City of San Fernando, Pampanga, Philippines— October 20, 2025. A renewed spirit of cooperation and innovation fills the air as Marieta “Mayet” Panaglima Hwang, Director of the Cooperative Development Authority (CDA) Region III Extension Office, pledged her full support to the upcoming Philippine Agri-Tech Ecosystem Expo (PATEEX) 2025, happening on November 21 – 23, 2025 at the Pampanga State Agricultural University (PSAU), Magalang, Pampanga.

Director Hwang emphasized that “PATEEX 2025 is more than just an exhibition—it is a movement that unites farmers, cooperatives, innovators, and policymakers under one ecosystem of shared growth and sustainable development.”
Her endorsement underscores CDA Region III’s commitment to empowering cooperatives through digital transformation, modern agritech practices, and inclusive value-chain participation.

Empowering Cooperatives through the CCNPH Ecosystem

This year’s expo also highlights opportunities for cooperatives to strengthen their operations through the Cooperative Cooperation Network Philippines (CCNPH) Ecosystem—a comprehensive digital and agricultural network now readily available for cooperative use.
Key integrated platforms include:

• Bagsakan System – a digital and physical supply-chain hub linking producers directly to markets.
• PabilionlineStore System – an e-commerce platform promoting cooperative and farmer products nationwide.
• Delivery and Logistics System – streamlining product movement from farms to consumers.
• BC AgriSystems – smart greenhouse and precision-agriculture technologies that increase productivity and sustainability.

Through these innovations, cooperatives can expand their reach, modernize operations, and raise member incomes—advancing national goals for inclusive agricultural growth and food security.
