Prior to the 30th Annual General Assembly, the Philippine Federation of Credit Cooperatives – Visayas (PFCCO-Visayas) held a meaningful Educational Forum in the morning at Hotel Essencia, setting the tone for a day centered on leadership, governance, and cooperative excellence.
The forum featured an insightful discussion on “Credit Union Business Solution on Fit and Proper”, delivered by Edilberito B. Euraoba II, Chairperson of the Board of Directors of DCCCO MPC.
In his presentation, Atty. Euraoba emphasized that being “fit and proper” goes beyond qualifications—it is fundamentally about doing what is right and understanding what must be done in every role within the cooperative. He highlighted that integrity, competence, and accountability are essential traits expected from officers, board members, and committee leaders alike.
The discussion underscored how the “fit and proper” principle serves as a guiding standard in ensuring that individuals entrusted with responsibilities in cooperatives are capable, ethical, and aligned with the organization’s mission and values.
Participants gained valuable insights into:
1. The importance of ethical decision-making in leadership
2. The responsibility of each role in maintaining organizational integrity
3. The need for continuous learning and self-improvement among cooperative leaders
4. Empowering Leaders for a Stronger Future
The educational forum provided a platform for reflection and learning, equipping participants with practical knowledge that they can apply within their respective cooperatives. It reinforced the idea that strong governance begins with individuals who are not only qualified but are also committed to upholding the highest standards of conduct.
As PFCCO-Visayas continues to champion education and capacity-building, initiatives like this forum play a vital role in shaping leaders who will drive the cooperative movement forward with integrity, competence, and purpose.
