Mayor Abby Binay held the first-ever Tik-Talk with Mayora Abby at the Makatizen Hub located at SM Makati on Wednesday, March 29. The monthly program aims to address the concerns of the Proud Makatizens and bring city services closer to the residents, workers, and business owners of Makati.

During the event, Mayor Abby addressed each concern raised by the attendees, including issues on traffic management, security, and health services.
