Actress Iza Calzado recently joined other InLife Sheroes in encouraging Filipino women to be financially empowered.
Set to reprise the role of the mature Darna in the latest adaptation of the comic heroine on television, Calzado shared how women can take control of their finances.
“Importante na ma-empower ang mga kababaihan at lahat ng tao sa financial literacy. (It’s important to empower women and everyone on financial literacy). I’ve made a lot of mistakes in the way I handled my money through the years, and I’m still learning.
That’s why I think Pinays should talk about money without that shame,” she said during the recent InLife Sheroes #InAko event that was broadcast live via InLife’s Facebook page.
The actress added that it is essential to have discussions about money that don’t come from a place of arrogance or judgment.
Calzado, along with mompreneur and blogger Shari Poquiz, health advocate Dr. Gia Sison, actress and songwriter Abby Asistio talked about their experiences of becoming financially independent during the online event presented by Insular Life and hosted by DJ Chacha.
