Acknowledging the importance of media exposure in stirring the interest of the public in the field of cooperative involvement, the Provincial Cooperative Development Office (PCDO) will have this regular column to be known as “COOP UPDATES & More” in the BPC Koop Vision to provide cooperatives in the province the opportunity to inform the readers and other stakeholders on the value of cooperative development in helping the local economy through its services, benefits and vital activities.
Cooperatives offer an effective means for people to raise their living standards by accessing decent work opportunities, savings and credit facilities, social services as well as education and skills training. Members gain self-reliance and self-esteem by being part of the cooperatives. Through the years, a number of Bataan cooperatives were able to positively make a difference not only in the economic well-being of its individual members but in the development of the community or locality where they operate. These cooperatives have successfully transformed the lives of most Bataenos, empowering them economically and making them productive members of the society. PCDO fully supports the promotion of cooperatives documenting its rise from humble beginnings to a great niche in the society of today.
For program implementation, the province thru the PCDO forged a partnership with the Bataan Press Club MPC being the only organized media cooperative in the province. This newspaper, the BPC Koop Vision newsweekly is widely circulated in the province and in Region III as well. This column, the “COOP UPDATES & More” hopes to inform the readers about the concept of cooperativism and spread inspiring stories of successful cooperatives in the province. So watch out for the succeeding and interesting features in this column about the cooperative movement in Bataan!
