THE Shareholders’ Association of the Philippines (SharePHIL) and mobile payments service GCash have formalized a partnership aimed at expanding financial literacy and investor education.
In a statement, SharePHIL said that the partnership, sealed Friday during its first general membership meeting for 2026, seeks to make financial literacy materials from the group’s “Share the Wealth” initiative available through the GCash platform.
It said the team-up with GCash would allow more Filipinos to access educational content designed to help retail investors participate more confidently in the capital markets.
Under the collaboration, educational videos developed through Project RISE would be integrated into the GCash app for non-commercial and advocacy purposes.
The event also featured a fireside chat with former Department of Public Works and Highways secretary Rogelio Singson, who discussed the role of the private sector in promoting integrity, good governance, and rebuilding public trust.
“To answer the question on how the private sector can help build public trust, my quick answer is by demanding honesty, integrity, and accountability from our leaders, both elected and appointed,” he said.
Singson, who had served as commissioner of the Independent Committee for Infrastructure, said civic participation and ethical leadership are essential in strengthening institutions in both the public and private sectors.
The gathering also marked the induction of SharePHIL’s newest members and the incoming board of trustees for the 2025–2026 term.
Aurora “Boots” Geotina-Garcia, SharePHIL chairman, moderated the fireside chat, which centered on the theme of rebuilding public trust.
Founded in 2010 by a group of professionals and investors, the non-stock, non-profit group advocates for investor education on the rights accorded to them by their investment in publicly listed corporations and how their investment can help secure their financial future while fueling economic activity and development.
