Angeles City Mayor Carmelo Lazatin Jr. is poised to award Medals of Excellence to student achievers in elementary and high schools in both private and public schools in the city.
The mayor said the medals were proof of the exceptional work of top-performing Angeles students in the city.
“Recognizing the hard work of the top performing Angeleño students in both academic and extra-curricular activities is our way to motivate them in further valuing the essence of education,” Lazatin said.
Recipients of the awards will come from private and public schools of all academic levels – elementary, junior high school, and senior high school solely located within the jurisdiction of Angeles City.
Awardees are expected to receive the “Carmelo ‘Pogi’ Lazatin, Jr.’s Medal of Excellence”, a certificate of recognition, and financial assistance from the Angeles City government which shall serve as a tangible means of declaring the student’s conformity to the criteria set by the mayor.
The Angeles City Economic Development and Investment Promotions Office (ACEDIPO), headed by Irish Bonus-Llego, will facilitate the collection of entries from the interested elementary and high school institutions, where they will choose a candidate from a sample of the top 10 percent of their graduating students.
