Good day everyone, It is an honor to stand before you today as we officially launch the new and improved website of the DFA Multi-Purpose Cooperative. This milestone is a testament to our commitment to progress, transparency, and innovation. First and foremost, I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to our Chairman, Mr. Richard T. Billedo, for spearheading this project. Your vision and leadership have been instrumental in making this a reality. To our current Chairman, Maria Theresa Jesusa Albano, thank you for your continued support in ensuring that our cooperative embraces the digital age. I also wish to recognize the invaluable oversight of Mr. Rolando Salazar, whose guidance helped shape this initiative. A huge thank you as well to our partner company, FSI Skyward Logistics, led by Mr. Rex C. Latuño, for their expertise and dedication in bringing this project to life. To the DFAMPC Management and my fellow members of the ICTC Committee, your commitment and hard work have been crucial in making this endeavor a success. The launch of this website is more than just an upgrade—it is a necessity. In today’s digital era, having an online presence is vital for accessibility, efficiency, and engagement. Through this platform, we can enhance communication with our members, provide real-time updates, and ensure transparency in our cooperative’s operations. But this is just the beginning. This website will serve as a foundation for future innovations that will further benefit our members. In the near future, we envision integrating features such as an online membership portal, digital loan applications, real-time account inquiries, online payment facility, and an interactive forum where members can share insights and ideas. These enhancements will make transactions more convenient and improve the overall cooperative experience. Rest assured that the DFAMPC Board of Directors, Management, and its Committees will remain steadfast in our commitment to continuously explore and implement innovations for the benefit of all members. We believe that through technology, we can foster stronger connections, improve services, and ensure a brighter future for our cooperative. Once again, thank you to everyone who contributed to this project. Let us continue working together towards progress and excellence. Mabuhay ang DFAMPC! Thank you and enjoy the rest of the program.
