ICON Pinas Telegram chat is consistently ranked in the top 5 of Telegram Groups in the Philippines, based on combot data.

To boost engagement on our Facebook page, the ICON Pinas team has been promoting ICX News Ngayon Quiz Time, 1x per week (usually released on Saturday or Sunday coinciding with the latest episode of ICX News Ngayon), over the last few months.
Similar to our last report, for a given Quiz Time event, we are currently still seeing ~25-30 entries.
KPI #4: Successful launch of merchandise store
Current: Execution stage
As mentioned in the previous report, our team has been mostly focused on payment solutions during this reporting period. Although solid progress was made in this regard, our team unfortunately won’t be able to launch the live merchandise store this month, as there are still items that need to polished up.
On the website front (i.e., Articles, Videos, Blogs), we anticipate to be about 90% complete, with just minor refinements left to be made, and the addition of links/resources.
For example, under Articles, here’s what the News subsection looks like currently:
Similarly, for Tutorials and Guides:
In the Videos tab, here’s a subsection showing the episodes of ICX News Ngayon:
Also under the Videos tab, for ICON Pinas Community Events:
Barring any unforeseen surprises, we anticipate being able to launch the ICON Pinas website and merch store in February.
ICX News Ngayon Videos
Our team has published 4 new episodes of ICX News Ngayon since our last report.
