CITY OF SAN FERNANDO - Some seven cooperatives and individual members of the City of San Fernando Cooperatives were recently lauded for their full compliance and service on the Philippine Cooperative Code of 2008 during a recent summit at the Heroes Hall here.

The awarding ceremony, also known as Galal Karing Kooperatibang Fernandino 2018, recognizes cooperatives who have expressed service and full
compliance with the Philippine Cooperative Code of 2008, which requires them to share resources and services for other cooperatives’ development.
The awardees are multi-purpose cooperatives (MPC) from public and private institutions and groups, which are all validated by the City Cooperative Development Council.
The awardees are San Fernando Elementary School Teachers MPC (Most Conscientious Cooperative Award), Staffers Labor Service Cooperative (Best in Membership Expansion Award), Pampanga Capitol Employees MPC (Best in Members Savings Deposit Generation Award), Golden Group Gabay Puhunan Brotherhood MPC (Best Capital Build Up Generated Award), Golden Group Gabay Puhunan Brotherhood MPC (Most Diversified Cooperative Award), Pampanga High School MPC (Best in Community Service Award), and Joselito Sanchez of the Golden Group (Best CSFP Performing Cooperative Leader Award).
Present during the event was Mayor Edwin Santiago who underscored the cooperatives’ vital role in development.
“I always tell other people to have ‘cooperation’because this is where progress starts. Cooperatives also serve as keys to success and development,” Santiago said.
“I congratulate all the special members of CSF Cooperatives for your endless cooperation in enhancing the level of life of everyone. Thank you for associating with the city’s goal of ‘nothing left,’” the mayor added.
