一個提供數字身份以換取一個人的虹膜掃描的項目已經到達菲律賓，並吸引了Bulacan的一長串參與者。

But is it just hype, or should people be worried? Local magazine show “Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho” (KMJS) looked into the allure, the skepticism, and the story behind the project.

但這只是炒作，還是人們應該擔心？本地雜誌節目“ Kapuso MO，Jessica Soho”（KMJS）研究了該項目背後的魅力，懷疑和故事。

The March 9, 2025, episode of the show introduced viewers to various people who lined up for the Worldcoin initiative, bringing their own stories and reasons for doing so.

2025年3月9日，該節目的情節向觀眾介紹了為WorldCoin倡議而排隊的各種人，帶來了自己的故事和理由。

Jhe Mendoza, a resident of Plaridel, assisted the KMJS production team in understanding the application process and onsite verification by sharing videos he made. He applied through an online link and submitted the required documents, including a valid ID and a photo. Afterward, he received an email invitation for the verification process at Plaridel Municipal Hall.

Plaridel的居民Jhe Mendoza通過分享他製作的視頻來協助KMJS生產團隊了解申請過程和現場驗證。他通過在線鏈接申請，並提交了所需的文件，包括有效的ID和照片。之後，他收到了Plaridel Municipal Hall驗證過程的電子郵件邀請。

At the venue, they were asked to present the email invitation and the same ID used during registration. After scanning a QR code on the invitation, a Worldcoin staff member cross-checked the details and assigned a number to those present. They were then asked to proceed to a van, where another staff member scanned their irises using a specialized device called an Orb.

在會場，他們被要求介紹電子郵件邀請函，以及在註冊過程中使用的ID。在邀請函數上掃描QR碼後，世界幣工作人員對詳細信息進行了交叉檢查，並將數字分配給了現在的數字。然後，他們被要求前往一輛麵包車，另一名工作人員使用稱為An Orb的專門設備掃描了虹膜。

Mendoza said they could have backed out during any stage of the process, but he chose to continue.

“這確實是浪費現金獎勵。”

He said he received 48.50 $WLD, which would be distributed monthly over a year. However, it must be noted that cryptocurrency is volatile, and its fiat value may change at any time. At the time of recording, the $WLD tokens were valued at around $7 each, and after converting them to pesos at a cryptocurrency exchange, he received around ₱2,100 to ₱2,500.

他說，他收到了48.50美元的WLD，該WLD將在一年中每月分發。但是，必須指出的是，加密貨幣是揮發性的，其法定價值可能隨時改變。在錄製時，$ WLD代幣的價值約為7美元，在加密貨幣交易所將其轉換為比索後，他收到了約2,100至2,500。

Serrano and her family used the money to supplement their budget, while others invested it in starting a small business.

塞拉諾（Serrano）和她的家人用這筆錢補充了他們的預算，而其他人則將其投資用於創辦小型企業。

On the other hand, tricycle driver Renato “Henry” Supnit said that even though he completed all the steps and requirements, he could not withdraw the additional 48.50 $WLD he received.

另一方面，三輪車駕駛員雷納托·亨利（Renato“ Henry” Supnit）表示，即使他完成了所有步驟和要求，他也無法撤回額外的48.50 $ wld。

He said he had concerns that Worldcoin might access his account and take the money. He also had worries about his iris scan being misused for fraudulent activities.

他說，他擔心WorldCoin可能會訪問他的帳戶並拿錢。他還擔心自己的虹膜掃描因欺詐活動而被濫用。

Due to these worries, he said he decided to delete and uninstall the World app and that he no longer expects to receive the monthly payments.

由於這些擔憂，他說他決定刪除並卸載世界應用程序，並且他不再期望獲得每月付款。

At the supermarket, a staff member from a cryptocurrency exchange set up a small table to assist participants in converting their tokens.
