FinTech Alliance.PH hosts Q2 digital caucus, sets stage for Manila Tech Summit 2025

 

PRESS RELEASE

TAGUIG CITY, PHILIPPINES – FinTech Alliance.PH, the country’s largest and most influential

organization of fintech unicorns, startups, and financial institutions, convened its 2nd Quarter

Digital Industry Caucus and Manila Tech Summit Media Launch on June 24, 2025 at The

Marquis Events Place in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig.

The event brought together key figures from the government, the diplomatic corps, and the

private sector. Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Deputy Governor Chuchi Fonacier delivered

the keynote address, underscoring the urgency of establishing an industry-led fraud bureau to

help build a safer, more resilient digital economy. She emphasized that strong collaboration

between regulators and the private sector is vital in fighting fraud, building consumer trust, and driving financial inclusion.

Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Deputy Governor Chuchi Fonacier delivers the keynote address.

“Continuing engagement with industry players such as the Fintech Alliance is crucial in fostering

a shared understanding of risks, financial inclusion goals, and market conduct expectations.

Moreover, cooperation plays a critical role in enhancing the financial system’s cyber resilience

as it enables financial institutions to proactively identify, prevent and respond to emerging 

persistent threats. The BSP will continue to support strategic partnerships among our key

stakeholders for the purpose of strengthening financial surveillance, obtaining feedback on

policy initiatives, and fostering dialogue,” Deputy Governor Fonacier said.

"On behalf of Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, I commend Fintech Alliance PH and other partners

for this initiative and all stakeholders here today for taking bold steps towards a safer digital future,” DG Fonacier added.

During the caucus, FinTech Alliance PH also announced the submission of a white paper to

Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) Secretary Henry Aguda and

the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordination Center (CICC), outlining a roadmap for the

proposed fraud bureau and positioning it as a shared responsibility of the entire digital ecosystem.

As part of its commitment to honor transformative leadership, FinTech Alliance PH conferred the

BSP Governor Nestor A. Espenilla Jr. FinTech Leadership Award to four exceptional individuals:

BSP Deputy Governor Chuchi Fonacier; H.E. Laure Beaufils, British Ambassador to the

Philippines; H.E. Hae Kyong Yu PSM, FCPA, Australian Ambassador to the Philippines; and

H.E. Ilan Fluss, Ambassador of Israel. This prestigious award honors leaders who embody the

late Governor Espenilla’s legacy of inclusive innovation, regulatory disruption, and financial

empowerment for the underserved.

Tess Espenilla, the wife of the late BSP Governor Nestor Espenilla, congratulated the recipients

and lauded them for espousing the values that her late husband lived by and demonstrated

through public service.

"This award carries forward Nestor's vision of a future where innovation empowers inclusion and

no Filipino is left behind. Your work and leadership in financial technology upholds the values he

deeply believed in - integrity, innovation, and service to the underserved,” Espenilla shared.

The honorees expressed their gratitude to the Alliance for conferring the awards as a tribute to

the power of international collaboration, the promise of digital innovation, and the shared

commitment to uplifting lives through meaningful and forward-thinking change.

"To be recognized by an industry that you also regulate is something really sweet and special

because apart from the regulator and the regulated relationship, there is of course partnership

at the end. But I cannot lay claim to this award alone, same thing with when we tried to fight

cybercrime. No institution can do it alone,” Deputy Governor Fonacier said.

"When I arrived in the Philippines almost four years ago, we weren't doing that much work in the

fintech space. Four years down the line, we have done so much together on the strategic policy

side as well as on the commercial side… …We are so proud to be able to sign an alliance with

Fintech Alliance PH during UK Southeast Asia Fintech Week a few months ago,” Ambassador

Beaufils expressed.

"Our ambassador is personally invested in digital transformation in the Philippines. We

recognize the huge growth in digital transactions is powering the economy here that is opening

many opportunities. It is opening opportunities to Australian businesses to invest in the

Philippines and it is also delivering financial services to many millions of Filipinos who remain

unbanked,” Dr. Moya Collett, Deputy Head of Mission of the Australian Embassy, relayed

Australia’s commitment on behalf of Ambassador Yu.

"Over the past four years, my mission has been to build bridges of innovation, of technology,

and of shared purpose. Israel, as many of you know, is a start-up nation not by choice but by

necessity. In a land with limited water, surrounded by challenges, we had to innovate to survive.

From that struggle, we became a global hub for fintech, cybersecurity, agritech, and many more.

I am proud now that these capabilities support Filipino institutions,” Ambassador Ilan Fluss

shared in a message delivered by Villanueva.

The honorees of the BSP Governor Nestor A. Espenilla Jr. FinTech Leadership Award together with the Fintech Alliance PH.

The event also marked the onboarding of four new member institutions into the Alliance:

SnapWork Digital Technologies Pte. Ltd., TrustDecision Pte. Ltd., EmbedIT S.R.O., and Trusting

Social AI Philippines. Their addition reflects the Alliance’s growing momentum and unified vision

of bridging innovation and inclusion.

