The cooperative’s vibrant contingent brought energy and color to this year’s UPLB Loyalty Day Parade, embodying our decades-long partnership with the university through spirited participation. Our float, adorned with harvest motifs and cooperative symbols, visually narrated the story of our symbiotic relationship—from supporting student livelihoods to collaborating on agricultural research projects. Dozens of cooperative members marched alongside alumni and faculty, their unified steps reflecting our institutional bond and shared commitment to Laguna’s development.

This annual tradition transcends ceremonial participation; it’s a living showcase of our cooperative’s deep roots in the UPLB community. “We don’t just observe Loyalty Day—we live this connection year-round,” shared our education committee chair, referencing our ongoing scholarship programs and campus-based financial literacy initiatives. As candy rained down on cheering spectators, our delegation particularly delighted in engaging with student organizations, planting seeds for future collaborations that will continue blending UPLB’s academic excellence with our cooperative’s community-based solutions. The parade’s jubilant conclusion at the Freedom Park only marked the beginning of another year of meaningful town-gown partnership.
