?? YGG Play Summit and 3XP Event Recap ???

What a fantastic week for Web3 in the Philippines! ?? Last week, I had the pleasure of attending two incredible events: the Yield Guild Games Play Summit at SM Aura and the 3XP event at BGC McKinley Park. Here's a quick rundown of my experience:

YGG Play Summit

My Web3 journey kicked off with the YGG Play Summit, and YGG truly brought out the big guns! ??

The atmosphere was buzzing with energy, and there was something for everyone. The event was a perfect blend of exciting talks from Web3 founders and industry leaders—packed with valuable insights and takeaways! ??

I also got to explore a range of Web3 game booths featuring some of the biggest names in the space like Star Atlas , Ragnar?k, Arena of Faith , Pixels , and Sipher Odyssey. And, of course, there was no shortage of merch—freebies galore! ??

Adding to the fun, cosplayers were out in full force, embodying characters from our favorite games. ?? I even spotted some Web3 allies like Coins.ph , proudly showing their support. And it wouldn’t be a YGG event without some thrilling gaming tournaments—the excitement was electric! ?

The crowd was packed, but the vibes were so positive that no one seemed to mind. It was a celebration of the growing Web3 scene, and everyone left with smiles on their faces. ??

3XP Event

Later that evening, I made my way to the more intimate 3XP event, which had a totally different—but equally awesome—vibe. ??

While the YGG Play Summit was a high-energy festival, the 3XP event felt like a warm, cozy gathering. The setting was laid-back, with demo games and presentations featuring cool brands like HyperPlay , Ancient8 , Paravox (from 81RAVENS PTE. LTD. ), ONEVERSE , Sparkball (from Worldspark Studios , and Yey! ??

They even added some fun touches like basketball hoops, plus plenty of delicious food and drinks to keep the conversations flowing. ?? This exclusive, invite-only event felt like a reunion of Web2 and Web3 pioneers, and I was thrilled to meet up with familiar faces from back in the day. Big shoutout to the folks at HPL Game Design Corporation game — Allen Amparo , Christian Ballada ?? Home , Faith Limpahan , and Denice Carmona —who all shared some amazing stories, and also to Eugene as well ???

I also had the chance to chat with Jerry Mercado , who plays a crucial role in Market Lead in SEA for 81Ravens . Connecting with so many passionate and talented people reminded me just how exciting this space really is. ??

Overall, it was a fantastic week for Web3, and I walked away feeling even more optimistic about the future of the space. Great to see how vibrant and inclusive our community has become—let’s keep the momentum going! ??

If you happened to attend either of these events, I'd love to hear about your experiences! Feel free to share what you learned or enjoyed from being there
