 Synthesis and Integration
∙ Do not amend or change existing
structure unless necessary (e.g. not
in conformity to CBL, if association, or the Articles of
Corporation, if coop)

∙ Do not amend or change existing

policy unless necessary (e.g. not in
conformity to CBL, if association, or the Articles of
Corporation, if coop and other basis )
 Synthesis and Integration
∙ In all instances, policies of any
organization, whether association or
coop, must not be contrary to law,
morals or public policy.

∙ Specifically, all coops must be

governed by RA 9520 or the
Corporation Code of the Philippines
of 2008. Therefore, study RA 9520!
 Synthesis and Integration
∙ As a rural development facilitator,
we cannot discuss PSPs
installation with farmer-
organizations without background
on organizational principles and
management.
 Synthesis and Integration
∙ As much as possible, the general rule
that “for every rule, there is an
exception” must not be applied in
organizations. On the other hand,
every rule must be strictly enforced.

“Hatagan nato ug ngipon ang balaud nga

kita mismo nagpanday” is an all time
principle in organizational mgt. that
must be uphold.

(Not other way around!)

 Synthesis and Integration
∙ However, a study say that 80% of
the organization’s problems could
have been avoided with
installation of good, sound and
applicable policies.

(“There is no correct answer to a wrong

question”)
 Synthesis and Integration
∙ Do not forget that we are in DAR,
hence, as TOT, situate modules
from the DAR’s perspective.

How? By adhering to the vision,

mission, goals and objectives of
DAR and CARP/er.
 Synthesis and Integration
∙ How to situate?

∙ Cite examples which are relevant

and as much as possible actual
cases, but not necessary that of
the organization being trained.
 Synthesis and Integration
∙ How to situate?
- Be updated with present programs,
strategies & priorities of DAR

- Study the history and existing

circumstances of ARBOs involved.

- Impart relevant discussions on

present thrust of the department, like
ARBOs covered by ARCCESS, DAR- CDA,
AIP, APCP, etc., and hand in hand with
BDCD staff in implementing program.
 Synthesis and Integration
∙ How to situate?

- From the macro perspective, be

knowledgeable on present issues that
affect the lives of farmers like climate
change/ global warming, appropriate
technology that affects man’s physical
well- being and damage environment,
etc.

- How??
 Synthesis and Integration
∙ How to situate?
- To address problems, do not be
too regulatory, but dig deeper the
cause of the problem.

(e.g. low repayment rate by members,

how to address?)
 Synthesis and Integration
∙ Finally,

TIME MANAGEMENT,
sensitive to the situation of
the farmers!
