DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE
We have proven equal to the task.
This year, we shifted gear. From full regulation to a balance of regulation and
development. With it, were changes in priorities and programs but as parens patriae,
we have tranversed into the right direction.
There were notable achievements in 2016 for CDA IX but it was also a year of full of
challenges, with a meager budget and with only twenty-seven (27) personnel
complement, but with determination and teamwork from the men and women, we
have successfully hurdle those challenges in the implementation of our plans and
programs that impacted directly or indirectly towards the promotion and development
of the cooperatives in the region.
As of December 15, 2016, there are nine hundred twenty (920) registered
cooperatives and based on the CAPRIS generated data system around 676,599
individuals are members of the cooperatives or a roughly 19% of the total
Zamboanga Peninsula Region’ 3.6 million populations are into cooperative. The
huge numbers of members are mostly belonging to family within the poverty line and
through cooperative they found shelter for their needs by the different services
accorded to them by the cooperatives. Those, becoming a member of a cooperative
have proven a positive effect to lessen the 36.9% poverty incidence in the region.
Sustaining that effort to continue uplift the economic life of the people, we in CDA IX
take pride in being one of few extension offices to have issued 84 Certificate of
Authority and 29 Letter of Authority to cooperatives to operate a branch and satellite
offices all over the country as additional access point for members on financial and
services toward total inclusive growth.
RUBEN L. CUNANAN, DDM, MPA
Regional Director

3CDA IX REPORT 2016
And through the strong membership participation it has recorded a stunning large
Volume of Business, in the amount of P7.6 billion, which contributed to the 2.04%
Gross Regional Domestic Product (GDP) of the region, in the form of financial and
livelihood programs for the members, in particular and the community, in general and
earned a net surplus of P271 million. This has generated also 3,219 employment or
.23% of the total 1.3 million employed in the peninsula region.
Our accomplishment in 2016 was noteworthy because during the year, we
empowered not only our workforce but most importantly the officers and employees
of the different cooperatives in the region, especially the micro and small, through
appropriate capacity building initiatives, like hands-on training in the preparation and
on-line submission of the cooperative annual reports through our Computer Kiosk;
We have established better linkages with other stakeholders and partners in our
advocacy through the conduct of series of Pre-Membership Education Seminars
(PMES), Kooperatibalitaan and cooperative leaders forum/fora to increase the public
awareness on cooperativsm and the current issuances, rules and regulations; For
the first time in the region, we have also given due recognition to outstanding
cooperatives and cooperatives leaders who made their mark in the 2016 CDA
Gawad Parangal, as well as certificate of appreciation to those who have greatly
contributed to the success of CDA IX.
These are only some of our many achievements in 2016, but this document actually
contained the success stories of all of our accomplishments and we in the CDA IX
would like to thank our partners and other stakeholders for the collaboration and
coordination in all our endeavors to attain our goals to promote and develop the
cooperative sector in the region.
The year 2016 ended with stronger and wiser workforce who exhibited utmost
professionalism, excellence, integrity, commitment and teamwork.
We can confidently claim that we provided better quality of services for the sector
and we look forward to the fruits of what we have sown in the coming years.

EVERY CHALLENGE IS
OPPORTUNITY IN DISGUISE
Every year, the Authority is confronted with many challenges both in planning
and execution of its powers, functions and responsibilities. For 2017, the
following are some of challenges we consider as opportunities:
ASEAN ECONOMIC INTEGRATION (AEI)
While the ASEAN Economic Integration intends to improve the region’s agriculture,
industry, transportation and infrastructure, as well as expand trade, its
implementation poses many challenges among various sectors including the
cooperative in terms of cost, inflation rate, political and socio-cultural diversity, and
financial regulations, among others.
In order to take full advantage of economic growth, this is an opportunity for the
region to develop its human capital and workforce skills thru cooperatives by
boosting productivity and wages, improving job quality, proper cooperative
management and governance.
GLOBAL WARMING
Global Warming is the increase of Earth's average surface temperature due to effect
of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels or
from deforestation, which trap heat that would otherwise escape from Earth.
It is our challenge to stop the gradual increase in the average temperature of the
Earth's atmosphere and oceans, and restore balance to Earth's climate.
This is another opportunity for COOPERATIVES to actively support government’s
efforts to reduce global warming and ensure cooperative communities have the
resources needed to withstand the effects of climate change.
MARKET MONOPOLY
In economics, a monopoly occurs when one company is the sole provider of a good
or service within the industry, lack of substitutes for consumers to choose from and
high barriers to dissuade the entry of any potential competitors.
A monopoly can identify or create a rigid demand curve, restrict supply and cause
deadweight loss to the economy.
Cooperatives can help dissuade market monopoly and ensure healthy economy in

