In line with the company’s mission to be every Filipino’s lifelong ally, Wais sa Home empowers Filipinos to be more financially savvy.
The leading consumer finance company in the Philippines, Home Credit Philippines (HCPH), launched its national community-based financial literacy program, Wais sa Home, in Iloilo City from October 6 to 8, 2022, as part of its commitment to empowering more Filipinos.
The flagship financial literacy program of Home Credit Philippines, Wais sa Home, aims to promote financial inclusion and increase Filipinos’ awareness of financial literacy. This initiative aims to educate communities on the fundamentals of budgeting and saving, how to use digital tools to manage finances, and how to avoid fraud and scams through a variety of FL programs and activities.
“As a trusted ally of Filipinos, we at Home Credit are committed not only to providing them assistance with their financial needs but also helping them choose sound decisions in managing their hard-earned money and keeping their overall financial health. Through Wais sa Home, we at Home Credit are one with the government and our regulators in promoting and creating a financially inclusive Philippines,” said Ken Lerona, HCPH’s Head of PR.
To kick-start the series of financial literacy activities in Iloilo City, Home Credit organized Wais sa Barangay and Wais na OFW Families, two of the FL activities of Home Credit for Iloilo.
Over 50 OFW families were the attendees of the two-day Financial Management Seminar conducted in partnership with the Iloilo PESO Office and different government agencies last October 6 to 7, 2022.
Meanwhile, almost 200 residents of San Isidro in Jaro and Nabitasan in Lapaz, Iloilo City attended the Wais sa Barangay program last October 8, 2022.
“Home Credit believes that promoting good financial habits and financial literacy in the communities is an important milestone in our mission to be every Filipino’s ally as they build their lives and dreams,” said Wade Eusores, HCPH’s Corporate Communications Manager.
Home Credit’s “Wais sa Home” Iloilo FL Roadshow Barangay” is mounted in collaboration with the different community leaders and stakeholders in every community to ensure that the topics are attuned to the needs of the communities, and that the participants are those who need the program the most.
“We hope that our participants not only become financially wiser through this program but equally, we hope that they take these lessons to heart and share it with their families, neighbors, and friends,” said Anne Urbano, HCPH’s Regional Sales Manager for Western Visayas.
Home Credit will be rolling out a series of financial literacy programs in Iloilo City this month of October targeting different audiences and communities. These will be organized in partnership with the local government unit and other local organizations in Iloilo City.
Among the programs of Home Credit’s Wais sa Home in Iloilo City are financial literacy talk with OFW Families, Wais sa Nation: Iloilo Caravan, Wais Campus: UI PHINMA FL Workshop for students, Iloilo esports Community Partnership, and Iloilo Pride Pyesta Participation.
“We want to bring our financial literacy programs to the provinces where there are bigger opportunities to promote financial education. Through Wais sa Home, we hope to add value to the lives of the Filipino consumers we serve,” shared Russel Patina, HCPH’s Public Relations Manager.
