Dr. Hazel Velasco Tumang stands at a pivotal moment in her life, driven by an unshakable sense of purpose to serve the people of Pampanga’s third district.
As an otolaryngologist or ENT (eye, nose, throat), her journey is not just a career shift but a destiny she believes has been charted for her—a call to transform lives and uplift her community through public service.
As the daughter of Mexico Mayor Teddy Tumang, Dr. Hazel grew up witnessing her father’s unwavering dedication to the Kapampangan people. Mayor Teddy’s pro-poor programs and philanthropic initiatives became a guiding light for her own aspirations. Inspired by his legacy, Dr. Hazel has embraced her path as destiny’s child, ready to bring the same heart and commitment to the people of Arayat, Bacolor, City of San Fernando, Mexico, and Sta. Ana.
Dr. Hazel’s passion for service is deeply rooted in her profession as a doctor. In her years of practice, she has honed the art of listening and responding to the needs of her patients with empathy and precision. This experience has prepared her to address the pressing issues of her district with the same dedication and care. Her vision for Pampanga’s third district is one where healthcare, education, and livelihood are prioritized, ensuring a better quality of life for every Kapampangan.
Her legislative agenda is a testament to her deep understanding of the community’s needs. At the forefront is healthcare, with plans to establish dialysis centers and improve access to medical services. She is equally passionate about supporting micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) to foster economic growth and resilience. In addition, she champions education, social welfare, agriculture, and housing, recognizing these as pillars for sustainable development.
Dr. Hazel’s commitment to ethical governance distinguishes her from traditional politicians. Her opponent, Board Member Mica Gonzales, represents a political family deeply entrenched in the construction industry, raising concerns about potential conflicts of interest. In contrast, Dr. Hazel’s clean record and independence from private business ties ensure that her leadership will remain focused solely on the welfare of her constituents and not solely on infrastructure.
Her destiny-driven candidacy is not just about winning an election—it’s about reshaping the future of Pampanga’s third district. She believes that true public service is about putting people first, guided by compassion, integrity, and accountability. As she takes on this new role, she carries with her the lessons of her father and the values instilled in her through her medical career, all while paving her own path as a servant-leader.
At a time when trust in government is fragile, Dr. Hazel offers a refreshing alternative. Her journey as a physician and her dedication to her district’s well-being reflect her unwavering resolve to fulfill her destiny. The third district of Pampanga, she believes, is her calling—a place where she can make the most meaningful impact, guided by her vision of a brighter and more equitable future for all.
Dr. Hazel Velasco Tumang’s purpose aligns with the hopes and dreams of her people. She stands ready to answer this call of destiny, committed to creating lasting change and building a legacy of service for generations to come.
