Local officials are keen on organizing entrepreneurs in municipalities in Cotabato province into cooperatives to boost their connectivity with local business blocs and prospective contacts outside.
Cotabato Gov. Emmylou Talino-Mendoza said Sunday her office shall embark on such a plan for her constituents that have small businesses, or are engaged in traditional crafts, to get known to traders in their town centers and to potential capitalists outside of Region 12.
The four awardees, the Carmen Transport Cooperative, the Libungan Marketing Cooperative, the Cotabato Electric Cooperative Employees Group and the Santa Catalina Cooperative that now have millions worth assets, are known good taxpayers too, according to local executives in towns where each operate. “It is my mission, as governor and as chairperson of RDC-12, to help organize entrepreneurs in Cotabato province into cooperatives for local commerce and trade to become even more robust,” Mendoza said.
The two local executives said they are ready to reach out to their Christian and Muslim constituents who are engaged in small barangay-based enterprises to convince them to organize themselves into cooperatives for easy access to government technical and funding support essential to their income-generating activities.
