April 12, 2022 – Imagine having your digital identity stored securely on your mobile phone together with all the personal credentials which are verifiable and within your sharing control. Partnering with a local entity, FilPass Tamperproof Tech Inc(FilPass), this is the technology CIO Forum Foundation (CIOFF) would like to introduce to the Philippines market.

CIOFF and FilPass have signed a Memorandumof Agreement to introduce blockchain technology to respective sectors which will benefit from the technology.

Fake documents are rampant in the Philippines. Because of this, many organizations are defrauded as they cannot verify whether their members’ identification cards, contracts, and documents are legitimate. As the lack of a verification system has been missing in both the private and public sectors, the CIO Forum Foundation nowcaninstantly validate the authenticity of its members’ IDs and certificates with just a quick QR code scanner. Through this, the security system of the CIO Forum Foundation would now be improved for the benefit of their present and future advocacy programs.

Looking at how the CIO Forum Foundation focuses on creating advocacy programs to improve the information and communications technology (ICT) of the different units of government agencies, the collaboration with FilPass would be their first step to providing a more efficient and effective public governance. The partnership of these two organizations will be handled by Ryan Soh –Chief Strategy Officer of FilPass, Leo Querubin -Managing Director of FilPass, and George Kintanar -Chairman of the CIO Forum Foundation.The FilPass IDs would be used for events tracking and attendance, issuance,and verification of certificates, and scanning of membership identification cards for entry to important meetings.

FilPass is also being utilized by schools and universities such as De La Salle Lipa, PHINMA Education Network, and AMA University while it expands its reach to the travel industry with travel associations like UTAOA, and the healthcare sector via COVID-19 test centers such as –Breeze Medical Center, Intramuros Molecular Laboratory, Kaiser Medical Center, Manila HealthTek, and South Superhighway Biomedical Laboratories.

FilPass aims to be the go-to digital identity platform for Filipinos. The Filipino Pass -> FilPass!
