Almacen Fishermen Cooperative (AFC) was established in 2023 with the support of Hermosa’s municipal cooperative development office. Named after the barangay where most of its members reside, AFC sells fishing supplies and gear and processes bottled sardines. It currently has 31 members.

AFC envisions becoming a robust and progressive cooperative that uplifts its members and the broader community. With a strong commitment to equality and empowerment, the organization fosters collaboration and inclusivity, with women holding important positions that drive activities and facilitate partnerships.
