The Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) has partnered with the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) – Regional Office XI to strengthen financial literacy among professionals and aspiring professionals in Davao City.

Discover how BPI continues to champion financial literacy for Filipinos, from educating Filipino seafarers and their families to empowering professionals in Davao.

BPI conducted a financial wellness session for PRC personnel and select professionals on January 17, 2025. Led by BPI Wealth Senior Investment Advisor Eric John Endres, the session covered essential topics such as budgeting, financial planning, and investment options. The goal was to equip participants with the knowledge and tools to make informed financial decisions for long-term security.

“We are excited to be here in Davao City to conduct a financial wellness session tailored specifically for professionals. Last year, our team made stops in key cities across the Philippines, bringing financial wellness programs to MSMEs, cooperatives, and local government employees. This year, we are taking it a step further by broadening our reach to equip professionals and other sectors with the tools they need to achieve financial security and growth,” said Maria Elena Torrijos, BPI Public Affairs and Communications Head.

See how BPI has been empowering Filipinos with financial literacy, from OFWs in Hong Kong who attended expert-led workshops to professionals in Davao striving for financial security.

As part of the collaboration, BPI also donated furnishings for PRC – Regional Office XI’s examination venue to enhance its capacity to accommodate examinees.

“This partnership with BPI marks another milestone in our efforts to build lasting relationships to various partners that share the same ideals and values we hold dear. Together, we will dedicate these items to make a lasting impact on the lives we pledge to serve as public servants and as a private organization,” said Raquel Abrantes, Regional Director of PRC – Regional Office XI.

BPI’s commitment to financial literacy spans generations, from professionals in Davao to Filipino students learning money management through library-based programs.

PRC XI administers licensure exams for 46 professions, serving candidates from Davao and neighboring cities like Koronadal, Butuan, Cagayan de Oro, and Kidapawan.

“At BPI, we understand that managing finances is a deeply personal journey. That is why we are committed to being a constant and reliable partner for Filipinos, helping them achieve their financial goals—whether they are just starting out or already established in their fields. This commitment aligns with our vision of building a better Philippines—one family, one community at a time,” Torrijos added.
