The Coop Chamber is pushing for stronger representation! The Coop Chamber secretariat recently sat down with the Office of Senator Risa Hontiveros (OSRH) to align on the Executive and Legislative Agenda for the Philippine Cooperative Movement.
Together with OSRH Chief of Staff Raffy Albert and legislative officers, the Coop Chamber was represented by:
Vice Chair Marlene Sindayen
Sec. Gen. Edwin A. Bustillos
Mindanao Regional Officer Michael Ibañez
NCR & CALABARZON Coordinator Yolanda Pinzon
Key Takeaways:
- Unified Advocacy: We are embedding cooperative priorities strictly into national policy.
- Long-Term Solutions: Shifting from temporary fixes to institutionalized legislative support.
- Empowerment: uplifting the true backbone of our economy, our farmers, fisherfolk, transport groups, and the informal sector.
This is more than a meeting; it is a step toward social justice and economic democracy.
Cooperatives are nation-builders. Together, we rise.
Our Coop, Our Voice!
