Through the program \u201cKalye Serye with Mayor SM Matro,\u201d the local chief executive engaged directly with Tanze\u00f1os outside the confines of City Hall, listening to their concerns, receiving requests, and providing immediate action.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mayor Matro emphasized that the initiative is designed to make government more accessible and responsive. \u201cPublic service should not be limited to the four walls of an office. By being present in the community, we ensure that no Tanze\u00f1o is left behind in receiving care, support, and solutions,\u201d he stated.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The program reflects the administration\u2019s commitment to Serbisyo at Malasakit, strengthening the bond between the local government and its constituents. By holding office in the streets, Mayor Matro demonstrates that governance is best delivered where the people are\u2014close to their homes, workplaces, and everyday lives.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Residents welcomed the initiative, noting that it fosters transparency, accountability, and genuine concern for the welfare of the community. The LGU assured that Kalye Serye will continue to be implemented across different barangays, bringing government services closer to every household in Tanza.&nbsp;&nbsp;(CTJ Team)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tanza, Cavite &ndash; In a unique approach to public service, Mayor Archangelo &ldquo;SM&rdquo; Matro took his office to the streets<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5655,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[46,8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5654","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cavite","category-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
