  27. The Philippine Cooperative Movement: Problems and Prospects (1986 – present)

  28. People Empowerment and Cooperative Movement • People empowerment is the correct path in solving the problems of poverty and income inequity. • It is the process of transferring economic and social power from one center to another and/or the creation of a new center complementary to or in competition with the traditional center (H. Morales).

  29. Cooperatives and other labor enterprises are among the major pillars of the people empowerment movement (Sibal, 1991). • This movement aspires for a strong pro-people mixed economic society where the state, private and civil society sectors are harnessed in the development efforts of the society.

  30. Brief History of the Philippine Cooperative Movement The first stage (1896 to 1941)- • Pre-formation- germination of coops by revolutionary illustrados • Formation- Raiffeisen-type agri-based coops introduced by U.S. missionaries and teachers and western-educated Filipinos • State-initiated farmers coops by the American colonial administrators.

  31. Second stage (1941 to 1986), 5 phases • 1st phase (Japanese occupation)- rapid increase in cooperatives as a result of food shortages • 2nd phase- Rehabilitation period after WW II • 3rd phase- Resurgence of the state-initiated coops) • 4th phase- Introduction and rise of the non-agricultural coops • 5th phase- Martial law period and the “politization” of the coop movement.

  32. 3rd stage of the Philippine coop movement (1986 to present) • Emerged as a potent political force • 1998 party list elections, elected 3 sectoral representatives • 2010, 5 Party list representatives in the Philippine Congress • Various cooperative laws were codified under RA 6938 in 1990 and amended by RA 9520 in 2009.

  33. 3rd stage of coop movement (1986 to present)- Highlights • The coop movement’s involvement in parliamentary struggle avoided “politization” and too much state intervention under the principle of subsidiarity. • Operating coops increased by 393 percent from 1983 to 1993, and by 540 percent from 1993 to 2009.

  34. The coops’ businesses shifted to higher value added multi-purpose coops and its total assets leaped from a measly P1.05 Billion in 1985 to P176 Billion in 2009. • The movement’s contribution to the country’s GDP has reached 5.14 percent in 2007.

  35. Pres. Pnoy’s Path of Inclusive Growth • The focus of President PNoy Aquino’s Philippine Development Plan is an “inclusive growth” strategy. • It means active participation of the citizenry in the country’s growth and a major beneficiary at the same time (ILO, 2010). • It is focused in maximizing job creation in reducing poverty. Hence, the role of the cooperative sector is a vital component in this national endeavor.

  36. Table 1. Philippine Cooperatives, 1939-2009 Sources: 1939-1985- Gray Wine Think Tank, 1993- CDA, 2009- CDA & DOF *1993 (Braid) & 2009 membership covers only confirmed coops

  37. Chart 1- Phil. Cooperatives-1939-2009 (Number, No. Confirmed, Members and Assets)

  38. 3rd stage of coop movement (1986 to present)- Highlights • The total registered cooperatives increased dramatically by 7.5 times from 1985 to 1993 compared to an increase of only a little over 3 times from 1993 to 2009 (Table 1 & Chart 1).

  39. 3rd stage of coop movement (1986 to present)- Highlights The performance of operating cooperatives increased by 3.9 times from 1985 to 1993, and 5.3 times from 1993 to 2009. • This means that more cooperatives are becoming viable after they are registered in 1993-2009 compared to those registered in 1985-1993.

  40. 3rd stage of coop movement (1986 to present)- Highlights • The increases in the number of operating cooperatives were bigger in multipurpose cooperatives at 790 percent in 2009, followed by services at 448 percent, producers at 316 percent and marketing at 235 percent. Credit was steady at 157 percent in 2009 (Table 1). • Cooperatives now engage in higher value processes compared to lower value processes involved in credit and consumer store operations.

  41. 3rd stage of coop movement (1986 to present)- Highlights • Compared to the first and second stages of the coop movement where the government initiated and organized coops for political and anti-insurgency purposes, the third stage of the coop movement avoided these past mistakes with the government supporting the movement with emphasis on the principle of subsidiarity or non-interference on internal coop affairs.

  42. 3rd stage of coop movement (1986 to present)- Highlights • Cooperatives during the third stage of the coop movement became more viable and productive. There were lesser coop failures. The operating coops grew rapidly since the total assets of the coop movement leaped from a measly P1.05 Billion in 1985 to P118.4 Billion in 1995, and to P176 Billion in 2009.

  43. Table 4. Total Assets of Operating Cooperatives (2009) Source: CDA and DOF

  44. 3rd stage of coop movement (1986 to present)- Highlights • Micro coops dominate the coop sector at 84 percent. If combined with small coops, their numbers reach up to 95 percent. Their assets however total only 14.5 percent compared to the large coops which number only 1 percent but own 64 percent of the total assets.

  45. 3rd stage of coop movement (1986 to present)- Highlights • The good thing about this is that micro coops, even with small capitalization, are able to provide more jobs to the poor. Large coops, on the other hand are able to engage in higher value production processes as shown in Tables 3 and 4.

  46. 3rd stage of coop movement (1986 to present)- Highlights • The concept of “big brother, small brother” cooperation among cooperatives is necessary. • Federation and union work has now become very crucial in furthering the growth of the coop movement. • Big coop primaries and federations need to merge or consolidate like the NATCCO-MASS-SPECC consolidation plan in 2012.

  47. 3rd stage of coop movement (1986 to present)- Highlights • The big coops, acting as big brothers, need to harness the capabilities of micro and small coops by technology transfers and joint cooperative business ventures like the MICOOP program of the NATCCO. • Other new trends in coop business ventures include branding of coop products and services, franchising or networking arrangements, or even outsourcing.

  48. Performance of coops in the regions • Davao (Region XI) highlights the coop movement’s successes in the regions. • leads in coop membership at 54.4% of the population of 19 years old and above. • with 1.2 million members, it has an average coop membership of 523 per cooperative • contributed nine percent to the region’s GDP, following Socsargen (Region XII) at 12% contribution to the regional GDP and Western Visayas (Region VI) at 4.5% contribution to the regional GDP (Tables 5 and 6).

  49. Performance of coops in the regions • Bicol (Region V) and Southern Tagalog (Region IV) are the least performers in coop membership and in regional contribution to GDP. • Region IV is a fast growing region in manufacturing and services, hence coops cannot compare with the output of big manufacturing enterprises. • Bicol region, being a depressed region in terms of manufacturing, needs more intense coop development to help empower the poor.
