PSC finance seminar up
ABOUT one hundred forty national coaches will participate in the Philippine Sports Commission’s Personality Enhancement Program (PEP) for Sports module on financial literacy tomorrow at Rizal Memorial Sports Complex.
The coaches were divided into two batches for the module, with the first held last Oct. 20. Aya Laraya, the man behind finance blog “Pesos and Sense,” will again be the featured resource speaker.
Commissioner and PEP project director Wigberto “Iggy” Clavecilla explained that after the successful conduct of the module for the country’s priority athletes last Sept. 22, he felt that the rest of the national pool should be able to learn more about the basics of saving and investing their hard-earned incentives and regular allowances from the government.
“We have heard stories about some of our national sports greats falling into difficult times after their athletic careers. We want to help them establish their families and live comfortably after retiring from active competition,” Clavecilla said.
