Study Notes
History of Cooperatives in the Philippines
- The first cooperative in Europe, known as The Rochdale Society, was formed in December 1844 by 28 members, primarily weavers.
- Rochdale Pioneers focused on producing goods like flour, sugar, and wheat, and later candles.
- Cooperative Marketing Law (Act 2425) was enacted on December 9, 1927, to foster cooperative development in the Philippines.
Key Figures
- Dr. José P. Rizal and Teodoro Sandiko are significant figures in the Philippine cooperative movement.
- In 1892, Rizal proposed establishing a colony based on cooperative principles after visiting Sandakan, Borneo, but was arrested and banished to Dapitan.
- Rizal initiated La Sociedad de los Abacaleros, a short-lived group for abaca producers, returning members' shares without loss.
Legislative Developments
- Sandiko prepared a bill resembling the Raiffeisen credit union model, which Rep. Albert Barreto sponsored. Although initially turned down by the Philippine Commission, it was passed as Act 2508 by the Second Philippine Legislature on February 11, 1914.
- The first rural credit association, Cooperative Association of Cabanatuan, was formed on October 18, 1916.

Economic Insights
- Republic Act 821, enacted in 1952, established the ACCFA to provide liberal credit to small farmers and strengthen cooperative organizations.
- The four goals of Republic Act 821 included securing credit for small farmers, promoting cooperative associations, creating an effective marketing system, and achieving economic parity with other industries.
