Thrusts and Programs

I. Economic Policies

As an agricultural town, the increase in the production of our local agricultural products will help boost the economy of our municipality. Only through the implementation of various projects geared to answer the needs of our farmers like farm machineries, irrigation, and other post harvest facilities/machineries will this be realized.

Likewise the development and promotion of indigenous products that will meet international standards for local and international market will be promoted to offer additional source of income to our people. We hope to accomplish such endeavor by strengthening our cooperatives.

Among these local products we intend to promote and develop are the charcoal briquettes (currently being implemented in Barangay Mabini), sugar cane by-products that includes the panocha and vinegar, and hopefully with the Sampaguita essential oil similar of that of the Municipality of Anao.

With the success of these livelihood projects, the people will not only be the ones who will benefit from it but our town as well. The Local Government Unit will help market these products thus promoting not only local products and our municipality as well making our municipality known not only in our country but also in the international community.

On the other hand we will continue to invite local and foreign investors to invest in our municipality in order to provide additional jobs and income to our people and to our municipality as well.

II. Environmental Policies:

Care for the environment should also be considered in relation to progress. This has been the main concern of my administration since elected as the Local Chief Executive of this Municipality.

As such, projects for the environment have been launched and will continue under my administration such as our Monthly Search for Clean and Green Barangay, and Establishments. Further, we will promote and adopt projects that are environmentally friendly similar to that of the Charcoal Briquette Project in Barangay Mabini.

In addition to this, we will push through for the establishment of our Segregation and Composting Center in Barangay Tagumbao in line with our Solid Waste Management Project that is not only environmentally friendly but economically beneficial to our town as well. I also envision the emergence of an eco-tourism endeavor in the Communal Forest in Mabini.

III. Social Concerns:

Health and sanitation is one of the major concerns of my administration. To address health and medical needs of our people, especially of those from remote areas, we will continue with our regular medical and dental missions to depressed barangays in order to provide free quality health and dental services to our less privileged kababayans. Further we will improve our health services for a healthy people – physically, mentally, and even spiritually – an indication of a developed community.

With regards to education, our sights are set to provide free and quality education to the poor but deserving students. In line with this, we will continue to provide and hope to add more to our present number scholars. Likewise, we will work for the acquisition of computers in our public schools in order that our students be updated with the trend of Information Technology.

Giving priority to sustainable human development is a measure of effective governance. As we invest to the total well being of the people, we are sure of ensuring a bright future for this municipality.
