Bukidnon Government Employees Multi-Purpose Cooperative (BUGEMCO)

“If not for the educational assistance provided by the co-op way back then, my fellow scholars and I would not be able to get to where we are now. I can confidently say that it is because of the co-op’s scholarship program that we all have jobs of our own and are earning well enough to support our loved ones.”

It is because of the co-op’s help that I could have one less worry as I studied and worked part-time during my summers with them.”
