Rationale
Municipal Government of Rosario Batangas has a history of providing medical assistance to depressed areas, with successful missions conducted in various barangays in the past and in recent times.

This year was no exemption because we wished to reach out to even more people who experience the struggles and challenges of life on a daily basis. Primary health care, being a basic need is a priority of the current administration of Honorable Mayor Manuel B. Alvarez.

This is why we take advantage of any and every opportunity to conduct a medical mission in cooperation with the private sector and other government agencies for the benefit of the people of Rosario.

This is a project in cooperation with the Office of the Vice President Jojo Binay, to serve the people of the Philippines. This activity is also part of the Kalusugan Pangkalahatan Program of the National Government..

Flow of Services

There were designated areas for the different stages of service delivery. At the entrance, there were Reception Areas for medical, dental and ophthalmological services requests.

Next areas were for taking Vital Signs and Vision Tests before proceeding to the designated Waiting Areas for requested service.

The medical doctors, ophthalmologists and dentists provided complete treatment for the requested service on a first come first serve basis. The last step was the dispensation of medicines in the pharmacy area or the releasing of eyeglasses in the optical services area.

Volume of Patients

Within the 2-3 hours of the medical mission it was expected that the planned activities for the day will be followed. But there is also the possibility that by lunch time, as more people and patients come in, there is the possibility that challenges may come up so an allowance for flexibility is recognized. After a few hours of opening time, the number of people approaching the venue increased significantly. Order was maintained by the vigilant Barangay Health Workers and Barangay Nutrition Scholars, as well as other community volunteers. The Honorable Sangguniang Bayan Member Gary Malaluan took active participation in making sure patients were lined up properly. This Medical Mission conducted from 8:00 a.m. to past 2:00 p.m.

Rationale

To this effect, the Annual Investment Program (AIP) for 2012 enunciated formulating and implementing tourism plans, programs, projects and activities under the Special Projects segment of the Office of the Municipal Mayor.

This special project immediately touches on cross-sectoral concerns and deliver impact across several basic sectors in terms of social and economic benefits.

The project lends meaningful support for the social development sector of sports and recreation by promoting motorcycle-based sports activities.

The availability of motorcycle-based sports activity where the youth can participate is a positive development for this sector. Involvement in sports activities provides opportunities for the beneficial use of time. It tends to divert the youth away from the influence of illegal drugs. This in turn can contribute to improved public order and safety situation in the municipality.

In terms of revenue contribution in the long term, to both the Municipal and Barangay Governments, the location of the race track and the surrounding properties in the area will generate increased property valuation and consequently, higher real property taxes. We could add business taxes and other fees in the positive impact of this project to the revenue collection of the municipality.

In terms of economic development, locals and visitors, the youth and adults, riders and spectators, all can have one more sports to focus on. This in turn can contribute to increased traffic of tourists in the municipality by attracting participants and spectators alike from out of town.

The economic development sector of tourism generates jobs and livelihood in its support industries like food establishments, resorts and lodging houses, real estate, personal services like barber shops and salons, souvenir shops and other commercial activities. Hence, this project can lead to more employment and livelihood opportunities for the people of Rosario.
