As part of the objective of the Philippine Consulate General in Hong Kong SAR to upgrade the financial literacy skills of Filipino workers, the Consulate partnered with Vista Land-Hong Kong in organizing the Asensadong Pinoy Financial Awareness Seminar on 12 July 2015 at the Consulate’s Conference Room.

More than fifty (50) OFWs actively and eagerly participated in the lively seminar that focused on setting financial goals and on re-evaluating the OFWs’ spending habits and attitudes towards money.  The goal is for overseas workers to achieve long-term financial security.

Resource person Pastor Danilo Calingasan, a former OFW in Europe, shared his perspective, experience and expertise on achieving financial freedom and on global financial developments, and focused his workshop on entrepreneurship.

Asensadong Pinoy facilitators Ms. Patricia Clemente, Ms. Sheilla Libintin and Mr. Emil Diric conducted individual financial assessment for participants.

The Asensadong Pinoy Financial Awareness campaign was previously held in Europe, Middle East and Singapore, and is a continuing learning program for OFWs.
