Philippines' DICT SPARK Launches Free Blockchain Certification for Jobseekers and OFWs

  • —The 20-day curriculum pairs 10 days of virtual lectures with a 10-day practical campaign and capstone
  • —Kalinga graduated 28 participants; Capiz graduated 25 with a 100% completion rate
  • —17 Kalinga medalists earned a combined ₱76,340.49 in remote freelance income
  • —One capstone built a blockchain IP registry and royalty system for indigenous handicrafts
Why it matters: A government-led skills push could widen the Philippines' blockchain talent pool beyond Metro Manila and support Web3 freelancing.
