The format we had was very interesting. Each of us had to share trending news items and we were given the opportunity to talk about them casually. Celeste was dared to sing the news and Luis was brave enough to relay the news item in a challenging way, which we give kudos for them both for not backing out of the dare given by RJ, Nas Company (formerly Nas Academy) community manager for Metaversity.

We have shared the news about Binance trying to reach out to the government and assisting the Department of Information and Communication Technology (DICT) in terms of cybersecurity and educating the law enforcement about blockchain technology. Luis was generous enough to give his thoughts on the issue and also informed the community of the possible occurrences if ever Binance will get regulated. First, it has to operate under a different name, like in the US, it will be under Binance US. Second, some of the features Binance users currently enjoying now, specifically Futures, will be removed and most of the cryptocurrencies listed would be removed once it will be regulated. In effect, users will have a limited opportunity to trade and own cryptocurrencies.

If our memory serves us right, Andrew had a great conversation with Luis in regards to what the US Federal Reserve is doing to resolve the Dollar inflation and shared some historical facts that could possibly happen to the US economy as part of a financial cycle.

Aside from Metaversity, Filipino Web3 Community Builders has started to build their structure and has onboarded seven individuals who are willing to volunteer as core members of the organization. Siftcroix, Lupin IV and I had to do separate Discovery Calls for each candidate and after two weeks of deliberation, we have officially onboarded them to the team. Though for now, we cannot reveal their identities because we would like to see what they can contribute to the growth of the organization composed of community builders - Community Managers, Moderators, Discord Engineers, Marketers, Shillers, Copywriters and other professionals that can contribute to web3 projects.

Surprisingly, other web3 organizations are starting to partner with Filipino Web3 Community Builders. Though we haven’t done much, Web3 Philippines, co-founded by Warren and Kristian, extended their interest to help out the community. Though we have not started the talks yet because of our status, we are looking forward to this partnership.

Just yesterday, we received an email for us to be one of the Community Partners for Philippine Blockchain Week 2022 and we have sent our response that we are interested in being part of the event. This event will be held at the Newport World Resorts Manila from November 28 to December 4.

A few days back, one of our colleagues in web3 space messaged us if we are available on a specific date this November to be a resource person. We were asked to talk about non-fungible tokens or NFTs. It is still in the talks with the local government, so stay tuned for further announcements.

A door was shut but God has opened more.
