The Bank of the Philippines Islands (BPI), through its social development arm, BPI Foundation (BPIF), strengthens its commitment to financial literacy by partnering with Knowledge Channel Foundation, Inc. (KCFI) to bring Estudyantipid, an engaging financial education video series, to schools in the Bicol region. Thispartnership is supported by the donation of Knowledge Channel TVs (KCTV), ensuring students gain access to quality financial learning resources.
BPIF and KCFI are working together to provide KCTVs to beneficiary schools in Naga City, Camarines Sur, and Sorsogon, areas significantly affected by Typhoon Kristine last year. More than just providing equipment, this initiative aims to instill financial awareness and responsibility among students.
“Together with our partners from KCFI, we are delighted to contribute to the revitalization efforts of our beneficiary schools in Bicol. Through the Estudyantipid series, we aim to inspire and equip the youth with essential financial knowledge, helping them develop healthy financial habits early on. By doing so, we empower them to build a more secure and financially stable future,” said Carmina Marquez, BPIF Executive Director.
Launched in September 2024, Estudyantipid presents short-form video lessons that introduce students to basic financial concepts, including saving, budgeting, and responsible spending. Integrating these lessons into classroom learning empowers students to build smart financial habits that will serve them well into adulthood. The program supports the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas’ (BSP) ongoing advocacy for youth financial literacy.
