Mayor April Aguilar expressed her appreciation to the MMDA and other government agencies for bringing their programs and services to Las Piñas residents.

Congressman-elect Yamsuan to implement twin programs to improve financial literacy of Parañaque folks

Congressman-elect Yamsuan to implement twin programs to improve financial literacy of Parañaque folks

carlocarrasco

Recently the incoming Parañaque District 2 Representative Brian Yamsuan confirmed that he is banking on twin livelihood and employment programs to improve the financial literacy of his constituents, according to a Manila Bulletin news report.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news report of the Manila Bulletin. Some parts in boldface…

Parañaque City 2nd district representative-elect Brian Raymund Yamsuan is eyeing a “culture of financial literacy” for his constituents through his twin livelihood and employment programs.

Yamsuan, who served as Bicol Saro Party-list representative in the 19th Congress, said he will make financial literacy a key component of the training received by livelihood program beneficiaries in a bid to them make informed and responsible decisions about the funds they have received from the government.

These include recipients of Yamsuan’s “Bigay Negosyo” and “Dagdag Puhunan Para sa Kabuhayan” programs, which he has been implementing in his home district in coordination with the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) and the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), respectively.

“Ang layunin natin ay maging ‘wais’ ang bawat Parañaqueño sa paghawak ng kanilang pera, simula dito sa distrito dos (Our goal is to make every Parañaqueno handle their money wisely, starting here in district two),” he said.

“Many people think that financial literacy is a daunting, complex idea. We will partner with private sector groups to simplify and explain financial concepts so that they would be easy to understand and put into practice,” Yamsuan noted.

“Kasama na sa financial literacy program ang pagtuturo sa kanila kung paano mag-budget, mag-ipon, mag-invest, humiram ng karagdagang pondo at magkaroon ng kaalaman tungkol sa mga financial products and services na maari nilang gamitin para mapalago ang kanilang maliit na negosyo,” explained the former Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) secretary.

(Included in the financial literacy program is teaching them how to budget, save, invest and borrow additional funds and other knowledge about financial products and services that they can use to expand their small businesses.)

“Developing a culture of financial literacy should be our first step towards financial inclusion where every Filipino, regardless of his economic status, has easy and affordable access to financial services,” he added. 

Yamsuan said he is also planning to include “ayuda” or cash aid beneficiaries in his financial literacy program.

“The government allocates billions of pesos each year under the national budget to fund livelihood programs and provide ‘ayuda’ to our low-income countrymen. Financial literacy will not only help recipients of these support programs make rational decisions about the money they receive, but will also mean less ‘ayuda’ and other forms of social protection going to waste due to poor financial decisions,” he said.

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What do you think about this recent development? If you are a resident of Parañaque, do you think Congressman-elect Yamsuan’s twin programs will succeed in making his constituents more knowledgeable about financial literacy? Do you think a more financial literate population is the key to cutting down people’s dependence on ayuda or assistance from the government? How many members of your local community became dependent on ayuda since the COVID-19 pandemic?

Several minors rescued by NBI in Parañaque City, suspects apprehended

Several minors rescued by NBI in Parañaque City, suspects apprehended

carlocarrasco

Recently in Parañaque City, elements of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) rescued several minors and arrested two suspects for offering the said minors to clients in exchange for money, according to a GMA Network news report.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the GMA news report. Some parts in boldface…

Eleven minors, aged 14 to 16, who were allegedly being sexually exploited were rescued by the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) Human Trafficking Division in Parañaque City.

According to a 24 Oras report by John Consulta on Thursday, two suspects, believed to be pimps, were arrested for allegedly offering the minors to clients for P2,000. The suspects reportedly lured the minors into their services, bringing them to public establishments or restaurants, where customers could choose from among them.

Tensions escalated during the operation when some of the minors attempted to flee, but they were rescued by authorities. The transactions were reportedly carried out through messaging apps and text messages. The minors were promised free snacks and a “good time”, only to later be coerced into providing sexual favors.

“They would be tricked into libre ng merienda and a good time. And later on after the fact of the sexual favor, bibigay na yung bayad. Niloloko and then later on they would be tricked into going out with the customer. Nakakabahala ito dahil unang-una minors ang binibenta dito. Hindi lang na very public na ‘yung pangyayari kung saan-saan,” said NBI spokesperson Regional Director Ferdinand Lavin.

They are currently under the custody of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) to undergo counseling.

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What do you think about this recent development? If you are a resident of Parañaque, are you concerned that there could be a lot more human traffickers and pimps doing illegal operations? Do you consider human trafficking a serious problem in the city?
