Aspiring entrepreneurs, students, MSME (micro, small, and medium enterprises) owners, and anyone who has a knack for business are in for an educational and exciting day on July 13, 2024, as Tala Philippines holds TALAkayan with Salve Duplito at the Trinoma Activity Center, Quezon City. 

Tala, a fintech company for the global majority, conducts financial education workshops called "TALAkayan" hosted by financial literacy advocate and money expert Salve Duplito. Here, participants learn money management skills and other tools to help them take control of their finances and achieve their financial goals. They can also join fun games to test what they learned and to win amazing prizes. 

For the 13th edition of Talakayan, Tala will mount an exhibit alongside the learning session in cooperation with Iskaparate, a platform that helps put micro-entrepreneurs in the digital space. This will feature 16 homegrown entrepreneurs who will showcase their products ranging from crocheted items and clay creations to baked boneless bangus and bagoong. The exhibit is open to all who are looking to support local brands and enterprises.

To date, a total of 1,105 participants have joined Talakayan workshops in various parts of the metro. 

“Access to financial education is very important for all Filipinos, and I’m glad that Tala is able to extend this opportunity to entrepreneurial mothers, housewives, and individuals through the workshop. We hope that through this, we can help them in improving their business and financial lives, in general,” said Duplito.

The event on July 13 will run from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., while the workshop will start at 2 p.m. Walk-in attendees are welcome to join and may register onsite before the workshop begins.
