ARAL PLUS is a customer empowerment-focused financial education for micro and small entrepreneurs. Its goal is to build the financial capability of MSMEs to make informed decisions when availing financial products and services. On the last session entitled “ Reflection on Action Taken”, participants were asked to share their thoughts on purchasing a financial service. They were divided into two (2) groups, those who will potentially avail financial service and those who don’t. Each group were asked to state what hinders them in availing FS and how will they overcome it. Lastly, they were asked to write down suggestions on how a FSP can further help MSMEs become an empowered financial customer.
Mayor Rafael Tanjuatco also visited the activity. He thanked DTI and MCPI for the continuous support to Tanay MSMEs. “Suportahan natin ang mga trainings na hatid ng DTI, dahil ito ay makakatulong hindi lang sa inyong negosyo kung hindi pati na rin sa pansariling sa He was also asked to stay for the awarding of certificates.♦
