Our future, today!
People in poverty need to create opportunities for themselves to improve their economic well-being. The National Confederation of Cooperatives (formerly known as National Association of Training Centers for Cooperatives or NATCCO) was formed by cooperators who believe that the task of coop development lays primarily in the hands of the private sector.
Natcco Network
NATCCO is the National Confederation of Cooperatives, a co-op federation established in 1977 currently with membership of more than 1,000 primary cooperatives in the Philippines.

This 2026 International Day of Family Remittances (IDFR), we celebrate the theme: “Remittances for Rural Resilience, Entrepreneurship and Employment”—recognizing the vital role of migrant workers and their contributions in driving economic growth, livelihood, and resilience in rural communities. 🌾💚
As a strong advocate of financial inclusion and the welfare of overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) and their families, NATCCO Network remains committed to providing accessible financial services, savings programs, and sustainable livelihood opportunities that help families maximize the impact of remittances toward productive investments, entrepreneurship, and community development.
Through its Diaspora Program, NATCCO Network strengthens the connection between OFWs and their home communities by promoting financial literacy, encouraging savings and investments, facilitating remittance-linked financial services, and creating opportunities for long-term economic empowerment. The program helps transform remittances into sustainable tools for family well-being, rural resilience, and job creation.
Together, let us continue building resilient rural communities and empowering Filipino families through cooperation, inclusive growth, and the meaningful use of remittances. 🤝✨

The ICA-AP Committee on Women has officially launched its regional decadal study: “𝙀𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝘾𝙤𝙤𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝘿𝙖𝙩𝙖 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘼𝙨𝙞𝙖-𝙋𝙖𝙘𝙞𝙛𝙞𝙘 𝙍𝙚𝙜𝙞𝙤𝙣: 𝙈𝙚𝙢𝙗𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙥, 𝙇𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙥 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙄𝙣𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙩𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙀𝙣𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚𝙧𝙨.”
Building on the impactful studies from 2005 and 2015–16, this initiative aims to deeply understand and map the pathways of women moving from co-op membership into key leadership roles.
To make this a success, we need insights from all levels! We are calling on our network to participate in this survey:

Featured Cooperative of the Month
Toril Community Cooperative
Davao City
After a series of false starts, a group of some thirty men of the Santo Rosario Parish, Toril, Davao City, started attending orientation lecture on Credit Union given by social actionists from the Sta. Ana Parish. Foremost among the social actionists were Mr. Hardenio Hofilenia, Atty. Fernando Alag, Mr. Epifanio Datoy, Mr. Pablo Naong and Mr. Eustaquio Ancheta, the CCC of Davao City. These lectures were conducted sometime in November and December, 1968.
These culminated on December 29, 1968 when, under the supervision and guidance of the City CCO, Mr. Ancheta , these men decided to form the Toril Community Cooperative Credit Union, Inc. and elected their officers, in conformity with the provisions of Republic Act No. 2023. The first elected officers were: Fernando Pantig, President; Pedro Concepcion, Vice President; Constantino Rabara, Secretary; Jose Ferriols, Treasurer/Manager; and Noe Albay, Director

Help & Tips
FINANCIAL TIPS
Be careful to leave your children well-instructed rather than rich; for the hopes of the instructed are better than the wealth of the ignorant. Epictetus, Greek Stoic Philosopher
CO-OP OFFICE SAFETY TIPS
A 10-minute nap produces immediate improvements in all outcome measures (including sleep latency, subjective sleepiness, fatigue, vigor, and cognitive performance), with some of these benefits maintained for as long as 155 minutes. https://www.forbes.com/sites/daviddisalvo/2012/07/24/why-you-should-take-a-10-minute-nap-every-day/#293197a11b0f
ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY TIP
After you eat fruit, plant a tree! On sidewalks, around your house, in an open field, anywhere there is space and light, all you have to do is: 1. bend down 2. push your finger into the soil about to about 2cm (1 inch) depth – or use a pen – and pop that seed in. 3. Then stand on the hole to close it over and tuck it in. 4. And tell your friends and family to do the same! SOURCE: https://wwf.panda.org/get_involved/plant_seed.cfm/
