Venom Foundation, developer of the Venom Blockchain, together with global company Miquido, will work on digitization efforts championed by the government. Experts estimate that digitalizing the economy could lead to an annual GDP growth of one to two percent, which means billions of dollars in additional revenue that could boost the economy, help improve the quality of life of Filipinos, and develop infrastructure.
The National Printing Office (NPO), which is working on its own digitalization roadmap, is expected to benefit from the digitization efforts, as in the country, at least 6.5 billion receipts are being printed annually. Most of the receipts are issued in accordance with the requirements of the Bureau of Internal Revenue, which regulates the issuance of official receipts and commercial invoices through the Electronic Invoicing System that has been introduced to reduce VAT fraud and improve tax collection and administration.
President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. has pressed for full digitalization under his administration to provide better services for Filipinos and eradicate corruption. According to President Marcos, digitizing government records and services would help support its science-based planning and decision making, as well as improve business transactions.
The NPO, headed by Director Renato Acosta, is moving towards digitizing accountable forms. Approximately more than 10 billion accountable forms are printed annually.
Looking into and using the Venom Blockchain and the Miquido technology stack, the NPO can transition to the issuance of electronic forms to not only reduce printing and processing costs but also increase transparency and security of financial transactions. Venom Blockchain proved it is superior to other blockchain platforms like Hyperledger, Ethereum, and R3 Corda.
Implementing blockchain technologies specifically in government processes helps to increase transparency, reduce corruption, and improve data management. This will not only strengthen the economy but also increase the people’s trust in government institutions.
Transitioning to electronic receipts based on Venom Blockchain technology will not only reduce printing and processing costs but will also increase the transparency and security of financial transactions.
Venom Blockchain technology is known for its security, scalability, and efficiency. Venom focuses on distributed ledgers, CBDCs (central bank-backed digital currencies), and asset tokenization. Several countries have already chosen the Venom Blockchain for the digitalization of their economies, including the creation of digital currencies, data management, and the development of private blockchains for government and corporate needs.
Venom Foundation aims to bring transparency and innovation to the industry as a leading global blockchain company. It endeavors to provide infrastructure to governments and web3 projects while empowering emerging economies in the Middle East and North Africa with its unique technology.
On the other hand, Miquido’s rich technology stack enables a smooth and reliable digital transformation by providing comprehensive services that embed technology into business. Its expertise in Android, iOS, cross-platform, front-end, back-end, and even artificial intelligence development suits the requirements of governments and the private sector.
Miquido is a Google-certified software development company based in Europe. It is a one-stop software development company that aims to solve business challenges with cutting-edge technology and data-driven research.

Iloilo City- Following its successful launch last May 2024, Filipino Transport Network Company (TNC) Unified Transport Operations League (UTOL) expands its operations to other provinces in the Philippines and is now making its presence felt in Iloilo City, one of the major centers of business in Western Visayas.
Atty. Orly Ocampo, Head of the Legal Department of UTOL, noted that the move to expand into provinces was in response to the Board Resolution of the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) which opened slots for transportation network vehicle service (TNVS) applications in the Visayas and Mindanao Regions.
“The LTFRB Board resolves to open TNVS slots in Region 6 ( Western Visayas) which includes Iloilo, Aklan, Capiz, Antique and Bacolod. For this year, the agency opened 1,600 slots. UTOL will expand to regions where there are open slots to address the demand of the market,” Atty. Orly Ocampo, Head of the Legal Department noted.
UTOL chairman of the board Roland Maningas shared that unlike Metro Manila, TNVS availability in the provinces remain untapped and there is a big market that TNCs can expand into. In fact, TNVS services in many tourist destinations are underutilized, with many driver operators offering vehicles for hire at a daily or hourly rate instead. “We saw that in the provinces, there is demand for TNVS services, usually fueled by tourists. However, the riding public and public utility vehicle drivers and owners in these areas are not wholly familiar with the TNC concept. We want to be the first to penetrate these new markets. We want to educate both the riding public and the driver operators and show to them that there are other ways to get around in their areas and provide better transport services,” he said.
UTOL originally wanted to focus solely on Metro Manila as it irons out its operations, but with the opening of slots in other provinces, the company saw an opportunity to grow its presence and leverage on the advantages in being the first mover.
“The open slots give UTOL the opportunity as a TNC to accredit its own fleet of TNVS drivers/operators. We hope that these first-time TNVS franchise holders would also support UTOL. We have said before that we want to be partners with TNVS drivers/operators and help each other build a better future for both of us,” Atty. Ocampo shared.
