APART from annually doing the “Pamaskong Handog” to honor overseas Filipinos (OF) and their families, BDO Remit has another advocacy that espouses financial education zeroing on the value of saving and investing.
Genie T. Gloria, senior vice president and head of the remittance of BDO Unibank Inc., said financial education is an invaluable gift to give the OF market and their beneficiaries because there will come a point where these workers abroad will return to their home country and choose to become entrepreneurs.
“Raising their financial knowledge should start at the onset, meaning, we teach them what they can do with their hard-earned money by allocating a portion to savings and looking for investments which can serve their long-term goals,” said Gloria.
