The underserved Filipino community in Cabanatuan City has been finding ways to make ends meet due to the economic impact of the pandemic. Last August, a group of them found an opportunity on Axie Infinity, a play-to-earn NFT game, and have managed to cash out from the game to pay the bills and support their families. Seeing their success with a short documentary to boot, more Filipinos have flocked the marketplace hoping to earn a living. As a result, Axie Infinity saw a sudden spike in value with more than 250,000 daily active players towards the end of June, most of them coming from the Philippines.