To cap the event, the theme of the 2025 Manila Tech Summit was officially revealed: “Forging a

New Global Order: Risks and Opportunities Redefined.” Set for August, the summit is expected

to convene over 1,300 stakeholders to discuss how the Philippines can lead amid global

volatility and opportunity. It also builds up toward the Philippines’ official participation in the Singapore FinTech Festival this November, where the country will mount a national pavilionunder the theme “Bagong Pilipinas.”

FinTech Alliance PH Founding Chairman Lito Villanueva closed with a call to action: “This is our moment. As the digital landscape evolves, so must we boldly and decisively. From tackling fraud to promoting regulatory reform and global collaboration, we are proving that the Philippines is not just catching up we’re stepping up to lead. Let’s move fast, build together, and show the world what a future-ready, inclusive digital economy looks like.”

“The Philippines is not just catching up—we’re stepping up to lead.” -Fintech Alliance PH Founding Chairman Lito Villanueva

The event was held in partnership with the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, with media collaboration

from ABS-CBN, BusinessWorld, Manila Bulletin, Merger Market, Inquirer, PhilStar, The Manila

Times, and TodayPH.

Chairman George Erwin Mojica Garcia: Bounded by Law in His Leadership of the COMELEC- By Grace Bondad Nicolas

As the December 1, 2025 Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections (BSKE) approach, Commission on Elections (COMELEC) Chairman George Erwin Mojica Garcia remains steadfast in his mandate to ensure clean, credible, and inclusive polls. With nearly 42,000 barangays nationwide set to elect new grassroots leaders, Garcia’s leadership is at the forefront of preparing the country for one of its largest democratic exercises.

A Mandate of Continuity and Reform

Chairman Garcia, who assumed the top COMELEC post in 2022 and whose term runs until 2029, has been championing a strategic balance of reform, efficiency, and inclusivity. Despite calls from some lawmakers to postpone or reschedule the BSKE, Garcia has maintained COMELEC’s commitment to conduct the elections as mandated by the Supreme Court and current laws—unless Congress enacts otherwise.

“We will follow the law. Until it is amended, we are bound to proceed with the December 1, 2025 elections,” Garcia emphasized in recent public briefings.

Voter Registration: Making Every Voice Count

Central to the preparation is the nationwide voter registration period from July 1 to 11, 2025. With a particular focus on the youth, COMELEC expects over 1 million first-time voters, especially those aged 15 to 17 for the SK elections. In a bold move to curb fraud, Garcia ordered the removal of the barangay certificate requirement, which has often been misused to pad voter lists.

“This decision promotes inclusivity while protecting the sanctity of the voters’ list,” Garcia noted. “We want a registration process that’s accessible but secure.”

Fully Manual Voting: A Conscious Choice

Unlike national elections that employ automated systems, the BSKE will be fully manual, a choice that Garcia defends as practical and economical. Though COMELEC successfully piloted automated voting in Dasmariñas, Cavite in 2023, Garcia says the manual method is still preferred for barangay-level contests due to its simplicity and significantly lower costs.

“We are dealing with small electoral units where personal relationships play a big role. Voters prefer to write the names of people they know,” Garcia explained. “Automation is good, but for BSKE, manual voting ensures clarity and community trust.”

Prioritizing Marginalized Sectors

One of Garcia’s key reforms is early voting for senior citizens, persons with disabilities (PWDs), and heavily pregnant women. Polling centers will open at 4:00 a.m. on election day, with special accommodations for these sectors until 7:00 a.m., ensuring they can vote with ease and dignity.

“Accessibility is justice in action,” Garcia said. “We want no Filipino left behind in this democratic process.”

Budget, Honoraria, and Resource Gaps

COMELEC was granted an ₱11 billion budget for the 2025 BSKE—short of the agency’s initial request. While grateful, Garcia raised concerns about the non-payment of ₱2,000 honoraria for teachers and electoral board members, which had to be removed due to funding constraints. He has since appealed to the Office of the President for supplemental support.

“Our teachers will report as early as 4 a.m. to make elections happen. We must honor their service not just in words, but through fair compensation,” Garcia said.

Cracking Down on Premature Campaigning

A longtime advocate of electoral fairness, Garcia has warned potential candidates and incumbent officials about premature campaigning, use of government funds for propaganda, and vote buying. Once the filing of certificates of candidacy (COCs) begins, stricter enforcement will follow.

He has also called for legislation to criminalize nuisance candidacies, which burden the system and confuse voters. “Running for public office should be an act of service—not a joke or a tactic to manipulate the outcome,” he asserted.

Building Toward a Credible Election

Chairman Garcia’s leadership has been defined by proactive reforms—from online overseas voting pilots, to mall precinct simulations, and new vote-counting machine procurement for future elections. For the BSKE, his vision remains focused on community empowerment, transparency, and electoral integrity.

