On November 18, 2025, the community of Brgy. Bayanan gathered for an insightful and empowering event titled “Edukasyong Pampinansyal Para sa Kabataan Tungo sa Magandang Kinabukasan.” Although focused on preparing the youth for a secure future, the session was attended by adults eager to strengthen their financial knowledge and become better guides for the younger generation.

Volunteers from the Bachelor of Science in Accountancy program led discussions on budgeting, saving habits, responsible spending, and the importance of financial planning. Through interactive activities and practical examples, participants learned strategies they could apply in their households and pass on to their children.

The event highlighted the vital role of adults in shaping financially literate youth and emphasized that a brighter future begins with informed decisions made today. With strengthened awareness and renewed confidence, the participants left inspired to nurture financially responsible families and communities.
