The sheer passion for Web3 in the Filipino community truly shines through. Since the Web3 mania that changed the lives of many swept through the country in 2021, it’s clear that our Filipino friends are at the forefront of the Web3 transformation. Today, the Philippines rank 2nd in the Global Crypto Adoption Index, boasting of an incredible 15% crypto penetration rate.
Featuring prominent names like Yat Siu (Animoca Brands), Gabby Dixon (YGG), Jeffrey Zirlin (Sky Mavis), and John Verlin Santos (Titik Poetry), the Philippine Web3 Festival promises to showcase the future of Web3 in front of the world’s most engaged audience.

Of course, what’s an Asian Web3 festival without the Tezos ecosystem?
The Philippines has always demonstrated artistic excellence and strong community spirit on the Tezos chain. Talented Filipino artists like Bjorn Calleja (featured at Art Basel HK), loopymoon (featured at AMJ 2022), and Jakestudyos (featured at Crypto Art Week Asia) have served as inspiration for artists worldwide. The vibrant Tezos communities in the Philippines have also organized heartwarming campaigns to support each other. It should come as no surprise that TZ APAC will present a number of compelling activities at the Philippine Web3 Festival.
Filipino artistry has always been shining brightly on the Tezos chain. At this talk hosted by TZ APAC’s Ivan Larin, three seasoned Tezos artists will share about their experiences in Web3, challenges, and the inspiration behind their work.
Bjorn Calleja, painter and interdisciplinary artist, is a true inspiration for the Philippines NFT art community - his work has been featured at major exhibitions like Art Fair Philippines and Art Basel Hong Kong. Inspired by life, his vibrant work explores the trinity of identities, and the concept of man versus environment.
Jopet Arias, describes himself as a “forerunner, digital nomad, and visual artist”. As a painter who traverses both material mediums and the metaverse, his work intercepts reality with the metaphysical, spiritual and Divine. He uses different technologies to alter the audience experience, and to explore various aspects of his story.
Sheila Ledesma, is a graphic artist whose work is rooted in play. With collages as her primary source of creative expression, she pieces together fragments of ideas to form fresh perspectives. Sheila digs into the intersection of collage and abstract expressionism to create a representation of her inner world.
As an artist, entering the new world of Web3 may be daunting. While the Filipino Tezos communities are dedicated to helping up newer artists, there’s no better place to hear about the space at this main stage, where interdisciplinary artist John Verlin Santos will be speaking.
