FinTalks x SLSU: Bold Perspectives to Advance Financial Literacy in the Philippines


Wazzup Pilipinas!

1500 attendees. 10 speakers. 5 series. 1 event. This is FinTalks x SLSU - a series of major seminars organized by fourth year students of BSBA - Financial Management in Southern Luzon State University, Lucban, Quezon in cooperation with SLSU Junior Financial Executives.


#1: Kita Kita: A New Way to See Credit and Collection

The first of the five installments of FinTalks x SLSU was held last March 2, 2016 at SLSU CAM Auditorium. Current College of Business Administration Student Council Governor Ms. Lineth Cruzat served as the motivational speaker. Cruzat in her speech reiterated the importance of believing in oneself. She added, "...naniniwala ako na yung iba sa atin ay nahihiya lang. Yun yung gusto ko na mapag-aralan natin na wag ka matakot mag voice out, wag ka matakot mag share na yung sa palagay mo dapat mong i-share kasi walang mawawala. Makakatulong ka pa..."

Another speaker is Mr. Carlo Magno Sabater who discussed the brief history and the benefits brought by the credit and collection in our economy. He also inspired the attendees to take the risks because the power of change can be found within us. 


#2: Breaking Through Traditions: Harnessing Innovation for Inclusive Finance

The second installment aimed in highlighting the role of Millenials in promoting financial inclusion was held last March 16, 2018 at SLSU Covered Court. The activity was also attended by external participants from selected senior high schools in Quezon province.

One of the speakers is Ms. Joy Anne Pasumbal, who in her early age of 20 was already an entrepreneur and a trader. She discussed the different personal and financial challenges students are facing nowadays and provided tips on how we can overcome those challenges.

Another speaker is Mr. Cesar Augusto Villanueva, who works in the Inclusive Finance Advocacy Office of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas. He said that "financial inclusion is a good policy objective." Villanueva in his speech encouraged the attendees to help the BSP in promoting financial inclusion through the use of technology. He also presented the different financial inclusion initiatives conducted by the BSP that are benefiting the Filipinos today.