“We may not be electing senators or presidents in December, but barangay and SK leaders are the ones closest to the people,” Garcia stressed. “These elections must be honest, peaceful, and truly reflective of the people’s will.”

Looking Ahead

Despite proposals in Congress to either extend the term of barangay officials to four or six years or reschedule the BSKE to 2026 or 2029, Garcia affirms that COMELEC is moving full speed ahead. As of now, all systems are “go” for December 1.

In the words of the Chairman:

“Every election, no matter the scale, is a reflection of our democracy. It is our duty to safeguard it at every level.”

As the nation prepares for this vital democratic exercise.

Chairman George Erwin Mojica Garcia – Making a Mark in Our Election 2025

 

Chairman George Erwin Mojica Garcia – A Visionary Leader Steering COMELEC Towards Inclusive and Transparent Elections

Since assuming the role of Chairman of the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) in July 2022, Atty. George Erwin Mojica Garcia has been at the helm of transformative changes within the Philippine electoral system. With a background rooted in law and education, Garcia’s leadership is characterized by a commitment to transparency, modernization, and youth empowerment. As the nation approaches the Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections (BSKE) scheduled for December 2025, Garcia’s initiatives are paving the way for a more inclusive and credible electoral process. 

Educational Background and Professional Journey

Atty. Garcia’s academic journey commenced at the Lyceum of the Philippines University, where he earned his Bachelor of Arts (Political Science) and Bachelor of Laws degrees. Furthering his legal expertise, he obtained a Master of Laws degree from the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila. His academic foundation laid the groundwork for a distinguished career in law and public service.

Before his appointment to COMELEC, Garcia served as a law professor and later as the dean of a prominent law school. His tenure in academia honed his skills in leadership, governance, and public policy, which he seamlessly transitioned into his role at COMELEC. His experience as a law professor has been instrumental in shaping his approach to electoral reforms and voter education.

Advocacy for Electoral Integrity and Youth Engagement

Chairman Garcia’s leadership is underscored by a steadfast commitment to electoral integrity and youth engagement. Recognizing the challenges posed by misinformation and voter apathy, he has championed initiatives aimed at enhancing voter education and promoting informed decision-making.

One of his notable initiatives is the Kaisa Project, a collaborative effort with the National Youth Commission (NYC), the Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV), and the National Citizens’ Movement for Free Elections (NAMFREL). Launched in 2025, the project focuses on empowering youth voters and ensuring the integrity of the upcoming BSKE. The project encompasses voter education campaigns, transparency initiatives, and the establishment of mechanisms to combat electoral fraud. 

Garcia emphasizes that “electoral reform centers on accessibility, as we aim for more inclusive participation in the process of choosing our leaders.” This philosophy drives his efforts to make the electoral process more transparent and accessible to all Filipinos, particularly the youth. 

COMELEC Chair Garcia Lauds Record-Breaking Midterm Elections

MANILA, Philippines — Commission on Elections (COMELEC) Chairman George Erwin Mojica Garcia has hailed the May 12, 2025 midterm elections as a historic milestone, underscoring its success in voter turnout, transparency, and institutional integrity.

✅ 1. Highest-Ever Midterm Turnout

With 82.2% voter participation, equivalent to 55.9 million of the 68.4 million registered Filipino voters, the May polls achieved the highest turnout in Philippine midterm history   .

Chair Garcia emphasized:

“This is not a victory for the Comelec. This is a victory for the Filipino people.”  

⸻

📡 2. Upholding Election Integrity

Responding to claims of disenfranchisement from international observers, Garcia firmly rejected the charges, citing the record turnout as proof of free and open voting .

He also clarified issues related to overvoting: out of 57 million voters, an estimated 1.3 million overvoted, but emphasized this was a limited and non-systemic issue  .

⸻

🖥️ 3. Speed & Transparency in Results

The COMELEC achieved a lightning-fast canvassing of 175 certificates within just three days, a sharp improvement over the 25 days it took in 2022  .

Garcia credited the acceleration to technology, tighter logistics, and the dedication of poll workers  .

⸻

🔍 4. Embracing Transparency Measures

For the first time, the election process incorporated multiple transparency servers, enabling real-time, cross-platform data validation—including ballot images and transmission logs with watchdog groups like PPCRV and Namfrel  .

Garcia confirmed that Data Center 3 served only as a housing facility for these independent servers and was not used for result consolidation  .

⸻

🎙️ 5. Official Statements

• On disenfranchisement claims:

“There was no state‑sponsored disenfranchisement… Our constituents voted freely.”  

• On overvoting:

“The 17 million ‘overvotes’ refer to unmarked votes across multiple positions. The issue is small and manageable.”  

• On overseas internet voting:

GARcia noted low participation abroad (19% online, 32% via machine), stressing the need for user-friendly and secure digital systems for future votes  .

Preparations for the December 2025 BSKE

As the December 2025 BSKE approaches, Chairman Garcia is spearheading comprehensive preparation
