Which of the following is not a qualification for organizers of a primary cooperative?

• A. Must be 15 or more natural persons
• B. Must be residents of the Philippines
• C. Must be of legal age
• D. None of the above

Answer: (B)

The key idea is who can actually form a primary cooperative. The law requires a group of natural persons who will become the members to organize it, with two clear requirements: there must be at least fifteen organizers and each must be of legal age. These criteria ensure that the cooperative has enough genuine participants and responsible individuals to manage its affairs. The statement about residents of the Philippines isn’t a formal prerequisite for organizers in the code, so it isn’t a qualification. In other words, you do need a minimum number of natural persons who are of legal age, but being a resident of the Philippines is not a stated qualification for the organizers.
