Saving money isn’t always easy—especially when bills, food, and family needs come first. But Cebuana Lhuillier Bank (CLB) wants to remind us that every ipon, no matter how small, can create a big change.
This World Savings Day 2025, Cebuana Lhuillier Bank celebrates with the inspiring nationwide campaign “Ipon Moves this IPON MOnth”—a joyful reminder that it’s never too late to start saving for your dreams. The goal? To empower Filipinos to make saving a habit, one peso at a time.
The Power of Cebuana Lhuillier Bank Ipon Moves
Through the Cebuana Lhuillier Micro Savings account, clients can save easily and securely—without the long lines or strict requirements of traditional banks. Regulated by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) and insured by PDIC (up to ₱1,000,000 per depositor), CLB makes it simple for everyone to start their financial journey safely.
“Our goal has always been to make financial services accessible to every Filipino,” said Jean Henri Lhuillier, President and CEO of Cebuana Lhuillier. “Through Micro Savings and initiatives like Ipon Moves, we aim to nurture a culture of saving that empowers families to achieve their goals and improve their quality of life.”
Inspiring Filipino Stories of Hope and Perseverance
To celebrate the campaign, Cebuana Lhuillier Bank went on a heartwarming roadshow across the country. At every stop, they set up a “Wish IPON a Dream Wall” where clients shared their dreams, motivations, and the stories behind their ipon.
Each note reflected hope, love, and determination—proof that saving is not just about money, but about building a better future for loved ones.
✨ Rossini from Las Piñas: A Mother’s Ipon of Love
For 63-year-old Rossini Abriola, saving has always been an act of love. Her dream is simple—to see her son graduate. Despite limited means, she saves a little each week for his allowance and hopes to buy him a laptop soon.
“Ang pag-iipon ang nagturo sa’kin ng tiyaga at pananampalataya,” she shared. “Bawat pisong naiipon ko, para sa kanya talaga.”
💪 Arnel from Laguna: Turning Challenges into Ipon Power
Arnel Peralta, a 52-year-old single dad and person with disability, saves faithfully through his Micro Savings account. His dream? To open a small sari-sari store for his children’s future.
“Hindi madali mag-ipon lalo na kapag araw-araw may kailangang gastusan,” Arnel said. “Pero basta tuloy-tuloy, makakarating din sa pangarap.”
🚴♀️ Rizchel from Cebu: Small Savings, Big Rewards
Single mom Rizchel Canillo drives an e-bike to support her four kids. She started saving ₱50 a day until she finally bought a new e-bike battery—one less thing to rent, and one more reason to keep going.
“Patuloy pa rin akong nag-iipon kahit natupad na ang isa sa mga pangarap ko,” she said proudly.
💕 Robilyn from Cagayan de Oro: Ipon for Gratitude
Maria Robilyn Sabanto, 26, saves not just for herself but for her father. As the family breadwinner, she dreams of gifting him a mountain bike—her way of saying thank you for his years of love and sacrifice.
“Ang pag-iipon para sa akin ay tungkol sa pagmamahal at responsibilidad,” she shared.
Dreams Granted, Hearts Full
To honor their inspiring stories, Cebuana Lhuillier Bank surprised these savers by granting the very dreams they wrote on the Wish IPON a Dream Wall:
💻 Rossini received a laptop for her son’s studies
🛒 Arnel got grocery packages to help start his small store
🔋 Rizchel was given a brand-new e-bike battery

Each story shows that every Ipon Move — no matter how small — has the power to change lives.
