LGU-Tanauan Vision
“An agri-industrial town and eco-tourism
destination of Eastern Visayas that has a
dynamic and empowered community of men,
women, and children living under an
ecologically-balanced environment with
sustainable economic growth through an
exemplary gender-responsive governance.”

Rationale:
Tanauan citizens have long been engaged in a
variety of small-scale industries aside from those
purely into production of rice and coconuts, the
locality’s staple crops. These agri-industries in a great
way sustain the simple livelihood of the town’s folk.
For these lot to be mainstreamed into the town’s
development, there is a need to promote microentrepreneurship,
upgrade their trade skills, and
encourage them to constantly seek for higher
standards in the manufacture and production of their
products by way of recognition and incentives to the
best performers.
