Financial
education for everyone: Tala Philippines extends TALAkayan’s reach in promoting
financial literacy
TALAkayan, an award-winning series of financial education workshops, is the
pioneering initiative of Tala Philippines in its mission to enhance financial
literacy for the global majority. Implemented in partnership with Empower and
Transform (EAT), the program aims to equip Filipinos with knowledge on the
basics of personal finance and money management.
Tala Philippines is further expanding the
reach and impact of TALAkayan by rolling out educational digital content that
is practical and easy to understand from its successful workshop series. This
is part of its efforts to make financial education even more accessible and
share the value of financial education and literacy to Filipinos. Every week, a
new video will be uploaded on Tala Philippines’ social media platforms that
covers topics from viral saving challenges and everyday inflation hacks to
understanding credit score and investing.
The financial literacy video series was
launched during a special TALAkayan workshop conducted on July 8, 2025.
Bloggers, influencers, and media practitioners participated in the interactive
session led by financial guru Salve Ibañez who expounded on the concepts of
goal setting, saving and budgeting, debt management, differentiating between
good and bad debt, calculating one’s net-worth, retirement planning, and
investing, and the importance of these in improving financial health.

At the end of the workshop, she stressed how
anyone can greatly benefit from having access and knowledge about personal
finance, and applying it in their day-to-day lives. This is the message Tala
Philippines wants to bring out through the TALAkayan workshops and the video
series—financial education is for everyone, no matter what age, occupation,
gender or background you may have. It is a valuable tool that can impact lives
for the better.
“You are not defined by when you started in
your financial journey, but the steps you take to achieve progress,” Salve
added.
To date more than 1,200 participants from
various sectors, including microentrepreneurs, factory workers, 4Ps graduates,
OFWs, jeepney drivers, and farmers, have already been engaged across 13
TALAkayan workshops. These were held in various locations in Metro Manila,
Laguna, Quezon Province, Nueva Ecija, and Singapore.
“Our goal with the TALAkayan workshops and
video series is to make financial education more accessible to many. Money
management and other related concepts aren’t usually taught in schools but it’s
fundamental in leveling the playing field and giving everyone a fair shot despite
the inequalities we may face every day,” said Missy Santos, Marketing Director
of Tala Philippines.
Tala provides the global majority with the
equal opportunity to grow, both financially and personally, and transform their
lives for the better by making financial services, particularly credit, more
accessible and promoting financial literacy.