7CDA IX REPORT 2016
terms of price controls, by developing system of price “capping” tying prices to just
below the current general inflation rate, breaking up monopoly into several smaller
firms, and deregulation to enable more efficiency in bringing down barriers to entry
and open up a previously controlled industry to competition and encourage new
entrants to market.
AWARENESS OF BUSINESS POTENTIAL AMONG GOVERNMENT AND
GENERAL PUBLIC
Over the years many cooperatives have complained about vending business
opportunities for variety of reasons including non-delivery of stocks, low quality of
products, or over pricing.
Here are some business strategies to cope with this challenge: (1) Production of
pamphlets for distribution; (2)Cooperative Marketing System develop a series of
corporate networking events throughout the sector by holding exhibits of coop
products at a variety of venues including national and Asian venues to make
business about meeting people and building relationships that leads to further
business and trading; and (3) Keep business updated on local development pipeline
activity, including forthcoming schemes of e-cooptrade.
ECONOMIC GLOBALIZATION
Economic Globalization is an irreversible trend, refers to increasing interdependence
of world economies as a result of the growing scale of cross-border trade of
commodities and services, flow of international capital and wide and rapid spread of
technologies.
Cooperatives can participate in developmental operations to cope with the
globalization processes to enable cooperatives better utilization of comparative
advantages, introduce advanced technologies, foreign capital and management
experiences.
INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY (ICT)
Information and Communication Technology has a number of applications in
business including decision making, record keeping, and information dissemination.
It covers a wide spectrum of specific tools available for business including among
others, internet networks, e-mail systems, videoconferencing and smart technology.
However, majority of the total registered cooperatives who are in the micro/small and
medium category lack the advancement in science and technologies.
This could be an opportunity to infuse ICT trainings and workshops in the program of
the agency and in the developmental plans of the cooperative.

THE ACKNOWLEDGED LEADER
IN REGION 9
It is undeniable that AURORA
INTEGRATED MULTI-PURPOSE
COOPERATIVE (AIMCOOP) is the
prime mover in world class financial
services and the acknowledge leader
in technology and innovation among
primary cooperatives in the region. It
has provided 58 automated teller
machines (ATMs) in the countryside to
fill the gap of the limited ATM services
by commercial banks, thereby fulfilling
its mission to deliver innovative
technology and products, enriching the
lives of the members on financial
needs and services in the community.
ISO CERTIFIED
It is the vision of AIMCOOP to be the strongest and largest
primary cooperative not only in region 9 but in the Philippines,
bringing financial needs and services to everyone. Living up to this
vision and pursuing global competitiveness, AIMCOOP became the first cooperative
to be certified by the TUV Rheinland for its distinctive Quality Management System
covering design, development and delivery of cooperative products and services.

9CDA IX REPORT 2016
IT EXEMPLIFIED BEST PRACTICES THROUGH GOOD
GOVERNANCE AND SOUND MANAGEMENT.
Believing that good communication is the
foundation to sound management, it
created Micro Centers for barangay
clusters and Branch Coordinating Council
(BCC) for province-wide clusters where
regular consultation and information
dissemination is done on a monthly and
quarterly basis, respectively. It is also
during these activities where education
programs on ways and means of
practical living such as financial management and loan
repayment awareness, among others, were infused. This system has efficiently
provided guide and insights to the officers of the coop for better planning and control
while providing regular avenue for members to air their issues and concerns.
Another best practice of AIMCOOP pertains to its dedication to secure its employees
with appropriate social welfare benefits and support to governments campaign for
increase revenue generation.
FUNERAL CARE
For Death leaves a heartache no one can heal,
But Love leaves a memory no one can steal.
AIMCOOP pioneered the best and unique way of showing love for the departed and
easing the heartache of the bereaved family. Upon notice of death of the member in

