CEBU CITY – The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas is set to relaunch the Economic and Financial Learning Center (EFLC) in its Cebu Regional Office Thursday, with BSP Governor Amando Tetangco Jr. leading the ribbon cutting and unveiling of the EFLC signage.

The EFL-Cebu relaunch is in line with the BSP’s master plan to set up EFLCs in the BSP’s regional offices and branches, following the inauguration of the EFLC Manila branch last October 2008 and the re-launch of the EFLCs in the Davao and La Union regional offices earlier this year.

The operation of these EFLCs, which are one-stop centers where researchers, students, and visitors can access data and information produced and monitored by BSP in the areas of central banking, economics, and finance, symbolizes the BSP’s commitment to institutionalize and sustain a comprehensive financial education program for all Filipinos.

Already in operation since 2007, the EFLC-Cebu has expanded its scope and services by upgrading its facilities and linking it with the EFLC network to ensure that all electronic resources of EFLC-Manila are also available to visitors here in Cebu.

The relaunch of the EFLC here ensures the delivery of economic and financial learning to Cebuanos not only through more conventional media like books and periodicals, but also through technology-based interactive learning modules, informative video clips and even educational computer games.

Researchers will also be able to browse the EFLC digitized collection, as well as the EFLC statistical database to gain information on economic issues that are of interest to them.
