Manila, Philippines - Since World War II, Filipino women/Filipinas have played a significant role in the innovation system. Notable figures include Teódula Kalaw África, a Filipina chemist who contributed to the Philippine National Coconut Corporation and was the creative mind behind the popular snack and sinker “Nata De Coco”, and Maria Ylagan Orosa, the inventor of the beloved Filipino condiment “Banana Ketchup”.
Throughout history, Filipinas in innovation have made vital contributions to the country's development. As we celebrate National Women’s Month, it is essential to recognize and honor these achievements by sharing valuable lessons learned from our modern Filipina inventors and innovators.
