NEAR PH (Philippines) Monthly Report -March 2021)

Month: March 2021

Guild Name: NEAR PH (Philippines)

Monthly Highlights:

Interviews:
	l We had CHRIS VERCELES, a young blockchain entrepreneur in Manila. He is a cofounder of BlockDevs Asia, a non-profit organization that is committed to growing the Blockchain Developers community in South-east Asia. This can pave the way for us to connect further into his network of blockchain enthusiasts in the Philippines.
	l We also had FETUS SQUID, one of the bestsellers NFT artist on Paras.ai. Having him on the show can give his fans insight into the mind of this visual artist. Afterall, art collectors not only want to appreciate the creation, they also want to know the story of the creator. This paves the way for other NFT artists to be on the succeeding show episodes. 

Explainer Video:
	l A short explainer video in Tagalog conveys the esoteric-sounding concepts of crypto and boils them down into palatable, Philippine-native illustrations for the non-techy Filipinos. 

Downloadable Audio Versions of Written Articles:
	l Downloadable voice over audio contents on Youtube based on selected 4NTS's blog at https://nearguilds.com/news/ have been launched. This type of content can be downloaded and listened to by fellow billioNEArs while driving or doing some chores. That way they can still be updated on the latest news.
	
Overall:
	l As the PH team is becoming more familiar with the NEAR ecosystem, it is beginning to be self-aware. In due time, it will be able to find its greatest strengths in providing value to the ecosystem in a long-term, inclusive manner.
