THE Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI), through its microfinance arm, BPI Direct BanKo Inc., A Savings Bank (BanKo), continues to champion financial education as a key driver of economic empowerment.
Strengthening its role as a trusted partner, BPI reaffirms its support for the Pangkabuhayang QC (PBQC) program, equipping entrepreneurs with essential financial knowledge and tools for informed decision-making.
Led by the QC-Small Business and Cooperatives Development and Promotions Office, the PBQC program provides livelihood and financial assistance to entrepreneurs in Quezon City.
In 2024, BPI actively participated in seminar-payout events designed to enhance the financial well-being and resilience of small and microentrepreneurs.
"This partnership underscores BanKo's commitment to nation-building, particularly in supporting local government initiatives that foster resilient and self-sufficient communities," BanKo President Rod Mabiasen Jr. said.
