MESSAGE

The vision and mission of this administration is to pursue its programs of service to the people under the acronym � LIFE � standing for Livelihood, Infrastructure, Food Security/Family Values; E for economy, Education and Environmental Protection. To accomplish the task embodied in the goal of the administration, we gave focus on programs in agriculture strengthened with the belief that adequate agricultural produce will give each family in our barangays food in their tables and somehow answer partly their economic needs.

Like agriculture, health is a primary concern of our administration being in the frontline of delivering basic services to our people. All health programs embodied in our 20% development fund for 2002 were given full attention.

Our social welfare development programs have targeted the cross section of our constituency, that is, the children, the youth, the women, the family, the disabled as well as the senior citizens.

We have invested more than two million pesos worth of infrastructure projects like concreting of some poblacion roads, assistance to various barangay projects and construction and repair of government edifices.

We held the 1st Mini-Economic Summit last June 11, 2002. This was realized thru the efforts of the Gubatnons of Northern California and this administration in convincing the Ayala Foundation Inc. thru its Chief Operating Officer, Madame Vicky Garchitorena, formerly head of the Presidential Management Staff and presently Presidential Adviser to President GMA, who took the lead role in discussing the promotion of Gubat�s agricultural products namely: abaca, coconut, pili and handicraft industry. On abaca, FIDA has already started its rehabilitation program and, hopefully, funds will be released for a full-blast rehabilitation program.

We the elected officials, the officials and employees of the LGU as well as those from the national government agencies, the barangay officials, the NGOs and the citizenry in general would continuously work together to achieve our dreams for Gubat. Our people deserve no less.

DEOGRACIAS B. RAMOS, JR.
