January 2017

As class resumes on June 13, 2016 for the School Year 2016-2017, PMPC initiated programs relative to Brigada Eskwela advocacy for the benefit of its partner schools to provide a conducive environment for the students. The “Adopt-a-Classroom Program” is an annual school-based partnership where the cooperative allocate funds for a classroom renovation and improvements. This year, Valentin M. Daquio Elementary School of Barangay Manay, Panabo City was selected as the 6th recipient of the program since implementation.

The National Maintenance Week or “Brigada Eskwela” is a program initiated by the Department of Education (DepEd) that aims to restore the value of modern “bayanihan” and bring together teachers, parents and the community to do clean up and repair in public schools to prepare the facilities for the school opening. As part of Cooperative Social Responsibility and as annual participation, PMPC together with its youth members and scholars extended its efforts to take part in the school beautification and restoration, allocating fund for donations of materials needed for the said undertakings.

The famous Fireball mascot which represents the Aflatoun program made the school active and fun as the mascot joined students in their morning exercise during their flag ceremony.

Model Cooperative Movement (MCN) Youth Camp is an experience unlike any other, a place for unforgettable memories and lifelong friendships. Young and enthusiastic students come together from different MCN-affiliated Cooperatives, aged between 6 and 17. This year, the event is a co-educational day camp focusing on sport skills development to promote the benefits of physical activities and healthy lifestyle for the youth. PMPC tapped youth members to join the affair that was held last May 20, 2016 at D’Leonor Inland Resort and Adventure Park, Cabantian, Davao City.
