Through the initiative of Marikina Cooperative Development Office (MCCDO) headed by Ms. Hazel Mascariňa, in coordination with Marikina City Cooperative Development Council (MCCDC) led by its Chairperson Lino de Guzman, Marikina City cooperatives were able to established a special project called Bayanihan ng Kooperatiba Laban sa Covid 19 – ‘Every Bigas is a Blessing’.
Every cooperative in the City is encouraged to donate rice to the Bayanihan Center of the Local Government of Marikina. Collected rice will be distributed to the less fortunate residents of Marikina City affected by the Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) imposed by the government.
