Kidapawan City, December 14, 2024 – Trust and accountability are essential to building strong financial systems.

Central Mindanao Colleges (CMC), through the efforts of the third-year Credit and Collection class of the College of Accountancy and Business Management Education, recently hosted “Pagkat-on: Building Trust and Accountability,” a seminar aimed at equipping students with practical knowledge and skills in credit management policies.

Expert speakers Rosalie Namia Josue of Sta. Catalina Credit Cooperative and Alvin Martin, Assistant Manager of BDO, led engaging discussions on credit policy creation, ethical debt collection, risk management, and promoting sustainable financial growth.

Anchored in UN Sustainable Development Goal 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), Pagkat-on emphasized the importance of inclusive financial practices and ethical decision-making in driving economic progress. Ms. Josue highlighted how cooperatives promote equitable access to credit, strengthening local economies, while Mr. Martin explored innovative banking strategies that ensure trust, accountability, and compliance. The seminar bridged theory with practice, providing students with actionable insights to effectively address the complexities of the financial sector.

“‘Pagkat-on’ reflects our mission to empower students with knowledge and integrity, preparing them to lead in a dynamic global economy,” said Dr. Maria Regina E. Carlos, Dean of the College of Accountancy and Business Management Education.

This initiative, led by the third-year Credit and Collection class, demonstrates CMC’s commitment to student success, holistic education, and producing globally competent professionals who can contribute meaningfully to sustainable economic growth.
