Community One Resources Development - CORD Inc.

𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐃: The Turn-Over Ceremony in Upper Laclac, Barangay San Roque, San Manuel, Pangasinan, marks the formal transition of responsibilities from CORD to the San Roque Upland Organization for Sustainable Development (SRUOSD) after nine years of partnership and community development work.

Through the hard work and unity of the community, many issues were addressed, and community-managed projects were established, including the Agri-Vet and General Merchandise Store, Savings and Loan, Damayan Project, and other local initiatives. The organization also developed its 3-year strategic goals and 1-year operational plan to provide a clearer direction for its future initiatives and activities.

SRUOSD graduates with 52 active members and leaders who are now ready to continue leading and serving their community.

Congratulations to SRUOSD for this important milestone!

Happy Mother’s Day to the women who serve not only their families but also their communities with courage and passion. ✨ 💙💚

Proud to begin our Community-led Development work in Villaflor, San Isidro and Core Shelter, Marcos, Roxas, Isabela.

Working alongside local residents, we listen first, build together, and support community-driven priorities as they shape their own path toward resilience and development.

In Mangandingay, Science City of Muñoz, Nueva Ecija, the Pamana Mangandingay Organization’s Variety Store Project now supports better access to basic goods for 60 families in the community.

With a capital support of ₱225,000.00 from the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP), the store is managed by 15 PAMANA members, who also benefit from the income it generates.

A simple project making a real difference—supporting daily needs and building more stable livelihoods!

Her leadership started early in school, in church, and in her own community. People trusted her, and she learned how to lead with honesty, clarity, and care. That same approach continues today in how she works with teams and communities. She shares stories, lessons, and practical guidance that come from lived experience.

She continues to dedicate her life to strengthening communities, guided by feminist leadership that centers on dignity, inclusion, and shared power, and by a commitment to help people thrive with hope and justice.
