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.
SCHEDULES, VIEWING CENTERS & ZOOM LINKS FOR DISTRICT ASSEMBLIES
To Our Valued Member-Consumer-Owners (MCOs),
We are pleased to remind you that this coming April – May 2025, we will be celebrating the 55th Annual General Membership Assembly (AGMA) alongside the 57th Anniversary of our Electric Cooperative’s establishment.
This year’s AGMA will be conducted through Hybrid Sequential AGMA District Meetings, culminating in a Franchise-Wide Virtual Assembly.
What is a Hybrid Meeting?
A Hybrid AGMA combines both physical and virtual participation through Zoom Modality. To accommodate MCOs facing technological challenges, designated Viewing Centers will be available in each district, where the virtual assembly will be projected live. Despite attending via a Viewing Center, members can still engage in the discussions, send live messages and video comments, participate in deliberations on resolutions, and be part of the plenary sessions.
Important Reminder:
Proxy attendance will NOT be allowed.
You are strongly encouraged to join virtually and participate physically — only in the district where you are affiliated.
You are strongly discouraged from joining both virtually and in person multiple times. Registering for multiple Zoom meetings or attending different viewing centers on separate days is strictly prohibited.
Zoom links for the virtual assembly will be sent via SMS upon registration and verification.

Access to electricity is a key factor in improving lives and fostering development, yet many communities still live in darkness. In response, MORESCO-1, in collaboration with the Institute of Integrated Electrical Engineers (IIEE) – Cagayan de Oro City Chapter and the Local Government Unit of Initao, Misamis Oriental, continues its mission to illuminate households in underserved areas through the Dan’ag (Give Light) – Light-A-Home Program.
On March 8, 2023, a total of 28 households in Puroks 2 and 6, Barangay San Pedro, Initao received the gift of electricity—marking another milestone in our commitment to bridging the energy gap.
Through the dedication of volunteer electricians, engineers, and our community partners, this initiative has brought hope and opportunity to families who now have access to safer, brighter homes.
???? The power of collaboration and bayanihan shines through once again! Together, we continue to light up lives and pave the way for a brighter future.
