For Filipinos, the question is always, “nag-iipon ka ba?” But this time around, Metrobank wants to ask a more important question: “Para saan ang ipon mo?”

To inspire Filipinos to reach their savings goals, Metrobank sent out ambassadors to lifestyle and business hubs around Metro Manila. The ambassadors were spotted wearing eye-catching statement shirts, oversized tote bags, newspapers, and even cookies with relatable reasons to save – like becoming an independent girlie, retiring early, or spoiling their moms.
The statement pieces all led to a Metrobank survey, which revealed findings on what motivates Filipinos to save. Among people’s goals were to save up for barkada trips, build an emergency fund, or launch a small online business. Adding to the hype, social media users also posted pictures of the Metrobank ambassadors, while also chiming in with their own ipon goals.

Whatever your goal may be, the journey towards achieving each one starts with building a good strategy to save.
