Last Saturday, I attended the 2nd DLSU-D JFINEX Students Summit: Money Matters, Changing The Way You Think About Money at the Ugnayang La Salle Gymnasium, DLSU-D. It was one of the biggest events I have gone to so far in this year and I must say they did a really splendid job. The DJSS is a fund raising event held annually in our school. I organized the first DJSS but this year's summit far outshined and outperformed the previous one.
Four amazing and engaging speakers graced the stage and talk about how money affect our sense of leadership, investing, relationships with others and our spirituality. All of the speakers are in the top of their fields and were so engaging, you couldn't help but get drawn in their talk.
The organizers also didn't disappoint the participants with their generous sponsors and food partner. Food quality was ensured by McDonald's and thousands of pesos worth of raffle draws were given by their sponsors! The most memorable ones were the 5 lucky winners for the 25k accident insurance by Sunlife;the 3 10k discount from Tree Top Adventure and 10 lucky backpack winners from Hawkbag.
The weather was especially sunny on that day as well and there were a lot of participants. the whole gymnasium was jam-packed! It's really amazing how one organization is able to spearhead all of this is certainly a feat.
The summit all in all had a wholistic view about money and gave its attendees insights on how money affects a person as a whole. The morning talk focused more on money and how it affects your sense of leadership with Mr. Abante of the Department of Finance, he talk about how as young government officials are constantly facing a lot of challenges. Mr. Marvin Fausto talked about how you can use money to start investing and start to accumulate wealth at a young age by investing in the stock market. Mr. Pangilinan enumarated how important building good relationship with others affect your mindset in money emphasizing that a great relation ship with God and your family can help you better handle your finances. Lastly, Pastor Soriano, inspired us to be better investors while also stressing out that we need not be consumed by money in order to experience a full and satisfying life.
At the end of the day, everything went on smoothly up until the closing remarks to the distribution of certificates. The only thing I could comment on was the lack of ventilation and poor air-conditioning of the venue but other than that I was super happy with everything else rating this event a 9/10! But seriously, I think it was the freebies and merchandise that really caught my heart.
