A 2-day training on Conflict Management for Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries’ Organizations (ARBOs) was conducted recently by DAR Sorsogon headed by Leonito M. Gaveria, Provincial Agrarian Reform Program Officer II in partnership with South-Luzon Federation of Cooperatives (SIDECO).

Under this training they were taught by Jenell P. Paghubasan, Chairman of SIDECO who was the resource speaker, how to formulate or develop a mediation and conciliation program; and how to implement the approved program. He also presented the mediation and conciliation program management including roles and responsibilities, processes and tools; and the rules on disposition of mediation cases.

“I got three wealth from this training which I can bring home. These are the happiness in my heart for meeting other ARBOs, the knowledge which nobody can snatch from me but I can share to others, and the savings because of DAR’s assistance in the provision of this free training. This is already a big thing for our cooperative,” Floribe D. Macapagal, BOD of SAADECO said.

DAR was expecting thirty (30) participants but there were forty-four (44) ARBO Officers arrived who came from ABCC, ANNIC, BAMUCO, BHARBEDECO, BIGKIS Cooperative, CABAMUCO, CADECO, CARFADECO, GASANAMUDECO, JUMUCO, MADECO, SAADECO, SAFADECO, SCCPC, SCDECO, and SRBCC.
