"Innovate or DIE"
Recent news at ABS CBN featured DOST saying that it a department at the forefront of innovation in the country. Its efforts though has been largely unnoticed.
Silently, it has been sparking many important development among inventors and entrepreneurs. We have a student now at the entrep elective whose job is to help inventors get on with new ventures and businesses. One of their initiatives now is fighting dengue. (Take note: it should be the Department of Health who should take the cudgels for this!) They had this idea of releasing genetically modified mosquitoes (whose offspring will lose wings and lose ability to fly - with Oxytec) and the anti OL kit. In some areas, they were able to bring down the cases of dengue from 300 to 0. And the OL kit only costs Pl0.00@ wow.
That is why Sen. Lacson wants more budget for DOST.
Congratulations to DOST and to RBF. More power.
