Sa bulan sa Abril, ang National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA), uban sa Department of Tourism (DOT), Department of Agriculture (DA), ug Philippine Culinary Heritage Movement (PCHM), nag-una sa pagsaulog sa Filipino Food Month (Buwan ng Kalutong Pilipino) 2026, pinasikad sa Presidential Proclamation No. 469.

Ang tema karong tuiga—“Connected by Taste: Filipino Food in the Flavors of ASEAN”—nagpasiugda sa atong koneksyon isip mga Pilipino ngadto sa mas halapad nga Southeast Asian culinary heritage, samtang gipasidunggan ang atong kaugalingong lami, tradisyon, ug istorya sa pagkaon.

Para sa MORESCO-1, ang pagkaon dili lang sustenance sa atong kinabuhi—kini konektado sa enerhiya, agrikultura, ug komunidad.

Ang matag lamesa nga puno sa pagkaong Pilipino nagsugod sa:

Mga mag-uuma ug mangingisda nga naghatag og suplay
Kasaligan nga kuryente nga nagpadagan sa produksyon, cold storage, ug food processing
Mga komunidad nga nagtinabangay aron mapreserbar ang atong kultura

Sa matag balay nga nasanagan sa kuryente, adunay kusina nga nagbukal sa kinabuhi ug panaghiusa.

💡 MORESCO-1 is proud to energize communities that sustain our food systems—gikan sa uma hangtod sa lamesa.
Padayon nato nga suportahan ang lokal nga pagkaon, lokal nga mag-uuma, ug ang kultura nga naghiusa kanato isip usa ka nasod.

MORESCO-1, AMRECO Convenes MCO Virtual Summit to Uphold Consumer Rights in Power Sector

admin

March 17, 2026 — The Association of Mindanao Rural Electric Cooperatives, Inc. successfully convened its MCO Virtual Summit today March 17, 2026, bringing together Member Consumer Organization (MCO) leaders, electric cooperatives, and affiliated groups across Mindanao in a unified stand for consumer rights and public interest in the power sector.

Held in observance of World Consumer Rights Day, the summit marked a significant milestone as a coordinated campaign opposing the privatization of electric cooperatives. Participants, including EC MCO leaders, electricians’ associations, National Confederation of Electric Consumers for Reforms, and other organized EC-affiliated groups, joined the virtual engagement while physically assembling in their respective electric cooperative offices under the supervision of General Managers and the Institutional Services Department.

The activity, locally led by MORESCO-1’s ISD staff, emphasized the collective responsibility of electric cooperatives and their member-consumers to safeguard affordable, reliable, and publicly accountable electric service. The summit also reinforced the shared commitment of stakeholders to protect the integrity of rural electrification and ensure that electric power remains a service oriented toward community development rather than purely commercial interests.

With strong participation across the region, the MCO Virtual Summit had shown the growing solidarity among Mindanao electric cooperatives like MORESCO-1 in advancing consumer welfare, strengthening sectoral unity, and addressing emerging policy challenges in the energy landscape.

El Salvador City, Misamis Oriental | November 13, 2025 —
In its continuing commitment to empower communities and strengthen local partnerships, MORESCO-1 conducted a Community Needs Assessment for Livelihood Programs today at the Barangay Cogon Hall, El Salvador City.

The activity was spearheaded by MORESCO-1 Director John Derrick M. Lorono, and led by Member-Customer Development Chief Rio M. Vallejo together with Community Development Officer Engr.

The program was held in partnership with the Mindanao State University at Naawan’s DARES Center — short for Develops, Adopts, Responds, Encourages, and Sustains Center — which serves as the university’s extension and community development arm. The MSU-Naawan team was represented by Mr. Lyndon Roa and Mr. Rebino Batoto, who shared valuable insights and methodologies in identifying viable community-based livelihood interventions.

Representing Barangay Cogon were Kagawad Ever Domingo and the Federated Member-Consumer Organization (MCO) President of El Salvador Kagawad Jovito Ocon, who both expressed gratitude for MORESCO-1’s proactive engagement in understanding and addressing the local needs of their constituents.

Through this collaborative effort, MORESCO-1 continues to uphold its mission of being “Beyond Power” — energizing communities not only through electricity, but also through developmental partnerships that inspire resilience, inclusivity, and self-sufficiency among its member-consumers.
