PESOS AND SENSE is a financial literacy program that covers a wide
range of personal finance and investment topics that typically intimidates the
average Filipino: the stock market, mutual funds, insurance, budgeting and debt
management etc. Its goal is to
empower Filipinos by teaching simple and practical knowledge in making
independent and wise choices in handling their money.
PESOS AND SENSE started as a TV show in September 2011 on GMA News
TV which ran for 13 episodes. It was
a weekly Sunday morning show that tackled personal finance and investments,
simplifying it to a more approachable and doable sense. The show was hosted by Investment
Advocate Mr. Aya Laraya, who is
also a Certified Securities representative, a Certified Investment Company
representative, a realtor and a writer with an MBA from University of Western
Australia. He started his stint in the stock market as a simple runner for the
old Philippine Stock Exchange. On top of being a licensed stockbroker, he
gained relevant experience from other industries such as mutual funds, real
estate and banking. He also shared his financial wisdom with the youth as a
professor at the Ateneo de Manila University.
After
its first season as a TV show, PESOS AND SENSE launched a seminar series which started April this
year. The schedule of the seminars
is posted on their website, Twitter and Facebook page. It is also has a very active online
community that provides helpful information and even inspiration to its loyal
followers.
It will have its next seminar on October
20, 2012 entitled Make Your Money Grow (Module 1), 9am-12nn / 1:30pm-4:30pm;
October 27, 2012 for
