TANZA, Cavite — Mayor SM Matro personally visited several local talipapa areas in Tanza to ensure the accuracy of weighing scales and to protect the welfare of consumers.
During his rounds, the mayor inspected the weighing scales used by vendors and reminded them of the importance of honesty in trade. After the inspection, Mayor Matro bought out several meat products and immediately distributed them to residents he met while shopping at the market.
According to Mayor Matro, maintaining honesty in livelihood and business is essential.
“Are you not afraid? Let’s check the weighing scales first. That’s quite excessive in weighing—can we negotiate? There is always good that comes back from being honest with others,” the mayor said.
Marketgoers expressed gratitude for the mayor’s gesture of concern and for the free meat they received while doing their daily market activities.
