Imagine a technology that can transform water from different sources—lakes, rivers, springs, deep wells, and even rain—into water that is clean and safe to drink for everyone, everywhere.

Good thing this technology is already a reality and now available in the Philippines, thanks to Rodrigo Duque and his award-winning innovation.

Up-and-coming inventors in the Philippines don’t have to look far for wisdom and guidance in their innovation journey.  They can look up to veteran Filipino inventors, who have weathered the challenges of developing and championing their technologies at a time when there were just a few of them and before everyone was connected to the internet.

Despite the limitations of their generation, these seasoned inventors found their ally through the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) and its Technology Application and Promotion Institute (TAPI).

For more than three decades, DOST-TAPI has long been supporting and working with researchers, technologists, and innovators through its suite of government services that provide technical, financial, and legal assistance in developing local inventions.