good standing, the coop comes to the succor of the family by giving outright death
assistance and FREE funeral package.
This free package covers embalming, casket, trouser suit, vigil lights & accessories,
wreath, carpet, tarpaulin, orchestra, hearse, service bus and burial.
This excellent service gave AIMCOOP the boost it needed to become one of the
largest cooperative in the Philippines.
EDUCATION IS THE MOST POWERFUL
WEAPON TO CHANGE THE WORLD
In collaboration with the Local Government
Units and Educational Institutions, AIMCOOP
gave free tuition fee to qualified scholars.
Out of the college scholarship program, the
coop produced 20 successful college graduates.
Seeing the success of the program, and as
privilege
for
laboratory depositors in secondary level,
the coop continued to provide scholarship
grants to deserving high school students.

11CDA IX REPORT 2016
SMALL STEPS, BIG DREAMS.
Seeing the opportunity to train the young
generation on cooperative way and to
prepare them for regular membership,
AIMCOOP taught the value of thrift and
saving mobilization among the members of its
Laboratory cooperative.
The coop also instilled cooperative values,
principles, financial discipline and leadership
skills among its members, to promote and
advance Filipino social and cultural values,
ecological awareness and sustainable
development.
As reported, the participation of the Laboratory Cooperative grew significantly by
90%, deriving an astounding total on savings deposit accounts of Php
80,576,933.39.
This initiative has impacted not only the lives of the children but that of the parents
as well. Now most parents are also upholding the value of thrift and savings for a
secured future.
THE GREATEST GIFT IS GOOD HEALTH. To ensure good health and well-
being of its members,
AIMCOOP is giving free
medical consultation to its
members on a day-to-day
basis. It also provided free
over-the-counter (OTC)
medicines, in order to
materialize its noble aim of
sustaining healthy
membership. It also conducts
medical missions for optical,
dental and other healthcare
aspects regularly to ensure
that this service reach the far
flung areas.

MADE LIFE BETTER
AIMCOOP, in its 49 years of existence has made life better not only for its members
but also for its employees. It has provided a wide array of financial and social
services to its members and has been the active partner of the government and non-
government organization in providing community development services in terms of
employment, technology, environment, education, health and livelihood programs. In
its desire to become the largest and strongest cooperative in the Philippines, it
maintained a dynamic workforce driven by the core values of Respect, Integrity,
Commitment and Excellence.
Today, it continued to provide better quality of life to 1,030,301 members and 925
employees throughout its 76 offices nationwide.

TRIUMPH OVER OBSTACLES
Barangay Menzi and Cabunbata in Isabela City,
Basilan Province, were among the places where
insurgent activities were of regular occurrence
that is why government interventions used to
be unsuccessful.
Ignorance and illiteracy were prevalent
because of lack of education. People thrive
through isolation. But when you visit these
places today, you will be surprised how the
community has overcome.
When you saunter around the community, you will
notice that commercial activities are regularly undertaken. Schools
buildings, churches and mosques, multipurpose halls and health centers now occupy
spaces in once desolated land.
At the forefront of development is the United Workers Agrarian Reform
Beneficiaries Multi-Purpose Cooperative (UWARB MPC).
Motivated by its thirst for genuine peace, UWARBMPC sheltered the 4th
Special
Forces Battalion at Cabunbata, Isabela City, knowing that progress can only be
achieve when there is peace and order in the community.
After taking such bold steps, UWARBMPC started to cultivate the land in peace and
with it comes progress. Some of the major accomplishments were seen in the
following areas:
HOUSING. Member-beneficiaries
are individually provided with a 600
square meter home lots where they
construct their houses made of
wooden and concrete materials
with galvanized roofing sheet.
WATER DISTRIBUTION. Coop members
enjoy clean and healthy drinking water for free
while the entire City of Isabela shared such bounty
through the Isabela Water District (ISAWAD).

