THE Provincial Government and cooperatives in Cebu inaugurated the Coop Business Center (CBC) on Thursday afternoon, August 3.

The CBC was established by the Provincial Government and the Cebu Provincial Association of Accredited Cooperative (CPAAC).

The CBC's office is located at the Cebu South Bus Terminal.

Lawyer Bernardo Desabel of CPAAC said the CBC was established to help provide fresh direction to Cebu's 38 registered cooperatives and to serve as a body in discussing concerns of the cooperative sector.

The CBC will also help speed participation and linkages among Cebu's cooperatives.

Lawyer Herculeano Rizon, Capitol consultant for cooperatives, said that the CBC will serve as an avenue for Cebu's cooperatives to showcase their products and services.

Present during the CBC's inauguration is Cebu Vice Governor Agnes Magpale. (SunStar Cebu)
