The Letran Junior Financial Executives invited Rock To Riches’ Carissa Patag last October 9 to speak to their members in a seminar focused on Financial Modeling.
The seminar was held at the Quezon Hall of the Colegio de San Juan de Letran in Intramuros, Manila and was attended by the school’s financial management students. The seminar kicked off with an opening prayer by Nicole Estacio and an opening remarks by Joshua Gonzaga, the organization’s VP for External Affairs. It was graciously hosted by their PR Officer Joan Sanchez.
Carissa’s talk on Introduction to Financial Modelling emphasized that as students they are actually already applying financial modeling by simply handling their money and valuing their assets.
Carissa interestingly explained the meaning of financial modelling and its other factors by showing some graphs and engaged the Letranites in analyzing and answering some challenge questions.
Another invited speaker was Nelson S. Abeleda, a CPA who became a professor in Letran. He is also an author of an Accounting book.
Nelson talked about Career Development and he gave the students some advice on how to be successful in the future. He encourage the students to become entrepreneurial and to not depend solely on the salary that they will receive in the future.
The seminar ended with a closing remarks was made by Shaine Bautista, their VP for Internal Affairs.
