MALAYSIANS ATTEND NAT’L COOP GAB

Malaysian cooperative to hear the latest update about the Philippine cooperative scene, learning from them, and also building their network

To build international relations within the Filipino cooperative community, Malaysian cooperative delegates will be attending this year’s 14th National Cooperative Summit on October 3 to 5 at SMX Convention Center, SM Lanang, Davao City.

Philippine Cooperative Center (PCCC) head of operations Elsie Remonte said the Malaysian cooperative Angkatan Kerjasama Kebangsaan Malaysia Berhad (ANGKASA) will be giving a solidarity message in encouraging the Philippine cooperative in forming a stronger bond of cooperative community in the country.

“This is an exposure trip for the international body. They will be hearing the latest update about the Philippine cooperative, learning, and also building their network,” Remonte said during the Kapehan sa Dabaw on Monday, October 01, 2018 at SM City Davao.

Remonte added that there would be 33 delegates from ANGKASA and are representing the farming cooperative from Malaysia.

“Hopefully, they could partner with some of the cooperatives here in the Philippines,” Remonte said.

Remonte added the international participation in the upcoming cooperative convention can spark an avenue of discussion in gearing towards possible development in the cooperative financing sector.

The 14th National Cooperative Summit which takes place once every two years will discuss matters on growth aspects and programs that the cooperative sector offers in relation to the socio-economic shifts taking place in the country, reflecting also to the regional implications of these shifts which then can also affect the global cooperative situation.

“This will definitely serve like a family reunion of cooperatives in the country, meeting the international potential partners as well,” Remonte added.
