title: SEC: Worldcoin Not Registered in the Philippines; Company Claims No Need for Registration

Since January, Worldcoin’s activities in the country have been generating buzz among both crypto enthusiasts and newcomers.

However, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) clarified that Worldcoin is not registered, while a project representative argued that registration is unnecessary.

SEC on Worldcoin

In a recent episode of the local magazine show Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho (KMJS), Atty. Paolo Montano Ong, assistant director of the SEC PhiliFintech Innovation Office, said in an interview that Worldcoin is not registered in the Philippines.

“Batay po sa datos ng SEC, ang World po ay hindi rehistrado sa Pilipinas. Parati pong pinapaalala ng SEC na lagi lang makipag-transact sa mga rehistradong korporasyon (at) maging mapanuri.”

[Translation: Based on SEC data, Worldcoin is not registered in the Philippines. The SEC constantly reminds the public to transact only with registered corporations and to remain cautious.]

Worldcoin: No Need for Registration

However, the episode also featured a statement from Worldcoin, sent by Atty. Enrique dela Cruz, partner at DivinaLaw and counsel for Worldcoin:

“There is no need to register the company in the SEC since it is a technology provider with no business operations in the, making its technology accessible to Filipinos without requiring SEC registration. Moreover, participation is optional and no personal identity data is collected, stored or sold.”

Since January, even before the show aired, BitPinas had been tracking Worldcoin’s activities in Bulacan.

What is World/Worldcoin?

Founded by Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, Worldcoin is a blockchain-based project designed to establish a secure and verified digital identity system. It utilizes iris biometrics through a device called the Orb, which scans users’ iris to generate a World ID. This unique identifier can then be used for secure messaging, digital transactions, and other online interactions.
