I arrived at the Ortigas Library shortly at around 7:45 am. I thought that the seminar will be at around 8:00am . I was later notified by the security guard on duty that the seminar schedule was at 9:00am . Never-least , avoided the early morning rush hour and squeezing with a lot of people at the MRT station.
I was greeted by Mr. Shyan Lim who arrived shortly after 8:30 am . He is very warm and friendly person. He is from Singapore and now living in the Philippines for almost 5 years. He used to work for a multinational financial company but decided to have his own business and trains people for financial literacy .

Then a short game was ” WIN as Much as You Can ” was played by the participants forming group A ( X) and group B ( O) .
