“In a world where the rich continually get richer, we hear millions of people suffering from malnutrition, oppression and massive exploitation. We have our own share of the powerless, the unemployed, the hungry and the disadvantaged. It is within such a world that Simbayanan called to serve.”

In 1992, SMMPC was transformed into a community based cooperative, with barely 33-founding members – Sixteen thousand pesos starting capital, with its goal to develop and undertake socio-economic programs and activities for the improvement of the quality of life of the people of Barangay Lower Bicutan in Taguig City.  Its mission is to practice good governance, efficient and effective management and fully empowered membership with the culture of cooperativism.

Simbayanan ni Maria Multi-Purpose Cooperative delivers sustainable economic support to the people of Taguig, making the vision of people empowerment more attainable.

Fr. Anton believes in the saying “help him to manage his fish pen you feed his whole community.” He then launched Simbayanan Ni Maria Enterprise Center (SMEC) he envisioned to provide integrated social and business entrepreneurship services for the total human development of all cooperators. SMEC aims to serve as an education hub for the members of the cooperative that will focus on developing micro entrepreneurs among cooperators of Simbayanan Ni Maria Multi-Purpose Cooperative in making their business sustainable and progressive and to value the principles of self-reliance.
