May I inform you Sisters, that, at TAGUM COOPERATIVE, in Davao del Norte, Philippines, only one male BOD Member sits at the Board. We don't know why women here are more interested to serve the cooperative. It used to be 3 male members. During the Annual General Assembly early this year 2015, there were 3 male candidates but only one male who won. Isn't this a great sign of Woman Empowerment, Ladies? And the Chairperson, Norma R. Pereyras is a multi-awarded sister. We are all proud to be members of the billionaire Tagum Cooperative, with more than 116,000 members as of May, 2015, and of all great news, Tagum Cooperative has no external debt.
