BACKGROUND

The Cooperative Development Office (CDO) of the City of Pasig was organized
way back in 1996 largely through the efforts of then City Councilor Cesar S.
Lacuna as Chairman of the Committee on Cooperatives. The office was not
formally created by way of an ordinance however, the new office was placed
under the direct supervision of the Office of the Mayor. Oddly, the City Council
passed one Resolution and two City Ordinances to help the City’s cooperatives
prior to the creation of the Cooperative Development Office. These were
Resolution No.17 Series of 1996 entitled “ A Resolution Formulating Policies,
Guidelines and Procedures for the Administration of
the Cooperative
Development Loan Fund” passed in response to the lobbying of the Maybunga
Multi Purpose Cooperative for the adoption of the CDLF, Ordinance No. 37
Series of 1996 “An Ordinance Creating the Pasig City Cooperative Development
Council” and Ordinance No. 58 Series of 1996 “An Ordinance Creating the
Position of City Cooperative Development Officer, Defining Its Functions, Duties
and Responsibilities , Term of Office, Rate of Compensation and Appropriating
the Funds Thereof”.
It was actually the creation of the position of the
Cooperative Development Officer to administer the Cooperative Development
Loan Fund (CDLF) and organize the Pasig City Cooperative Development Council
(PCCDC) that impelled the creation of the Cooperative Development Office.
