๐™๐™€๐˜ผ๐™๐™๐™๐™€ | Bigkis ng Bayan: COOP-UNITY, Sandigan ng Tsuper at Magsasaka sa Panahon ng Krisis

Sa gitna ng patuloy na pagtaas ng presyo ng langis at pangunahing bilihin, muling pinatunayan ng sektor ng kooperatiba ang kapangyarihan ng pagkakaisa sa pamamagitan ng paglulunsad ng programang COOPUNITY: Katuwang ng Tsuper sa Pasada. Sa pagtutulungan ng Koop.Works at Union of Metro Manila Cooperatives (UMMC), isinakatuparan ang isang inisyatibo na hindi lamang tumutugon sa agarang pangangailangan ng mga tsuper, kundi nagbibigay rin ng suporta sa mga lokal na magsasaka.

Nagsimula ang araw sa isang maikling oryentasyon na nagbigay-linaw sa mahalagang papel ng mga union cooperatives sa pag-uugnay ng ibaโ€™t ibang kooperatiba upang makalikha ng mas malawak na epekto sa lipunan. Ipinaliwanag din dito ang layunin ng COOP-UNITY bilang tugon sa kasalukuyang hamon ng ekonomiya. Layon nitong maibsan ang pasanin ng mga Public Utility Jeepney drivers, TNVS drivers, at riders na direktang naaapektuhan ng pagtaas ng presyo ng krudo. Kasabay nito, pinalawak din ng programa ang saklaw ng pagtulong sa pamamagitan ng pagkuha ng bigas at gulay mula sa mga kooperatiba, na nagbibigay ng dagdag na kita sa mga magsasaka.

Sa aktwal na repacking ng relief goods, kapansin-pansin ang organisado at masiglang pagtutulungan ng mga boluntaryo. Agad silang nagbahagi ng mga gawain upang masigurong maayos at episyente ang proseso. May mga nakatuon sa pagsukat ng tig-tatatlong kilo ng bigas sa bawat pack, habang ang iba naman ay maingat na pumipili at naghahanda ng mga gulay upang matiyak ang kalidad nito. Mayroon ding grupo na nagsasaayos ng pantay-pantay na bahagi ng bawat relief pack upang masigurong patas ang matatanggap ng bawat benepisyaryo. Sa kabila ng abalang gawain, nanatiling magaan ang kapaligiran, na pinupuno ng tawanan at kwentuhan ng mga kalahok.

Sa pamamagitan ng sama-samang pagsisikap, matagumpay na nakabuo ang grupo ng 150 relief packs na ipamamahagi sa mga tsuper mula sa Marikina, Pasig, Pateros, at Taguig bilang unang batch ng distribusyon noong ika-3 ng Mayo. Para sa mga benepisyaryo, ang simpleng tulong na ito ay nagsisilbing malaking ginhawa sa kanilang pang-araw-araw na pamumuhay.

Ayon sa mga tagapag-organisa, ang COOP-UNITY ay hindi lamang isang programang pangtulong, kundi isang simbolo ng kapayapaan at pakikiisa ng ibaโ€™t ibang sektor. Ipinapakita nito na sa panahon ng krisis, ang pagtutulungan ang nagsisilbing sandigan upang makabangon.

Hinihikayat din ng mga boluntaryo, tulad ni Gwenn Alaurin ang kapwa kabataan na patuloy na makilahok sa mga ganitong gawain. Para sa kanya, kahit ang simpleng pagkilos ay may malaking ambag sa kapwa.

Ang COOP-UNITY ay hindi pagtatapos ng isang proyekto, kundi simula ng mas marami pang inisyatibo na naglalayong maghatid ng pag-asa at pagbabago sa komunidad.

Sa araw na ito, itinatampok natin ang lakas at boses ng uring manggagawaโ€”ang mga kamay na bumubuo ng ating lipunan at ang lakas na nagpapatakbo ng ating ekonomiya. Kilalanin natin ang sipag, tiyaga, at dedikasyon ng bawat manggagawang patuloy na nagpapagal para sa pag-unlad ng ating bayan, sapagkat ang bawat ambagโ€”malaki man o maliitโ€”ay mahalaga.

Sama-sama nating itaguyod ang karapatan ng manggagawa at tiyaking may pagkilala at katarungan sa bawat paggawa, ngayong Araw ng mga Manggagawang Pilipino.

Have you ever noticed how a simple moment can be turned into something meaningful? Thatโ€™s the beauty of haikuโ€”a form of poetry from Japan that captures feelings, nature, at mga munting sandali in just a few words.

Today, we celebrate International Haiku Poetry Day, a reminder that kahit sa pinaka-simpleng salita, may ganda at saysay na matatagpuan. Enjoy these haiku written in both English and Filipino, and let them bring you moments of quiet reflection.

Heads up, Cooperators!

ADVISORY | IN-PERSON MIDTERM EXAMS FOR MONDAY CLASSES ON APRIL 13 AND 20

The Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs of Polytechnic University of the Philippines has issued a memorandum stating that Monday classes, even under a work-from-home (WFH) setup, are permitted to conduct in-person midterm examinations on April 13 and 20.

The memo also notes that due to a shortage in generator supply, the East and West wings of the Main Building will not have electricity on the said dates. Consequently, classes are encouraged to secure alternative venues such as the South Wing of the Main Building, Laboratory High School, Condotel, and other satellite campuses including COC, CEA, ITECH, and Hasmin for their in-person midterm exams.

From silence and sorrow comes the promise of new life. The Resurrection of Christ reminds us that hope endures and light will always find its way through the darkest moments.

May this season renew our hearts with faith, joy, and gratitude. As we celebrate, may we carry the message of hope, love, and new beginnings in all that we do.

Happy Easter!
