OUR VISION FOR ALITAGTAG, BATANGAS IS TO CREATE A THRIVING AND

RESILIENT COMMUNITY THAT STRIKES A HARMONIOUS BALANCE BETWEEN

BEAUTY AND RESOURCES OF OUR REGION. OUR APPROACH PRIORITIZES
SUSTAINABILITY, INCLUSIVITY, AND INNOVATION TO ENSURE THAT THE
GROWTH OF OUR TOWN ENHANCES THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR CURRENT AND
FUTURE GENERATIONS.
