The Asiapro Multipurpose Cooperative partners with DSWD for the implementation of the Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP) in the National Capital Region.

On March 26, 2026, a MOA signing was held at the Tipon Building  to formalize the partnership.  DSWD Regional Director Michael Lorico  was represented by  Ms  Jessa Christie Cadiang, SLP Regional Partnership Officer,  and by other DSWD officers.

AMPC Chairman Ian Peñalosa and President Michael V. Gonzalez expressed their strong support to the partnership  during the signing ceremony. 

Chairman Ian pointed out that  AMPC shares with DSWD  the same passion  and mission to  improve the socio-economic conditions of poor and marginalized communities. President MVG mentioned that the  cooperative network spans multiple locations across the country  and could also be additional areas of cooperation and convergence for SLP beyond the NCR.

The lead units in the project implementation are the HROD and the Asiapro Foundation, facilitating the Cooperative’s participation in job fairs, caravans and employment assessment activities for SLP areas. The  hiring of eligible applicants will be subject to the set requirements of the partner cooperatives.
