The Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI), through its social development arm, will hold a Financial Wellness Fair, a platform to showcase some of the individuals and communities that benefited from the development programs of BPI Foundation. With the theme “Kasama Lahat sa Pag-unlad,” the fair, part of BPI Foundation’s 45th anniversary celebration, will be held from July 20 to July 23, 2023, at the Palm Drive Activity Center in Glorietta 2, Makati City.
Aligned with BPI’s overarching vision of building a better Philippines, the Financial Wellness Fair encapsulates the bank’s vision to contribute to nation building – one family and one community at a time. The event will serve as a platform to showcase various booths, activities, and programs that bring to life the inspiring stories of BPI Foundation’s partners and beneficiaries, while also providing market access for their products and services.
Key highlights of the fair will include Sinag Sari-Sari booths, where guests can explore and avail themselves of food items, eco-friendly bags, and home accessories locally made by social enterprises supported by BPI Foundation. Additionally, the fair will feature DOST-STARBOOKS, an educational resource hub that offers a wealth of knowledge for schools.
There will be Technical Vocational Training Sessions on Gourmet Tuyo Production and Liquid Soap Production that aim to empower participants with valuable vocational skills. Financial Education Sessions will also be held to equip underserved communities from Makati and Pateros with crucial financial literacy know-how.
At its core, the Financial Wellness Fair aims to build a culture of financial wellness to help create inclusive and sustainable communities.
