Protests

sector went viral on social media sites.

Partylist Congressman Cresen te Paez of Coop-NATCCO stressed that the cooperative sector and Cooperative Bloc Legislators must sustain vigilance as there is a constant threat to undermine the cooperative’s current tax exemptions.

The show of force was to solidarily oppose the government’s plan to remove tax concession to the cooperatives.

With one voice, the co-operators lobbied that tax exemptions enjoyed by cooperatives should be retained.

The Cooperatives’s current tax exemption under Articles 60 and 61 of the 2008 Cooperative Code is being proposed to be repealed by Senator Loren Legarda and Cebu Representative Gabriel Luis Quisumbing under Senate Bill No. 2048 and House Bill No. 2765, respectively.

Maria Lourdes S. Tabuzo Training System Services & Learning Inf TrainServ One day I decided to bring some flowers sa office dahil mahilig talaga ako sa flowers. My officemates told me why not make it as a career. When I decided to start the business in 2004, starting with P500 capital then year after year lumalaki na so eventually I TABUZO needed a capital to support the business. So naisip ko na mag borrow sa TELESCOOP and make it as a seed money. For the past twelve years eto na po we were able to build our home at nakapagpa-renovate at I have my own name now in the flower business which is Sprinkle. I also borrowed money from TELESCOOP for the Starex I bought three years ago to be used as school service. I am really very thankful for I feel blessed having TELESCOOP as partner in my business. Nagkaroon kami ng mga investments, and also our home and some vehicles na na-invest namin through the help of TELESCOOP. Kaya maraming, maraming salamat po sa inyo!

Joventino F. Zapa Enterprise Service Assurance Mgmt Dahil po sa TELESCOOP Gas Card nakakapagpakarga ako ng gas sa lahat ng Shell station. Kaya salamat po sa TELESCOOP at nabigyan kami ng Card na ito at ito ay nagagamit namin sa pang araw-araw na buhay.

Romeo B. Ching Enterprise Service Assurance Mgmt-B Nagpapasalamat ako sa TELESCOOP at naka-isip sila ng bagong service na Shell Gas Card. Nakakapagkarga tayo ng gas ng mas mababang presyo.

Hindi po kagaya sa ibang gasolinahan kapag nagpakarga tayo ay buo ang binabayaran natin at walang discount. Muli maraming salamat sa TELESCOOP at binigyan ninyo kami ng ganitong bagong serbisyo.

Dumating ang panahon na nag loan ako sa TELESCOOP at ginawa ako ng Coke na Marketing Partner hanggang lumago ng lumago ang negosyo at naka pagpatayo ako ng warehouse, bahay, opisina. Ito ay dahil sa tulong ng TELESCOOP. Napakalaking tulong ang binigay ng TELESCOOP sa aking pamilya at negosyo. Kaya maraming salamat sa TELESCOOP at dahil sa inyo umunlad ang aming kabuhayan.

6 What do you think of our 2016 Assembly?

TELESCOOP has really levelled up and become very professional. It goes to show that the TELESCOOP officers are so concerned about the welfare of its members. To that I take a hat off that we have a Cooperative that puts first the well-being and comfort of its members. ELMA: Very impressive and cool venue.

Renier N. Leonardo TSSLIM/TrainServ and Ma. Elma T. Leonardo, HRMD

Ang masasabi ko sa venue ay maayos ngayon at makikita mo na umuunlad ang TELESCOOP. Ito ay isang patunay na maganda talaga ang ating mga programa at ang mga miyembro ay higit na napapasaya. Yun lamang po, salamat!

The venue is very nice and it is the first time we have this kind of venue. I have been attending for several years already and I really appreciate the venue now and I hope this will continue to be such.

Loida V. Nardo Fixed Service Network Quality Assurance

Ang ganda ng venue, very good and congratulations TELESCOOP!

Arnaldo A. Santos Bulacan Customer Service Operations Zone

I was surprised with the venue because it’s so big but I heard some people saying we wanted it held in TelTech because they feel much closer there. In essence to have sort of togetherness. It’s better that we get to know each other or to have a theme of getting together since it is very rare that we PLDT employees had a chance to be together in one place.

Ma. Irmina B. Lopez Customer Experience Solutions Mgmt

The venue is remarkably cool and convenient making it very conducive to a relaxed atmosphere for holding our Representative Assembly. Whenever members are happy and satisfied, everything else falls into the right places. Kudos to the TELESCOOP Board!

Elmer C. Lintag Cebu Customer Service Operations Zone

Actually the new venue is better than where we used to hold the Assembly and we are more comfortable here. I think TELESCOOP should continue to provide such venue so that everybody will be comfortable at alltimes.ThankyouTELESCOOP!