One of the projects that UTOL has worked out is an agreement between the company and car dealers to provide one-stop shop services for UTOL-registered drivers/operators. “Normally, when someone goes to dealership, customers there only get the unit. However, we have partnered with Toyota Valenzuela and Toyota Pasong Tamo to provide more services to help our driver operators. If they are accredited by UTOL, they also get to avail services such as financing services, insurance, and law offices services. So those who are interested in entering the TNVS services can join UTOL caravans because during these events, everything is already laid out for them, from car ownership, to financing, to TNVS accreditation,” Atty. Ocampo added.
UTOL is also in discussions with other car dealers in provinces to provide these services in order to help support prospective applicants.
The company has also partnered with SSS, with UTOL pledging to subsidize the SSS contributions of eligible drivers/operators. “We will be shouldering the SSS contributions of our driver operators. We only require that they are active on UTOL for 6 months straight. That is the first requirement because that is the minimum required by the SSS under the program. This incentive program is our way of showing to our drivers that we value them and UTOL supports them in many ways, not just by offering an online platform as a TNC,” Maningas shared.
UTOL has just opened its first Iloilo office at 14A Blk 2 Lot 15, Bankers Village, Brgy. Quintin Salas Jaro, Iloilo City with contact numbers 09668610750 and 09085409409. A Grand motorcade will happen on July 27, 2024 starting at Robinson Pavia and ending at Park Inn by Radisson.
UTOL is an All-Filipino ride-hailing transport network services company that aims to address the needs of both the riding public and TNVS driver and operators.
The company had its major press launching event last April 30, 2024 at the Champagne Room of the Manila Hotel and its Grand Launching Event last May 8, 2024 at the Palacio de Manila where more than 500 drivers attended to signify their full support.

New protocols for acne scars offer precise, individualised treatment for better results. Sozo Aesthetic Clinic provides solutions that transform skin health and boost self-confidence.
Acne scars have long been a challenging issue for those seeking clear, smooth skin. These scars, often the remnants of severe acne, can significantly impact a person’s self-esteem and quality of life. Traditional treatments have varied in effectiveness, leading many to learn to live with these marks. However, recent protocols to treat acne scars are set to change this narrative.
Acne scars come in various forms, including rolling, boxcars, and icepick scars. Each type of scar presents different challenges, requiring targeted approaches for effective treatment. Historically, a one-size-fits-all method has often failed to deliver the desired results, leaving patients disheartened. The updated protocols now offer a more precise and individualised treatment plan, significantly improving outcomes.
The key to this lies in the comprehensive array of lasers and procedures now available. These tools are meticulously chosen to address the specific needs of each type of acne scar, ensuring optimal results for every patient.
These protocols are set to make waves in the dermatological community as soon as possible. They represent a significant leap forward, providing solutions that many believed were out of reach. This development not only addresses the physical appearance of scars but also offers a considerable boost in confidence and quality of life for patients.
“Say goodbye to your acne scars!” — resonates as a powerful statement reflecting the potential of these new treatments. By targeting the root of the problem with precision, patients no longer need to feel burdened by their scars, which extend beyond the physical. The ability to significantly improve these scars offers an emotional and psychological uplift, enhancing overall well-being. Instead, they can look forward to clearer skin and a renewed sense of self-assurance. It is possible for acne scar improvements even up to 90%!
Sozo Aesthetic Clinic provides effective acne scar treatments that include various advanced methods, such as lasers, radiofrequency microneedling, chemical peels, TCA CROSS, and subcision with dermal fillers.
Laser treatments like Fractional CO2, Fraxel Dual, Pico lasers, and Pulse-dye lasers use focused light beams to break down scar tissue and stimulate collagen production, improving skin texture and reducing scar visibility.
Moreover, technologies like INFINI (radiofrequency microneedling) combines microneedling and RF energy to enhance collagen and elastin production, while chemical peels and TCA CROSS target overactive sebaceous glands and ice-pick scars. Subcision with dermal fillers releases fibrous tissue beneath the skin, and fillers elevate and even out depressions. Each treatment offers different benefits that a patient can look forward to.
For more information, visit Sozo Aesthetic Clinic at 1 Raffles Place #05-12/13, One Raffles Place (Shopping Mall), Singapore 048616. They can also be reached at as*@********ic.sg or contact 6935 1811 and via WhatsApp at 9610 5102.
