Cabadbaran City, Agusan del Norte – DigiCOOP and Candelaria Multipurpose Cooperative (MPC) proudly launched the first ever Cash Teller Machine (CTM) in CARAGA region, located in L. Corvera Ave., Brgy. Tolosa, Cabadbaran City, Agusan del Norte last April 28, 2025.
CTM launching was highly anticipated as using the CTM aims to significantly benefit Candelaria MPC members and the wider rural community by providing accessible financial services.

This event was graced by important figures in the region including the Cabadbaran City Cooperative Development which are Engr. Louiel Bulang, Ms. Mila Colegado, and Mr. Armel Lozada, as well as BAUG CARP Beneficiaries Multipurpose Cooperative General Manager Luxmi Auxillo and Operations Manager Arnold Suaybaguio.

Welcoming the attendees, Engr. Louiel Bulang, one of the officers of Cabadbaran City Cooperative Development, expressed his excitement for the CTM’s presence in the area. He highlighted the CTM’s role in better serving and helping the rural community through digital solutions and financial inclusion.
In his address, Engr. Bulang acknowledged the collaborative effort of digiCOOP and Candelaria MPC, stating, “We commend Traxion (DigiCOOP) for partnering with Candelaria MPC to encourage the use of the CTM and promote its benefits for cooperatives, their members, and the rural community, not just in Cabadbaran City, but even in the entire CARAGA region.”

Rev. Msgr. Porfirio Colon, Jr., Chairman of Candelaria MPC, blessed the new CTM and extended his well wishes to the cooperative’s leadership and members. He emphasized the potential of this technological advancement to uplift the financial lives of the community, saying, “Since we [Candelaria] are engaged in this hi-tech way of business transaction [with digiCOOP], we are looking forward that we also grow as a community cooperative, as MPC. Especially at the time, to change their attitude towards technologies. Because technology would make their lives (our lives), easier and faster. And I believe it would be efficient if we would transact their business with CTM,”

Now operational, the CTM enables Candelaria MPC members and even the local residents to easily and conveniently cash in and cash out/withdraw funds from their digiCOOP mobile app, other ewallets, and banks. Additionally, through the CTM, the users can also pay bills, buy eload, and do other financial services.
