Pamintuan is joined by mayors from Israel, Indonesia, South Korea, and Turkey as the Top 5 finalists from Asia.
“I guess the reason why we were able to get this far is that people recognized what we have been doing in the service of the Angelenos,” Pamintuan said.

EDPam’s Qualifications

Upon assuming the mayorship after an unprecedented margin of victory in 2010, Pamintuan prioritized programs concerning the intensification of community and public health, quality and affordable education, and environmental preservation.

With 19 dialysis machines and a total of 2427 treatments since its formal operation in less than a year, the RCU is now believed to be the largest dialysis center in the Philippines.

With concern to environmental management of solid wastes that encourages the city’s 33 barangays to build their respective Material Recovery Facility (MRF) to lessen waste and gain income for their villages through re-use of recyclable materials.

“These efforts and best practices gained praises and commendations from the local and national, public and private entities and are now being eyed by other Local Government Units (LGUs) as worthy of Emulation,” the mayor said.

“With the Seal of Good Housekeeping from the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), we were able to prove that we offer quality, admirable and transparent governance to the people.

I believe this has brought back the trust of our fellow businessmen and stakeholders back to the city government. “Pamintuan stressed.

Despite the decrease in the city’s internal revenue allotment (IRA) from the National Government, Pamintuan was still able to increase Angeles City’s local revenue for the succeeding years.

From P847 million in 2009, it even went up to P1 billion for the year 2011.
