And each time, we face delays, red tape, and uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s disheartening, especially when you consider that DCCCO has been nothing short of a vital partner in regional development. From providing jobs and livelihood to supporting education, peace, and order, and even contributing to the tourism sector, we are deeply embedded in the fabric of the communities we serve. We make and pay taxes, we innovate, we uplift. Yet when it comes to something as fundamental as access to space, we remain dependent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last July 14\u201315, I was honored to represent DCCCO, alongside BOD Vice-Chairperson Mary Magdalene Villegas and Atty. Ivy Cara Sy, as a resource speaker at the NATCCO Network\u2019s Auditors\u2019 Forum. This event, attended by 96 participants from 28 cooperatives across the country, was a proud moment for us. We shared DCCCO\u2019s transformation story and the values that guide our leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it was also a stark reminder: the event space at our very own DCCCO Hotel could barely accommodate the participants. We\u2019ve outgrown it. The same issue occurred earlier this year during the Culture-Building Workshop we hosted. The limitations are now undeniable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This brings me to a bold but necessary proposition: It\u2019s time for DCCCO to build its own Convention and Multipurpose Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why a DCCCO Convention and Multipurpose Center?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A center of our own would address so many of our recurring challenges while also opening new doors for growth and impact. It would serve as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A permanent home for our assemblies, forums, trainings, and celebrations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A revenue-generating asset through rentals and services<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A community hub that fosters civic engagement and social development<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A tourism and economic driver for local businesses<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A symbol of independence, empowerment, and sustainability<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This isn\u2019t just about building infrastructure. It\u2019s about strengthening DCCCO\u2019s future\u2014creating a space where ideas are born, partnerships are forged, and communities are empowered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What\u2019s Next?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To move forward responsibly, I propose a comprehensive feasibility study to explore the project\u2019s viability\u2014financially, operationally, and strategically. This includes market analysis, cost estimates, funding strategies, and an operational plan to ensure sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, we have a promising site already: a 4.5-hectare property in Barangay Bajumpandan. It\u2019s accessible, spacious, and close to our main operations\u2014a perfect candidate for the future 10,000-capacity DCCCO Convention and Multipurpose Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A Vision Worth Building<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a cooperative, we pride ourselves on being visionary, resilient, and people-driven. Building our own convention center is not just an investment in concrete and steel\u2014it\u2019s an investment in our <strong>autonomy<\/strong>, our <strong>service<\/strong> to members, and our long-term <strong>capacity to lead<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s build not just for today\u2019s needs, but for the generations of members to come. The time has come for DCCCO to stand on its own ground\u2014literally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EACH time the DCCCO Multipurpose Cooperative plan large events\u2014be it our Chapter Assembly, Annual Representative Assembly, anniversary celebrations, and a host of other activities\u2014we rely heavily on government venues.
