Hundreds of cooperatives nationwide are expected to gather in Dumaguete in October this year for the holding of the Philippine Cooperative TEAM (Together, Everyone Achieves More) Shop.
At a press conference here Wednesday, Dr. Profetiza Lim, head of the City Cooperative Development Council, announced that Gov. Emilio Macias II has already pledged to support the three-day national summit in Dumaguete with a funding of P2 million.
Lim said the TEAM Shop has been scheduled for Oct. 1 to 3, and is expected to boost local economic activity, increase tourism exposure, and showcase the province’s different cooperatives and their success stories.
Earlier, the National Cooperative Development Council and its provincial and city counterparts here had signed a memorandum of agreement with the governor on hosting the TEAM Shop this year.
Dr. Lim said she and other officials from the cooperative development councils will be visiting Butuan in early March in preparation for the TEAM Shop.
Butuan played host to the last TEAM Shop, she added. - pna
