The silver anniversary celebration has for its theme "Physical and Spiritual Health Towards a Progressive Community." Rey B. Veneer, vocational school administrator and the Key School Officials (KSO) of Cabatuan National Comprehensive High School started the implementation of the strategic plan for 1997-2002. The plan is based on a vision that the school is a crucible of quality Special Science, General Secondary and Post Secondary Education that develops and harnesses the potentials of each individual student, faculty and staff member resulting to a vibrant, progressive and humane educational institution; and a mission that the institution is committed to mold service-oriented scholars among the youth so as to help build a Filipino nation that is at par with no other. The plan aims to provide at least 50 opportunities for continuing faculty and staff development; develop and/or evaluate at least 20 support curriculum materials and facilities; initiate, revitalize and enhance at least 20 student-oriented activities and projects, and generate at least P5M worth of funding from income generating projects and linkages It is to be recalled that RTMDH was incorporated in the bill sponsored by Congresswoman Gloria M. Tabiana in Republic Act 4955. The hospital began its operation on Sept. 10, 1971 in the residence of Mr. Guillermo Confesor on the corner of Magallon and Rizal Streets. Through the efforts of then Mayor Francisco C. Tobias, a permanent site has been secured on a scenic rolling hill overlooking Tigum River in the boundaries of Pungtod, Tabucan and Banguit. The site is a donation of Mr. Nicanor Buenaflor, Mr. and Mrs. Cirilo Javelosa, Mrs. Dolores D. Pueyo and Mr. Manuel Bermejo. The hospital began its services in its new location on Sept. 1, 1973. The improvement hailed by the people not only of Cabatuan but also of the neighboring municipalities of Santa Barbara, with Non-Government Organizations (NGO) and other Government Organizations (GO) in the form of donated equipment, infrastructure, reference materials and other support physical facilities. An analysis of the school and environmental situation shows that the school is progressing but hampered by certain weaknesses. The school has competent members of the faculty and staff but has inadequate teacher and support staff items; wide area for physical development but very inadequate MOOE allocation; supportive LGU officials, NGO' and GO's but low socioeconomic status of clientele; high premium on education by members of the community but low level of employment opportunities; organized and active alumni association but inadequate communication facilities in the community. The school with the help of the community will try its best to accomplish the strategic plan in five years just as it has accomplished the first strategic plan in 1992-1997. New Lucena, Maasin and Janivay is a living witness of the government's concern for the health of the people. From a bed capacity of 25 with an annual appropriation of P300,000. for personal services and a capital outlay of P45,000. only, the hospital has now an operational budget of P12,089,640. for personal services and P2,586,872. for Maintenance and Other Operating Expenses (MOOE). The chief of the hospital since 1972 is Dr. Restituta TobiasKilayko.
