Thirty Parent Leaders of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) gathered at Tuquib Hall, St. Augustine Cathedral, Cagayan de Oro City, on Friday morning, November 6, 2026, for a Financial Literacy Training organized by the City Inter-Agency Committee–4Ps and sponsored by the Rotary Club of Cagayan de Oro Premier. The activity aimed to equip participants with practical money management skills to help them make informed financial decisions and build more secure futures for their families.

The training focused on essential financial literacy concepts, including budgeting, saving, prioritizing household needs, avoiding unnecessary debt, and preparing for emergencies. Through these lessons, participants gained practical insights into making the most of their resources while developing habits that support long-term financial stability.

Hon. Gilda “Gigi” Go, Chairperson of the Committee on Cooperatives, and President-Elect Krisha June Burgos of the Rotary Club of Cagayan de Oro Premier delivered messages of support. Director Rowena Adame of the Rotary Club of Cagayan de Oro Premier, who is also affiliated with MCCB, introduced the resource speakers.

Leading the discussions were Dr. Ruthlove Valenzona Russell, DM, Dean of Xavier University's School of Business and Management, and Mr. Rolan Literatus, also of the university's School of Business and Management. Both speakers shared practical approaches to managing household finances, building savings habits, and making responsible financial choices that participants could apply in their daily lives.

Representing the Rotary Club of Cagayan de Oro Premier during the activity were President-Elect Krisha June Burgos, Directors Rowena Adame, Jena Morales, and Edgar Requilme, and Rotarian Michael Adame. Their participation reflected the club's support for initiatives that strengthen financial awareness and promote economic opportunities within the community.

The activity was facilitated by the City Social Welfare and Development (CSWD) 4Ps Section, Community Improvement Division, and CSWD City Action Team, with the Rotary Club of Cagayan de Oro Premier serving as sponsor.

Beyond the training itself, the initiative sought to create a ripple effect within the 4Ps community. As Parent Leaders, the 30 participants are encouraged to share their newfound knowledge with fellow beneficiaries, helping other households develop sound financial habits and make more informed decisions about their resources.

By supporting financial education at the grassroots level, the Rotary Club of Cagayan de Oro Premier continues to contribute to Rotary's focus on community economic development. The training offered participants practical tools they can use not only to manage today's household expenses but also to prepare for tomorrow's needs.#
