Bhd.; Henry R. Aguda, Secretary of the Department of Information and Communications
Technology (DICT) of the Philippines; and Ronald Allan M. Aquino, Chairman of Zetrix
Philippines Inc., during the exchange of a Memorandum of Understanding to collaborate
on implementing the Philippines’ public blockchain infrastructure based on the Zetrix
protocol.

Already operating as a core chain of the Malaysia Blockchain Infrastructure ("MBI"),
the Zetrix blockchain, developed by Zetrix AI, will now power a second sovereign-
grade blockchain infrastructure.

The MOU was signed between three entities, namely Zetrix Philippines Inc., My Blockchain
Infrastructure Sdn. Bhd., which is a Zetrix AI joint venture with Malaysia’s National
Research & Development Agency MIMOS Berhad, and the Department of Information and
Communications Technology of the Philippines ("DICT Philippines"), to establish 
a collaboration that seeks to, among other objectives, implement and operationalise
the public blockchain infrastructure of the Philippines based on Zetrix protocol.

In today’s agentic AI economy, blockchain technology is increasingly recognised 
as a critical safeguard in providing tamper-proof provenance for data and verifiable,
transparent rails for transactions for both citizens as well as AI agents. As the
biggest issuer of trusted credentials, governments have the imperative to provide
a platform that enables the issuance, authentication and verification of such credential
documents to be performed digitally at scale in a secure, reliable and trustworthy
manner, not only within the boundaries of a country but also across borders, capable
of efficiently serving individuals, business entities and agentic AI . 

Zetrix serves as the foundational chain of Malaysia’s MBI national blockchain launched
in April 2025 and is now being selected in the Philippines to be the primary blockchain
infrastructure for the deployment of digitised credentials issued by the Government
and applications of national importance. In addition, Zetrix also operates the international
supernode to China’s national Xinghuo Blockchain Infrastructure and Facility hence
cementing Zetrix’s position as the global leader in sovereign-issued digital IDs
and enabling verification to almost 20 percent of the global population.

"The initiative is about making trust portable across systems and borders. Through
this collaboration, we can make the verification of government-issued credentials
more secure and efficient across systems. More importantly, it helps remove unnecessary
friction so citizens can access services faster and with greater confidence wherever
they are," said Henry R. Aguda, Secretary of DICT Philippines.

"We are grateful for the confidence placed in us by the Government of the Philippines
for Zetrix to be the prime mover in leading the Web3 revolution for the Filipino
people," said TS Wong, Group Managing Director of Zetrix AI.

"This milestone marks another important step forward in the realisation of our vision
of bringing countries in the region onto a common integrated ecosystem, thus playing
our part in helping advance economic growth through stronger regional cooperation,"
he added.

Launched in April 2022, the Zetrix blockchain has been powering a variety of pioneering
real-world use cases ranging from digital ID verification to customs clearance processing,
global voting applications and stablecoins, to name a few.

Leveraging this proven track record, the collaboration in the Philippines will also
see the partners focusing initial efforts on deploying blockchain applications of
a similar nature, including cross-border interoperability between the national digital
IDs of Malaysia and the Philippines, the issuance, verification and authentication
of Philippines government-issued credentials and trade facilitation.

The adoption of Zetrix as the foundational chain in the Philippines adds a new dimension
to Zetrix AI’s presence in the world’s 13^(th) most populous nation, where the Group
has been operating for close to a decade as the leading digital government service
enabler, counting major government agencies such as the Bureau of Internal Revenue,
National Bureau of Investigation, Securities and Exchange Commission, Philippine
Ports Authority and Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources as among its partners.
