I built Dawat because I couldn’t find reliable Grab services while traveling to the provinces of the Cordillera Administrative Region. We will first test and launch the platform across Ifugao, where many of our fellow mountain communities run businesses but still lack access to faster innovation and wider markets. Once the model is validated, we plan to expand into neighboring provinces.
What Does “Dawat” Mean?
Many people ask us: What does Dawat mean, and where did the name come from?
Dawat is a word deeply rooted in the languages of the Cordilleras and the Philippines. In Ifugao, it carries two connected meanings:
To receive or accept.
To give, offer, or present.
It represents both sides of an exchange, the person who gives and the person who receives. In today’s world, that same idea can mean to buy and to sell, to request and to provide, to seek an opportunity and to offer one.
That is why we chose the name https://t.co/IhadLU6INT.
https://t.co/IhadLU6INT was born in Ifugao with a simple vision: to create a digital platform where people can give and receive value, whether through products, services, transportation, deliveries, jobs, tourism, community projects, or new opportunities.
A farmer can sell.
A customer can buy.
A worker can offer a service.
A family can request help.
A community can support a local project.
Give and receive. Buy and sell. Offer and accept.
That is Dawat, a homegrown name for a homegrown Filipino Community Superapp.

🏡 Your extra room, native house, boarding space, rental, or property could become someone’s next home, stay, or investment.

I’m opening the door for strategic partnerships, collaborations, and investment conversations for https://t.co/IhadLU6INT, a community-powered super app being built by Dawat Technologies Inc.
We are building https://t.co/IhadLU6INT to connect people, businesses, workers, riders, farmers, service providers, and communities through one accessible digital platform—starting in rural areas that are often underserved by larger technology companies.
Our vision is bigger than convenience. We want to create local jobs, support small businesses, improve access to essential services, and build a platform that can grow from the Cordilleras to the rest of the Philippines and, eventually, beyond.
We are currently interested in connecting with:
• Strategic business and technology partners
• Local service providers and community organizations
• Corporate and government collaborators
• Angel investors and venture capital firms
• Potential advisers and industry experts
• Qualified individuals or institutions interested in discussing future equity participation, subject to proper legal and regulatory processes
We are especially interested in partners who believe that innovation should also reach rural and underserved communities.
This is an opportunity to help build a truly homegrown Filipino technology platform with the potential to create meaningful economic and social impact.
For partnerships, proposals, and investment discussions, please contact:

Let’s build something that empowers communities and creates opportunities for millions of Filipinos.

@JensenHuang@nvidia And he causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads,
and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. -Revelation 13:16-17
For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter.
AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country.
Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty.
The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models.
