The government’s Pag-Ibig Fund has conferred a plaque of recognition to Tadeco Agricultural Development Company for topping the list of corporations in the Visayas/Mindanao with approved multi-purpose and housing loans for their workers.
Pag-Ibig chair Eduardo del Rosario handed the plaque over to Alex Valoria, president of Tadeco at the awarding rites held in February in Pasay City.
Valoria said the award was a “manifestation of the government’s solid vote of confidence” to Tadeco’s continuing program to lift its worker’s quality of life.
“This recognition inspires us to pursue with even more vigor our initiatives at people empowerment under the state’s overarching objectives to attain sustainable social and economic development in the country, notably in the agriculture sector where we belong,” Valoria said.
Tadeco is one of the top producers and exporters of fresh Cavendish bananas to Japan, Hong Kong, China, Korea, Middle East, Russia, Malaysia and Singapore.
Pag-Ibig or the Home Development Mutual Fund is a government-owned and controlled corporation under the Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council that manages the national savings program and affordable shelter financing for Filipinos employed by local and foreign-based employers as well as voluntary and self-employed members.
