Student success is
strengthened when classroom concepts are connected with the institutions,
systems, and professionals that shape the country’s financial landscape.
On August 19, 2026,
Central Mindanao Colleges formally sent off FIN 102 – Monetary Policy and
Central Banking students for Behind the Peso: A CABME Educational Tour, on
August 20, 2026, at the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas in Davao City.
The educational visit
was designed to complement classroom instruction by giving students firsthand
exposure to the operations, functions, and policy responsibilities of the
country’s central bank. Through engagement with BSP professionals and learning
sessions, students were expected to deepen their understanding of monetary
policy, financial stability, banking regulation, financial inclusion, digital
innovation, and the BSP’s role in supporting sustainable economic growth.
The send-off was
joined by Dir. Erolle Linus T. Miranda, Director of the Institute for Support
Services, and Ms. Trisha Karl J. Rellon, Center for Student Success Officer,
with the support of Dr. John Rowuel Palabrica, Dean of the College of
Accountancy and Business Management Education, reflecting CMC’s shared
commitment to preparing students for learning experiences beyond the classroom.
More than an
educational tour, it provides students with opportunities to strengthen
critical thinking, communication, leadership, and professional readiness while
gaining a clearer understanding of how monetary policy and central banking
influence businesses, communities, and the wider economy.
The activity also
supports the preparation of future financial management professionals by
connecting academic knowledge with actual institutional practice, helping
students become more competent, ethical, and socially responsible in their
future careers.
The initiative
advances SDG 4: Quality Education through experiential learning, SDG 8: Decent
Work and Economic Growth, through finance-related professional preparation, SDG
16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions through greater awareness of
financial governance and stability, and SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals
through engagement with a national government institution.
At CMC, student
success means helping learners move beyond textbooks and experience how
knowledge works in the real world. Through the CABME Educational Tour, FIN 102
students are given the opportunity to see monetary policy not simply as a
classroom concept, but as a force that shapes the economy and everyday life.
One Family.
One Pride. One ROAR.
Greatness doesn’t start with a step. It starts with a ROAR.
