The Philippine Chamber of Cooperatives was created to further increase the opportunities that cooperatives afford its members. “The Philippine Chamber of Cooperatives (Coop Chamber) was created to have more focus [on] cooperative development, especially related to advocacy,” said Coop Chamber President Noel Dalang Raboy, a member of CLIMBS Life and General Insurance Cooperative, who sat down for the interview alongside Coop Chamber Executive Director Edwin Phi Bustillos.
“We don’t have that advocacy group that’s really the voice of the cooperative movement, especially for the rural areas… so it’s so timely that the Philippine Chamber of Coops were able to set up our 16 regional presence,” Raboy added. “We intend to register it to the Securities and Exchange Commission because we want to [be] more liberal in terms of our approach on how we support our cooperative movement.”
