Twala Takes the National Stage Twala stepped into the national conversation this week as Co-Founder and General Counsel Atty. Third Bagro sat down with Salve Ibañez on ANC's The Boardroom. The segment centered on a question with real economic weight: can digital notarization move the needle for a country still bound to paper, ink, and long lines at the notary's office? For Twala, a Philippine-built document intelligence platform combining artificial intelligence and blockchain technology, it was an opportunity to bring eNotarization out of the back office and into the national spotlight.

MAKATI CITY, Philippines — August 27, 2026 — Twala joined real estate industry leaders at the Chamber of Real Estate and Builders' Associations, Inc. (CREBA) 5th General Membership Meeting today, with Mr. Dwight Harold "Jiggy" Calucag, Twala's Director for Government Relations, appearing as Resource Person before CREBA's National Board and member-chapters at the Glass Pavillion, Dusit Thani Hotel, to walk the industry through what electronic notarization means for the way property transactions get closed in the Philippines.

The implementation of electronic notarization in the Philippines represents a major step toward modernizing legal processes. Through regulations issued by the Supreme Court of the Philippines, notarization is now permitted in a secure digital environment, provided that specific standards and roles are strictly followed. To fully understand how electronic notarization operates, it is essential to clarify three foundational components: the Electronic Notary Public (ENP), the Electronic Notary Facility (ENF), and the Electronic Notary Administrator (ENA).

Yes — electronic notarization is now officially legal in the Philippines, following the Supreme Court's approval of the Rules on Electronic Notarization (A.M. No. 24-10-14-SC). This reform, effective March 9, 2025, marks a major step in the country’s digital transformation, enabling secure and remote notarization of electronic documents.
