- By XANDRA MOLINA

The heart keeps everything in us moving, providing structure, rhythm, and support.

In Batangas, HEARTS does exactly that.

Revived by Governor Vilma Santos-Recto, the program brings together Health, Education and Environment, Agriculture, Roads and Infrastructure, Tourism, and Security to keep the province thriving.

INSIDE BATANGAS' HEARTS PROGRAM

The program aims to connect with every agency that delivers essential services to the people of Batangas. And even though it was only brought back recently, it has already created noticeable changes in the province.

During Governor Santos-Recto's 100 Days Report on October 15, she shared the Provincial Government's progress in assessing and rehabilitating the district hospitals.

She also noted plans for the construction of new district hospitals in the municipalities of Rosario and Sta. Teresita is now underway, a move that brings health services closer to their constituents.
