00:00This month of October, we call it National Cooperative Month.

00:05This is an important opportunity for us to get to know the contribution of cooperatives

00:10in our economy and in the lives of Filipinos.

00:14To get to know the important information about this, we will be joined by

00:19Senior Cooperative Development Specialist, Ms. Hermelina Reselis and Sir Sergio Herrero Jr.

00:26Good morning and welcome back here in Rise and Shine Philippines.

00:29Good morning to everyone watching this morning.

00:32Okay, tell us more about the National Cooperative Month.

00:36What is the theme of our celebration today?

00:39And give us the importance of this celebration

00:43and how it will help our economy and the lives of Filipinos.

00:46Yes, good morning to all of us.

00:49Thank you PTV4 for inviting us again to NCR.

00:53Our theme today is Cooperatives Stronger Together Today for a Brighter Tomorrow.

01:01So, here in the theme chosen by the Cooperative Development Authority

01:06together with the National Alliance of Cooperatives,

01:10they approved this theme to be adopted nationwide.

01:14So, we will be celebrating our Cooperative Month nationwide simultaneously.

01:19So, here we want to prove that we are stronger today

01:24because the contribution of our cooperatives throughout the Philippines is already huge.

01:30So, in our reports, we can see that we have already made a huge contribution to the economy of the Philippines

01:40and this is a big help to small, medium, and enterprise

01:44because they are able to avail loans even if they cannot get loans from the banks.

01:49We are able to get closer to our cooperatives.

01:52So, to our lending co-ops, happy Cooperative Month.

01:59Thank you for your help in lending to our small businesses,

02:05to those in need, not only for business, but also for livelihood and other kinds of loans.

02:16And to our agricultural co-ops, our government is very supportive.

02:22We have grants for our agricultural co-ops.

02:25Maybe our colleague, Sir June Herrero, can discuss this.

02:30Our help to farmers nationwide is not affected by NCR

02:38because we don't have many agricultural co-ops organized.

02:42So, we are giving grants to them

02:49to help our small co-ops.

02:54So, in NCR, we have a lot of activities in Cooperative Month.

03:00We started in the Cooperative Job Fair last October 1.

03:04So, we have a lot of job seekers who went to SM Sky Dome.

03:09Thank you to SM, the venue is free.

03:12So, there.

03:13Then, we have a lot of activities in the whole NCR.

03:19We expect your support in our activities.

03:24In the whole NCR, we have a local celebration.

03:29We can help by contacting cooperative development offices nationwide.

03:36In NCR, sorry.

03:39So, we have a lot of activities nationwide.

03:43Sir June, not all Filipinos know the purpose of cooperative.

03:49Can you explain to those who are not familiar with this?

03:54What is the purpose of a cooperative?

03:56Empowerment.

03:58Because a cooperative will educate the people to do business.

04:02We call it economy of scale.

04:04If one person can't do it,

04:06we can join their capital to start with a business.

04:10From lending, producers,

04:13producing products,

04:15and marketing products.

04:17To give them a chance to engage in business.

04:21Not only producing business,

04:23but this is also an employment opportunity for people.

04:28When a cooperative is formed,

04:30they need to work here.

04:32From manager, bookkeeper, and other work that we need to produce.

04:36So, this will have a labor intensive.

04:38That's why Merna said that in August 1,

04:41we opened a business opportunity to apply for a job.

04:48And our labor service offered a job opening

04:53to individuals who will go to SM.

04:58So, a lot of people were employed.

05:00And there was a job opportunity for this matter.

05:03So, a lot of opportunities were opened.

05:06Okay.

05:07Empowerment and employment opportunities,

05:09as explained by Sir John.

05:11You were talking about matching cooperatives.

05:15Can you tell us more about that?

05:17This coming October 17,

05:19we will provide educational information

05:23to consumer, marketing, producers, and logistic cooperative.

05:28Where you can match the product.

05:30For example,

05:32if you have a product like this,

05:35you can order logistic and bring it to the end user.

05:38So, like our producers who can market,

05:42we will business match this.

05:44Especially to consumers.

05:46We will teach the producers

05:48if we have a deal with our product.

05:51And if we have a market product,

05:53we can teach them where to focus our products in their market.

05:58And the logistics.

06:01So, we can give them an opportunity

06:03to enhance their business.

06:05Whatever they produce,

06:07they can engage it in their business.

06:09So, we try to business match each business.

06:13How can we do that?

06:15So, we can read the layer.

06:17Because that's where the problem is.

06:19The product might increase

06:21because of the price of the product.

06:23Because there are a lot of layers in marketing.

06:25So, we are trying to do

06:28to eliminate the layering of marketing

06:31so that we can lower the price of the products.

06:37So, you are doing seminars

06:40to help our fellow citizens.

06:43So, how can we help the cooperative?

06:46We have training calendars

06:49that are posted on the Facebook account of CDA,

06:52our official Facebook account.

