Skyro launches ‘PISOlophy’ podcast aimed at improving financial literacy among Filipinos

Manila, Philippines – Digital lending platform Skyro has introduced a new podcast series, ‘PISOlophy’ (Peso-philosophy) as part of its efforts to encourage more open and accessible conversations about personal finance among Filipinos.

The podcast is hosted by Ginelle Sequitin, a financial adviser, and Ian Murillo, a content creator. Drawing on their respective social media audiences, the two present differing perspectives on money management, with Sequitin offering more seasoned financial insights and Murillo reflecting the realities faced by younger consumers.

According to Skyro, the series aims to create an approachable space for discussions around everyday financial challenges. Episodes incorporate short skits and scenarios centred on common “adulting” experiences, with the intention of making financial topics more relatable.

The first episode, titled “Sahod Day vs Day 20”, focuses on the financial habits of young Filipino professionals, particularly the challenges associated with budgeting across a monthly pay cycle and avoiding periods of financial strain, often referred to locally as petsa de peligro.

“For Filipinos, every peso counts. Through PISOlophy, we want them to approach their finances more comfortably, face them head-on, and make better financial decisions,” said Iya Lelyanova, head of marketing at Skyro. “With the right platform and information, managing finances can feel simpler and even fun.”

Moreover, Skyro said the podcast forms part of its broader push to promote financial awareness and responsible money management, alongside its core offering of digital instalment financing services.

The first episode of ‘PISOlophy’ was released on 26 March 2026 via Skyro Philippines’ official Facebook and YouTube channels.
