The Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has stepped up its investor protection and financial literacy efforts by joining the Financial Sector Forum’s (FSF) relaunched Protect Your Money (PYM) Campaign, refocusing the initiative on digital platforms to help Filipinos avoid financial fraud. The FSF, comprising the SEC, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), Insurance Commission (IC) and Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation (PDIC), relaunched the campaign on June 17 amid a rise in online scams, fraudulent investment schemes and other digital financial threats targeting students, overseas Filipino workers, senior citizens and informal workers. The SEC plans to produce reels, short-form videos and targeted campaigns, and indicated it will continue to push for enactment of the Capital Market Development Act to institutionalize financial literacy through the education system, alongside ongoing activities such as Investor Protection Week and partnerships under the SEC Communication, Advocacy, and Network (SEC CAN!) initiative.
