THERE will be transparency in the running of the newly-formed Mambulao Multi-Purpose Cooperative (MMPC) and in the handling of its funds.
That will be
the order of the day.
This was the
assurance from Elsie Dimaunahan, the co-op coordinator and one of the prime
movers of the group, in a message posted on the co-op’s Facebook site.
Dimaunahan, a
veteran cooperative worker, issued the statement to reject negative comments
against the new co-op organized for Mambulaoans who work overseas and those
locally-based.
She said that
the co-op’s money is deposited with the Rural Bank of Jose Panganiban and its
withdrawal requires the signatures of three officers.
Any withdrawal
will require a resolution that has to be approved by the board.
The savings
passbook is solely under the care of the treasurer.
Dimaunahan
stressed that the operations of the co-op will not be influenced by anybody
holding office at the Mambulao local government.
“Kaya po hindi
sila pinayagang humawak ng kahit anong posisyon sa kooperatiba (that’s the
reason why they were not allowed to hold any position in the co-op).
She said that
under the rules of the Cooperative Development Authority (CDA), only those who
are currently residing in the place of the co-op’s business will be allowed to
hold a position.
Dimaunahan
appealed to the co-op members to ignore any rumors being circulated about their
organization and direct their queries to her through MMPC’s Facebook site.
She said in
her post: “Para po sa mga meyembro, wag po kayong masiraan ng
loob, sa halip, magsaliksik po tayo … alamin ang pagkatao ng taong sinisiraan
at alamin din ang pagkatao ng taong naninira.”
