Around 1,000 indigent residents of Angeles City each received P3,000 in cash assistance on November 8, 2024, from Senators Pia and Alan Peter Cayetano, facilitated by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD). The distribution, held at Barangay Pandan Covered Court, is part of DSWD’s Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situations (AICS) program.
Vice Mayor Vicky Vega-Cabigting represented Mayor Carmelo “Pogi” Lazatin Jr., who expressed his gratitude to the Cayetano siblings for their continued support to Angeles City.
The AICS program serves as a safety net to aid individuals and families facing crises, such as medical emergencies or the death of a loved one.
City Councilors Crisanto Cortez, JC Aguas, Raco Del Rosario, Marino Bañola, Barangay Pandan Captain Cors Alejandrino, and other local officials were present during the distribution.
