Teachers Savings and Loan Society (TISA) has come on board to support this year’s PNG Defence Force Commander’s Cup with a K25,000 sponsorship.

In announcing this sponsorship, Group CEO for TISA, Michael Koisen said “TISA is delighted to support this event because a lot of our service men and women are members of Tisa and its one way of giving back to our members.”

“This event is also special because for the first time since the competition started in 2002, there will be women’s matches played and our support will assist the organizing committee to stage these games in Lae this July,” Mr Koisen said.

“The competition, while it focuses on physical fitness and wellbeing, it also encourages and promotes camaraderie, teamwork, collaboration, gender equality and friendship – values that TISA supports.”

On hand to receive the sponsorship at Murray Barrack, Port Moresby was Chief of Defence Force, Major General Mark Goina, Paul Siwi, President of the PNG Rugby Union, and members of the PNGDF.

Chief of Defence Force, Major General Goina thanked TISA for its support and said PNGDF is not a commercial state entity and does not generate money and so such support is valued.

As a member of TISA including many of the service men and women, Chief Commander Goina thanked TISA for its generous support to the tournament and PNGDF.

He said a key focus for PNGDF is on its people – their physical fitness, health, and wellbeing so that they are able to go out and discharge their duties and responsibilities.

As such PNGDF has announced the return of the tournament after three-year recess due to COVID-19. This year’s Commander’s Cup will be played at the Igam Barracks in Lae from 12-20 July.

10 teams from all PNGDF barracks will compete including debutants PNGDF Rugby Union Women’s team who will take on the Morobe Women’s Rugby Union team.

TISA staff will also set up a booth at Igam Barracks during the duration of the event to assist and attend to member queries.

A signed Salary Deduction Agreement(SDA) with PNG Power saw staff from TISA Buka doing a presentation to PPL Staff.

TISA Buka Branch Officers were invited by PPL Branch Manager Cornelius Omi to conduct TISA Product and Service Awareness to its staff and this awareness session occurred on the 13^th of August, 2019.

TISA Officers namely Rachael Popi, Gladys Tiolonie and Agrena Iyape provided a brief overview of TISA and the current membership base before switching on to the main focus of the session on TISA’s Savings and Loan Products. Being new members, the Kwik Cash L3 Loan Product drew keen interest from most of the PPL Officers who attended the session.

The TISA trio also introduced to PPL Buka Officers, the Yumi Account for their daily transactions. But out of the product presentations, came an encouraging TISA supporter named Henry Pukuan who had learnt and experienced TISA products through his wife who is TISA Member. Mr Pukuan wasted no time to have his membership forms completed to be a TISA members now that PPL is on board to have its employees contribute to Teachers Savings and Loan Society.

PNG Power in July 2019 approved the Salary Deduction Agreement with TISA to have its employees nationwide join TISA Members to have access to affordable loan products and purposeful savings products.
