HISTORY OF SAN DIONISIO

CREDIT COOPERATIVE

During the scouting activity of Rover Scouts in

Corregidor, Bataan, Fr. Walter Hogan asked the Rover

Scouts of San Dionisio as to the kind of activity being

undertaken by the group in the community. Based on the

doctrine of Rover Scouts the basis of their activities were

service, love of God & Country.

Thus such community projects as artesian well, playground, basketball court & cleanliness of

little lasting value were realized.

Fr. Hogan introduced the concept of Cooperative

which the body agreed. One of the Rover Scouts who

was also a member of an Institutional Cooperative,

introduced the group to Fr. Gaston Duchesneau, a Jesuit

priest who was then the director of Institute of the Social

Order (ISO).

Dr. Angel Mendoza who was then a barrio lieutenant

made a community assembly to address the needs of the

community and the need for organizing a cooperative.

Although many of those present agreed, there were

those who were against the concept because most of

them were old enough and will not be able to do the

work anymore. Mr. Jaime Ferrer boosted the morale of

those who were interested.

There were forty five (45) participants who attended the

seminar for nine (9) consecutive Fridays, only twenty eight

(28) finished it. The speakers of the said seminar were Fr.

Gaston Duchesneau with the help of St. Andrew Asst. Parish

Priest, Fr. Francis Wittizelae.

At last The San Dionisio Cooperative Credit Union,

Inc. was organized in July 28, 1961 by twenty eight

(28) founding members with three hundred eighty (P

380.00) pesos as starting capital. This was registered at

Cooperative Administration Office (CAO) on

September 8, 1961.

At first the bureau was

reluctant for the registration

because of the provision in

the by-laws about the minor

depositor and this was the 1st

time that the community

cooperative was organized

but also agreed later.

On October 4, 1973 the San Dionisio Cooperative CreditUnion Inc. was re-registered at Bureau of CooperativesDevelopment (BACOD).

With the help of the varsitarians, a Parañaque Civic Club,the neighboring barangays of San Dionisio such as Tambo,Don Galo, Sto.Niño, La Huerta and Las Piñas weremotivated to organize their own cooperatives.

The Growing Process

When San Dionisio Credit Cooperative was formed,

there were negative attitudes like:

• “Walang humawak ng palayok na hindi naulingan ang

kamay”

• Nobody lends in the cooperative; and a question on

Credibility.

But then the cooperative was able to overcome these

problems and challenges with Mr. Herminio C.

Hernandez being its General Manager in 1961 as

requested by the Board of Directors. He started with

his voluntary service for 11 years and in 1972, he gave

up a well-paying job as an accountant in a shipping

firm to work in the cooperative as its full-time General

Manager for a lower compensation.

Marami sa atin ang tingin

sa kooperatiba at nakikita

lang ay yung panlabas na

kaanyuan. Katulad ng

isang cake, kapag

maganda ang icing,

masasabi nating ito ay

masarap. Katulad din ng

kooperatiba, kapag

nakikita nating maganda

ang gusali maraming

physical infrastructure,

ang masasabi natin ay:… ito ay mayaman.

… ito ay mapera.

… ito ay matagumpay.

Ngunit ito ba ay “Conclusive

Evidences” para malaman

natin kung masarap ba ang

cake? Gayundin sa

kooperatiba, upang malaman

nating ito ay maganda, tayo ay

magpapamiyembro dito.

Karaniwang nagiging palamuti

ang sumusunod:

1. Peso

2. Dollar3. Lira (Italy) o Pound

4. Deutschmark (Germany)

Bagama’t ito ay
