In my recent speaking engagements with JA Philippines, Inc., Wells Fargo Philippines, and the Department of Education (DepEd) Philippines, I had the privilege of being a part of a panel discussion that was focused on financial literacy and empowerment of individuals—from students to DepEd teachers, educators and corporate professionals. Partnering with these organizations allowed me to contribute to a larger movement towards fostering financial responsibility and literacy across different sectors of society.

Do you believe that when you discover something you’re passionate about, it’s worth pursuing with dedication and enthusiasm, as it can bring fulfillment and success? This was something I mentioned as a panelist for this discussion with incredible DepEd teachers.
I honestly appreciate talking to successful people because a short chat can provide a whole lot of inspiration and guidance.
And so, I grabbed the chance! 
Although I was there as a speaker, I still had the opportunity to have a conversation with Mr. Jed Velarde, COL Financial’s Wealth expert. I also had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Krishna C. Alejandrino, JA Philippines’ Executive Director, during the event.
A special message to TEACHERS:
You are the modern heroes shaping the future, one student at a time. But to continue being the pillars of our society, it’s crucial that you take control of your finances.
By managing your money wisely, you not only secure your own future but also ensure that you can keep inspiring and educating with peace of mind. Remember, just as you invest time in your students, it’s time to invest in yourself.
Thank you for all that you do!
