The Northern Cement Corporation (NCC), a company under San Miguel Corporation, invited the Colayco Foundation for Education to conduct a Retirement Program. Mr. Oliver Gorrospe, General Manager of NCC, raised that it is important for their retirees to be ready as they retire, especially because they have treated everyone as members of their NCC Family.

A two-day retirement workshop was given by the CFE for the retiring employees of NCC. The program targeted two main aspects that will have a big change when they enter the world of being unemployed: Psychological and Financial.

Everyone having a good time

The first day of the program is all about the Psychological preparation that the employees will need as a change in their everyday lives will occur. Ms. Lydia, a retired Guidance Councilor, shared her personal experiences in her retirement day and how she has coped up with them.

In the second day of the program, Mr. Armand  Bengco, Executive Director of CFE, discussed the usual mistakes that retirees do when they receive their retirement pay. He also said that instead of spending the retirement pay for big ticket items, he suggested that it can be used to replace their salaries if it can be invested wisely. He also said that the retirees can still go into some activities that can generate income.

Retirement is only the end of work, not the end of life. Do you agree? Let us conduct a Retirement Seminar for your corporation, association, or group. Give  your retirees a new leap in their new phase. Call us at 637-3731 or 637-3741 and look for Mr. James Gonzales.

The Colayco Foundation for Education continued its plan to spread its Financial Education advocacy, this time in the southern part of the Philippines.

In partnership with the Ateneo de Zamboanga University, CFE conducted the Pisobilities: WEalth Within Your Reach seminar in Zamboanga City last May 4.

Mr. Armand Bengco, Executive Director of the Colayco Foundation, took the opportunity to share how the Zamboangueños and other Mindanaoans can be wealthy through the right financial mindset and proper management of their personal finances. He also introduced Mutual Funds as a good investment vehicle that the participants can use in growing their money.

Last April 26, the Ateneo de Manila University Human Resource Management Office put up a retirement program for the employees of the Ateneo de Manila University. The program is for people from the academe, administration and other staff.

The retirement program aims to prepare the retirees from the different changes that will take place when they retire from Psychological, Spiritual, Social and Financial. Ms. Maffy Lagrada-Batungbacal and Ms. Nikki Valenciano, organizers of the said event, invited the Colayco Foundation to help their staff in facing the new chapter of the life financially.

Mr. Armand Bengco, Executive Director of the Colayco Foundation, shared the first things that the retirees should prepare before they retire and pointed out some possible investment opportunities that the retirees might go into.

The Colayco Foundation left a final reminder: We retire from work, not in life. Thus, we should be ready ourselves to face that new phase in our life.

Are your employees approaching their twilight years? Why not let us help you with that. Colayco Foundation offers retirement seminars for corporations, associations, and other organizations. Just call 637-3731 or 637-3741 and look for Mr. James Gonzales.

Last May 14, the Colayco Foundation went to Dagupan City to conduct a Pisobilities: Wealth Within Your Reach Seminar. EDNAS School invited the Colayco Foundation headed by its Executive Director, Mr. Armand Bengco, to educate their faculty on proper financial management and investing.

Mr. Amado Garcia of First Metro Asset Investment Corp , was tapped by CFE to introduce Mutual Funds to the employees of EDNAS School and the wealth opportunities through investing. Also, the Kapatiran sa Kasaganaan Service and Muti-Purpose Cooperative (KSK-Coop), represented by Mr. Joel Cala,  invited the participants to join the coop that provides various business and investment opportunities to its members.

Ms. Candy Bancaflor, owner of EDNAS School believes that this first step will ricochet from the faculty to their students, resulting to the child’s capability to manage his/her allowances and produce passive income through investing.
