PRESS RELEASE

PHILIPPINE COOPERATIVE CENTER 24^th ANNUAL GENERAL ASSEMBLY

Theme: “Panata at Pagtataya: Dalawampu’t Limang Taon ng Paglilingkod sa Sektor at Bayan”

(lit. Trans. Devotion and Sacrifice: Twenty-Five Years of Service to the Cooperative Sector and Society)

25 years hence, the Philippine Cooperative Center is being looked upon as a coordinating body for cooperatives in the country, and a unifying center that focuses on advocacy and education for and on behalf of the cooperative sector. PCC is also the convener of the largest gathering of cooperatives every 2 years (with its National Cooperative Summit).

This coming 24^th Annual General Assembly (June 30,2022), PCC would like to commemorate its 25 years of cooperative service. The Annual General Assembly allows PCC’s cooperative members-shareholders to convene and discuss the current status of the cooperative. Aside from the annual report, the cooperative management will also discuss the future plans and actions of PCC – for the approval of the general assembly. The AGA will also hold the elections of the new Board Members for the upcoming year.

This year’s theme – “Panata at Pagtataya: Dalawampu’t Limang Taon ng Paglilingkod sa Sektor at Bayan” – PCC recognizes the stake, sacrifices, vow, and devotion of its pioneering member-cooperatives, for without them, PCC will not be where it is today. For its 25^th year, PCC celebrates its roots and founding cooperators as PCC breaks barriers and creates more milestones for the future.

The event will be held on June 29-30, 2022 at the Cocoon Boutique Hotel, Quezon City. Please see details of the 2-day event on the attached “Program of Activities”. Messages of solidarity and support will be coming from different government officials and senators, namely Sen. Risa Hontiveros and Sen. Migz Zubiri – among others. Established cooperative leaders will also be in attendance.
