TARC Auditorium, UST
In PCIEERD, we take innovation as the core business of our
activities. It is that activity that induces each one of us to give
the best in our respective tasks. It is also innovation from
which all our programs are hinged on, whether in research
and development, human resource and institution building,
policy making, maintaining and creating new networks,
information dissemination, as well as in dealing with all our
publics, the media included.

Innovation is Filipino “diskarte” in coming up with better,
more creative and intuitive solutions to the needs of society
and in contributing to our nation’s development.
Dec 3
This has become the buzzword not only in the science
community where research and development spur
innovations, but in the whole spectrum of human activity. For
example, in social media, innovation is the key to becoming
in sync with the whole wide world with no restrictions of
time and distance. Innovation is the application of better
solutions that meet new requirements, in articulated needs
or existing market needs. This is accomplished through more
effective products, processes, services, technologies, or ideas
that can be made readily available to markets, government
and society.
Hence, our Pinoy Innovations newsletter is one of our
“diskarte”. Pinoy Innovations will inform everyone about
good news in the PCIEERD’s sectors: industry, energy,
emerging technology, and special concerns such as disaster
management and environment. Pinoy Innovations is also
about PCIEERD and the men and women in our organization,
who serve as catalysts for innovations to take place for a
better, smarter Philippines.
We believe that science and technology can make the country
develop industrially, but it is innovations that will make our
country great. With this, we look forward to 2014 and beyond
with the hope that innovation becomes every Juan’s business
and totally embraced as part of everyone’s existence.

PCIEERD APPOINTS NEW CHIEF
FOR ITS ENERGY DIVISION
After almost 3 months of serving as officer-in-charge, Engr. Nonilo Peña has been
promoted as new Chief of the Council’s Energy and Utilities Systems Technology
Development Division (EUSTDD). He took his oath before Executive Director Dr. Rowena
Cristina L. Guevara witnessed by Deputy Executive Director Engr. Raul C. Sabularse and
the Division staff. Engr. Peña replaced Engr. Darwin M. Rosales who retired in October 2013.
Engr. Peña started as Science Research Specialist I, of the same Division, when he joined
PCIERD in 1988. He rose from the ranks and was promoted as Supervising SRS in 1995. He
maintained this position until the PCIERD-PCASTRD merger to PCIEERD in 2010. Before
joining PCIERD, he was a Field Engineer for 2 years in Atlantic, Gulf & Pacific (AG&P),
an industrial process outsourcing (IPO) company providing fabrication and assembly,
modularization and asset management
services to the oil & gas, mining,
power and civil infrastructure sectors.
With his vast experience and expertise
in energy, he has represented the
country in international official missions
and meetings on energy, transport and
disaster management S&T cooperation
and deliver various technical papers
in
international seminars like
the Global Center of Excellence
Symposium on Energy Science in the
Age of Global Warming in Japan in 2009. He also served as the National Focal Person
for the ASEAN Subcommittee on Non-Conventional Energy Research (SCNER) and was
designated as Chairman in 2008. On the side, his very approachable attitude made him a
popular choice among his peers to lead the Council’s Employees Association several times.
Engr. Peña took his Mechanical Engineering degree from the Mapua Institute of Technology
and his Master in Technology Management from the University of the Philippines. He
acquired his professional license in 1986. Moreover he had training at the Asian Institute
of Technology (AIT) in Thailand in 1990, took Energy Management and Training Course
in Japan (1992). He also had a study meeting on Development of New Energy Sources
in 1996, underwent the Program on Energy Conservation Technology Capacity Building
in Japan, and Capacity Building on Technology Transfer in Australia in 2003. Recently,
he had training on New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization.
As the new Chief, Engr. Peña said he will continue leading the EUSTDD in its mission
to “lead and partner with public and private institutions in generating sectoral S&T
plan, policies, strategies and science-based information to address national needs and
contribute to economic development.”
With his 25 years experience in PCIEERD in exercising management and supervisory
responsibilities and his “silent waters run deep” but approachable mien, Engr. Peña
indeed energizes not only EUSTDD but PCIEERD as a whole.

TAB OF EMPLOYEES’
ADVANCEMENT
The barcode system was first used by the
Philippine Council for Industry, Energy
and Emerging Technology Research and
Development (PCIEERD) for its incoming
and outgoing communications which was
later on adopted by other DOST agencies to
be able to retrieve records quickly and more
efficiently.
This year, the PCIEERD looked into its records
management system by studying records’
life cycle – from creation to final disposition.
In partnership with the Philippine Records
Management Association (PRMA), the
PCIEERD conducted the Records Information
and Management training held at the NAST
conference hall on October 23-24, 2013
participated by the Council’s records section,
accounting staff, science research assistants,
and technical monitors.
The two day workshop was packed with
information about systematic and effective
records management. It was delivered by
3 speakers from PRMA: Ms. Remedios
Ballesfin, former Assistant Manager at the
International Rice Research Institute (IRRI)
and a certified Microsoft Office Specialist;
Ms. Apolonia Talatala, Chief Admin. Officer
at the UP Los Baños Records Management
Office; and, from the same institution, Mr
Allyson Calapine, Admin. Officer V.
The training also covered record keeping
principles and practices on how these
combine to form a records management
program as outlined in ISO 15489. The
International
Standard
on
Records
Management or ISO 15489 was designed to
meet the ongoing generic needs for recordkeeping in a business environment, and is
used in government and non-government
organizations.

