In today's episode, I will be having William Cabangon, CEO of AAA Equities, a retail stock brokerage firm in the Philippines. He was previously in the Sales & Trading division of Deutsche Bank covering foreign exchange derivatives in London and NYC. My conversation with him encompasses a lot of topics including the macroeconomics of PH, financial literacy, personal finance, investing and more. I am personally excited to share this episode as I am confident listeners will learn more than a thing or two as I did myself. Enjoy.
