BPI continues to support livelihood assistance program of QC LGU

The Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI), through its microfinance arm, BPI Direct BanKo, Inc. (BanKo), has reaffirmed its support for the Pangkabuhayang QC (PBQC) program, reinforcing its role as a trusted partner dedicated to empowering communities through financial education and strategic partnerships.

Led by the QC-Small Business and Cooperatives Development and Promotions Office, the PBQC program is a livelihood and financial assistance initiative that benefits entrepreneurs in Quezon City. In 2024, BPI actively participated in seminar-payout events aimed at equipping small and micro-entrepreneurs with essential financial knowledge and tools to help them make informed decisions, enhancing their financial well-being and resilience.

“This partnership underscores BanKo’s commitment to nation-building, particularly in supporting local government initiatives that foster resilient and self-sufficient communities,” said Rod Mabiasen, Jr., BanKo President.

To conclude the third batch for the Phase 4 of the PBQC program, the QC-Small Business and Cooperatives Development and Promotions Office organized training and payout sessions from January 21 to 24 and January 28 to 31, 2025. Over 3,400 beneficiaries from Quezon City Districts 1 to 6 attended these sessions, gaining valuable training and insights from national government agencies and the private sector partners.

During the program, BanKo representatives shared practical savings tips and encouraged participants to adopt wise resource management strategies. Through its financial solutions and literacy programs, BanKo continues to champion financial inclusion and empower Filipino communities.
