About us
The Province of Batangas is one of the provincial LGUs which, by virtue of Local
Autonomy thru Resolution No. 292 Year 1995 and Appropriation Ordinance Number AO - 003,
Year 1995, created a full-pledged department known as the "PROVINCIAL COOPERATIVE
DEVELOPMENT OFFICE".
The Plans and Program on Cooperative Development are anchored on the Philippine
Cooperative Medium-Term Development Plan particularly on the competitiveness of
cooperatives, continuously promoting cooperatives, and providing enabling environment
for cooperative strengthening and development.
The PCDO is the CDA counterpart and direct partner in the local / provincial level in
the implementation of national program and policies in cooperative promotion,
organization and development. The political leadership of the province then perceived
the necessity of an independent local office to directly handle the development /
enhancement and sustainability of cooperatives, the backbone of community-based economic
enterprise; thus the creation and operationalization of PCDO.
Vision
