Mortuary Aid Plan (MAP)

Another service being provided by the cooperative for its members is the "Og-ogbo" or sharing one another's burden in times of death. Each regular member contributes fifty pesos (P50.00) as death aid.

This is a testimony to the cooperative principle on cooperation among the members. More so that the Besao culture and practice during death involves butchering of 10-20 pigs for rituals and for consumption during the wake. There is no insurance program in the community thus this is the best local insurance wherein there are no tedious documentary rquirements. With the death aid contributions and donations, the families of the departe are relieved of the burden of borrowing money for the ritual and other expenses.
