Composition and Jurisdiction

Cooperatives and unions must consist of residents from designated areas within cities, municipalities, and municipal districts.
The Rice and Corn Administration (RCA), with help from local officials including provincial governors and city/mayor-level officials, defines and fixes these specific areas.

Roles of Government Agencies

The Cooperatives Administration Office, alongside other government agencies, is tasked to assist in forming and operating the consumer cooperatives and unions.
The RCA holds the central coordinating role for this program.

Appointment and Implementation Responsibilities

The RCA is responsible for submitting a list of nominees to act as officials charged with implementing the cooperative and union policy.

Mandatory Support from Government Entities

All government offices, agencies, including government-owned and controlled corporations, are directed to provide necessary support and assistance for the implementation of this program.

Legal Effect and Formality

The order is formally issued by the President of the Philippines and took effect as of January 11, 1972, in Manila.
This ensures a top-down authoritative mandate with executive oversight through the Executive Secretary.
