 I. Executive Summary

Epunla Co. was founded with the intention of providing a financial education program, but after being inspired
by Juan Bag Ph, we developed a program that will recycle plastic garbage into a valuable product in exchange for
teaching financial literacy which we called Basya Campaign or Basura para sa Literasiya Campaign.

Our main target was indeed the youth of Lagunense, but owing to a lack of resources and feasibility, we opted
to start with the out-of-school youth in Cabuyao, with the goal of catering to all of Cabuyao's youth by the end of
the year.

Salitan, Epunla, and Pag-gawa are the three activities that will take place during the Basya Campaign. Epunla
Co. anticipates that it will improve the youth's plastic waste management as well as their knowledge and skills in
day-to-day money management and financial planning.

For successfully carrying out and achieving the entirety of the project’s vision and mission Epunla Co. needed
a capital approximate to 19,546 pesos, which would be required as the primary source of information e of the
project's initiation phase. However, accomplishing the project does not just need monetary resources; we would
need the help of other groups such as YDA, CCLDO, etc.

II. Purpose

Next to playing video games, online shopping is one of the most popular online pastimes among Filipinos,
with 26 and 52 percent of online consumers in 2018 being between the ages of 18 to 24 and 25 to 34, respectively.
According to the report, Filipinos used around 212 million sachets and shopping bags per day, reflecting the
country's reliance on single-use plastics.
However, “we may believe that we, as consumers, are the ultimate recipients of these single-use plastics, but it
is [nature] that bears the brunt of this waste” (Calugay of JuanBag PH).
Hence, the Philippines has been viewed as a major contributor to the worldwide plastic waste problem.
Additionally, wearing a face shield is one of the health practices in the Philippines to prevent COVID-19, which
also increases the amount of plastic waste.
In light of this, we were inspired by Calugay of JuanBag PH to create
an organization namely Epunla Co. that is dedicated to practicing mindful
consumption through a program that will collect plastic waste and turn it
into something useful and profitable.
But it is not just the plastic problem that we're dealing with. Another
issue, according to Governor Benjamin E. Diokno, is that many Filipinos
are facing "apparent financial insecurity" as a result of a lack of financial
literacy, making it difficult for them to cope amid a "once-in-a-lifetime
pandemic" (Business World, 2020). According to the survey, despite their
forward-thinking perspectives, Filipinos performed negatively in daily
money management as well as short and long-term financial planning.
This type of behavior has the potential to become compulsive, leading to serious addiction. Someone may face
financial difficulties or overspend. We are currently submerged in more material than we have been in the past.
Purchasing has evolved from a means of survival to a source of enjoyment, to the point that it has become a
harmful habit. Consumption and waste, to put it another way, are on the rise.
2
 As a result, Epunla Co. created a
program named BASYA Campaign,
with the phrase “Basura para sa
Literasiya,” since we are not only
aiming to improve plastic waste
management, but also to encourage
every Lagunense youngster to
understand their financial priorities and
calculate financial risk in the future
through financial literacy education,
which will help them acquire financial
skills, make informed decisions, and
at the very least provide them with
something profitable.

Since we feel that any advancements in financial literacy can have a big impact on our economy by ensuring
financial stability and can motivate all Filipinos, we believe that a financial investing education program can be
designed and strengthened. It may not be easy, but it has the potential to drastically reduce the responsibilities of all
Filipinos (Spotted Ph Team, 2018).

III. Target Beneficiaries

This project will be targeting youth ages 15- to 24-year-old. But to make it possible and realistic, the initial
phase will be student from Pamantasan ng Cabuyao, and Out-Of-School Youth here in the City of Cabuyao,
afterwards will be the other sector of youth such as students by the end of this year.

Educating youth about finances through this program may encourage them to be more responsible and
knowledgeable about financial decisions as they grow older. A World Bank study titled, “Enhancing Financial
Capability in the Philippines,” shows that saving habits and preferences formed during childhood stay into
adulthood, and the regular use of a broad range of media has effects on how they make financial decisions.
Moreover, the “Salitan” incentives or every trash that they provide will be exchanged for cash that serve as
allowance for the participants.

And because one of the aims of this project is to lessen the garbage pollution in our province, the progress of
this project will not just only benefit the youth but all of us in our own community.

IV. Stakeholders and Partners

The program's implementation will be impossible without the prospective organization mentioned below.
For the collecting and manufacturing of plastic waste, we would obtain approval from the LGU of Cabuyao
City and Pamantasan ng Cabuyao first, ensuring that safety measures are followed. The Cabuyao Youth
Development Affairs (CYDA) for concentrating the youth's entrepreneurial spirit.

3
 Next, we're looking at forming a partnership with City Cooperative and Livelihood Development Office
(CCLDO) that will be in charge of transforming our collected single-use plastic trash into new and beneficial items
that can be sold in the market.
Finally, the JFINEX, JCFAP, NSTP and other organizations that will support the program by sharing their
experience and knowledge in order to achieve the program's aim of ensuring that the beneficiary is literate.
Furthermore, Epunla Co. is open to potential partnerships and collaboration with other organizations that have
a common purpose.

V. Specific Activities and timeline

2. EPunla

Confirmed participants go through to an Epunla (financial literacy program) that begins with Binhi
(fundamentals of financial planning) and progresses to SIBOL (investments) before reaching the final stage, ANI
(training), which will also determine the participants' risk tolerance and appropriate investment types.

 As participants move through the process, their understanding of basic financial skills will widen as Epunla
add to and improve their understanding on the topic, much like the seed until the harvesting cycle of the plantation.
The implementation will take place via Zoom meetings from September to December.

3. Paggawa

Paggawa

The process of stool was from a Korean student, wherein he recycles the used mask into a stool. In Basya
Campaign instead of the mask, any plastic waste will be utilized such as online shopping bags and face shield.

 VI. Expected results

Plastics are low-cost, flexible, and long-lasting materials that can be molded into a wide range of items. As an
outcome, the production of plastics has increased substantially. Their current levels of consumption and waste,
however, create a variety of environmental concerns.
And the solution is recycling, which allows us to reduce oil use, energy consumption, and the amount of
rubbish that needs to be disposed of. These are in line with the project's expected outcomes, which are listed below:

• Educates every resident in the community on how to be disciplined, creative and resourceful individuals in
order to create a safe and friendly atmosphere for everybody that will increase awareness of proper waste
management.
• It will enhance our community, specifically the youth’s financial literacy by knowing what they must know
about it, especially the dos and don’ts of it as well as the benefits of a strong understanding in financial literacy.
• It will definitely reduce pollution throughout our society.
• Give enjoyment and happiness to everyone.
• Contribute to the success of our town and its residents.
