Cooperative concepts and activities can help people age and flourish by enhancing their living standards and boosting their freedom and financial independence. It is a method of overcoming personal challenges because relying simply on one's own resources is insufficient to address the widespread issue of poverty.
The National Irrigation Administration, ASDI IMO Surigao del Norte, through Institutional Development Officers (IDO) under the direction of SDN Satellite Head Engr. Susan D. Lariba with the supervision of the Regional Manager Engr. June Nathaniel S. Plaza, initiated to create awareness that a prospective member of a primary cooperative must have a completed Pre-Membership Education Seminar as a requirement for cooperative registration with the Cooperative Development Authority (CDA).
On May 22, 2023, held at Almont Beach Resort, the newly organized Surigao City Irrigators Producers Cooperative attended the Pre-Membership Education Seminar (PMES) with resource speaker Ms. Annabelle E. Madrio, a Provincial Coop Development Specialist.
Surigao City Irrigators Producers Cooperative, composed of nine (9) Irrigators Associations, namely Danao Soyok IA, Surigao IA, Mabini Tugonan IA, Upper Lower Anomar FIA, Trinidad Km 13 IA, Caplayan IA, Cabongbongan IA, and Mat-i IA, is the first IA Cooperative assisted by the National Irrigation Administration Caraga and is soon to be one of the pilot IA Cooperatives in the entire province of Surigao del Norte and Dinagat Islands.
