About BUPCC
Who we are, what we believe, and how we're organized — in plain terms, at your own pace.
Before we tell you about BUPCC specifically, here's some context on the cooperative movement in the Philippines.
CDA-registered cooperatives across the Philippines
Filipino cooperative members nationwide — roughly 15% of the population
Registered cooperatives in Batangas Province, as of August 2026
Cooperatives registered under Republic Act No. 9520 enjoy tax, VAT, and import-duty privileges in recognition of their community role.
Batangas United and Progressive Credit Cooperative (BUPCC) is a credit cooperative established in 2025 in Batangas City by 15 Founding Members. BUPCC is a duly registered credit cooperative — CDA Certificate of Registration No. 9520-100400039517.
BUPCC is organized to serve individual residents of Batangas Province, and is committed to developing its members into capable entrepreneurs and community leaders — not simply extending credit, but building people.
Batangas City, Philippines — 15 Founding Members, one shared purpose.

BUPCC believes financial growth and character formation drive each other. A loan can start a business; it takes character to sustain one. This is a principle we hold ourselves to, not a program we're claiming has already produced results — we're a young cooperative, and we intend to earn this reputation, one member at a time.
"Character grows through financial growth. Financial growth grows through character. Neither leads — they drive each other."
"This Code is not a document of suspicion — it is a document of trust... We will not mislead you. We will not overpromise. We will not treat you differently before you join than after you join."
— Ramil Cueto, Chairperson
