## Name of DAO _Harmony Philippines_ ## Proposal overview The Philippines is still considered mostly a cash-based economy, plus the fact that it is a huge country that is composed of many islands, it is not easy to fully emerge Filipinos into cryptocurrency. To help bridge the gap between islands, technology, and cryptocurrency we aim to provide the knowledge and support here in the Philippines through community-driven programs. Through talks, online and on-site events, social media reach, and meetups we will expand Harmony Ecosystem in the Philippines and eventually create long-term projects that will benefit the community. We hope to bring more people, create opportunities and investments and build long-term projects both in the public and private sectors. **Mandates:** _Growth:_ Onboard users on missions and culture, pollinate values across communities. _Engagement:_ Amplify content of roadmap and milestones, creative campaigns of products and projects. _Diversity:_ Solicit voices and votes in forums, reinforce strong governance participation. **What Do We Aim To Do?** _Harmony Philippines 4 Pillars_ ![4 pillars](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex035/uploads/harmony1/original/2X/8/88956ca62d47683813a79d6a2e4a229739505b0b.png) **Education** - To create awareness about Harmony Ecosystem, encourage new people, and attract and influence crypto investors we will do talks, events/seminars across the Philippines both online and on-site. - School Talks - A campus tour which our target audience is students and professors. - Meetups - Meetups with professionals and crypto enthusiasts, talks about Harmony Ecosystem, NTF Gaming and etc. - Hackathon - This is just one venue to start long-term projects that will provide tech opportunities, collaborations, and open investment opportunities both in the public and private sectors. **Social Media** - Platforms for promotions, community interactions and support, and recruiting more followers and members. **Translation** - To reach more Filipinos a translation of [https://open.harmony.one/](https://open.harmony.one/) to Filipino’s main native language, Tagalog will help more people to understand and explore more of the harmony one community, development, and ecosystem. **Technology** - Our goal is to contribute to the Philippines’ financial sector and community using Harmony blockchain by developing blockchain Applications. The Harmony Philippines will develop the following applications: 1. **Remittance Application/Gateway** : In terms of getting/transferring money, Filipinos mostly rely on local remittance services. Those types are where a person personally goes to the remittance branch with their handheld money. But since the start of the pandemic, the government is pushing on cashless transactions, which opens more opportunities to a digital way of money transfer services. With lots of Filipinos working outside the Philippines, Overseas Filipino Workers need new ways to transfer their hard-earned cash safely to their loved ones in the Philippines. In 2021, an estimated 676 thousand Filipino workers were deployed overseas. The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) said January to November remittances reached $31.59 billion in 2021 from $29.99 billion in the same period of 2020.Our goal is to develop and introduced a remittance application to Filipinos powered by HarmonyONE ,in partnership with SEC licensed providers. 2. **NFT for Filipino Artist** - Philippines arts reflect a society with diverse cultural influences and traditions. Many Filipino artists are acknowledged globally for their talent and skills and we want to expand their reach by developing a platform powered by HarmonyOne, where artists can showcase their works and arts worldwide. 3. **NFT Gaming** - Filipino gamers are one of the best gamers in the world, most of the gamers in the Philippines were able to compete on the international stage. Philippine has a large NFT Gaming Community and our goal is to develop a home-grown NFT gaming powered by HarmonyONE. **Team - Our Governor’s** 1. Lead Governor / Growth Hacker - Al Francis 2.

Here is the Official Harmony Philippines DAO logo **Why eagle?** The Philippine Eagle was named the national bird of the Philippines in 1995. The bird is chosen as a national symbol as it represents the strength, uniqueness, a love for freedom, and power of the Filipino people. Losing them to extinction would mean losing a nation’s precious biological heritage. ![Logo](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex035/uploads/harmony1/original/2X/a/accb57ea331408b91b79388f9b75f2a069467ab1.png) ---

Hello @laet4x I would like to thank you for this incredibly detailed Regional DAO proposal. And if it’s alright, I would like to use it as an example for other Regional DAO’s. 💙 There’s only **ONE** thing missing in order to approve this DAO for funding. That is **setting a date for a second election**. If the initial govs can set up the second election and have a fundamental understanding that the DAO treasury receives funding **after** certain milestones have been achieved then we can approve this Regional DAO for funding 🙂 @lij @Sam @giv ---

Thank you for the detailed analysis of the election schedules, @laet4x 💙 I would love to dive in to this segment: > [@laet4x](#): > > 1. Re-election of governors and will be voted by Governors + Community. > > - Top 1 to Top 6 will be retained. > - Top 7 to Top 9 will be opened for election. > > 1. Top 7 to Top 9 positions will be opened for the community members. The previous governor can run for re-election. What constitutes a “Top 1 to Top 6” retention? I’m thinking it would be based on performance reviews? Coordinape Circle has a wonderful tool that could also help with these deterministic values. In any regard, I would like to approve this DAO proposal. @sam @giv @lij ---

We will have 2 elections: **1st election** is for **Top 1** to **Top 6** and the reason is **STABILITY** Here are some reasons: - We used the concept of how the Republic of the Philippines vote for senators, since we have 24 senators we replace the 12 senators each term. - We don’t replace all 9 governors immediately, instead we replace it slowly starting with 3. We can mentor the new governors and make sure that DAO and its projects will continue. - We will also be based on performance reviews (KPI) so that the governors that is not performing will be placed in Top7 to Top9 position. (Were thinking of audit and peer review of fellow governors, all governors will be a voter and decide who will be retained in Top 6) **2nd election** is for **Top 7** and **Top 9** and this is open to everyone from the community and we will give the chance to others, but they need to meet a certain condition which are: - Governor should be a Filipino Citizen - Fluent in Filipino and English. - One Thousand (1,000) ONES in their designated wallet throughout their whole term as governor (can be staked in a validator) Why do we put the qualifications? - We will make sure that only Filipino is the governor and will not takeover by others. @frwrdslosh @Sam@giv@lij ---

It’s a great idea to overlap the terms. This is what most companies do with their Board members. [Next page](https://talk.harmony.one/t/harmony-philippines-dao/11569.md?page=2)
