SmarTrade, a training and consultancy company advocating financial literacy among Filipinos, continues integrating Filipino culture into its financial education programs, using teaching techniques that resonate strongly with Filipino learners.
In free learning sessions, webinars, and one-on-one trading coaching, trainers adopt a mixed-language approach combining Tagalog and English to make lessons accessible, especially for beginners. They use everyday analogies with local context, storytelling, and interactive discussions.
SmarTrade trainers draw from common local experiences—budgeting household income, saving for family milestones, or managing remittances—to explain trading principles practically and relevantly. These approaches build confidence, encourage participation, and empower attendees to apply financial strategies personally.
During Buwan ng Wika observance, SmarTrade extends cultural initiatives internally, integrating appreciation into employee engagement programs as meaningful corporate culture.
“Wika at TRADEisyon,” this year’s Buwan ng Wika event, highlighted the importance of embracing Filipino language and traditions while fostering workplace unity. The celebration featured kakanin (traditional rice cakes), meaningful delicacies bringing warmth and team spirit. Shared food and culture helped employees reconnect with Filipino identity traditions.
“At SmarTrade, we believe that our strength lies not only in the services we provide but also in the culture we cultivate,” said Joyce Mayo, President and CEO of SmarTrade. “Through events like these, we remind our team that while we work hard to empower others financially, we also take time to honor our roots and celebrate our shared traditions.”
This cultural appreciation commitment reflects SmarTrade’s mission of empowering Filipinos toward financial independence through wealth-building education. By promoting financial literacy while fostering workplace well-being, SmarTrade ensures both employees and community thrive.
