THE management of the newly-formed Mambulao Multi-Purpose Cooperative
(MMPC) in Mambulao, CamNorte, has appealed to Mambulaoans based in town and
those overseas to help the co-op raise funds needed to register it with the
Bureau of Cooperative Development.

So far, MMPC has a bank balance of P65,639.37 representing
incorporators’ shares (as of Tuesday, August 27) -- still short of P34,361 to
meet the minimum registration capitalization of P100,000.
Cash on hand was P1,911.00.
Elsie Dimaunahan, MMPC coordinator, told MWBuzz that of the 45
registered members (as of the other week), seven are foreign-based, who subscribed
to about P35,738 worth of shares.
Registered local members numbering 38 have so far chipped in a total of
P17,400, contributing P500 or more each.

Spearheaded by Middle East-based Jessie Obrero Lumapag, MMPC was formed
recently to help overseas contract working Mambulaons to save for the future by
investing with the co-op.
Lumapag said the business that MMPC would generate in the future are
hoped to create jobs for the less-privileged members of the community.
Once registered, the co-op would decide on the line of business it
could venture into, including dry goods trading and tourism-related projects.
The proponents of MMPC are members of a Facebook group called “Mambulao’s
On A Roll”.
