The Journey Is Yours. BUPCC Walks It With You.

No pressure, no obligation — just an honest conversation about what BUPCC can do for you and your community.

What Is PMES?

What is PMES?

The Pre-Membership Education Seminar is your first real step toward BUPCC — and it's required by law (RA 9520, Article 10) before anyone can become a member. But it's not a formality, and it's not a sales pitch. It's simply this: everything we'd tell you about BUPCC, told to you honestly, before you decide anything.

What you'll walk away knowing:

  • What a cooperative actually is, and the seven principles that govern every one in the Philippines
  • Who BUPCC is — our story, our values, and how we're structured
  • What we offer, and what it would ask of you
  • Your rights as a member — and what BUPCC owes you, by law
  • Exactly how membership works, step by step

About 90–120 minutes. No pressure to decide that day — the seminar's purpose is to inform you, not to recruit you. If you're not ready to join after attending, that's completely fine. You're welcome to come back anytime.
