Abstract
This paper examines the efforts made by the Philippine government to bring about positive changes in rural areas, specifically in Dolores, Abra, Northern Philippines, regarding the three health-related MDGs on child mortality, maternal health, and the fight against HIV/AIDS and other diseases. The study discusses the localization of MDGs in terms of adequacy of health personnel, necessary infrastructure and facilities, implementation of aligned policies and programs, the budget allocation, and the political dynamics surrounding these areas. The research collected data through interviews with officials and residents, as well as an analysis of health reports, records, and field observations. The findings reveal that additional factors are needed to improve healthcare services. The study concludes that successful international agreements require a decentralized and coordinated national to local commitment, strong political will from local authorities, and political stability. These factors must work together to expedite the localization process and achieve these goals.
