SULU – It was indeed an inspiring moment for members of the of Sulu Provincial Employees Multi-Purpose Cooperative – who held their 11th Annual General Assembly – to hear Governor Totoh Tan speak about “self-sufficiency.”
Tan’s speech reflected on this year’s cooperative theme “Promoting Self-Sufficiency Through Cooperativism: SPEMC’s Response to Contemporary Challenges and Community Development” and urged its members to work hard for the benefit of all.
The young and energetic politician was invited by the SPEMC as its guest of honor. In his speech, Tan said everybody must exert efforts in realizing the cooperative’s goal.
I hope any organization in the province will not only craft beautiful-worded themes or slogans, but must also exert all efforts in realizing the goals it sets for itself. The various projects and programs we have implemented for the people must be appreciated and safeguarded. We cannot hide our disappointments when government properties are not given due attention and remain unappreciated,” he said.
“The SPEMPC as a form of an organization of people can do their part by disseminating correct information on the projects and programs we have implemented in the province instead of highlighting negative events that can do more harm than good. I hope the members of the cooperative will again choose the right people to lead them in the coming year, who will bring them more good things which in turn contribute and assist the Provincial Government in reaching out in the service of our people,” he added.
Tan also led the raffling of prizes for cooperative members during the event. Other guests whoe were invited to the event were Josephine Agas, Cooperative District Supervisor II – District I; Felix Friales and Omar Sangkula, both account officers of the Land Bank of the Philippines in Zamboanga City.
Talib Puning, Habiba Ellih, Zulpikar Ahiri and Ismail Tahil Jr. also rendered a cultural dance and Tahqa Jumdam offered a beautiful song to the governor, who thanked everybody for inviting him and for making him a member of the cooperative.
Cooperative members also praised Tan for his unwavering support and the many accomplishments he made as first-time governor of Sulu. (Ahl-franzie Salinas)
