MORESCO-1’s ISD Conducts Strategic Calibration Meeting with Community Development Officers


Towards a Unified and Empowered Community Engagement Framework for 2026

Happening today at the Emmanuel Pelaez Training Center, the MORESCO-1 Institutional Services Department (ISD) convenes with all its Community Development Officers (CDOs) for a vital calibration meeting aimed at aligning its Performance Management and Reporting System (PMRS) with the cooperative’s recently conducted 2026 Annual Work Planning (AWP) session.

This high-level alignment activity is driven by the cooperative’s overarching strategic anchors for 2026:
“Engaged Member-Consumer-Owners (MCOs)” and “Empowered MCOs.”

These twin pillars of engagement and empowerment guide the ISD’s operational roadmap, ensuring that every CDO and field implementer is attuned not only to metrics and deliverables, but to meaningful and transformative community impact.

The session is designed to harmonize performance indicators, service goals, and community development strategies across MORESCO-1’s coverage areas. It highlights the need for adaptive field execution—taking into account evolving grassroots realities, policy directions, and the cooperative’s commitment to inclusive and participatory governance.

A key highlight of the meeting is the integration of the “12 Transformational Tasks in Community Organizing”—a framework that underscores MORESCO-1’s commitment to sustainable community building, progressive social mobilization, and people-centered development. These tasks serve as benchmarks for evaluating the depth and quality of grassroots engagement, ensuring that community organizing moves beyond compliance to real transformation.

The calibration is expertly facilitated by renowned community development practitioner and academic Dr. Dixon Yasay, and presented in context by Rio M. Vallejo, Member-Consumer Development (MCD) Chief. Mr. Vallejo laid down the recalibrated direction for the CDOs in relation to the field realities, aligned with the goals set forth during the AWP.

Crucially, the session emphasizes the strategic alignment of the CDOs’ mandates with the overarching responsibilities of MORESCO-1’s Board of Directors, especially within their respective electoral districts. As frontline implementers, CDOs are expected to actively support the Board’s district-level initiatives and uphold the cooperative’s vision of empowering every MCO—not just as recipients of electric service, but as active stakeholders in rural electrification and community advancement.

This ongoing activity is part of a broader institutional effort to future-proof MORESCO-1’s community-facing functions, strengthen the feedback loop from field to central planning, and build an ecosystem where leadership, accountability, and grassroots voice converge toward the cooperative’s sustainable growth.
