After completing its iris scanning verification process in Plaridel, Bulacan on February 12, 2025, Worldcoin has now moved its activities to another municipality in the province.
What’s the Significance? This is a confirmation that Worldcoin verification in the Philippines will continue for the foreseeable future.
The New Worldcoin Verification Spot
In a post on a Facebook group named “CryptoBasurero,” user Nikko Tigas II shared that the iris scanning verification process is now at Amana Waterpark, Pandi, Bulacan.
How to Get Verified
According to the user:
- No proof of residency or valid ID is required.
- Users need to generate a QR code in the World app.
- Participants must line up for iris scanning to complete the process.
Other Facebook users, including Tanya Tonyo from the WORLD COIN TRADE group, have also confirmed that the verification activity is happening at the resort.
Meanwhile, an anonymous Facebook user posted in a group “LEGIT AHON PANDI” and shared that the iris scanning is available from 9 AM to 12 PM daily and will continue for nine days. However, the exact last date for verification in Pandi has not been disclosed.

Cash-Out Services in Pandi, Bulacan
Similar to what happened in Plaridel, cash-out services are available in Pandi, Bulacan, allowing participants to convert their $WLD tokens into cash.
How Cash-Out Services Work
- Cash-out providers buy $WLD and send cash via GCash or hand over physical money.
- Participants do not need a verified PDAX account to sell their tokens through these informal services.
- The Worldcoin organizing team recommends having a PDAX account, as $WLD is supported on the exchange.
- Participants must pay a fee for using third-party cash-out services.
- Cash out services are being offered through online posts in Facebook Groups “RESIDENCE3 BARANGAYMAPULANG LUPA, PANDI BULACAN,” “PANDI BULACAN NETIZEN,” “WORLD COIN TRADE,” AND “LEGIT AHON PANDI.”
Warning: Potential Scams in Cash-Out Services
Meanwhile, a crypto influencer with a YouTube name, “The Homebase Edit,” warned participants that there are scammers that introduce themselves as cash-out service providers.
- The modus operandi, according to his content, of scammers is they will act as “helpers” and will offer to a participant that they will help the participant grow their $WLD.
- For this to happen, the participant needs to transfer their assets to the helpers.
- But once the $WLD has been sent, the scammer will run away.
- He also warned that there are cash-out services that buy $WLD from verified participants for ₱1,200, when it should be more than ₱2,500.
Key Statements From Concerned Entities About Worldcoin Activities in Bulacan Province
Different entities have already given their statements regarding the ongoing iris scanning verification process of Worldcoin in different municipalities in Bulacan.
- Tools for Humanity, the developer of the World app, confirmed in a BitPinas inquiry that the activities in Bulacan are part of its “closed beta” operations in partnership with a local entity.
- The National Privacy Commission, a local independent data privacy watchdog, said in an email to BitPins that it does not approve or clear activities related to personal data processing but provides Certificates and Seals of Registration.
- Web3 Bulacan, a local blockchain organization, clarified it has no ties to the ongoing Worldcoin registration and airdrop event in the province.
- PDAX, a local crypto exchange, emphasized exclusively told BitPinas that it does not have any partnership with Worldcoin.
- However, because $WLD is one of the assets available on the exchange, PDAX community managers are on site to provide assistance to ensure that customers have access to support on the ground.
