To further help promote sustainable financial behavior and financial literacy among Filipinos, consumer finance company Home Credit Philippines (HCPH), Manila Broadcasting Company (MBC) and local independent media agency PraXis have signed an agreement to produce a live radio show on DZRH. and its sister stations across the archipelago.
This daily two-minute radio program, which will be aired on DZRH from June 2022, between 4 a.m. and 5 a.m., will cover topics regarding the basic financial literacy issues that every Filipino needs to know – saving money , managing your budget, accessible financial options, growing above debt, growing money and advice on entrepreneurship.

This effort is in line with Home Credit‘s goal of championing ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) agendas by fostering financial inclusion in the country’s underserved sector.
