“Recognizing the potential impact of cooperatives on the local economy, their joint efforts contribute to the overall growth and stability of Cagayan de Oro,” said.

By promoting business continuity management practices, as discussed in the seminar, cooperatives are equipped to face and recover from various challenges and disruptions.

“This proactive approach ensures that businesses can continue to operate effectively and efficiently, even in times of uncertainty,” Raagas said.

Meanwhile, the chief of staff of the City Mayor’s Office, Shiela Lumbatan, said that through the economic recovery initiatives of the RISE agenda, Mayor Uy’s goal is to support and empower cooperatives and businesses in Cagayan de Oro.

In addition, Lumbatan said that Mayor Uy’s RISE agenda recognizes the important role of cooperatives in the economic recovery of Cagayan de Oro.

In the recent State of the City speech by the mayor, according to Lumbatan, Uy explained that the city will work towards creating an environment that supports businesses, entrepreneurship, and job creation.

This may include attracting investments, supporting local industries, providing training and skill development programs, and promoting tourism and other sectors that contribute to economic growth, Lumbatan explained.

By focusing on economic recovery, he added that the city aims to revitalize its economy, create employment opportunities, and improve the overall well-being of its residents. Uy emphasized.

He added that the Business Continuity Management seminar sponsored by the Community Improvement Division and the Cooperative Development Authority Region 10 is a testament to the commitment of the city government to provide the necessary tools and knowledge to the members of the cooperative.
