We are pleased to announce that the ICCB, in coordination with the National Consolidated Cooperative Bank (NCCB), is organising a Learning Visit to Manila, Philippines, scheduled from 3 to 6 November 2026 at Sotogrande Hotel Katipunan, Manila.

About the Programme

The four-day programme combines learning sessions with field visits, offering participants direct exposure to cooperative credit and banking practices in the Philippines. The programme includes opening ceremonies, presentations on the Philippine cooperative sector, a seminar on ESG, and sessions on good governance best practices. Field visits will include visits to the NCCB Office, NATCCO Office, a primary cooperative, and historic Old Manila.

This programme is self-sponsored. Participants will need to arrange and cover the costs of their own visa, international travel, accommodation, travel expense, hotel stay, and related expenses. Accommodation at the venue is estimated at USD 165 for three nights (breakfast included). All meals during the programme and transportation for field visits will be provided by NCCB.
