The Laboratory Cooperative of SAMULCO held its Second Annual General Assembly last June 10, 2017 at the 4th floor, Social Hall of the Philippine National Red Cross Building, Roxas Avenue. Among the thousand kids and youth members of the cooperative, there were 155 who participated in the event. Our partner schools who are active in the aflatoun program were present and were given awards of recognition for their continuous support. The students and kids who have the highest amount in their savings were also given recognition for being the top savers of the year. Our youth members were also given words of encouragement by Dr. Elma Oguis, CDA Regional Director, emphasizing this years theme, "Empowered Youth: the key to a sustainable development."

Aside from the program, there were also list of activities that happened during the event where kids and teens really enjoyed. Members of the Lab Coop were given free shirts and free snacks after they registered. They also have fun with the Face Painting, Photobooth and Carnival Game Booths. Raffle prizes were also given to the 50 fortunate kids. And together with their parents, guardians and teachers, they did their best to win prizes during the parlor games.

The entire event was successful for all who attended, cooperated and organized this once a year activity. We congratulate all the people who planned and initiated the program, and for all who helped in the preparation. We recognized the effort of the Lab Coop Board of Directors headed by their Chairperson Ms. Caryn Carumba and their coordinators Dir. Gloria Dagatan, Dir. Ricardo Pastera, Dir. Felecitas Gil and Dir. Carolina Carumba. We give gratitude to the Members of Board of Directors of the guardian cooperative (SAMULCO) headed by our chairperson Dr. Vic Hofilena for their unceasing support. And we thank all of the staffs and employees of SAMULCO headed by their General Manager Engr. Roel Ricabo for working cooperatively during and in the preparation of this momentous event. Lastly, we give honor to our Almighty God for making all things possible.
