Fresh from winning the May 9 National Elections, Mayor REX and Deputy Speaker WES Gatchalian opens the City’s 24^th Sentro ng Sama-samang Serbisyo or 3S Center.

Dubbed as “Sentro ng Sama-samang Serbisyo”, the 3S Center in Tagalag is within reach by the residents of the Barangay Tagalag as it officially opens and inaugurates today, May 20.

The 24^th Sentro ng Sama-samang Serbisyo is a two-storey building with facilities consist of the  Barangay Hall, Health Station, Daycare Center, ALS (Alternative Learning System) Center, Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) Office, and a Multi-Purpose Hall.

Deputy Speaker WES Gatchalian in his message, he said, “Ito nalang po ang challenge, dapat kung ano ang kagandahan ng ating mga gusaling itinayo, gayundin ang kagandahan sa serbisyong ibibigay natin sa taong-bayan. Dapat efficient, dapat maayos.” ("This is the challenge, if we built them elegant facilities, we should also give superb service to the community. It must be efficient. It must be well-done.")

While Mayor Rex emphasized, “Ang layunin ng 3S Centers natin, ilapit sa inyo ang serbisyo. Bukod sa ilapit, gusto natin One-Stop Shop, ‘yung tipong pagpunta niyo, andiyan na ‘yung health center, daycare, andiyan na lahat ng kailangan niyo.” ("The objective of the 3S Centers is to bring near all the services. Aside from it, we like it to become a One-Stop Shop, where you can see the health center, daycare, and all your needs.")

The first 3S Center was inaugurated in 2014 in Barangay Poblacion. These are integrated government facilities which aim is to promote governance that is open to people, and for the city’s services to be an arm stretch away through facilities closer to the communities.

Mayor REX led the inauguration joined by Vice Mayor Lorie Natividad-Borja, Deputy Speaker WES Gatchalian, Councilor Ricar Enriquez, Liga ng mga Barangay President Councilor Jon Jon Bartolome, SK Federation President Councilor Goyong Serrano, Tagalag Punong Barangay Obet Geronimo and Council, and SK Chairman Arcee Dayego and Council.

The blessing of the facilities was officiated by Rev. Fr. Juvenson Alarcon.

With a total of 24 established 3S Centers this 2022, three more are rising in Barangay Palasan, Barangay Mapulang Lupa and Barangay Canumay West.
