Rep. Agatha Paula “Agay” Aguilar Cruz has filed House Bill 4935, seeking a blockchain-based national budget system to boost transparency, accountability, and public participation in government spending.
The National Privacy Commission initially cautioned Filipinos against iris scanning for cryptocurrency, stating it does not authorize such data collection.
This is a confirmation that Worldcoin verification in the Philippines will continue for the foreseeable future.
Following the reports on the ongoing iris-scanning activities of Worldcoin in Bulacan, the Tools for Humanity, the developer behind the World app, issued its first statement regarding the initiative in the province.
Thousands in Bulacan are lining up to exchange their iris scans for a Worldcoin airdrop. But is your biometric data really worth just ₱2,500 to ₱5,000?
The statement clears up confusion about Web3 Bulacan’s role in the controversial Worldcoin initiative, which has raised privacy concerns globally due to its reliance on biometric data collection.
