A new partnership merges gaming, AI, and education, specifically focused on the Filipino people! This collaboration between YGG Pilipinas and 10XME brings professional AI courses to the Web3 Metaversity curriculum, adding specialized courses on leveraging AI tools, improving productivity, and integrating AI into business workflows. 

This expansion comes at a critical time. With the global AI market reaching nearly US $197 billion in 2023, the demand for AI-related skills is on the rise. It is expected that the industry will create 97 million new jobs by 2025! With this move, YGG Pilipinas aims to empower Filipinos to seize the opportunities presented by the AI revolution. The emerging industries of AI and web3 have the potential to transform various sectors across the country and create high-paying jobs for skilled professionals.

Co-founders of 10XME, Bianca Cruz and Miggy Azurin, will join the Web3 Metaversity team to help deliver high-quality AI education across the Philippines. Both Bianca and Miggy are experienced entrepreneurs in the local web3 community. Bianca previously led business development at the Philippine crypto exchange Moneybees before founding the web3 PR firm ATT3ND. Miggy co-founded the web3 media platform, The Mega Maxi. Their expertise will play a crucial role in shaping the future of AI education within the Web3 Metaversity.

"As we move into a world where AI is ubiquitous, the Filipino community needs relevant skills and education to help them take advantage of this economic opportunity," said YGG Pilipinas Country Head Mench Dizon. "At the heart of YGG Pilipinas is a mission to upskill and educate community members all over the country, especially in the provinces. 10XME will be instrumental in growing Metaversity, adding extensive experience in AI education and application. We’re excited to bring these to the community and work towards a more optimistic future with Web3 and AI."

Through this acquisition and the expansion of Web3 Metaversity, YGG Pilipinas is solidifying its position as a leader in web3 education and adoption in the Philippines. With over a million followers across its social channels, YGG Pilipinas is dedicated to onboarding more Filipinos into the web3 space and preparing them for the future of work.

As AI and Web3 continue to reshape industries worldwide, the collaboration between YGG Pilipinas and 10XME will ensure that Filipinos are equipped with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in this new era of technology-driven innovation.

What is 10XME?

10XME is an AI educational platform that focuses on delivering high-quality education about artificial intelligence (AI) tools and technologies. Founded in 2023 by Miggy Azurin and Bianca Cruz, 10XME aims to help Filipinos across the country enhance their skills in emerging AI technologies.

Since its founding 10XME has partnered with major companies such as Coins.ph, Globe, and Microsoft to enhance competency in emerging AI technologies, including large language models (LLMs). With these valuable educational resources, Web3 Metaversity will offer comprehensive programs that prepare students to navigate two of the most influential technologies of the future: blockchain and AI.

One of the key initiatives that 10XME will bring to Web3 Metaversity is a focus on how AI can benefit various industries, from healthcare to agriculture and even traditional office environments. 10XME’s core offerings include an in-depth guide on managing AI content pipelines, which can potentially replace an entire marketing team. This practical approach to AI education aligns with YGG Pilipinas’ mission to equip Filipinos with skills that will have a tangible impact on their careers and industries.

"AI is changing many industries around the world, and our goal is to make sure that Filipinos do not get left behind," said 10XME co-founder Bianca Cruz. "Under YGG Pilipinas, we’ll have the resources and support needed to transform more lives and help people find success in their careers. We’re excited to be a part of Web3 Metaversity, using the knowledge and skills we’ve gathered over the years to help others."

What is Web3 Metaversity?

Since 2022, Web3 Metaversity has been providing classes and boot camps to Filipinos across the country, covering the ins and outs of web3, including digital wallets, web3 games, and cryptocurrency. The program has connected students with thought leaders from YGG, offering mentorship programs and Discord coaching sessions to ensure that students receive a well-rounded education.

Web3 Metaversity is also unique in its approach to outreach. Rather than relying solely on an online structure, YGG Pilipinas actively reaches out to communities through its YGG Pilipinas Roadtrip.
