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 post marks the third of a 25-part series.
OPTIMAL SOCIAL WELFARE AND DEVELOPMENT is a crucial success indicator of the vision statement of Rosario, Batangas, Philippines. A community that prioritizes the well-being and development of its citizens is more likely to thrive and achieve sustainable development. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030, Philippine Development Plan (PDP) 2023-2028, and CALABARZON Regional Development Plan (RDP): 2017-2022 Midterm Update provide a guide for achieving optimal social welfare and development in Rosario.
The first step towards achieving optimal social welfare and development is to promote access to basic services and resources. The SDG 1 aims to end poverty in all its forms and dimensions by 2030, while SDG 2 aims to end hunger and improve nutrition. In line with these goals, the PDP emphasizes the need to provide access to basic services such as education, healthcare, and social protection to all citizens of Rosario. Providing access to basic services and resources is crucial in ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to achieve their full potential and contribute to the overall development of the community.
Social protection programs patterned after the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps), can provide financial assistance to poor households, ensuring that they have access to basic needs such as food, shelter, and healthcare. This can help reduce poverty rates and increase the standard of living for individuals and families in Rosario.
Another important aspect of optimal social welfare and development is promoting economic growth and employment opportunities. The SDG 8 aims to promote sustained, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment, and decent work for all. The PDP also emphasizes the need to promote job creation and entrepreneurship to drive economic growth. By creating a supportive environment for businesses and entrepreneurs, Rosario can attract investment, create jobs, and drive economic growth, leading to increased social welfare and development.
Furthermore, optimal social welfare and development requires creating a safe and inclusive community. The SDG 11 aims to make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable. In line with this goal, the PDP emphasizes the need to improve public safety and create inclusive communities where everyone feels welcome and included. By creating a safe and inclusive environment, Rosario can foster social cohesion and promote the well-being of its citizens.
WE BELIEVE that optimal social welfare and development is a crucial 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 well-being and development of its citizens, leading to overall prosperity and sustainable development. Let us work together towards a thriving and inclusive Rosario.
