Optimal provision of basic material needs: providing basic needs for a better life

Vision | Success Indicator 04 of 25 | Updated March 05, 2023 1230H PhST

THE MUNICIPALITY OF ROSARIO BATANGAS has a vision statement with both "outward-looking" and "inward-looking" components, ten vision elements, and 25 success indicators. However, the Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) 2016-2-2030, Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP) 2016-2025, and Executive-Legislative Agenda (ELA) of 2020-2022 and 2022-2025 iterations do not provide clear descriptions of these elements. Therefore, we will present our interpretation of these vision elements in a series of posts, using the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030, Philippine Development Plan (PDP) 2023-2028, and CALABARZON Regional Development Plan (RDP): 2017-2022 Midterm Update as a guide. Our goal is to show how achieving these vision elements can improve the lives of the people of Rosario and lead to prosperity. This is the fourth post of a 25-part series.

THE PROVISION OF BASIC MATERIAL NEEDS is a critical success indicator of the vision statement of the Municipality of Rosario, Batangas, Philippines. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030, Philippine Development Plan (PDP) 2023-2028, and CALABARZON Regional Development Plan (RDP): 2017-2022 Midterm Update recognize the importance of providing basic material needs to individuals for sustainable development.

Basic material needs refer to the basic necessities required for human survival and well-being, such as food, water, shelter, and healthcare. In Rosario, ensuring the optimal provision of these needs is crucial to improving the quality of life of individuals and the overall development of the community. In our perspective, basic material needs at the household level may simply refer to having sufficient clothing and footware, appropriate cooking and eating utensils, as well as basic furniture and fixtures in the home.

By aligning our actions with the SDGs, PDP, and RDP, we can create a community that prioritizes the optimal provision of basic material needs. This can lead to various positive outcomes such as reduced poverty rates, increased access to healthcare, and improved standard of living.

For instance, the SDG 2 aims to end hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture. In line with this goal, we can focus on increasing agricultural productivity in Rosario, ensuring that individuals have access to sufficient and nutritious food.

Additionally, the PDP emphasizes the importance of improving access to healthcare services through the implementation of programs such as the Universal Health Care Law. By providing universal health coverage, we can ensure that individuals have access to quality healthcare services, which can improve their overall well-being.

Furthermore, the RDP recognizes the importance of providing affordable housing and access to basic services such as water and sanitation. By implementing programs that provide access to affordable housing and basic services, we can improve the standard of living of individuals and reduce poverty rates in Rosario.

WE BELIEVE that the optimal provision of basic material needs is a critical success indicator of the vision statement of Rosario, Batangas, Philippines. By aligning our actions with the SDGs, PDP, and RDP, we can create a community that prioritizes the provision of basic material needs, leading to overall prosperity and sustainable development. Let us work together towards a more equitable and inclusive Rosario.
