This milestone is especially meaningful to us because it speaks of our resilience and strength. Our age shows that we have stood the test of time and we are still standing strong as we navigate through the ups and downs of our environment. Today, Metrobank&#x27;s goal goes beyond banking, in order to ensure that you are indeed in good hands. We elevate our mission of being a responsible and trusted financial institution with the introduction of the first in the Philippine market – dynamic financial electronic book or e-book where you can learn practical and easy to understand concepts about money,&quot; shares Bliz Cuna, Head of Enterprise Services Sector of Metrobank.As an institution that advocates financial education, Metrobank believes that it can help empower individuals to make firm financial decisions which, in turn, may help Filipinos achieve financial resiliency.To achieve this goal, they will be launching a financial education <a href="https://moneybility.metrobank.com.ph">platform</a>, that will house Moneybility, an e-book that aims to help redefine Filipinos&#x27; perspective about money and how to gauge its power. <div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img alt="Metrobank Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer Digs Dimagiba talks about their new offering " Photo="" source:="" ABS-CBN="" src="https://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/2022/advertorial/10/12/dimagiba-(1).jpg"/><figcaption>Metrobank Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer Digs Dimagiba talks about their new offering &#x27;Moneybility&#x27;.

We believe that when your moneybility increases, your mindset changes, you actually make better choices in life, so higher moneybility, better life-ability as well and that becomes a positive spiral for the industry, for the country, and for people in general,&quot; shares Digs Dimagiba, Chief Marketing Officer of Metrobank.&quot;Metrobank aims to make Filipinos financially resilient. The Bank wants to provide Filipinos with the gift of peace of mind and the ability to sleep soundly at night even after paying for their bills, settling their amortization, and dealing with all their financial obligations. It has been Metrobank&#x27;s mission to prepare Filipinos to adapt to whatever financial circumstance they find themselves in,&quot; says Dimagiba.Whether it is a calamity, accident, loss of job, health crisis, or loss of a breadwinner – they want to educate Filipinos to be financially prepared for any situation through their Moneybility platform. &quot;The beauty of being digital is that everybody with a mobile device and data connection can access Moneybility. It is free so all they need to do is go to the website, moneybility.metrobank.com.ph, and sign up. As soon as our e-book becomes available in the market, they will receive regular content updates,&quot; says Dimagiba.Moneybility is not only a textbook that Filipinos or anyone who is interested in being financially literate can read, but it will also have interactive multimedia and quizzes, so that even the younger generation can find financial learning to be fun.Metrobank also believes that financial education should be done as a family because when a family says that &quot;we need to get better at it together&quot; the whole community rises and it starts with having the right resources, the right content that they can access.&quot;Maybe (this celebration is) not so much about Metrobank, but our mission to really help the Filipinos to increase their moneybility, that is how we believe we can be part of the Filipino family. We have always been a strong believer in education, so this is our next step right now in a continuing series of things that we are doing that hopefully helps our country,&quot; shares Dimagiba.Metrobank has rolled out different financial education tools over the years. For investments, it has introduced Earnest, a learning and investing platform with easy-to-understand lesson cards, digestible financial news, and simple investing explainers for starting investors.
