Last February 19 and 20, 2021, Treasure Link Cooperative Society-SAGADA Main Office and TLCS Laboratory Cooperative conducted a leadership training and personality development to Guesang Youth Organization and Guesang Farmers’ Association at Guesang Multi-Purpose Hall. There were 18 participants from the youth organization, nine (9) males and nine (9) females and for the Guesang Farmers’ Association, there were thirty (30) participants, two (2) males and twenty-eight (28) females. The youth president was present as well as the members and on the other hand, board of trustees, presidents of each committee and the managing staff were present from the Guesang Farmers’ Association. The topics focused on self-leadership, group-leadership, and community-leadership. Personality tests were given to both groups which the participants have really enjoyed.
“Guesang Farmers’ Association is a group of farmers mainly from the Northern part of Sagada which have come together and decided to manufacture products for sale as an income generating activity of the organization. It is one of the small-brother coops of Treasure Link Cooperative Society under the “KOOP KAPATID PROGRAM” of CDA which the cooperative has supported financially through trainings. The coop will continue to monitor the progress of these organizations.”
Guesang Youth Organization is one of the partners of TLCS Laboratory Cooperative in empowering the youth of the community to reach their dreams. As Jose Rizal has said, the youth is the hope of the motherland. And TLCS Laboratory Cooperative together with its vision, will help in any way, in building future leaders of our motherland.
