To mark a new milestone in its advocacy of empowering Filipinos through financial literacy, SmarTrade celebrated its 8th anniversary with a company event held recently at the Sheraton Manila Hotel in Newport World Resorts.
This year’s anniversary theme, “SmarTrade Cultiv8: Celebrating Eight Years of Growth, Purpose, Partnerships, and Empowerment,” set the tone for a heartfelt and meaningful gathering. The event featured earthy, mossy, and nature-inspired elements, symbolic of SmarTrade’s continued commitment to nurturing growth within its learners and partners.
Throughout the evening, employees gathered to reflect on SmarTrade’s journey—a journey strengthened by lasting partnerships, heartfelt stories of transformation, and the enduring dedication of its team. The anniversary served as a reminder that the brand’s impact goes beyond financial education; it is about empowering individuals to believe in their potential, to make informed choices, and to shape a more secure future for themselves and their families.
The event also honored long-service awardees, recognizing employees’ dedication and contributions to the company’s growth. President & CEO Joyce Mayo, whose leadership has shaped SmarTrade’s culture of care, education, and empowerment, shared in her message, “Eight years ago, we planted a simple seed: a vision to make financial literacy accessible to every Filipino. Today, that seed has grown into a thriving community built on trust, learning, and shared purpose. We are grateful to everyone who continues this journey with us. Our commitment remains the same: to uplift lives and open doors to opportunities through education.”
