The participants were informed about Ambisyon Natin 2040, the CALABARZON Regional Development Plan 2017-2022Sustainable Consumption and Production Framework and Action Plan, Sustainable Consumption and Production Framework and Action Plan by NEDA Region IV-A, Dir.

The said Forum satisfied Section 3 of  Republic Act No. 1092, an act declaring the second week of November as Economic and Financial Literacy Week which mandates the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) to spearhead and ensure the observance of the Economic and Financial Literacy Week. Relatively, Section 4 states that all DepED public and private elementary and secondary schools, CHED state and private colleges and universities, and the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) are mandated to conduct consciousness—raising and knowledge—expanding   activities on economic and financial literacy to improve the  economic and financial literacy of students and the youth in general (N.
