Base Build Comes to Ilocos Norte at MMSU

The Web3 community in the Ilocos Region came alive on May 16, 2025, as Base Build: Ilocos Norte took place at the Mariano Marcos State University (MMSU) Main Campus. The event marked an exciting moment for the local builder ecosystem, bringing the global energy of Base Batches to the northern Philippines.

Base Batches is a global builder program dedicated to recruiting and empowering the next generation of on-chain developers and entrepreneurs. Its mission is to inspire talented individuals from around the world to create the next wave of industry-defining applications built on Base, Coinbase's Layer 2 network on Ethereum.

The Ilocos Norte leg of this initiative was supported by Web3 Ilocos, the local Web3 community championing blockchain education and adoption in the region. Their presence at the event helped bridge the gap between global Web3 opportunities and local Filipino talent, ensuring that builders in the Ilocos Region have access to the same resources and networks available to their counterparts worldwide.

MMSU, as a premier state university in the region, provided a fitting venue for this gathering — a space where innovation and education already intersect. The event gave aspiring builders a chance to learn more about building on-chain and to explore how they can participate in the broader Base Batches program.

For those interested in joining the movement and building the future of Web3 from the Ilocos Region, registration details were made available via the official event link. Whether you're a developer, designer, or simply a curious mind eager to explore blockchain technology, Base Build: Ilocos Norte served as an open invitation to get involved.

Stay tuned to The BLOKC and Web3 Ilocos for more updates on upcoming Web3 events and opportunities across the Philippines. The future of on-chain building is being written — and Filipino builders are very much part of the story. 🇵🇭⛓️
