The PRRM Years...at the Cooperatives Department

My assignment with the cooperatives department involved the promotion,supervision, and development of cooperative societies in the provinces of Nueva Ecija and Pampanga. This activity also included the training of officers of cooperatives in the different aspects of their operation.

My involvement and exposure with the cooperative program of PRRM made it possible for my selection as representative of the Philippines under the Colombo Plan for a study grant in Canada. This was under the sponsorship of Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA)for a diploma course on Social Leadership at the Coady International Institute, St. Francis Xavier University, at Antigonish, Nova Scotia, Canada. This study grant was on September, 1970 up to July, 197l.
