Our milestones

Pre-Registration Seminar

August 12, 2025 · Bacolod City

Future members gathered to build a shared understanding of cooperative principles, responsibilities, and the foundation that would become BECC.

Milestone 01

Learning together before registration—an early step toward a member-centered, accountable, and sustainable cooperative.

Milestone 02 · Dedication and Assembly

Three celebrations. One shared future.

January 17, 2026 · Bacolod City

The launch of BECC joined two deeply personal celebrations: Founder Marcelo Ochia's birthday and another anniversary of BreadBite Bakeshop—the enterprise from which this cooperative vision grew.

A birthday honors a life. An anniversary honors a journey. The launch of BECC transformed both into a promise: that years of work, faith, and shared experience would open new opportunities for employees, members, families, and the generations still to come.

Legacy carried forward

Surrounded by the people who helped build BreadBite, Founder Marcelo Ochia marked the beginning of BECC with his children—the next generation entrusted to carry forward the family's entrepreneurial values and vision. BECC itself moves ahead as a member-centered cooperative, strengthened by shared purpose, responsible leadership, and continuity across generations.

Milestone 03 · Civic Leadership

An oath beyond words.

February 13, 2026 · Bacolod City Government Center

BECC joined the Bacolod City Cooperative Development Council Executive and Committees' Meeting and Oath Taking for Calendar Years 2026–2028 at the SP Session Hall in Barangay Villamonte.

An oath is spoken in a moment, but honored through every decision that follows. Here, cooperative leaders did not simply accept positions—they accepted the responsibility to serve with integrity, listen with humility, and carry the trust of their communities.

Leadership in service

With the oath administered by Bacolod City Mayor Hon. Greg G. Gasataya, this gathering affirmed the city's support for cooperative leadership and community-centered development. For BECC, it marked a meaningful step beyond registration: joining a wider family of cooperatives, learning from fellow leaders, and embracing a shared duty to help build a more inclusive, resilient, and hopeful Bacolod.

Milestone 04 · Sharing Dreams With Them

From employees to business partners.

Bacolod City · BECC Member Orientation and Vision Sharing

Founder Marcelo Ochia shared the cooperative vision directly with BreadBite employees—inviting them to see themselves not only as workers, but as future member-owners and business partners.

The dream is not for the owner alone to succeed. It is for the people whose hard work, sincerity, service, and commitment sustain BreadBite every day to march forward together and share in the success they help create.

Unifying employees as business partners

Once employees freely commit themselves and become full-fledged members of BECC, they are no longer viewed merely as ordinary workers. They become cooperative members, future business partners, and participants in a shared journey toward lasting success. This is the Founder’s dream: that the hardworking, sincere, and service-oriented people who preserve BreadBite Bakeshop’s quality, delicious products, and customer satisfaction will also share in the fruits of that labor. Through BECC, success is not reserved for the business owner alone—it is pursued and enjoyed together by employer and employees, united by responsibility, dignity, and common purpose.
