One of the city’s resounding battlecry the Filipino saying, “Lahat panalo kapag sama sama tayo,” or, “We all win when we work together.” On a community level, Taguig officials continuously organize events and activities that inspire teamwork, unity and civic pride. In the same spirit of unity, the City of Taguig has teamed up with the public and private sector in order to elevate the city to its premier status, from its education system, social welfare, to its development.

Educational Allies
Taguig continually works to improve education and increase global awareness amongst its students. In January 2006, the City joined forces with The National Geographic Channel (NGC) to launch a multimedia-instruction project “Sharing One Vision, Bringing Global Education to the Filipino Youth.” Supported by the Department of Education, it delivers the National Geographic’s quality programs and in depth features to public schools. Students also benefit from a values education program conducted by Mayor Tiñga himself.

Other assistance has secured better education for the city’s youth. A loan from Logofind helped to add to the City’s new classrooms while partnerships with the private sector, various non-government organizations, and government agencies have enabled Taguig’s Office of Social Welfare Development to award scholarships to 7,600 students.


Shared Welfare Projects
The Taguig Health Department started a safe motherhood and childcare program in Lower Bicutan and Signal Village thanks to the support of the World Health Organization, which provided Basic Emergency, Management and Obstetrical Care and donated P1.2 million worth of medical supplies needed to provide safer pregnancies.

In a joint venture with the Local Government Units of Sta. Fe, Nueva Vizcaya, Quezon and North Cotabato, the Taguig Cooperative Development Office launched the Food Security and Poverty Alleviation Program, will create a ready market for high quality agricultural and livestock products at low prices.


Collaboration of great minds
The Taguig Development Forum, initiated by Mayor Tiñga, assembled elected leaders, past and present, from varied political affiliations for a discussion on the city’s Vision 2020 development plan. These platforms unite citizens and leaders alike under one cause: a shared vision to bring about the future Taguig, a premier city with a highly professionalized and united government.
