ANGELES CITY – Mayor Carmelo “Pogi” Lazatin Jr. appealed to the members of the Metro Angeles Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Inc. (MACCII) to prioritize Angeleños in providing job opportunities amid the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
He discussed this during his meeting with MACCII representatives on May 20, where he asked them to hire 80% of their workers from Angeles City and 20% workers from nearby towns and cities.
“Pinulong ko po ang mga miyembro ng business sector sa Angeles City upang makiusap sa kanila na maging prayoridad ang mga Angeleños na makapagtrabaho sa kanilang mga establisyemento,” Lazatin said.
With this, Lazatin also vowed to seek the help of Angeleños to patronize local goods produced by businesses in the city.
Representatives of MACCII will also release their office guidelines aligned to that of the City Government, in accordance with the Inter-Agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Diseases and Department of Health.
They also discussed the Interim Guidelines on Workplace Prevention and Control of COVID-19 wherein private establishments that have been allowed to operate during the Modified Enhanced Community Quarantine are enjoined to test their employees for COVID-19.
