Mother Rita Multi-Purpose Cooperative Company Profile. Its Mission, Vision, Shared Values, and Metaphor. A Foundation of Compassion and Service The Legacy of Mother Rita Barcelo y Pages Born in Spain, Mother Rita Barcelo y Pages was a devoted member of the Augustinian Recollect Sisters, whose mission of service brought her to the Philippines. In the midst of the cholera pandemic of 1882, she became a beacon of hope and compassion. During this devastating outbreak, Mother Rita led her Sisters in caring for the sick, providing food, medical assistance, and spiritual comfort to the afflicted. Her unwavering dedication in the face of such adversity cemented her reputation as a selfless leader committed to serving the most vulnerable. The Mother Rita Multipurpose Cooperative draws its inspiration from her mission during this pandemic. Founded on her values of compassion and service, the cooperative aims to support its members through financial aid, livelihood programs, and community services—continuing her legacy of empowering and uplifting communities in times of crisis. In 1991, the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo unleashed torrents of lahar, bringing hardship and uncertainty to the people of Zambales and nearby provinces. What once seemed like a destructive force eventually revealed its hidden value. Lahar became a vital resource for construction, agriculture, and craftsmanship, transforming the landscape into one of opportunity and growth. From Ashes to Abundance: A Cooperative's Journey Mother Rita Multi-Purpose Cooperative (MPC) is like the lahar—initially overlooked but now a cornerstone of strength and resilience in Zambales and beyond. Just as lahar enriched the land, Mother Rita MPC enriches the lives of its members, cultivating a community where resources and opportunities flourish. M other Rita MPC was formally registered on February 18, 1992 with the Cooperative Development Authority as a Multi-Purpose Cooperative headed by Mother Leontina Castillo, OSA and the Augustinian Sisters of our Lady of Consolation sent to Candelaria, Zambales for a mission. The Earlier members of the COOP were the victims of Mt. Pinatubo eruption who fled from Olongapo to San Narsiso who decided to settle in the Mother Rita Resettlement Area, Barangay Yamot, Candelaria, Zambales. Over time, membership has increased from the towns of Candelaria, Masinloc and Sta. Cruz. January 16, 2008, Nagbunga Branch was opened in Northern Zambales to spread throughout the province the “Vision” and “Mission” of Mother Rita MPC.
