ANGELES CITY–A top official from this city asked Pampanga First District Representative Carmelo “Tarzan” Lazatin not to “politically exploit sick people.”
City Administrator Dennis Albert Pamintuan was referring to the case of Ronalyn Dayrit, a former patient at the Rafael Lazatin Memorial Medical Center (RLMMC), whom the Lazatin camp said was not given discount despite a guarantee letter from the solon.
“Congressman Lazatin need not exploit the sick. There is no need for a guarantee letter from him. The city government took care of Ms. Dayrit. Because she is classified as an indigent, we gave her a hefty discount,” Pamintuan said.
According to records of the RLMMC (formerly Ospital Ning Angeles), Dayrit only paid P500 out of her total bill of P4,877.
“For us, the important thing is, the patient was given all the assistance she needed whether it came from this administration or from Lazatin’s camp,” Pamintuan said.
Pamintuan added that they did not utilize the P500,000 pork barrel of Congressman Lazatin allocated for RLMMC because there was no memorandum of agreement (MOA) between the solon and the city government.
“We did not touch the P500,000 allocation from Lazatin’s pork barrel supposedly for [RLMMC] because there was no MOA between him and city hall for the disposition of the funds. Technically, we can use the funds without Lazatin’s go signal, but we wanted clear cut guidelines for its use,” he said.
Pamintuan admitted Lazatin wrote the city government on July 24, 2012 informing of the issuance of a notice of cash allocation (NCA) in the name of the city government.
“I personally informed Lazatin’s staff that they should prepare a MOA covering the use of the allocation,” Pamintuan recalled adding that, “No one pursued it on their part. Now they are making a big issue out of it.”
According to him, the city accountant also raised the need of a MOA for the liquidation of the funds.
“It is quite clear that Lazatin and his ilk are exploiting every opportunity to score political points. However, this is again a cheap shot, as most of their accusations against the administration of Mayor Pamintuan,” Pamintuan said.
However, Lazatin’s Chief of Staff Calaguas said Pamintuan’s statement is “illogical.”
“Why would you ask the patient to pay P3,000 if, in the first place, the patient was presenting a guarantee letter which seeks to pay for the entire hospital bill?” Calaguas asked, “What kind of public service is that?”
“The point here is they refused the guarantee letter that will pay for the entire bill of P4,877 and instead asked an indigent patient to pay P500, as claimed by Atty. Pamintuan. Regardless of the discount they gave her, for an indigent patient, the difference between having your entire hospital bill lifted and having to pay P500 is very big.”
Calaguas added that the patient paid P3,000 and not P500.
The Lazatin camp said that they forwarded a letter dated July 24, 2012 to the office of Mayor Pamintuan which not only included details on the issuance of an NCA but also asked the Office of the Mayor for a checklist of requirements for the MOA signing.
A member of Lazatin’s staff coordinated last July with RLMMC Director Dr. Antonio Dizon and submitted a copy of the MOA, however, the staff was informed by Dr. Dizon that the MOA must be signed by Mayor Pamintuan. Lazatin’s office then decided to write a formal letter to the mayor but never received a reply.
“If they’re talking about public service, then with or without MOA they should accept the guarantee letter because the P500,000 fund from Congressman Lazatin’s Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) is already credited on the account of the Angeles City Government,” Calaguas said.

ANGELES CITY–Pampanga First District Representative Carmelo “Tarzan” Lazatin revealed that the city government led by Mayor Edgardo Pamintuan has more than P2.5 million debts in gasoline and oil supply.
Irish Calaguas, Lazatin’s Chief of Staff, said reports from Magtoto Petron Station located along McArthur Highway say that the city government owes it more than P2.5 million worth of gas and oil.
Calaguas said government vehicles have not been able to acquire gasoline because of the city government’s inability to pay their obligations to the gasoline station.
“The only reason that the mayor’s office can still load gasoline is because they are using petty cash,” Calaguas said.
According to the Commission on Audit (COA) Circular No.97-002 dated February 10, 1997, all payments must be made by check. Only payments in small amounts may be made by cash through the petty cash fund in the amount not exceeding P1,000.
In a statement, Pamintuan said the amount of gas and oil debts claimed by the Lazatin camp is “exaggerated.”
“I’m sure the amount is exaggerated as usual. But, as far as Magtoto is concerned, all vouchers are being processed and checks are being prepared. The supplier will be paid. There’s no problem in that,” Pamintuan said.
Moreover, Pamintuan added that Magtoto gas station is not their only supplier. He said all local government units in the country have accommodations and credit line from gasoline stations for easy service everyday but “the Angeles City government do pay at the end of the day.”
“Payments to our suppliers undergo due process. We’re even paying the debts of past administrations,” Pamintuan said.
The mayor branded Lazatin’s claim as “another malicious deed and black propaganda of Tarzan’s (Calaguas) aide.”
Lazatin’s Chief of Staff, Calaguas, said the use of petty cash for gasoline expenses is a violation of Commission on Audit (COA) Corcular No. 97-002.
The COA Annual Audit Report for the year 2011, dated June 18, 2012, show that for the year 2011, the Pamintuan administration reimbursed a total of P1,417,740.77 in gasoline expenses.
Part II, Section 7.6 of the COA Audit Report states that “personnel of different offices had purchased goods and services in cash although the amounts and nature thereof were not petty.”
Reports also say that aside from millions of gasoline debts, the city government also owes local newspaper Central Luzon Businessweek about P124,000 in advertisement debts.
“The city government has not been able to pay for the numerous advertisements they commissioned on our paper since October 2011,” said Mina Navarro-Cabiles, Businessweek’s Marketing Officer.
The commissioned advertisements mentioned by Cabiles include calendar of activities for Tigtigan Terakan Keng Dalan published from October 5 to 11, 2011 amounting to P10,000; congratulatory message for Businessweek’s sixth anniversary published from November 16 to 22, 2011 amounting to P6,000; a six-page publication of City Ordinance No. 302 from March 7 to 13, 2012 amounting to P90,000; publication of birthday greetings for Congressman Lazatin from June 27 to July 3, 2012 amounting to P12,000; and the publication of a congratulatory message for the 98th anniversary of Iglesia Ni Cristo from July 25 to 30, 2012, amounting to P6,000.
The Lazatin camp also revealed that they received insider reports saying that the salaries of the controversial Job Order Employees from September 16 to 30, amounting to P8 million, were only paid on October 5, after SM Prime Holdings paid their taxes worth P9,189,775.98 the day before (October 4).
“The administration keeps on denying the city’s bankruptcy and calling Congressman Lazatin a liar, but the evidence are everywhere,” Calaguas said.

