For about 7 years the GDMPC carried out its operation in the barangay where its sari-sari store was located. In its early stage, the cooperative was under pressure in dealing with arrear accounts due to calamity and vulnerabilities of the organization and in the lives of the members. But owing to a strong social  capital, the kinship and  faith-based relationships, and the infusion of  younger and more educated members, the GDMPC was able to institute changes in its operations.

In 1999,its office was moved to the town proper where the cooperative started facing the challenges in developing strategies of becoming a financially viable and stable organization. The management staff had experience hardship, tension and sacrifices in recovering losses, coping  professionalism and standards,  establishing relationship with new members and building partnership with other institutions and coop networks. But all these struggles and tests, led the  cooperative to it’s new paradigm and thrust to soar on high for a cause of making the changes in the lives of the people.

For the past years, the existence of the cooperative has exhibited goood governance and management with commitment and determination to endure hardships and great efforts to achieve the organizational sustainability.
