Madam:

Greetings!

Among the thrusts of the Local Government Unit of Claver is to support

the sustainability of the livelihood organizations in the locality, particularly the
associations and cooperatives, to realize its goal of food security. This initiative
includes business monitoring, financial evaluation, marketing, business
licensing, and registration. To cope with the competition, the LGU is
encouraging the local business organizations to level up and expand their
business capacity by applying for PhilGeps Accreditation, and FDA License to
Operate.

In view of this, I would like to request an orientation/briefing pertaining

to the updates on the registration with the Cooperative Development Authority
(CDA) of our existing livelihood organizations, and the issuance of a Certificate
of Compliance (COC) for cooperatives since most of the active coops situated
in our area are experiencing challenges in getting the COC. This is also in
adherence to the requirements of the Food and Drugs Administration (FDA)
for the issuance of License To Operate.

Further, I would also like to organize an open forum activity duly

participated by your agency, the Committee on Cooperative (Legislative
Office) of Claver, LEEDM Office, and Claver SDMP Oversight Committee for
other CDA activities and programs that may benefit the cooperatives in our
area.

I look forward to a positive response from you. Thank you.

Sincerely,

GEORGIA D. GOKIANGKEE
Municipal Mayor

Garbo nan Clavernon!
