ANGELES CITY — \u201cWe delivered what we promised.\u201d
\nThis was the statement of Mayor Edgardo Pamintuan reporting his administration\u2019s accomplishments for the year 2012.
\nThe mayor noted that his administration accomplished what has been promised in the Contract with the Angele\u00f1os (CWA).
\n\u201cThe year 2012 was undoubtedly a successful one despite the challenges that our city faced,\u201d Pamintuan said.
\nThe mayor reported that as of December 2012, at least 95 percent of the City Government\u2019s CWA commitment is fulfilled.
\nThe CWA is an eight-point program with 43 components aimed at strengthening the City Government\u2019s commitment to better serve the Angele\u00f1os through a system of governance that is progressive and people-centered.
\nThese essential social programs include: education, transparency and good governance, environmental protection and conservation, economic development, health, public market, peace and order and barangay development.
\nOn Education
\nThe establishment of the City College of Angeles (CCA) is a major accomplishment of the current administration as it ensures affordable yet quality college education for the local youth.
\nA total of 376 students are enrolled now, with 95 academic scholars and 28 indigent scholars. The indigent scholars are provided with a monthly cash assistance of P1,000.
\nBudget allocation for the city\u2019s scholarship program increased from P5 million to P6.5 million, allowing additional scholars to enjoy subsidized education.
\nFor 2012, 382 students were granted scholarship through the city\u2019s Public Employment Services Office (Peso).
\nOn Healthcare
\nPamintuan\u2019s special concern with the city\u2019s health issues took manifestation in his administration\u2019s prioritization of the city\u2019s public hospital facilities.
\nThese include improvement and renovation on Rafael Lazatin Memorial Medical Center (RLMMC) formerly Ospital Ning Angeles\u2019 (ONA) physical structure.
\nFull medical departments have been formed and ONA\u2019s formal registration of application to the Department of Health for accreditation as a tertiary hospital is ready for submission.
\nPamintuan\u2019s initiative and active coordination with private groups in the national and international level such as the World Medical Relief Inc. resulted in donations and funds for the purchase of necessary medical equipments for RLMMC and the Angeles City Renal Care Unit (ACRCU).
\nAs of December 2012, a total of 224 patients benefited from the free facilities of the ACRCU.
\nThese amounted to a total of 10,516 treatments. All patients were provided with PhilHealth coverage sponsored by the City Government.
\nThe ACRCU has 19 dialysis machines, compared to the Philippine General Hospital (PGH), which has only 10 machines and the Kidney Center Institute (KCI), which has only seven dialysis machines, making our renal center, the most updated and most equipped dialysis center in the nation.
\nAside from the 246 patients who benefitted from the RLMMC\u2019s major surgeries, the Agyu Tamu Medikalinga Center in Barangay Sto. Domingo has served 2,027 patients since it opened on July 13, 2012.
\nThe medical facility schedules minor surgical operations every Friday, free of charge to indigent Angele\u00f1os.
\nAdditionally, cataract removal operations have also started with over 363 patients served.
\nFree medicines are also provided to the citizens with a total of 103,386 already benefitting from them.
\nTo date, the City Government has granted 20,062 Angelenos with PhilHealth cards with one-year free premiums.
\nWith the PhilHealth ID cards, the indigent families may now avail themselves of medical care benefits ranging from allowances for hospital room and board fees, drugs and medicines, x-ray and other laboratory procedures as well as allowances for the professional fees of attending physicians.
\nThese benefits may be availed of during confinement in PhilHealth-accredited hospitals. Apart from these inpatient benefits, the cards also entitle them to outpatient diagnostic benefits from designated accredited health centers in the city.
\nEconomic Development and Stability
\nNo new taxes were imposed on the public since 2010 but the City Government managed to increase its revenue collection.
\nThis policy provided for a favorable business climate in Angeles, encouraging positive investment flow within the city\u2019s business community.
\nEnvironmental Preservation
\nAngeles City is setting its sights toward a \u201czero waste city,\u201d now establishing nine material recovery facilities (MRF) in several villages — an unprecedented development for Angeles.
\nThe city also is ever active in its aim to plant one million trees to combat climate change.
\nHeaded by Task Force One Million Trees, a total of 209,538 trees have been planted around the city for the past two years.
\nThe task force achieved this with the cooperation of various non-government organizations, public groups and private partners in the city.
\nUrban greening projects have also been initiated in six villages, five private subdivisions and several public schools in the city as well.
\nRegaining the People\u2019s Trust
\nA solid manifestation of the sound practices of the local government in governance, transparency, participation and accountability are the awards that it continuously receives from various government and private award-giving bodies.
\nUnder Mayor Pamintuan, the City Government of Angeles received the Seal of Good Housekeeping award from the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) for two consecutive years and the prestigious and most coveted Gawad Pamana ng Lahi award.
\nIt is also the top City Government in Central Luzon and number six nationwide in the implementation of the Local Governance Performance Management System (LGPMS).
\nAside from the DILG awards, Pamintuan was recently named as one of the seven most outstanding mayors of the Philippines by Superbrands International, a prominent organization of product branding with presence in around 88 countries worldwide.<\/p>\n

He is the only Filipino vying for the World Mayor Award 2012. He is one of Asia\u2019s Top 5 nominees, and among the Top 25 nominated from around the world.
\nThe winner of the said award will be announced on January 8.
