Who We Are

Organized on September 4, 1994 and registered on November 14, 1994 with the Cooperative Development Authority (CDA), Almeria Seafarers Multipurpose Cooperative (ASEMCO) is an institution initially founded to support the seafarers circle and their families. It later on evolved as the organization recognized the community’s need for financial and sociocultural assistance,

ASEMCO mainly offers Savings and Credit services. As the years progressed, the cooperative introduced allied services such as general merchandise, agribusiness, hostel and function rooms and learning center to further support the community’s growing needs.

Over the years, ASEMCO has received several recognitions from prominent award-giving bodies. Some of which are the 2012 BEST OFW FAMILY CIRCLE AWARD by OWWA and GAWAD PARANGAL Nomination by the CDA, a testament to the cooperative’s sustainable growth and significant contributions to people empowerment, social development, and nation-building.

The cooperative operates in 2 offices in Biliran, one in Del Baño Street, Poblacion, Almeria and one in 1F Vicentillo St. P.I. Garcia, Naval, Biliran.
