BAGUIO CITY— The Department of the Interior and Local Government Cordillera, through its Cordillera Local Governance Regional Resource Center (CLGRRC), in partnership with the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, will be hosting a webinar dubbed “Ipeyas: Online Knowledge-Sharing Sessions on Philippine Currencies and Financial and Economic Matters with Bangko Sentral Ng Pilipinas (BSP) Northern Luzon” on January 31, 2024, via Zoom Online Platform and Facebook Live.
“This collaborative engagement with BSP is designed for provincial, city, municipal, and barangay officials and functionaries, as well as DILG-CAR regional and field officers, to enhance public awareness on Philippine currency integrity and financial matters, covering topics such as Philippine currencies, financial learning, and the Paleng-QR Ph Plus Program,” said Assistant Regional Director Ruperto Maribbay of the Department of Interior and Local Government (DLIG) today.
He underscored the importance of financial literacy in instilling fiscal responsibility among government employees and local government unit (LGU) functionaries. “We acknowledged how important grasping the principles of budgeting, debt management, and financial planning are to enhance the overall financial well-being of individuals and organizations,” he said.
Adding, “The importance of conducting online financial literacy training for government employees and LGU functionaries cannot be overstated. It not only contributes to personal financial well-being but also enhances job performance, ensures efficient use of public funds, and fosters a culture of ethical public service. It helps in fostering a responsible and accountable workforce in the government sector.”
Maribbay said that government employees and LGU functionaries have crucial responsibilities in serving the public. Being knowledgeable about finances enables individuals to make wise choices when it comes to their personal and professional lives. As a result, this contributes to responsible and ethical public service.
