Why does this such an achievement did not been mentioned in the local media? I am from Cebu Philippines and I'm proud of what this students has achieved though their effort and continuous study with blockchain technology.
The media chooses the news that they want to broadcast and this might be one of those topics that they don't prefer to broadcast. And that's why you haven't this on local media news.
Another reason might be, they are not aware of this event and the achievement that these geniuses reached until now.
