PMSC

                                                 HISTORY

It was January 29, 2009 when Dolefil Agrarian Beneficiaries Cooperative (DARBC) formed a Division called DARBC Manpower to cater its vast labor requirements for Pineapple Plantations. After one year of operation, DARBC recognized the capability and sustainability of the Manpower Division, thus, they decided to commercialize its services. It was March 23, 2010 when DARBC registered it separately to Cooperative Development Authority (CDA) as DARBC Job Placement Complex Cooperative (DARBC JPCC). The name DARBC JPCC was finally amended to Polomolok Manpower Services Cooperative (PMSC) by the General Assembly on January 16, 2012.
