Presenting, Gabby Dizon

Have you ever heard the abbreviation “YGG”? Well, I think you have an idea about it but for the sake of those who don’t know let me tell you a bit about it.

YGG stands for yield Guild Games. It’s a decentralized gaming guild acquiring NFTs that bring about rewards from active players in the blockchain. According to Binance.com, YGG connects blockchain gamers all over the world with the hope of building a network of both players and investors helping each other to grow in the NFT games universe.

At the moment, there are more or less 27,000 YGG scholars throughout 24-plus countries, at least according to the report given by coins.ph

Meet the humble co-founder and CEO of YGG-Philippines, and the co-founder of the altitude games in 2014, Mr. Gabby Dizon. According to him, he sees YGG as a way to bridge the wealth gap.

Dizon graduated from Ateneo De Manila University in 2000 with a bachelor’s degree in management information systems. He starts working as a programmer and a web developer and then became a gameplay consultant. He also became a professor at different educational institutions in the Philippines.

Gabby co-founded the Anino mobile Inc. - a mobile gaming studio located in the Philippines in 2005. He also served as the president of the Flipside games in the Philippines.

He joined Boomzap Entertainment, a small independent game development studio in Manila, in 2009. They produced their own intellectual property, and that's exactly what Dizon wanted to achieve, he says proudly.

At last, in 2014, he founded the Altitude game which is intended to create and develop free-to-play (F2E) games in metro manila. However, the company struggled to raise the capital due to the local investors’ lack of knowledge about the business model for making local intellectual property. Despite the struggles, Mr. Dizon never gave up and manage to uplift everything.

“For the first time in my career, I felt like I was at the forefront of a trend by learning about smart contracts at the same time as almost everyone else in the world. You can be one of the world’s leading experts in a particular field and live in the Philippines,” he said.

Then, here comes the creation of YGG, he said that the guilds own the entities in this games-referring to the NFTs inside the metaverse. Additionally, Dizon said that they provide manpower to promote and populate the metaverse accepting applicants all over the world with a promise to give equal opportunities to all. “To me, it’s like populating a new nation like we populated America in the 1700s. We now populate a digital nation with people all over the world looking for a home,” he added.
