Showcased during the culmination event of the Department of Science and Technology’s Project: PAGDAHAN in Muntinlupa were innovations and inventions made by Filipinos, who have since penetrated the global scene with their genius and creativity.
Here are 5 different noteworthy inventions to look out for:
1. QBX-SMAMade by Tekton GeoMetrix Inc, the QBX-SMA is a device that was made to be installed in commercial buildings. The machine’s purpose is to gather vibration data during earthquakes using highly sensitive sensors, which can immediately alert the building occupants about structural damage, corrective measures, and on-the-spot response to ongoing disasters.
The project is currently being used in some parts of the United States and El Salvador, and is now commercially available.

2. Parallax 3D
Parallax 3D is an engineering simulation system that uses mixed reality technology. Developed by Batangas State University and the National Engineering University, Parallax3D is an immersive platform for learning through a customized virtual laboratory.
Among its growing number of available virtual laboratories are biology laboratory (animal and plant cell), chemistry laboratory (distillation and filtration assembly), industry module (excavator control), and human anatomy.

3. Charging in Minutes (CharM) system
Established in 2019, the start-up company CHRG EV Technologies Inc. offers a Mode 4 fast-charging system of electric vehicles through lithium-ion battery technology, reducing a typical e-vehicles’ full charging time from 4-6 hours to only 30 minutes.
The station is ideal for charging e-trikes and e-jeepneys. The station comes complete with charging boxes, pods, vehicle control units and battery management systems.

4. Pili AdheSeal
The Pili Adheseal is a sealant with a non-toxic smell made of Pili Sap. The seal is strong enough to be used in aviation, and can even be converted into a fertilizer after use.
The seal had landed first prize at the 3rd China-ASEAN Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition.
