BPI Champions Financial Wellness for GenSan's Public Servants

In its ongoing pursuit to foster financial empowerment across the nation, the Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) recently brought its Financial Wellness initiative to the employees of General Santos City's Local Government Unit (LGU). More than 40 LGU staff members joined the session, gaining practical insights into managing their personal finances more effectively.

The event was headlined by Financial Wellness Coach Lyqa Maravilla, who shared actionable advice on saving, budgeting, and smart investing. Meanwhile, Rhea Lorrain Tecson from BPI Agency Banking provided a deep dive into the essentials of digital financial literacy, including cybersecurity best practices to keep personal information secure in the digital age.

“Financial education is a core part of BPI's mission,” emphasized Elena Torrijos, BPI Head of Public Affairs. “We believe that by empowering community frontliners with the right financial tools and knowledge, we can help them secure a brighter future for themselves and their families.”

The financial wellness session in GenSan is just one of BPI's many initiatives aimed at making financial literacy accessible to all Filipinos. Through its growing partnerships with LGUs and other key institutions, BPI continues to lead the charge in promoting long-term financial wellbeing, reaching not only public servants but also educators, small business owners, and diverse communities across the country.

Celebrating its 173rd Anniversary, BPI reaffirms its dedication to building a financially empowered society. By providing practical financial education and fostering strategic alliances, the bank envisions a future where every Filipino has the resources and knowledge to build a stable and prosperous life – one community at a time.
