With the influx of local workers migrating from other provinces due to business and employment opportunities in Mariveles, the development of an educated, secured and healthy community life has become a primary concern of the municipal authorities.
Health Services
Construction of 3 health centers that offers complete medical, dental, x-ray, ECG, Ultrasound and laboratory services.
The 3 health centers are considered to be the most beautiful and most modern health centers in Central Luzon and are equipped with the latest and modern facilities comparable to medical clinics in Metro Manila.
All the health centers are manned by capable and highly trained doctors, nurses, midwives, dentists, medical technologists, pharmacists, nutritionists, and complete nursing and midwifery staff giving 24-hours services to the people.
The 18 barangays have each a satellite health station to provide emergency health services particularly in far-flung barangays.
A Rescue-Medic Team is also at hand to provide quality emergency care and rescue operations during calamities and emergencies.
Educational Services
Consistent to its mission in improving the standard of life of its people through quality education, local government administration officials sponsored several thousands of scholars in both high school and college by giving them P500 monthly allowance.
Constructed several one-storey and two-storey school buildings throughout the municipality. Gave monthly allowances of P8,000 to more than 100 public school teacher volunteers in both elementary and high schools who can not be accommodated by CHED and Deparment of Education. The first and the only university in Bataan – the Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) – Mariveles, gives a yearly subsidy of P300,000 to the school in the form of various civil works school equipments and other school improvements.
Livelihood Programs
One mark of a growing economy is the presence of socially-developed and organized communities whose constituents are equipped with the necessary skills to conduct livelihood programs that will secure their needs.
To provide families an opportunity to make a living, the LGU created KISLAP (Kilusan Sa Lagumang Pag-unlad) to equipped unemployed people with sufficient resources to uplift their economic status.
Under this program, the LGU, in coordination with the Land Bank of the Philippines (LBP) provided technical and credit assistance to Mariveles-based cooperatives to increase participation in productive endeavors and develop their skills and knowledge in business operations.
