Mayor Nilo Sy; Armonio P. Paa, director of Cooperative Development Authority R-IX; and Engr. Dennis Santander, MASS-SPEC CEO, cut the ribbon during the inauguration of the new corn mill. Thus said Aurelia P. Villegas, general manager of the Sindangan Farmers Cooperative Marketing Association – Community Multi-Purpose Coop- erative (SFCMPC), during the 55th founding anniversary, Aug. 30. Earlier that day, SFCMPC inaugurated its new electric corn mill at its warehouse compound in Sitio Balik-balik. During the program, the board of directors presented a certificate of appreciation to Amor P. Espinas, the lone surviv- ing founding member. In his acceptance speech, Espinas recalled that 201 found- ing members invested P10 when they organized the Sindangan Facoma on June 10, 1956. Sindangan Facoma initially offered its loan services exclu- sively to farmers in the form of production and commodity loans. In 1991, Sindangan Facoma amended its name to Sin- dangan Farmers Multi-Purpose Cooperative, Inc. to comply with the law affecting cooperatives. Five years later, SFMPCI offered the rediscounting program that granted loans to teachers and salaried employees, and the sav- ings mobilization operations for time deposits. To complement these ser- vices, the cooperative amended its registered name to Sindangan Farmers and Teachers Multi- Purpose Cooperative, Inc. (SFTMPCI). It also opened its member- ship to teachers and salaried em- ployees. The amendments were approved on June 10, 1998. In May 2004, SFTMPCI offered to rescue the Sindangan Cooperative Credit Union, Inc. and the Sindangan Multi-Purpose Cooperative, which were on the verge of collapse and bankruptcy. The merger was approved on Sept. 28, 2006, with SFTMPCI as the surviving entity. The following year, SFTMPCI erected an P8-million two-story building for its retail business and social hall. The inauguration coincided with the cooperative’s 52nd anni- versary in 2008. To underscore its coopera- tive identity, SFTMPCI restored its original founding name. On May 17, 2011, the co- operative was then renamed to Sindangan Facoma–Community Multi-Purpose Cooperative; and its area of operation was expanded to include Zamboanga Peninsula. SF-CMPC has 4,202 active members, a total acquired asset of P113.1 million with a net income of P4.1 million, and a capital buildup of P18.8 million.(Gilbert B. Lamayo) 07/21/2011
