The final stop of Coop My Day 2025 took place in the province of Catanduanes on March 18, 2025, with 80 participants representing 41 cooperatives.

The activity aimed to bring together the services of the government to client cooperatives, making them more accessible and available at their doorsteps. This shows solidarity and community action.

In addition, the transition from “Coop on Wheels” to “Coop My Day!” was to emphasize that cooperatives should be able to REFLECT, RENEW, RECOMMIT, and REACH OUT through this productive activity, just like how we update our lives with personal “my day” stories. This initiative creates opportunities for meaningful experiences worth sharing and reflecting upon. It fosters renewal, encourages recommitment, and reaches out to new ideas and actions to strengthen cooperative efforts. Through these processes, participants are empowered to engage more deeply with their cooperative values and contribute to its ongoing growth and success.

Updates were shared from all sections of CDA Region V, along with information on the Investment Program for Cooperatives by the Bureau of Treasury and an orientation on the First Philippine Polymer Banknote Series by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas and also cash tips from Bangko De Oro Network Bank. These sessions offered participants valuable insights and practical knowledge to further enhance their cooperative ventures.

This event was made possible through the efforts of the Cooperative Development Authority Region V, with the CDA Catanduanes Contact Office, and in collaboration with the Provincial Local Government Unit of Catanduanes, headed by Hon. Joseph C. Cua, Provincial Governor, the Provincial Cooperative Development Council (PCDC) led by Hon. Jan Ferdinand Alberto, PCDC Chairperson, and the Provincial Cooperative Development Office headed by Mr. Ophar June Dy. The Cooperative Union of Catanduanes also played a vital role in the event’s success.

Coop My Day has now concluded after successfully visiting all six provinces of the Bicol Region. The initiative effectively brought government services closer to client cooperatives, making them more accessible at their doorsteps while reinforcing solidarity and community action.
