In her message to participants, Odiongan
Mayor Trina Firmalo-Fabic said, “Today is a day not just for learning but also
for empowering others through financial education. Echoing our goal to uplift
the lives of every Odionganon, let us appreciate the importance of fin ed as a
tool that can help our community reach bigger goals.”
The session covered financial literacy
topics, such as financial planning, budgeting and saving, debt management,
basics of investing, and digital financial literacy.
“There is strength in numbers. We hope to
continue conducting these sessions and create a multiplier effect across local
communities—to share knowledge that is not only engaging and informative, but
also inspiring,” said BSP Economic and Financial Learning Office Director
Marianne Santos.
Capacity-building at the LGU level helps
sustain the broader strategy of the BSP and BDO Foundation in enhancing
nationwide financial education programs. This training of trainers in Odiongan
is one of the interventions that the partners spearhead to continuously improve
the financial literacy levels of Filipinos nationwide.
