Breathe in, breathe out. Are you ready to delve into our memories, dear scholar?

The University of the Philippines Department of Science and Technology Scholars’ Association is proud to introduce Salve: The 43rd Anniversary of UP DOST SA.

With its prime theme "Salve", the UP DOST Scholars' Association celebrates its 43 fruitful years of scientific, socio-academic, and service-centric activities, through a series of events catered towards the scholars, who are now emerging from and adapting to a new normal after the past two years of the pandemic.

Kicking off the month-long event is the Thanksgiving Mass on November 4th, held to channel the organization's appreciation for a successful 43 years and the anticipation for years to come.

The next event on November 19th, dubbed "PopSciCLe: Hello, Pandemic, Goodbye", is an online trivia quiz show that is open to undergraduate students from all over the country, which focuses on science, culture, and literature, specifically pandemic pop culture.

On November 26th, UP DOST SA urges scholars to travel back in time to previous years with “Ex Libris: Tracing the Roots III”, an anniversary night event showcasing the archived pictures and memories that mirror the progress and growth of the organization.

On the same night, “Portrait (43T): A Celebration of the 43rd Anniversary of UP DOST SA”, an anniversary dinner and alumni homecoming event, will be held to commemorate the programs and initiatives of the organization.

Finally, on December 3rd, the organization holds “SArprise: Mahika o Siyensya”, otherwise known as Sponsor-a-Kid or SA Kid. This outreach program is a way for the organization to give back to the community by inspiring the Filipino youth to look into the science and technology sector through inspiring talks.

Let's take this month as an opportunity to create precious memories as we walk down memory lane with UP DOST SA!

Zhou joined leaders from industry and government to discuss the Philippines’ head start in financial sector digital transformation thanks to favorable demographics and progressive regulation

Wei Zhou, CEO of Coins.ph, ("Coins" or the "Company"), the Philippines' leading digital wallet provider and crypto exchange platform, took the stage at the second edition of the Fintech Alliance’s Inclusion and Digital Transformation (INDX) Summit 2.0 to discuss the potential for the Philippines to globally lead the digital transformation of the financial sector.

“The Philippines has proven it can be a global leader in the adoption of financial technology. With over 100 million people, the majority of whom are below the age of 30, we have the numbers to become the epicenter of global innovation in fintech. We are already the leaders in Web3 and with our regulator's progressive mindset in finding the balance between protecting investors and promoting innovation, we are poised to become a force to reckon with,” Zhou said in the leadup to the event.




Zhou appeared on a panel on Day 2 of the Summit to discuss the challenges posed by the adoption of new technologies in the financial sector, and the progressive steps taken by industry and regulators in the Philippines to promote innovation, upskill the workforce, and develop relevant competencies. Zhou spoke alongside other leaders from industry and government, including Emilio B. Aquino, the Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, who delivered a keynote address introducing the panel.

“As the world moves into the Web3 era dominated by digital currencies and blockchain technology, the Philippines is ahead of the curve in terms of both user adoption and homegrown technology development. With hundreds of millions of people now owning digital assets and relying on crypto’s instant transactions and cheap fees to make payments and send money seamlessly around the world, regulators in the Philippines have pursued a balanced approach that encourages crypto platforms to operate within a well-thought-out regulatory framework that protects citizens without stifling innovation. That is an incredibly encouraging sign for the country’s ability to remain at the forefront as innovative new technologies continue to transform economies across Southeast Asia and around the world,” Zhou added.

Coins is fully regulated by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), and operates under both Virtual Currency and Electronic Money Issuer licenses. Coins continues to serve as the leading bridge to the world of Web3, helping millions of people in Southeast Asia to easily buy, sell and store a wide array of digital assets and fiat currencies.