EDUCATION. UWARBMPC gave the
beneficial use of parcels of the land owned
by the cooperative for Cabunbata
Elementary School and Isabela City
National High School.
75 persons who graduated from
Elementary school are already workers and
employers of UWARBMPC. 25 persons who graduated from
Elementary School are already employed in different agencies here in Isabela
City, Zamboanga City and Cebu.
The coop also provided free school bus
to the Sons & daughters of coop
members and workers who availed of
the Night Classes at the Claret College
in Isabela City.
With its accessible credit facilities,
children of member-beneficiaries were able to study in other
colleges and university in the neighboring cities.
SPIRITUAL GROWTH. The coop
helped in instilling faith and hope in
the community and gave the
beneficial use of parcels of land to
Sta. Teresa de Avila Parish
and Cabunbata Mosque.
HEALTH. UWARBMPC helped in
the promotion of health and wellness
in the community by giving the
beneficial use of a parcel of land for
Cabunbata Barangay Multipurpose
Hall and Health Center.

WITHSTANDING THE TEST OF
TIME
True to its commitment to
provide sustainable livelihood
for its member-beneficiaries,
the officers of the
Goodyear Agrarian
Reform Beneficiaries
Multi-Purpose
Cooperative in Kabasalan,
Zamboanga Sibugay, pushed
their way through the economic
crisis brought about by the
drastic fall of the price of rubber products from as
high as P130.00 per kilo in 2013 to the devastating decrease of P16.00 per kilo
beginning 2014.
During those difficult years, while many Agrarian Reform Cooperatives in the region
suffered causing many of the plantation workers to look for greener pasture
elsewhere, the officers looked for other business opportunities using their available
resources.
Out of the vast track of land they owned totaling to 1,016 hectares, the 998 hectares
devoted for rubber plantation were also planted with fruit trees such as durian and
mangosteen using the intercropping system. Through this effort, the coop generated
average gross sales of P1M per year.
During the crisis, members run to the cooperative for their basic needs and the
cooperative was able to provide for it through its consumer business however, the
bulk of the demand is for rice, corn and fish. Seeing this as another opportunity, the
officers decided to utilize another 26 hectares of land and converted it to paddy field,
rice mill and solar dryer for rice production which earn for them an average gross
sales of P1.5M a year and another 26 hectares of river and swamp as fish ponds
which earn for them an average gross sales of P1M a year.
STANDING STRONG
Today, the cooperative not only provided for sustainable livelihood for their member-
beneficiaries, it also helps improve the lives of the community by providing:

 SHELTER. Where 220 housing
units is being constructed for its
member-beneficiaries
including retirees.
 WATER. Water distribution system which provided for free
potable water among 250 households within the plantation;
 LIGHT. Light post lighting 380 house-holds within the plantation;
 TRANSPORTATION. Free marketing truck weekly from Kabasalan to Ipil
market, free transportation for 100 students to and from Kabasalan National
Hi-school and free transport of seriously ill/injured patients from Kabasalan to
Zamboanga City;
 HOSPITALIZATION. Free hospitalization to
workers and their dependents at Pathfinder
Hospital, Goodyear, Kabasalan, where 85% of
430 household has benefited;
 HEALTH & EDUCATION. Donated 2
hectares of land for elementary school
and health center in brgy. Garbemco,
Kabasalan, Zamboanga Sibugay.
This cooperative has proven that every difficulty is an opportunity, that crisis can be
a blessing with the right attitude and unshakable commitment.

THUMBS UPTHUMBS UP
An impressive number reaching to 354 out of 438 compliant cooperatives, as of
2015, successfully submitted their CAPR thru the CAPRIS.
This achievement was propelled with the establishment of ON-LINE KIOSK at the
Extension Office.
With this readily available facility, the EO has extended better technical assistance
to its clients in encoding the 2015 CAPR.

