Employee Volunteer Program

LAGUINDINGAN, Misamis Oriental — October 30, 2025.

The MORESCO-1 Rank and File Employees Association (RAFEA) successfully staged its first-ever Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activity dedicated to senior citizens, dubbed “GOLDEN CARE DAY,” held at the Laguindingan Covered Court.

In celebration of Senior Citizens’ Month, RAFEA extended its care and appreciation to the elderly community through a day of pampering, wellness, and heartfelt interaction.

The event featured free haircuts, massages, and hair coloring services, courtesy of volunteer barbers, massage therapists, and RAFEA ladies. More than just grooming and relaxation, the initiative became a meaningful avenue to express gratitude and respect for the invaluable contributions of our Lolos and Lolas in the community.

In his message, RAFEA President Engineer Michael Jason Estrera expressed gratitude to all participants and volunteers who made the activity possible.

“Activities like this affirm our association’s role not only in promoting employees’ welfare but also in building a culture of collaboration and mutual respect within and outside the organization,” Estrera shared.

The Golden Care Day marks a milestone for RAFEA as it broadens its outreach beyond the workplace, strengthening MORESCO-1’s commitment to community service and compassion.

As the event concluded, laughter, music, and the warm smiles of the elderly reflected the true spirit of the celebration — that care knows no age, and service shines brightest when shared. ????

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

July 10, 2025July 10, 2025 admin

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.
