Our Story
A journey of growth, resilience, and community service spanning over six decades
The Beginning
Father Antony Oomen gathered twenty-eight people to form a Cooperative on 23 February 1964. On 22 September 1964, San Jose Credit Union was born and formally registered with 151 members, total assets of ₱4,392.47, and share capital of ₱4,288.00.
The Roman Catholic Diocese of San Jose de Antique, under Bishop Cornelio De Wit, conducted a province-wide campaign, establishing cooperatives in every parish.
Re-registration & Growth
On 5 May 1975, the San Jose Credit Union was re-registered as San Jose Credit Cooperative, Inc. (SJCCI). The old bowling alley near the San Jose Parish Convento was converted into an office building, which the Cooperative occupied for 19 years.
Multi-Purpose Era
SJCCI was renamed and registered with the Cooperative Development Authority (CDA) as San Jose Multi-Purpose Cooperative (SJMPC), opening its multi-purpose program for growing members and relocating to the Municipal Building.
Community Programs & Housing
SJMPC initiated the Coop Bulig Eskwela Scholars program, starting with 7 beneficiaries to provide financial assistance for education.
In its Ruby Jubilee Year, the Cooperative acquired 9,368 sq.m in Barangay San Fernando for the Coop Ruby Jubilee Village, providing housing to 62 members.
Permanent Home & Expansion
In September 2007, the Cooperative established its permanent home at Trade Town, Dalipe, San Jose de Buenavista through a Usufruct Agreement.
From 151 members in 1964, SJMPC's membership reached over 15,000 members with satellite offices in Miag-ao, Oton, and Guimaras.
