MOA Objectives

According to DSWD Secretary Bautista, this project will help the Department to efficiently and effectively deliver assistance to the families residing in Batangas and near-by provinces during calamities.

The warehouse will serve as an additional storage area of relief goods and other stockpiles of DSWD.

Batangas Governor Mandanas sent his gratitude to DSWD for this project. He believed that the warehouse will be a great opportunity for his fellow-Batanguenos to have easy access to the government’s resources during disasters.

As arranged, DSWD will construct, within five years, the regional warehouse that could be used by the Department for 25 years.

DSWD is committed to continue to ensure that all vulnerable families and individuals have easy access to government programs and services.
