Kapamilya actress Sharlene San Pedro makes her TV comeback, this time, returning in an educational show catered to teach the importance of financial literacy to students in Knowledge Channel's long-time running financial series, "EstudyanTIPID."  

In collaboration with the BPI Foundation, Knowledge Channel has launched the latest installment of 'EstudyanTIPID,' featuring three new episodes. The episodes aim to equip high school students with financial literacy and security, entrepreneurship, and basic economic concepts through the relatable day-to-day experiences of Marla (Sharlene). Also co-starring in the financial education series is renowned host and writer Stanley Chi. 

Sharlene San Pedro, who plays Marla in the series, invited students who are interested in learning more about financial literacy to watch Estudyantipid. “Kung estudyante ka na naghahanap ng tipid tips at gustong matuto sa pera, para sayo ‘to! Abangan niyo ang Estudyantipid dito sa Knowledge Channel,” said Sharlene. 

The financial topics discussed in the show are aligned with the Department of Education’s curriculum on Araling Panlipunan for Grade 9 students. 

Knowledge Channel Foundation Inc. (KCFI) president Rina Lopez expressed her delight in their new collaborative effort with BPI Foundation—further emphasizing the need to educate the youth with essential financial literacy skills, including budgeting, saving, making informed financial decisions, and protecting themselves from financial pitfalls.  

"We are pleased to partner with BPI Foundation and other educational stakeholders. Together, we are taking steps toward building a more financially literate Philippines—one where young people are equipped to make wise financial choices, secure their futures, and contribute to the prosperity of our nation," Rina addressed. 

“Gaining insights on the importance of saving and budgeting at an early stage is crucial to have a strong foundation in financial literacy. EstudyanTIPID is consistent with our commitment to ‘Kasama Lahat sa Pag-Unlad,’ and our vision of helping build a better Philippines—one family, one community at a time,” said Carmina Marquez, BPIF Executive Director. “Together with our partners from Knowledge Channel, we are equipping the next generation with the skills they need to make informed financial decisions, fostering a culture of saving, and promoting sustainable growth for all Filipinos.” 

Before its premiere on September 16 (Monday), Knowledge Channel and the BPI Foundation introduced "EstudyanTIPID" to the students of Ernesto Rondon High School in Quezon City, where they also met one of its cast, Stanley. 

Viewers can catch "EstudyanTIPID" every Monday at 3:20 PM, with replays on Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday on Knowledge Channel—available on cable, direct-to-home satellite and DTT, and online through iWantTFC. It will also be available on Kapamilya Channel and A2Z.