Pampanga-The path to sainthood for three men who served in the same missions of St. Lorenzo Ruiz and soon-to-be canonized Blessed Pedro Calungsod has not been cleared even if their martyrdom was well-documented, according to a review of the book “Kapampangan Pioneers in the Philippine Church.”
The book authored by Dr. Luciano Santiago revealed that Juan de Guerra, a seaman from Betis, was beheaded three years after Ruiz was executed in Nagasaki, Japan, in 1637. Nicolas de Figueroa of Bacolor and Phelippe Sonsong of Macabebe, on the other hand, laid their lives defending the Jesuit mission that Fr. Diego Luis de San Vitores led in the Marianas in 1668.
Santiago said De Guerra, 33, at the time of his execution, was one of two Filipinos in a crew of 70 who accompanied four Macau diplomats sent to Japan to improve diplomatic relations.
But upon reaching Japan, they were all jailed for spreading the Christian religion. For refusing to renounce their faith, 61 of them were beheaded, including De Guerra. Thirteen others were sent back to Macau to carry the warning to King Philip.
According to Santiago, the church in Manila celebrated the martyrdom of De Guerra and his unnamed Filipino companion. By 1698 in Madrid, a book documented the execution based on accounts of survivors.
De Figueroa, a boy catechist, also suffered martyrdom but died fighting. A gang of 20 native Chamorros ambushed him and three lay missionaries on April 1, 1672.
When one of the missionaries was killed, De Figueroa cut off the head of the gang’s leader to scare away the rest. He and his two companions fled, with De Figueroa ending up in a village where he was seized and thrown off a cliff. His body was repeatedly speared.
The natives killed San Vitores and his assistant, Calungsod, the next morning, said Santiago, citing Jesuit records. A Jesuit tribunal was convened in 1673 in Guam to look into the possible beatification of De Figueroa and his companion.

This Pampanga resort hotel is different from other hotels in Clark Philippines or hotel in Angeles City. This Clark Hotel has large outdoor space for children to play and adults to enjoy some peace and quiet in the picnic grounds near the lake. Guests like the Hotel’s café breakfast garden which serves the best breakfast in Pampanga. Clearwater Resort has nice ambience and wide space, much better than the other hotels in Angeles City and Manila Philippines.

Many guests like staying at Clearwater Family Inn Hotel Room in the picnic grounds of this resort in Clark Pampanga. Some like the trees in the resort camping grounds of this place of leisure. One can stay in other hotels in Angeles City but it is not often one finds amenities and ambience like Clark, not like Clearwater Resort in Angeles City Philippines.

Clearwater is a highly recommended place of leisure and a most frequently visited hotel resort in Pampanga. This Clark hotel is a famous private resort outside Manila for corporate planning because of its exclusivity. Although the function rooms for planning and meetings are simple and basic, the surrounding gardens and ambience more than make up for what it lacks in lavish interior decoration. Clark is home to some of the best golf courses in Pampanga. Although golf continues to be one of the reasons why visitors from Manila travel to Pampanga, residents of Angeles City, Subic and Bulacan travel to Clark not just to play golf in one of the best golf courses in Pampanga but also to relax and unwind in the best resort in Philippines.

Those who are lucky enough to get a room at this lake resort in Clark Philippines will be able to enjoy the magical sunrise across the lake of Clearwater Resort at dawn. This is the only hotel in Clark Pampanga that guests can really enjoy viewing sunrise.