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER
The result of the series of orientation/briefing conducted during the 1st
quarter this
year was remarkable. Not only as to the number of participants who attended but
mostly as to its effect on compliance.
354 out of 438 compliant coops, as of 2015, filed their Mandatory Reports and 70%
of which did it on time.
Other significant achievement was the widespread awareness of the important
changes brought about by the Revision of the Implementing Rules and Regulations
particularly on Training Requirements for coop officers and Annual Reports.

Proper regulation effectively averted the occasional growth of sham cooperatives.
And actual validation affirmed this concept.
In region 9, two (2) coops were denied registration mainly on such ground.
Aside from being an effective regulatory tool, actual validation has aided the EO in
ascertaining the potentials of the business operation of the cooperative.
Actual validation revealed that 48% or 15 proposed coops were already in operation
prior to registration.
REGULATION AT
ITS BEST

And that Merchandising, Credit and Savings are
the most common economic activity engaged by
the proposed coops as shown in the table 1

In addition to the one on one transaction with walk-in clients and those extended to
clients thru other means such as telephone conversations and text messaging,
FREE Seminars on Coop Taxation, Dispute Settlement Mechanisms & Remedies
were regularly conducted every last Friday of the month from April to September
2016.
108 coop leaders and employees throughout the zamboanga peninsula gathered in
the regional office to attend these seminars.
Out of this endeavor, the number of coops who submitted their Reports on
Mediation/Conciliation conducted for the year increased by 40%. It has also
increased the level of awareness of coop officers on legal provisions in their exercise
and enjoyment of the tax exemption privileges as well as their corresponding
obligations to the government.
LIBRE PARA SA
MINAMAHAL NAMING
KLIYENTE

Garden Orchid Hotel hosted 43 delegates
during the Launching of Koop Balitaan in
Zamboanga City on March 04, 2016.
Members of the press and coop leaders were
awed by the zeal and vigor of Chairman
Orlando R. Ravanera in answering their
questions.
It was then that they heard firsthand the plans
and programs of the Authority anchored on the
Constitutional mandate of promoting the
viability and growth of cooperatives as
instruments of equity, social justice and
economic development.
This event was broadcasted via IBC 11
TELERADYO.
Later this year, a team from the Regional Office
headed by Dir. Cunanan in coordination with the Local Government Unit of the area
and the Department of Agrarian Reform visited Ipil, Zamboanga Sibugay, Dipolog
City and Dapitan City on November 22-24, 2016, conferred with 86 delegates
representing 55 coops to discuss pertinent updates and relevant guidelines in
preparation for the submission of the 2016 Annual Report. During these events, BIR
RMC No. 102-2016 was highlighted and copy were distributed with the goal of
helping coop officers comply with the TIN requirement.

Against all odds, 869 individuals throughout the region have availed of the FREE
Pre-Membership Education Seminar (PMES).
We take great pride in delivering these services at the doorstep of the registering
coops for FREE. Near or far, rain or shine, at all types of terrain, WE DELIVER. Such
that 100% of the 26 request for PMES was served without counting those who were
served during regular sessions held at the regional office.

LINKAGES AND PARTNERSHIP:
STRONG AS BEFORE
We in the CDA IX have at all times ensured our consistent collaboration and
coordination with other stakeholders in the success of the implementation of the
cooperative programs and activities in the region to maintain that strong partnership
and commitment of support to the program.
In 2016, we paid a courtesy call with the City Mayor of Dapitan Rosalina Jalosjos
wherein we provided her a brief background the status of the cooperative in her area
as well as the CDA programs and activities. Our meeting with the mayor established
a more tangible partnership with the Local Government of Dapitan City, Zamboanga
del Norte, and the Committee on Cooperatives, Chaired by the young and energetic
Councilor Hon. Patrick Chan, who appreciated our actions to meet him and
discuss about cooperative development. He committed to support any initiative that
CDA IX would implement in the City of Dapitan. Consequently, with our
encouragement, Hon. Chan, in his first attendance last November 29, 2016, was
elected as the Vice Chairman of the Provincial Cooperative Development Council
(PCDC), Zamboanga del Norte. Next would be for us to sit down with the new set of
officers for the crafting of the PCDC Cooperative Development Plan.
With several changes in leadership politically at local levels after the national election
in 2016, we too have to ensure the continuity of our plans and programs by further
strengthening the existing partnership with our local government units in the region.
As such sometime in August, we paid a courtesy call to the newly installed
Chairperson on the Committee on Cooperatives, Hon. Councilor Jihan Edding.
During our talk, she initially propose to CDA IX the program on One Barangay-One
Cooperative which we immediately manifested our interest to formally discuss the
plan with the Zamboanga City Cooperative Development Council (ZCCDC).
The series of CDA Kooperatibalitaan held in the first quarter of 2016 and lately in
November were conducted in partnership with our different Cooperative
Development Offices (CDO), like Dipolog City, Municipality of Ipil, through the office
of the Vice Mayor and Ipil Cooperative Development Officer, Province of Zamboanga
Sibugay and Dapitan City. This joint effort benefitted at least 200 individual members
from different cooperatives.

