Recovering and dusting off the showbiz mantle he used to wear in the 90s, Matthew Mendoza finds his way back into acting. Spending almost a decade in his role as a public servant in Puerto Princesa, Palawan, had been a great experience for the actor, but he knows that he will always belong on the screen.
Showbiz has been his niche ever since, as he worked as a commercial model and actor for 18 years, from 1994 up to 2012. His acting career granted him roles that made him a familiar face in Philippine television, appearing in iconic series like Daisy Siyete, Angelito: Batang Ama, and Wildflower.
He first won as a city councilor of Puerto Princesa in 2013, was re-elected in 2016, and served for a third term in 2019. Concurrently, he was elected by the Philippine Councilors League as the Public Relations Officer for Luzon Island in 2016 and as the Vice-President in 2019. His inherent understanding of politics was no surprise, given his lineage of personalities deeply entrenched in political roots. The Mendoza family has a rich legacy of serving Palawan over generations. His grandfather, Higinio Mendoza Sr., was a Palawan Governor and a guerrilla leader during World War 2, commemorated along the streets of Puerto Princesa.
"There is no comparison, the two are completely different. In government service, malaking responsibilidad ang iginawad ng taong bayan para maserbisyohan sa araw araw na pamumuhay. "I don't think there is a big transition as I have never really stopped, only slowed down. My emotional support has always been my family. I know they are there to support me in whatever I do, and I feel a sense of security because of this. My family is my safe space."
