Taking control of your financial future, well then you have to make sure to live within your budget, make investments, get insurance and start saving. These four — Budgeting, Investment, Insurance and Savings are key to achieve financial success.

That’s why the Project BIIS: “Secure Your Future: A Primer on Budgeting, Investment, Insurance and Savings for Youth” was made by Annabel Bangsoy, Mariel Baro, Kristelle Mae Dugay, Nikki Esguerra, Jerica Mae Fernando, Jannie Lyn Gavino, Vervaine Kitongan, Maricel Laguitao, Evan Dyke Miguel, Jency sol Ortega, Krizelle Brielle Pagaddut and Roseshell Andrea Pascua, under the advisory of Mr. Lorenzo Dominic Salazar, MBA, CPA.

Sangguniang Kabataan of Barangay Gibraltar was the primary stakeholder, and its youth benefited from the initiative. Bringing in the resource speaker for the event was Mr. Cristito Dao-anis, CPA.

This team recognized the importance of financial education for young people. By providing them with basic insights and practical skills, particularly in budgeting and saving, the seminar aimed to equip them to make prudent financial choices. This newfound responsibility and control over their finances will empower them to build a secure future, directly aligning with UN SDG 4: Quality Education.

So, let us begin by budgeting, saving, and investigating smart investments and insurance. It is your money, your future.
