DWorld, a leader in creating immersive and virtual reality experiences, has formed a strategic partnership with Impero, a forward-thinking digital development firm. Together, they have embarked on an exciting venture to develop the Philippine Metaverse, a groundbreaking and dynamic digital world. This collaboration was officially unveiled at the “Ready Marketing One” event, hosted by the Philippines Marketing Association on November 8. The CEOs of both DWorld and Impero presented their vision for the Philippines Metaverse during this event.

A major highlight of the announcement was the introduction of the first completely virtual Philippine resort within the DWorld Metaverse: El Nido in Palawan. This destination, known as the Philippines' last unspoiled paradise, features 45 islands in Bacuit Bay. El Nido, renowned for its untouched beaches, majestic limestone cliffs, enigmatic caves, and vibrant coral reefs, is set to become a focal point for global interest in the Metaverse.

Manila Di Giovanni, the CEO of DWorld, made significant remarks at the event, highlighting the following:

In conclusion, it's important to note that with DWorld becoming the official Metaverse platform for the Philippines Marketing Association, all member companies in the Philippines will have the opportunity to access this platform. They will enjoy considerable advantages and attractive conditions as part of this initiative.

The Financial Services Commission (FSC) of Mauritius is considering integrating the metaverse into its payment systems to capitalize on digital advancements. The FSC has released a document discussing the potential uses and key factors for including blockchain-based virtual worlds in finance. To further develop this idea, the FSC has started a month-long public consultation, seeking insights from industry and academic experts on various aspects, including the metaverse's immediate financial impact and the challenges of providing financial services in this digital space.

Feedback will be key in shaping rules for integrating the metaverse into Mauritius' finance sector. Stakeholders have until November 30 to contribute, aiding the FSC's formation of a specialized group for this initiative. The FSC aims to use the metaverse for applications like virtual showcases and financial simulations, enhancing understanding of complex models through 3D visualization. Acknowledging both the potential and risks like cybersecurity, the FSC also intends to align its strategy with global standards, prioritizing consumer safety and empowerment.
