Ambassador #1 for PH @riseinweb3 for @PHI_stellar

[Stellar Philippines @PHI_Stellar]

Meet Melfred Bernabe, one of our @StellarOrg Journey to Mastery Monthly Builder Program Winners! 🎉

Building Bankero taught Melfred that creating real products is about more than writing code. It's about understanding problems, learning from every challenge, and building solutions people can trust.

For him, this recognition validates Bankero's mission of helping unbanked Filipinos build a financial identity through Stellar, and inspires him to keep improving the project beyond the hackathon.

Congratulations, Melfred! We're excited to see where your builder journey takes you next. 🚀

@riseinweb3 @BuildOnStellar From the opening slide to the final Q&A, our builders stayed composed, confident, and focused while presenting to an international panel of judges.

[Stellar Philippines @PHI_Stellar]

The best part wasn't just the awards. It was seeing Filipino builders confidently share ideas, answer tough questions, and represent the country on the regional stage. 🇵🇭

A look back at the APAC Stellar Grand Finale. 🇵🇭

Calm under pressure. Composed on stage. Confident in every pitch.

Our Top 10 Philippine finalists represented the country with professionalism, technical depth, and real-world solutions built on @StellarOrg.

Five projects brought home awards, but every team showed what Filipino builders are capable of.

Proud of every one of you. 🇵🇭🚀

Meet Nicole Andrea G. Bolus, one of our @StellarOrg Journey to Mastery Monthly Builder Program Winners! 🎉

As a solo builder, Nicole built SariPay, a real-world blockchain solution on Stellar. Through the journey, she strengthened her technical skills, gained confidence as a developer, and discovered a passion for building technology that solves real-world problems.

"Being selected as a Monthly Builder Program Winner validates the hard work I've put into building SariPay independently and motivates me to keep learning and creating solutions that make a real impact."

Congratulations, Nicole! 🚀

Meet Renz Jericho Buday, one of our @StellarOrg Journey to Mastery Monthly Builder Challenge winners! 🌟

From thinking blockchain development was too difficult to successfully building and completing his own project, Renz's journey is a reminder that every great builder starts somewhere.

His story shows that with persistence, the right guidance, and a willingness to learn, anyone can turn an idea into reality.

Congratulations, Renz! We can't wait to see what you build next. 🚀

Meet our Philippines finalists. 🇵🇭

Tomorrow, these 10 teams will represent the Philippines on the final and biggest stage of the Stellar APAC Hackathon Grand Finale. Here's a look at what they've built:

@stellarcelerity: A programmable disaster-disbursement rail on Stellar. When a verified typhoon signal fires, funds are released automatically to pre-registered farmers and cashed out to PHP, with every movement logged on-chain.
@supportpijin: Universal Web3 liquidity powered by cellular networks, bringing digital payments to rural and underserved areas that rely on basic cell towers instead of stable internet.
@paytrexure: A private treasury for Stellar payments, reconciled to fiat. It shields payments on-chain and emits one clean, accounting-ready receipt for a single payout or a full payroll run.
@RunVeloDev: Infrastructure to build and operate Stellar apps without stitching the surrounding tooling together, connecting the workflows to build, verify, observe, pay, and settle.
@OrizonAgents402: A decentralized orchestration layer where AI agents autonomously hire, pay, and verify each other to execute complex work.
@UseSobre: A shared family wallet for overseas workers. Every deposit splits into the envelopes the household agreed on, the moment it arrives.
@paiflow_xyz: A no-code Stellar surface that turns programmable payments into a drag-and-drop primitive. Sketch a flow on a whiteboard, ship it as a non-custodial Soroban contract in under 90 seconds.
@pundarapp: An all-in-one decentralized financial platform on Stellar and Soroban that turns everyday spending into savings, investments, and a verifiable financial reputation.
@palengkepay: Digital payments para sa palengke. Scan, pay, done, powered by Stellar. No merchant fees, no waiting times, no headaches.
@PH_Pacta: A non-custodial Stellar wallet to hold, send, receive, and convert without giving up your keys. When a payment needs to be safe, send it as a Pact: staged, bond-backed, and provable on-chain.

Tune in to @riseinweb3 tomorrow to show your support and watch them compete. 🚀
