BATAC CITY– The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas has strengthened its Economic and Financial Learning Center (EFLC) to fully serve its clientele who are in need of information in the areas of central banking, economics and finance.
LAOAG CITY- As part of its Programs for Adolescents and Reproductive Health, the City Government of Laoag is offering free circumcision this summer.


The EFLC is a one-stop shop where researchers, students, visitors can access data that are produced and monitored by the BSP.
According to Felicitas Santiago, City Population Program Officer, everything will be free for the patients, including antibiotics and pain relievers needed for post-surgery.


The center, located at the BSP Batac branch office, will be re-launched on May 14.
“We are targeting 500 males, including adults who want to be circumcised,” Santiago said.


“The center symbolizes our commitment to institutionalize and sustain a comprehensive financial education program for all Filipinos,” Matias, galido, Jr., BSP-Batac Deputy Director, said.
The activity will be conducted in the following venues: Barangay 59-A, April 23; Barangay 42, April 25; Barangay 49-B, April 30; Barangay 28, May 2; and Laoag City Hall, May 7.


On same day, the BSP will also open the Economic and Financial Learning Program (EFLP) which brings together the BSP’s outreach educational activities under one flagship program.
“Those interested need not enlist as this will be done on a ‘first-come-first serve’ basis. Those from other barangays only have to go to the nearest venue,” Santiago said.


The program is meant to promote greater awareness on economic and financial issues to help the public generate knowledge and develop the skills that would guide them in their financial decisions.
Doctors from the newly-upgraded Laoag City General Hospital (LCGH) and City Health Office (CHO) will conduct the minor surgery. They will be assisted by nurses from the CHO, Department of Public Safety (DPS) and Philippine National Red Cross (PNRC).


After the twin launch, BSP will be conducting a briefing on recent economic developments and the role of the BSP in the economy.
The activity is conducted in cooperation with the Sangguniang Kabataan of Laoag, LCGH, CHO, DPS and PNRC.
 
The briefing will focus on the three pillars of central banking which include price and financial stability and efficient payments and settlement systems. A discussion on the new generation Philippine currency will be included.
 
Other activities lined up after the launching are the following: Financial Empowerment Course for the Academe on May 15; Financial Learning Campaign for Overseas Filipinos and their Beneficiaries on May 16; Financial Empowerment Course for the Workforce also on may 16 and Financial Learning Seminar for Microfinance Clients and the Unbanked on May 16.
