CANDABA - Local officials here had mourned and expressed condolences with the bereaved family of the late former Mayor Felix Lazaro who was recalled by the people as a down to earth public servant.
The late Lazaro served as a mayor of this municipality in 1984 to 1986. He was then a resident of Barangay Pulong Palazan.
Ex-Mayor Ben Gatus narrated that Lazaro is among the first local leaders who advocated for clean and honest municipal government which later on brought remarkable improvement in town.
"Noong una, siya ang bise alkalde natin dito sa Candaba, at ng mamatay ang dating Mayor Martin, siya ang pumalit bilang alkalde ng ating bayan at napamahalaan niyang mabuti ang ating mga kababayan sa kanyang panahon," Gatus said.
Annie Gatbonton, Lazaro's secretary shared that the latter's contribution to Candaba will always be remembered by the people who witnessed his dedication and hard works.
"Siya po ang nasa likod ng pagpapagawa ng ating palengke at pagsasaayos ng ating bayan. Siya ang humikayat at nakiusap sa mga nagtitinda noon dito sa tabi ng munisipyu para gamitin ang bagong gawang palengke," he noted.
Mayor Rene Maglanque for his part said that, "aalis ang ating dating mayor pero iiwan niya ang kanyang mabubuting alaala sa puso ng ating mga kababayan. Iiwan niya ang kanyang pangalan na nakamarka sa pader ng ating munisipyu."
