The message by the Philippine Blockchain Week, sent by community members, hinted at the steps it is doing with regards to the fake Miss Universe Coin announced during the event.

The deleted message reads:

The organizers of PBW appreciate the concerns and feedback of the community and want to assure you that we take this matter seriously.

At PBW, our primary goal is to provide an inclusive platform for the blockchain and cryptocurrency community to exchange ideas and foster the growth of web3 in the Philippines.

We are currently in contact with all parties involved and will update everyone as soon as possible. Thank you for your continued support in making our web3 ecosystem safe and secure for all of us.

This exchange of conversation no longer appears on the Telegram channel.

A variation of this message now appears in Philippine Blockchain Week’s social media page:

The organizers have not mentioned names of “all the parties involved” as stated above, but mentioned updating the community.

The Philippine Blockchain Week, which ran from September 19 to 21, 2023, featured discussions on blockchain, fintech, the metaverse, regulation, AI, privacy, and DeFi. However, controversy emerged upon the discovery of “Miss Universe Coin” being presented during the event.

Some of the benefits of Miss Universe Coin are as follows:

• Access to events
• Gifts to “cheer up” contestants via the MU FC PLatform
• Voting

Miss Universe Coin is set to be “positioned to outshine SHIB”, referring to the meme cryptocurrency with a current market capitalization of $4.3 billion.

On Saturday, the parent company of the Miss Universe brand, Thailand-based JKN Global Group, issued a stern statement, denying any involvement with Miss Universe Coin and vowing to pursue legal action.

This is a developing story.
