Last April 26, I, together with my digital adviser Jopin Romero who is also a fintech player, led the first dialogue on enabling MSMEs, through the digital economy with government officials, fintech and e-commerce players. But to me, the biggest game changer is the digital economy which is also a disruptor for big businesses. Fonacier reported that most unbanked Filipinos have mobile phones that contribute to the increase in the number of people engaging in digital payments. We are glad that even the BSP has taken a huge step forward in digital payments as they have recently launched PESOnet and InstaPay. There are 1.2 million sari-sari stores in the country, a large industry we can all target.
