3rd Regional Cooperative Congress


The Region XI Cooperative Development Council (RCDC XI) and the Cooperative Development Authority – Davao Extension Office (CDA-DEO), in collaboration with the Women in Cooperatives XI (WinC XI), the Mindanao Cooperative Cancer Society, Inc. (MCCS), and the SMILES (Support ng may K), will be conducting the 3rd Regional Cooperative Congress at CAP Auditorium, Anda St., Davao City on 10 March 2009 from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. This is in celebration of the 19th year anniversary of the so-called Cooperative Twin Laws, namely Republic Act Nos. 6938 and 6939. Obviously, this is the sequel of the two (2) previous congresses which were held nearly three (3) years ago.

This affair shall be the venue to highlight the major programs of CDA, like the distribution of the Cooperative Identification Number (CIN) to all operating cooperatives in Region XI, the salient features of the amended Republic Act No. 6938, distribution of the RCDC XI quarterly publication of the Koop Balita, the 1st anniversary celebration of the MCCS and lecture inputs on Cancer Detection and Prevention and Anti-VAWC Act (RA 9262) in observance of the Women’s Month celebration. Further, there shall be a Cultural Dance Contest wherein the winner will be our official representative to the 1st Asian Cooperative TEAMshop in Cebu City in November 2009.

Senator Miguel “Migz” Zubiri will be the Keynote Speaker of this momentous event being our supporter who took the cudgels and paved the way for enacting enabling cooperative laws to further develop the undertakings of the cooperative movement.
