BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY SEMINAR FOR COOPS


by: ALIW ZURITA-JOSE


May 8, 2012 was marked the day for Business Opportunity Seminar for cooperatives.  It was organized and sponsored by the Provincial Government of Bataan  through the Provincial Cooperative Development Office (PCDO) in coordination with Home Development Mutual Fund (PAG-IBIG Fund).  On the said seminar, Pag-Ibig Fund launched the  Group Housing Loan Program which aims to encourage cooperatives to get involved in the provision of housing through land development and house construction. The program is beneficial not only to the cooperatives but most importantly to their members who can own homes at affordable costs and reasonable terms.

        Resource speaker was Ms. Elaine G. Pecson, Single Point of Contact (SPOC), Relationship Officer of HDMF. Cooperatives who were able to attend the seminar were, among others,  Tapulao MPC, Iwahori MPC, Mariveles Women's MPC, Lingap Kapwa MPC, Mariveles Public Market Development Coop, Sunny Marketing Coop, and Montemar Employees Credit Cooperative.
