A new milestone for Peso Smart! ๐๐ฑ
For the first time, the Peso Smart program is being implemented in the Farm Schools, bringing financial literacy learning opportunities to even more young Filipinos. We are excited to see how the modules will help our farm school learners develop smart money habits and make informed financial decisions, particularly in managing the income they earn from the produce they grow on their farms.
We had a successful series of Peso Smart launches last August 17โ18, 2026, at:
๐ Cansilayan Farm School, Negros Occidental
๐ Manghanoy Farm School, Negros Occidental
๐ Eva J. Montilla Farm School, Negros Occidental
This milestone would not have been possible without the strong support, leadership, and advocacy of Negros Occidental Schools Division Superintendent Gladys Amylaine D. Sales, CESO V, who recognized that the Peso Smart financial literacy program would be a valuable complement to the activities and lessons of our Farm Schools. We likewise thank Assistant Schools Division Superintendents Enjenette D. Baroa, CESE, and Julito L. Felicano, CESE; CID Chief Arch. Nelson G. Bedaure; OIC-SGOD Chief Dency Grace A. Padillon; and Senior Education Program SpecialistโSM Maoel John N. Barredo for their invaluable support, warm welcome, and commitment to the successful implementation of the Peso Smart program. ๐๐
We also extend our appreciation to the school heads, teachers, facilitators, volunteers, and everyone who helped make these launches successful.
Together, we continue to empower students with essential financial literacy skills, helping them make smart money choices and turn their dreams into achievable goals. ๐ช๐ผ๐
