“With the emergence of Web3 Gaming, thousands of guilds surfaced in the Philippines. Guilds are what we believe to be the next digitally native businesses of Web3 and the communities that will drive Web3 adoption. BlockchainSpace (BSPC) itself focuses on building guild infrastructure and tooling for Asset Management, Wallet Technology, Identity and Reputation Systems to legitimize and professionalize these guilds,” said Peter Ing, CEO and Founder of BSPC, the leading data aggregator and tooling provider for Web3 Guilds.

Gabby Dizon, Co-Founder of the Filipino-led gaming guild Yield Guild Games (YGG) said that “the Philippines can impart significant contributions in web3 innovation as a key player in the space. With measures to bolster the Web3 community and innovations within the industry, we will witness more opportunities that will impact not only organizations but also the lives of every Filipino.”

Nix Eniego, the Philippines Lead of Sky Mavis, the development team behind Axie Infinity, attests to the Philippines as the birthplace of Web3 gaming and its potential to be a major player in Web3 gaming and innovation. BSPC Guild Hub General Manager Jen Bilango agrees with the earlier statement and says that the popularity of Web3 gaming presents promising entrepreneurial opportunities in developing countries, which can be seen in the rise of guilds in the Philippines.

Luis Buenaventura, YGG Pilipinas Country Manager, claims that the massive growth in local Web3 gaming adoption to guilds like YGG, RDG, and MVP, provided financial stability for Filipinos and career opportunities. 

Gamer and Independent council member of Axie Een Mercado stressed that with the rise of Web3, there are new and creative income opportunities that can lean onto various interests such as gaming, content creation, and the arts.

Several established companies have also ventured into Web3. This includes Globe and UBX which are leveraging the potential of Web3 to uplift Filipino lives and help Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) traverse the Metaverse. 

Interested parties can explore Web3 thru MetaverseGo. It tags itself as the premier gateway into the metaverse. MetaverseGo CEO Ash Mandhyan shared that the community has various initiatives and services to help Filipinos navigate the metaverse. These include capacity-building, educational efforts, networking, and support in connecting them to proper channels and Web3 entities depending on what they are looking for.

Lastly, Binance Spokesperson Kenneth Stern is optimistic that efforts to drive Web3 adoption in the country will make the Philippines even more of an attractive investment destination for foreign companies that will help boost the country’s economy. In the first quarter of this year alone, the country attracted over USD2.44 billion of foreign direct investment.
