Gata Daku Multi-Purpose Cooperative

The need for cheap and affordable consumer goods in the locality motivated the 32 pioneering co-operators to pool their resources and put up a consumer store in Barangay Gata Daku, Municipality of Clarin, Misamis Occidental. In March 1992, and with an initial capital of only PhP32,000, Gata Daku Multi-Purpose Cooperative (GDMPC) came to be.

Management and staff’s adherence to the organization’s mission “to provide excellent services to empower members and communities” is instrumental in the cooperative’s growth and expansion. GDMPC has made available products and services such as microfinance, agri, and all-purpose loans; and savings, ATM, and money transfer services to answer the needs of its members in Misamis Occidental, Zamboanga del Norte, and Zamboanga del Sur. Add to that are the number of non-financial services such as feeding; community clean-up and development, and housing programs to name a few.
