For this special edition of the BitPinas Webcast, we are ditching the standard panel discussion. Instead, we are hosting a Head-to-Head Debate between the two most prominent voices in Philippine GovTech.
They represent two fundamentally different philosophies for our digital future. On February 4, they share one stage to settle the argument once and for all.
Guests:
- Paul Soliman (Bayanichain)
- Jason Torres (BetterGov)
Joining the webcast as moderator is Luis Buenaventura, the newly elected president of the Blockchain Council of the Philippines.
We will have three rounds of discussion:
- Vendor Access
- Infrastructure
- Cadena Act
There will also be an opportunity for the audience to answer questions.
