Inventions, fresh techs for unveiling
The Department of Science and Technology, or DoST, will be introducing a range of new inventions, including clothing, sea transport and construction materials, in its National Science and Technology Week in November in Iloilo City. DoST Undersecretary Sancho Mabborang on Monday said the Philippine Textile Research Institute will present locally-made yarns and other fibers as part of the two major exhibits during the event which will run from 24 to 26 November. The textile institute told the Daily Tribune it aims to revive the textile industry to satisfy demand for clothes while protecting the environment. “Although garments are up, it is hugely dependent on imported yarns or fabrics,” Julius L. Leaño Jr., the institute’s director, said in June. 3.5% growth for clothing sector The clothing sales in the country can grow by 3.5 percent each year until 2027, while global sales of luxury clothes can reach $278 billion by 2031, more than double the $103 billion this year, according to global market researcher Statista. Mabborang added the other major exhibit will feature maritime vessels. “There will be a lot of inventions and activities,” he teased. Among them, he said, are engineered bamboos aimed at reducing the use of imported construction materials. “Stakeholders have said 80 percent of their wooden construction materials are imported,” Mabborang elaborated. He said another invention is a non-addictive adhesive developed by Mindanao’s Marawi State University in Iligan City. “It is an alternative to rugby which some poor Filipinos sniff like a drug,” Mabborang said. He added the science and technology week will be an opportunity for scientists and entrepreneurs to pitch their innovative solutions to government officials so they can obtain aid for product commercialization under DoST’s Smart and Sustainable Communities program. “This enables local government units to set up community laboratories where the products will be introduced and tested so we can determine their benefits to certain social problems,” Mabborang said. To spur innovations, he said the DoST plans to build planetariums and interactive science museums across the country to encourage the youth to build careers related to science, technology, engineering and math or STEM.

Samar biodiversity site seen
TACLOBAN CITY — A renewable energy company operating a small hydropower plant in Eastern Samar is set to start a five-year biodiversity program that includes planting four million giant bamboos in the periphery of Samar Island National Park. The Taft Hydro Energy Corporation, which operates a 16-megawatts hydro power plant at Barangay San Rafael in Taft, Eastern Samar, will start planting the bamboos in a 50-hectare pilot site with 10,000 bamboo clumps next week, 21 April, which is the eve of Earth Day celebration. THEC president Benjie Picardo said the company has found 19,000 hectares of contiguous land in Motiong, Samar where they will plant the 4-million bamboos within the next five years. The project is also envisioned to create a viable social enterprise for the residents in the area. “This will be a biodiversity program wherein 60 percent will be planted with bamboo and 40 percent with a variety of trees endemic in the area,” Picardo said. The company had a groundbreaking ceremony of the project earlier this month attended by officials of Samar provincial government, the local government unit and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources regional office. The pilot site, located at the once an insurgency hotbed in Canvais village, is a former site of the National Greening Program run by an association in the community. The greening, however, did not prosper due to the acidity of the soil and the trees planted only withered. Picardo said THEC has hired soil technologists that are now treating the area with soil conditioners to reduce soil acidity and make it fertile enough to grow bamboo. The project was initially scheduled for launching last February but got stalled as the company was looking for a large tract of contiguous land to have it. He added that the project needed a strategic location since, in the long run, it will also entail putting up a processing plant for bamboo engineering. “We looked for a contiguous area that is large enough that would warrant us to put up a processing plant for engineered bamboo and we found this in Motiong,” said Picardo, adding that the whole five-year project will cost around P8 billion. Picardo said the decision to go into bamboo planting and processing as one of its corporate social responsibility programs is anchored on the desire to help the worldwide campaign for climate change mitigation and provide a sustainable livelihood to the residents of the community where it operates.
