Congressman Carmelo “Jon” Lazatin II is being hailed as a “unifying factor” in his bid for mayor of Angeles City, uniting opposing figures during his barangay visits.
Vice Mayor Vicky Vega-Cabigting noted, “It’s a rare feat to see a leader uniting opposing figures in support of his bid. That says a lot about mayorable Jon Lazatin. People love and respect him.”
Political village rivals have shown Lazatin support in his visits to the barangays, showing his ability to bridge divides and promote alliance.
