17 November 2024, ULAANBAATAR—The growing community of Filipinos in Mongolia gathered to attend a financial education seminar hosted by the Philippine Embassy in Beijing.

With 72 Filipinos in attendance, Deputy Chief of Mission Arnel G. Talisayon led the participants through a series of discussions and practical workshops on topics such as entrepreneurship, marketing and advertising, and financial freedom and planning. He emphasized the importance of the community working towards financial security for themselves even as they secure their families back home—a common challenge for overseas Filipino workers.

The Filipino community was actively engaged throughout the program, having opportunities to draw up hypothetical business plans, to try their hand in creating their own brands, and to learn about various methods to save and invest in preparation for retirement.

The Philippine Embassy also maximized the platform to extend free consular services and guidance to the participants that required them. END.
