Cooperative Month Celebration

 Poverty has always remained a critical social problem that calls to

be addressed.

 The incidence of poverty in the country has remained significantly

high for almost a decade, but the government has not stopped
planning to eradicate the problem.

 In the province of Oriental Mindoro, the government has been

working hand in hand with the cooperative sector to attain socio-
economic progress and development.

 The provincial government is also consistent with its efforts to

strengthen the interconnectedness of cooperatives by highlighting
the need for strong cooperation, sharing of information and
organizational strengthening.

 As such, we are here to recognize the Outstanding Cooperatives

and the active Municipal/City Cooperative Development Councils
and conduct various activities relative to cooperative sector. This
is to motivate them better and encourage their further
involvement in Oriental Mindoro’s battle against poverty.

 Through the cooperatives, we hope to create jobs and empower

the poor in order to uplift their quality of lives.

 “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish
and you feed him for a lifetime.”
