Posted on April 23, 2020 by Admin

ANGELES CITY – Mayor Carmelo “Pogi” Lazatin Jr. has ordered the distribution of seedlings to all 33 barangays in the city beginning next week.

This is in line with the City Government’s “Luntiang Barangay Lingap” project, which hopes to make organic vegetables available in every Angeleño’s backyard.

Lazatin procured a total of P5.5 million worth of seeds for the project.

Seeds to be distributed are okra, sitaw, petchay, mustasa, upo, kalabasa, sili, tomato, and talong.

The seedlings will be distributed per household alongside the food packs from the City Government.

“Growing vegetables is a way of ensuring food sufficiency,” Lazatin said.
