Raising awareness on the importance of making ethical and responsible financial decisions.

The Junior Confederation of Finance Associations – Philippines (JCFAP) is a student-led national umbrella organization representing finance and financial management students, as well as ABM SHS students, with members across the country. JCFAP advocates financial literacy and actively engages students and advisers, encouraging them to learn and contribute to building a more financially informed and ethically guided generation of finance leaders.

A key initiative of JCFAP is the Financial Literacy Caravan (FLC), an annual event designed to enhance students’ financial knowledge by exploring crucial topics such as financial access, technology-driven financial growth, and the development of a secure digital financial footprint. The caravan inspires future finance leaders by promoting transparency, integrity, accountability, and sound financial practices, which are principles that will guide them throughout their careers. In addition, the event provides students from different institutions the opportunity to connect and network with peers.

The FLC brings together industry experts to empower participants with actionable strategies for building a more inclusive and digitally advanced financial ecosystem. Mrs. Janina Angelique Lapuz-Cariaso addressed barriers to financial access and discussed how systemic challenges can be overcome through targeted interventions. Mr. Gerard Andrei B. Deinla, MTM, highlighted the role of FinTech and digital platforms in accelerating financial growth and expanding reach. Mr. Ramon Manuel Duayan emphasized equitable and transformative approaches to designing inclusive financial services. Lastly, Mr. Jason Casuncad guided attendees on building a credible digital financial footprint, a vital step for accessing modern financial services.

JCFAP extends its gratitude to all participants and invites the academic community to its upcoming flagship events, including the Finance Leaders’ Conference, National Finance Summit, and Virtual Career Fair, which continue to advance the organization’s mission of promoting financial literacy, ethical practices, and professional development among the youth. By participating in these events, students gain not only knowledge but also the inspiration and practical tools needed to become responsible, innovative, and impactful finance leaders of tomorrow.
