Manila, Philippines — February 13, 2026 — BYC, the company building the “truth layer” of the internet for the age of artificial intelligence, today announced a strategic partnership with Alerto PH, an Internet-of-Things (IoT) and AI-driven disaster response platform accelerated by the Philippine Department of Science and Technology (DOST).

The strategic partnership agreement was formally signed on February 4, 2026, marking the start of a collaboration that brings Alerto PH’s real-time environmental monitoring, early warning systems, and disaster intelligence into BYC’s Lumen Ecosystem.

Through this integration, verified disaster signals, incident reports, and environmental data can be authenticated, recorded, and distributed on-chain in real time. This enables governments, enterprises, and communities to act on trusted information during critical moments.

The initiative represents a major step toward bridging blockchain infrastructure with real-world public safety systems, positioning decentralized truth networks as mission-critical tools for climate resilience, humanitarian response, and disaster management.

“BYC continues to advance its mission of building the truth layer of the internet,” said Paul Soliman, Founder and CEO of BYC. “Through this partnership with Alerto PH, we’re integrating real-time environmental intelligence into our blockchain and AI agent framework. This allows verified disaster data to be immutably recorded and distributed, enabling faster, more trusted decision-making when it matters most.”

Alerto PH works directly with emergency, disaster, and public safety systems across multiple levels of government and communities.

“We share the same belief that technology should help governments deliver better, more reliable public service,” said Cristina Macaraig, Founder and CEO of Alerto PH. “At the scale of public safety, trust is critical. IoT security remains one of the biggest challenges, and blockchain plays an important role in establishing data integrity, accountability, and traceability. Combined with strong cybersecurity and device-level safeguards, this helps ensure emergency alerts and disaster intelligence meet the standards required for public service.”

By combining decentralized infrastructure with IoT telemetry and autonomous AI agents, the partnership aims to create a trusted pipeline of real-world data for both on-chain and off-chain decision-making.

The collaboration underscores BYC’s broader commitment to deploying blockchain and AI not only for digital trust, but also for real-world impact where transparency, speed, and accuracy can help save lives and protect communities.
