The Philippines has long been recognized for having a big number of mobile phone users with approximately 74 million users as of 2019. However, compared to other nations, Filipinos are not so much known for developing mobile applications, despite having talented and creative software developers.
There are plenty of well-developed Filipino-made mobile applications to check (and download), such as these three featured:
TrashCash
Want to turn your trash into cash? TrashCash is your app!
Created by two Filipino software developers, TrashCash is an AI-based waste recognition application where users can turn their plastic trash into rewards.
According to TrashCash, Filipinos produce over 2 billion kilograms of plastics (worth roughly 12 pesos a kilo) every year. It is a recurring problem in our country that TrashCash is trying to help solve, one monetary reward at a time.
Despite being a startup application, TrashCash has partnered with different local government units and businesses to support their advocacy of educating Filipinos on the value and impact of their trash.
TrashCash is currently available on Android and is coming soon to iOS. You may visit their website and Facebook page for more information.
