MANILA, Philippines – According to latest figures, almost half of the Philippines’ employed population are millennials. Their collective spending power is shaping the direction of our economy – so it’s no surprise that advertisers and big brands want to reach out to them.

But when it comes to personal expenses, savings, and investments, how do millennials stack up? Are they doing better or worse than the older generation?

On Tuesday, October 11, Rappler’s business journalist Chris Schnabel will interview Vince Rapisura, founder and CEO of Social Enterprise Development Partnerships Inc (SEDPI). They will discuss millennials’ outlook on finances, what challenges they face on investing and saving, as well as tips and advice on how this generation can set aside enough for the future.

Watch the interview live on Tuesaday, 2 pm via this page and on Rappler’s Facebook page. Send in your questions using the hashtag #MillennialPH. – Rappler.com
