ANGELES CITY \u2013 Mayor Edgardo Pamintuan now joins the ranks of the best mayors around the globe as he was ranked eighth among the top 10 awardees for the 2012 World Mayor Prize.
\nThe City Mayors Foundation, organizers of the World Mayor Project, came out with the top 10 awardees on Tuesday who were judged based primarily by the arguments and persuasiveness of testimonials bestowed upon the chosen mayors.
\nThe total number of votes cast was only considered as a secondary factor as, according to the World Mayor website, \u201cbasing judgment on numbers alone would unfairly disadvantage mayors from smaller towns.\u201d
\nDespite its relatively small size against huge cities like Bilbao, Spain; El Paso, Texas; and Quebec City in Canada, the city mayor from Angeles still managed to acquire several nominations and testimonies from voters in the city and the country as well.
\nIn an interview, Pamintuan said he was thankful of all the support from all the Angele\u00f1os and local government employees who helped him take the eighth place.
\n\u201cI am truly grateful of all the hard work that the City Government employees and officials have shown. To all the city councilors headed by Vice Mayor Vicky Vega-Cabigting, department, office and program heads, barangay chief executives and kagawads (councilors), I couldn\u2019t have achieved such an award without your support,\u201d he said.
\nPamintuan is the only mayor from the Philippines to join the awardees, and is one out of three in Asia.
\nAccording to World Mayor\u2019s website, Pamintuan was chosen for his \u201cfor specific achievements, including being the first mayor to build a city college providing low-cost education; the planting of 200,000 trees with help from volunteers, which apparently will help avoid flooding; the cleaning of major drainages and for modernizing the city hospital, including installing dialysis facilities.\u201d
\nCongratulations
\nCity of San Fernando Mayor Oscar Rodriguez, who is also the national president of the League of Cities of the Philippines (LCP), congratulated Pamintuan.
\n\u201cWe are happy for Mayor Pamintuan\u2019s inclusion in top ten World Mayor Prize. Another feather in the cap of Kapampangans and Filipinos,\u201d Rodriguez said.
\nOne testimonial from Gerald M. in Angeles City lauded Pamintuan for his firm commitment to serving the public.
\n\u201cHis passion to public service has contributed to the betterment of our city. He knows the needs of his fellow men and he has never failed to provide for all these needs,\u201d states the testimony.
\nCarla, also from Angeles City, then complements this by citing Pamintuan\u2019s dedication to developing healthcare through the 19 dialysis machines in the city\u2019s Renal Care Unit.
\n\u201cMayor Edgardo ‘ed’ Pamintuan had help the city to regain its natural beauty, he open a lot of opportunity for the locals to have business and working job for other locals as well. When it comes to health, he is the one responsible for a less cost dialysis center for our less fortunate locals now they have their dialysis in a lower cost price\u2026 [sic]\u201d Carla said.
\nAnother testimony from Jonel G. praised Pamintuan for the establishment of the City College of Angeles.
\n\u201cEdgardo Pamintuan was the mayor of my choice because finally after graduating to high school 6yrs ago and wanting to go to college to continue my study only this mayor granted my wish and the wish of thousands poor young talented, brave and intelligent Angele\u00f1os who aimed to finish their studies\u2026 [sic]\u201d Jonel said.
\nSeveral testimonies from the website also came outside Angeles City and outside the Philippines.
\n\u201c\u2026Mayor Ed Pam has been true to his promises. Since his comeback as mayor in 2010, all the policies and plans he’s had for the city have put Angeles back in the international map, with reference to development, implementation and governance. He deserves to win and be recognized for all his efforts and achievements.\u201d says Carla from the Philippines.
\n\u201cMayor Ed Pamintuan is an honest and very capable mayor. He is a good administrator and serves the people of his community with compassion and adherence to the principles of social justice and good governance.\u201d states Willy M. from outside the country.
\nThe City Mayors Foundation is an international think tank dedicated to urban affairs aimed to promote strong and prosperous cities as well as good local government.
\nThe World Mayor Prize is given every two years to a mayor who has made outstanding contributions to his and her community and has developed a vision for urban living and working that is relevant to towns and cities across the world.
