taught the best way to save and safeguard their money. Although saving is now taught in
schools and various conferences, policymakers need to look into teaching people the possibility
of saving more by paying down existing debt. In the Philippines, the current administration has
been taking small steps to pin down the problem on debts and encourage saving more by
offering lower loan rates to micro and small business enterprises (Business Mirror, 2022d).
