HISTORY OF MANILA TEACHERS’SAVINGS AND LOAN ASSOCIATION
The Manila Teachers’ Savings and Loan Association is a non-stock savings and loan association registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). It is supervised by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas.
It traces its roots from the humble “paluwagan”, an informal savings system that people organize to generate forced savings among members and enable them to draw from their own resources on which to fall back on in times of emergency.
Under this system, the members choose a treasurer among them. The treasurer collects an agree-upon amount from each member at an agreed-amount regularity. The collective savings of all members is handed over to one member at a time on scheduled dates until all members has received one collection each in a round ribbon fashion. After each member has received one collection, the process is repeated, and so on and so forth.
The Manila Teachers’ Savings and Loan Association was originally one such organization, a teachers’ paluwagan. It was founded by a group of teachers from the Rizal Avenue High School in the late 1950s.
Among them was Mr. Prudencio S. Lacson. He was designated as the paluwagan treasurer. The paluwagan continued to flourish until April 1960, when he retired from teaching.