(SOEMPOCO)
The Pagadian City Cooperative Development Office has continuously supported the
CDA IX in providing technical assistance to our micro cooperatives especially in the
submission of reports.
We proposed last November 2016 for a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with
the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), Zamboanga Sibugay Province for a joint
effort to assist our micro cooperatives in terms of capability training. To date, we are
still waiting for any development from DTI on our proposal. We have also
communicated Department of Agriculture Regional Office No. 9 and our intention to
have an appointment with the Regional Executive Director to present to him our
proposal for MOU to assist our agriculture cooperatives on trainings and technical
assistance. We are optimistic that the meeting will be happening on January 2017.
We have maintained our harmonious relationship with the cooperative sector. In fact,
last October 2016 CDA IX, in partnership with Western Mindanao Federation of
Cooperatives (WMFEDCO), Pinan Multi-Purpose Cooperative and Siayan Officials
and Employees Multi-Purpose Cooperative (SOEMPUCO), love drive and feeding
program activities were conducted in the different parts of the region to less fortunate
residents and pupils which we can claim that for even one (1) day poverty have been
eradicated. This has been done consistently for the past two (2) years to fight
poverty.

among men and women were discussed.
Prof. Rosalyn Romo-Echem, Director of the Gender Research and
Resource Center (GRRC) of the Western Mindanao State University
(WMSU) provided not only the best insights about the topic but also the
best seminar experience a participant can have.
The Authority, for its part, discussed the salient features of the Guidelines
on Mainstreaming of GAD in the cooperative and stressed the importance
of establishing a functional committee and inclusion of GAD Program in
their development plan.
As an offshoot, 24 coops has complied with the requirement of inclusion

Consultation for the 2017-
2022 Regional Development
Plan initiated by NEDA IX,
CDA-PEO consistently
pushed and has succeeded
for the inclusion of capacity
building initiatives for micro
and small coops.
OUR COMMITMENT
In line with the Authority’s
commitment to make the lives of our
people better thru cooperativism,
CDA-PEO signed the Pledge for
AMBISYON 2040.
AMBISYON NATIN 2040 is the
initiative of the National Economic
Development Authority to improve
the quality of lives of the Filipino
people for the next 25 years. The
target goal is at 2040 Filipinos will
have better opportunities, improved
living standards, and good economic
standing thereby eradicating poverty.

We have finally submitted the required documents. What a feat
indeed. It took us almost a year to gather all the required
documents but excellence and dedication paved the way.
After going through those procedures we can honestly say that
WE EARN IT.
Now, we are excitedly waiting for the release of the FIFTEEN
MILLION PESOS budget for the proposed Three (3) storey
building which will house the entire CDA Pagadian personnel.
CONSISTENCY
Again, the result of the audit conducted by the Civil Service
Commission (CSC) on compliance with the citizen’s charter
revealed the EO’s consistency in upholding the law.
10 out of 12 criteria were complied on the spot while the other 2
were complied within 24 hours from audit.
While the regular course of the audit would take 3 to 5 days, it
took less than 5 hours for the auditor to complete the audit
process.
We have proven through time that we have lived up to our core
values of Excellence, Commitment, Integrity and Teamwork.
NEW FEAT

Among the priority concerns of the regional
management is to afford increased
opportunities for capacity building among its rank.
