Pru Life UK provided financial management and mental health tips to Mandaluyong residents in Taguig City, mainly women and solo parents. The session, led by psychologist Marika Melgar and Pru Life UK Branch Manager Jovelyn Tungcul-Torres, highlighted the connection between mental health and finances, emphasizing the importance of financial awareness and inclusion.
Organized in partnership with the Mandaluyong City government represented by Councilor Leslie Cruz and Rotary Clubs of Mandaluyong-Biyaya and Mandaluyong East, the session also covered best practices and tips on livelihood and how the residents can be entrepreneurs.
“Through these community learning sessions, we want to help more Filipino families, especially those from underprivileged backgrounds, manage and protect their finances. We also include mental health and livelihood topics to help build long-term resilience in communities. These learning sessions are part of our commitment to being the most trusted partners and protectors of many Filipino families,” shares Maricel Estavillo, Pru Life UK VP for Government Relations & Sustainability.
“We are grateful to our like-minded partners from the government and community-based organizations who share our mission to empower more Filipinos through financial and health education,” she continues.
