Villar entitled Approving and Directing the Implementation of the Municipal Government's Aksyon ng Bayan Rosario 2001 AB describes the composition of the operational network that matters most in the implementation of the program.
For the Program Secretariat of Aksyon ng Bayan Rosario 2001 AB, it was composed of the SDAO, the Assistant SDAO and the Community Volunteer Monitors (CVMs) as members.

The Barangay Secretary acted as the Secretariat to the Barangay Development Network and the BTWG at the Barangay Level.
The Program Secretariat took care of the day-to-day operations and activities necessary for the implementation of the Aksyon ng Bayan Rosario 2001 AB Program at the municipal and barangay levels. As such they performed the following functions and tasks as part of their operation:

Barangay Health Workers
In practice, the Municipality of Rosario, Batangas tapped the existing Barangay Health Workers (BHWs) supervised by the Municipal Health Officer of the Office for Health Services of the Municipality of Rosario, Batangas and the Rural Health Physician, who is the Department of Health Representative in the municipality.
Doing so made the Barangay Health Workers (BHW) synonymous with the Community Volunteer Monitors (CVM) of Aksyon ng Bayan Rosario 2001 AB Program. The better description is that the CVMs are BHWs and the BHW are the CVM for all practical purposes. In other words, the CVMs and the BHWs are one and the same persons.
The CVM-BHW are the backbone, the network and the direct link of the Aksyon ng Bayan Rosario 2001 AB Program to the individuals, families, households, pangkat leaders, purok leaders, barangay officials and other entities in the grassroots communities.
The Barangay Health Workers were totally integrated in the installation of the Minimum Basic Needs - Community Based Information System (MBN-CBIS) beginning in 1996.
Capability Building
To achieve this purpose, the Training on Minimum Basic Needs Situation Analysis, Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation (SAPIME) and Women Empowerment was conducted on October 28-29, 1996 at the Rosario East Central School (RECS), Poblacion A, Rosario, Batangas. The resoure persons who participated in the training were:
- Dr. Reynaldo S. Taniajura, previously The Plain Truth Magazine Regional Managing Editor of the Worldwide Church of God (WCG), currently Area Superintendent for Southern Luzon.
- Level I Core Group Members:
- Manuel Luis Quizon
- Pedro Mendoza
- Genciano Barbosa
- Emelita Abacan, M.D.
- Teodoro Lacerna
- Atty. Francia Barbosa, the Assistant Sustainable Development Action Officer, passed the Bar Examinations in 2005
The Secretariat
The CVM-BHW were distributed in all the 48 barangays of the municipality. Originally, they total 186 when the MBN-CBIS started in 1996.
For effetive supervision and control, the SDAO selected 14 CVM-BHW to perform the role of Barangay Cluster Coordinators. The SDAO and the Barangay Cluster Coordinators meet weekly every Monday after the regular Flag Ceremonies for municipal employees of the municipal government. These group became known as The Secretariat, the implementing and monitoring arm of the SDAO.
In these meetings were discussed the strategies and tactics of how to better implement the commitments, projects and activities essential for the implementation of Aksyon ng Bayan Rosario 2001 AB Program at the Pangkat Level.
CBIS Installation
There were 14,277 households in Rosario according the 1995 Census of Population by the National Statistics Office. Using this number as a proxy for the number of families, the 1996 MBN-CBIS Baseline Survey of Rosario, Batangas covered about 85% of families in 40 out of 48 barangays of the municipality.
