Dynamic discussions among the speakers and reactors were viewed by the audience, as the NGAs’ programs will directly contribute to the operation of their cooperatives, as well as cooperatives that may be involved or might be interested in the programs presented. The viewers also contributed by posting their questions, comments or recommendation in the CDA Philippines FB page.
