From November 28 to December 4, 2022, the Philippine Blockchain Week could soon be welcoming international and local thought leaders from the digital and blockchain industries at the Newport World Resorts in Manila.
With a population of 110 million people with a median age of 25, and the highest internet and NFT penetration rate of a digital population, the Philippines is now considered to be at the intersection of innovation, early adoption, and job creation for the global digital sector.
The Philippine Blockchain Week was created by a group of the country’s cutting-edge thought leaders from web2 and web3 to facilitate this education, opportunity, and growth in the Philippines.
Spearheaded by Donald Lim, considered as the Father of Digital Marketing in the Philippines, and Chezka Gonzales, a pilot and Founder of Women of Substance NFT, the two have assembled an all-star team of partner organizations.

“The Philippine Blockchain Week has two main goals: to fortify Filipinos with cutting-edge skills and knowledge to be competitive on a global scale in industries of the future; and to showcase the Philippines as the ‘Blockchain Capital of Asia,'” shared Donald Lim, the event’s producer, in a press statement.
