The Dacongcogon Sugar Producers Cooperative Marketing Association board has called for a general assembly at the mill site in Kabankalan City of its members today, its director Rolando Parpa said yesterday.

Parpa said he fears that the general assembly will be for the ratification of a memorandum of agreement that would transfer ownership of the mill from the coop members to one person.

That will end 38 years of control by the cooperative of the mill envisioned by the late Bishop Emeritus Antonio Fortich to be ran by the small farmers, he said. Parpa said ratifying the MOA would mean ownership of the mill by financier Celso delos Angeles.*
