Dinalupihan is the gateway to the West Central Luzon and as such, we want to take advantage of this strategic location in improving the living conditions of our constituents.
The best way to do this is by taking the first step towards achieving our vision that by 2020, Dinalupihan will be the primary center for agro-based processed goods. This first step is by embracing the Performance Governance System of the Institute for Solidarity in Asia, as the first Municipality in the Philippines to openly signify this intention, born out of our wants to achieve our vision.
In retrospect, the Municipality of Dinalupihan easily gets flooded during rainy seasons causing inundation not only in its farmlands but in the Central Business District as well. This flooding hinders the growth of trades and business in the Municipality while at the same time causes losses in the tune of millions of pesos to our farmers, agriculture being the major source of livelihood of the majority of the households.
In early 2014, while ISA is guiding us in the initial step of Performance Governance, the Executive Branch of the Municipality with the support of the Legislative Branch and the Provincial Government of Bataan, started the rehabilitation/dredging/construction of floodways in and around the Town proper leading to Almacen River which flows to the Manila Bay. As a result, the Municipality was not flooded during the 2014 rainy season. This paved the way for new businesses to come in starting with the opening of McDonald's outlet in the Central Business District (CBD) followed by Puregold and SM Save More. These are the signs of the good times for LGU Dinalupihan which we will surely sustain with the end in view of attaining our 2020 Vision thereby improving the lives of our constituents thru increased income brought about by the downstream economic and business impact of new business players in Dinalupihan.
With the help of ISA, we in the Local Government of Dinalupihan are very confident that we will be able to come up with a performance governance system that is geared towards achieving a workable developmental road map for our Municipality.
With the support of the LGU workforce and of our partner constituents, we believe that we will be able to achieve our Vision, step by step, one target at a time, with the help of God Almighty.
