In a groundbreaking initiative to propel the nation into the digital forefront, Web3PH, in collaboration with the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) and ICP.hub Philippines, hosted Panimula, an exclusive gathering for key technology figures from both the public and private sectors.
Held last January 26, 2024, the gathering witnessed the participation of eminent figures representing government bodies, private enterprises, and leading community organizations. Beyond discourse, it served as a strategic arena for these stakeholders to explore potential partnerships, laying the groundwork for sustained growth in the technology sector.
“As we stand at this crossroads, the possibilities are boundless. The enthusiasm of everyone present today reflects the incredible potential that these technologies hold—power to reshape industries, economies, and most importantly, the lives of fellow Filipinos,” said Director Emmy Lou Delfin (Director IV, ICT Industry Development Bureau, DICT).
The collaboration between Web3PH, DICT, and ICP.Hub Philippines for the gathering underscored the significance of unified efforts in driving innovation and cultivating a thriving tech ecosystem for all.

Bea Llana, expressing the significance of this initiative, remarked, “By bringing together government, private enterprises, and community organizations, we create a space for all these separated bodies to connect and have meaningful discussions–all for the single goal of taking coordinated steps to web3 adoption.”
Adding to this sentiment, Justin Wee stated, “Being for the community, it is only necessary that these events are powered by the community itself. We want to involve everyone in the planning and execution of these events to ensure that the initiatives are aligned with the needs and aspirations of those we inevitably serve”.
The unveiled calendar comprises a series of events strategically designed to engage various stakeholders–builders, creatives, and normies, among others.
