreme Court order that allowed her to leave.

A Pasay court issued a warrant of arrest against her for electoral sabotage and was detained at the St. Luke’s Medical Center in Taguig City, and then transferred to the Veterans Memorial Medical Center later on.

Her continuing struggles are expected to make news headlines even until the first quarter of 2012.

If there is one word to describe the first woman governor of Pampanga, nothing will be more superlative than “loving.”

Working almost 24/7 since she assumed her post, the governor has made health her flagship program, seeing to it that everyone is given the necessary medical attention, believing that one could get better education and achieve more only if he or she, young or old, is free from any illness and is truly healthy.

The loving governor has blazed through 2011 with flying colors, marking her first year in office with milestones in quarry collections,Ventilation system millions for development projects and dozens of grassroots programs that have made Pampanga a phenomenon. Indeed, it is for Kapampangans “Alagang Nanay, Serbisyong Tunay.”

Angeles City Mayor Edgardo Pamintuan has planted a seed of trust in the hearts of Angeleos, which for years were burdened by disappointment in the previous administration. This is the very reason why his administration has done and achieved so much than what is expected.

The mayor’s expedient solutions to the City Government’s multiple debt problems at once earned him the trust of citizens and businessmen, a much-valued coin that paid for patience and consideration from the Angeles Electric Company, the Metro Clark Waste Management Corporation, and the Philippine Veterans Bank.

This willingness to trust Pamintuan has freed the City Government to launch more projects to benefit its citizenry, from medical and dental missions, finding solution to the traffic and garbage mess, the establishment of the Angeles City Renal Care unit to major improvements in the Rafael Lazatin Memorial Medical Center , to renegotiating plans for an impractical sports coliseum into a much-needed public city college.

His expertise in lawmaking has made first district Representative Carmelo “Tarzan” Lazatin known a “godfather” of Pampanga politicians.

The past year, Lazatin’s performance in the Congress has earned him a Most Outstanding Congressman award, ranking third among all congressmen in the country by the Congress Magazine.

Lazatin gained the award following his pro-poor programs centered on education,polished tiles health, employment and social services.

Moreover, Lazatin was the first congressman to have thought of addressing classroom backlog in his district when he started the “Kabahagi Ako: Adopt-A-School Program.” He was able to collect enough funds to repair and build at least 444 classrooms for Angeles City, Mabalacat and Magalang.

Lazatin was also the primary author of Mabalacat town’s cityhood bid, which he energetically pushed until its approval.