06:56We have 15 financial literacy

06:59for agriculture cooperatives

07:02that are engaged.

07:04It's not just agriculture that is producing.

07:07It's the agriculture involved in agriculture.

07:11Like, there are transport,

07:13logistics cooperatives

07:15that are delivering.

07:17So, they are included in our financial literacy.

07:19We also have consumers cooperatives

07:23that do bulk orders

07:25to our farmers in the province.

07:27Like, the National Cooperative,

07:31Marketing Cooperative.

07:33So, Federation of Marketing Cooperatives.

07:36So, they have wholesaling of rice.

07:39So, they are directly consulting

07:41the cooperatives.

07:43So, NCR is our market

07:45for our farmers.

07:47So, as far as possible,

07:49NCR is doing

07:51help to our farmers

07:53through cooperatives.

07:55So, our consumers cooperatives

07:57are the ones distributing

07:59agricultural products from the province.

08:01Well, clearly,

08:03cooperatives have a lot of benefits

08:05in the lives of their members

08:07and even in the local economy.

08:09But in terms of challenges,

08:11what are the challenges

08:13that cooperatives are facing?

08:15And what are your recommendations

08:17to solve these challenges?

08:20Yes, that's why we are having

08:22business matching because

08:24our product is now out of market.

08:26So, this is one of the things

08:28that we are doing.

08:30One of the challenges,

08:32as Ms. Merla said,

08:34is that we need to educate.

08:36Most of our cooperatives

08:38have less knowledge

08:40of what a cooperative is.

08:42That's why there are

08:44so-called cooperative disputes

08:46or big problems

08:48Plus, our own economy

08:50is affected directly

08:52by our cooperatives

08:54because cooperatives are

08:56engaged in business.

08:58Just like our cooperatives

09:00in our nationwide business

09:02or in our economics,

09:04the whole cooperative is affected.

09:06So, these are the challenges

09:08that we are facing.

09:10How about the cooperatives

09:12in faraway places,

09:14for example, in Mindanao?

09:16Mindanao is also one of the issues

09:18in Mindanao, but it is

09:20doing well.

09:22In our observation,

09:24because their goods

09:26are easy to get

09:28because there are no enemies

09:30of multinational corporations,

09:32they are doing better compared

09:34to the NCR.

09:36It's the opposite.

09:38They are the ones who are

09:40being chased by ordinary people.

09:42If there is a big cooperative,

09:44they will get capital

09:46from their production.

09:48They will immediately get loans

09:50and support

09:52from their farmers

09:54or their goods.

09:56They will get it because

09:58there are no enemies.

10:00Their own business

10:02will be benefited.

10:04That's the good thing

10:06when it comes to the province.

10:08For those watching us

10:10who are encouraged to form their own cooperatives

10:12or want to become a member

10:14of a cooperative,

10:16what steps should they take?

10:18Who can they consult?

10:20For the NCR,

10:22just go to our website, CDA.

10:24We have a free

10:26PRS,

10:28Pre-Registration

10:30Seminar.

10:32It's scheduled,

10:34including

10:36our

10:38local

10:40government

10:42units.

10:44We have cooperative development

10:46officers.

10:48The good thing

10:50about joining a cooperative

10:52is that we are

10:54encouraged by the merger

10:56and consolidation of cooperatives

10:58to become stronger.

11:00Maybe our cooperatives

11:02will realize that

11:04when there is a merger and consolidation,

11:06our cooperatives will become stronger.

11:08This is one program.

11:10There is an incentive

11:12for micro and small cooperatives

11:14to merge

11:16and consolidate

11:18into 5 cooperatives.

11:20If they are small,

11:22the assets are less than 3 million.

11:24The government,

11:26the CDA, has an incentive

11:28that when you are consolidated,

11:30we will give you

11:32a bigger capital.

11:34Not big,

11:36maybe hundreds or thousands.

11:38How can we convince

11:40our countrymen

11:42to join a cooperative?

11:44Do you have data

11:46on how many cooperatives

11:48have been helped in our country?

11:50Nationwide, we have

11:52a strong cooperative of 15,000.

11:54We have

11:56billionaires cooperatives.

11:58Not only

12:00in NCR, but also nationwide.

12:02I just want to add.

12:04It's not only our cooperative

12:06that we are discussing.

12:08We also have funds.

12:10We have a fundshoot

12:12on October 23.

12:14It will be held in Marikina.

12:16It is known for making

12:18guns there.

12:20This October 28, we will be having

12:22a fan group game.

12:24All the cooperatives from NCR

12:26will be invited to the fundshoot.

12:28It will be the same for the group.

12:30You can contact me

12:32for the fundshoot.

12:34I have already sent teasers

12:36to all the cooperatives.

12:38For the gun enthusiasts,

12:40let's play and have fun.

12:42It's like a fellowship.

12:44Please to invite again all our viewers

12:46to be part of this National Cooperative Month
