The Skill Builders Academy PH, a social enterprise startup, is redefining the educational landscape in the Philippines with its mission to equip Filipino children with essential life skills not typically taught in schools. By focusing on both upscale communities and underserved public schools, the Academy addresses educational inequality and strives to level the playing field for all students.
On February 27, 2025, Skill Builders Academy PH will host a Financial Literacy Workshop for children aged 6 to 12 at the prestigious Alabang Country Club from 3:30 to 5:30 PM. This workshop aims to teach young participants foundational financial skills, such as budgeting, saving, and smart decision-making—crucial for their future success.
Inclusion at the Core
For every workshop held in upscale areas, Skill Builders Academy PH commits to conducting a free session at a public school for their top-performing students. This initiative ensures that even students from underserved communities who lack resources gain access to these transformative programs. The Academy emphasizes equality and equity by providing tailored opportunities to students from diverse backgrounds, helping address the ongoing education crisis in the Philippines.

He graduated with a degree in Economics and Finance from Bentley University in Boston, USA, and holds a Master’s in Finance from Bayes Business School in London, UK.

The event will be hosted by Gianinna Van Hoven, a professional host who graduated with a Degree in Communication from Ateneo de Manila University and moderated by Lily Rocaberte, a licensed teacher with 6 years of experience teaching preschool children who graduated from Ateneo de Davao University. Each workshop is conducted by professionals who are leaders in their respective fields, ensuring a top-quality learning experience for participants.