ELECTRONICS EXPORTS BY SECTOR
DOST PUTS UP PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT CENTER
FOR THE ELECTRONICS INDUSTRY
The
electronics industry has been
considered as one of the leading
industries in the Philippines with its
historical 60-70% contribution or 2/3 of
export revenues every year. In 2010, the
Philippine electronics reached US$31B in
revenues that can skyrocket to US$50B
by 2016 with a more conducive business
environment and additional facility
support.
However, the country has long been
focusing on the assembly of end products
for foreign manufacturers. This lowers
the cost of labor but in order to move up
the global value chain, the industry has
to establish local test laboratories and
facilities that will also draw the attention
of local professionals in product design,
development, and prototyping.
For these reasons, the DOST has laid the
foundation for the Electronics Product
Development Center (EPDC) – a facility
that will be helpful to technopreneurs,
electronics companies, BPOs and other
members of the supply chain, academe
and training institutions, engineers and
technicians’ associations, government
facilities and services, industrial parks,
venture capitalist, SMEs, OEMs, ODMs,
and resellers. According to Engr.
Peter Antonio B. Banzon, Advanced
Science and Technology- Research &
Development Division (ASTI-RDD) Chief
and EPDC Project Leader, “The objective
of the facility is to help the industry or the
academe to bridge the gap from their idea
to a working prototype.”
The EPDC will house hardware and
software tools that can be used to design,
test and develop locally-made electronic
products compliant with world-class
standards, while reducing the cost and
time of end-product development to cater
to the increasing demand of end-users in
the community.
During the groundbreaking ceremony
for the EPDC last December 3, 2013, Dr.
Rowena Cristina L. Guevara, PCIEERD
Executive Director, said “we would like
our local companies to be able to use
this (EPDC) so that they will grow big
and they will have more companies and
maybe mapauwi yung mga OFWs natin
na nagdedesign sa ibang bansa.”
Electromagnetic compatibility and safety
test, printed circuit board prototyping and
fabrication, and product prototyping are
the three facilities EPDC will provide to
the industry or the academe.
Dir. Denis Villorente, ASTI Director, said
that, “EPDC has been designed to adjust
to industry requirements as it continues
to evolve towards greater advancements
of the sector.” The EPDC shall conduct
technical training to diversify the skills
of our local manpower and engineering
graduates who would not need to go
abroad and insulate us against risks of
having a monoculture.
The establishment of the EPDC is a
significant step in transitioning from
assembly to design and development that
will boost the capability of electronics and
semiconductor sectors and help increase
foreign investments in the said areas.
In his message during the activity, Engr.
Alexander Sy, President of the Electronic
Industry Association of the Philippines
Inc. (EIAPI) said “When DOST mentioned
that they will put up a product design
center, every member got very excited. We
hope that the center can cater to all of us
and as an association we are hopeful that,
the Center will be utilized as a catalyst
in making the industry grow towards the
finished product sector.”
The EPDC building, to be situated at
the Metals Industry Research and
Development Center (MIRDC), is expected
to operate in May 2014.

DISASTER MANAGEMENT
PROJECT NOAH
LIDAR-PRODUCED 3D MAPS FOR
FLOOD-PRONE PH BASINS NOW
AVAILABLE
The
In response to President Aquino's
instructions to put in place a responsive
program for disaster prevention and
mitigation, specifically, for the Philippines'
warning agencies to be able to provide a
6 hour lead-time warning to vulnerable
communities against impending floods and
to use advanced technology to enhance
current geo-hazard vulnerability maps,
the Nationwide Operational Assessment
of Hazards (NOAH) was launched by the
Department of Science and Technology.
Mission
The Nationwide Operational Assessment
of Hazards (NOAH) program team will
collaborate with government agencies to
promote and integrate advanced science and
technology to enhance disaster management
and prevention capacity of the Philippine
government. These include: the deployment
of instruments and state-of-the-art methods
to construct high resolution hazard maps
that are relevant to the community and
local government units; delivery of readily
accessible, timely and accurate hazards
information through various media and
communication platforms; disaster
research and development; integration of
disaster efforts by the national government,
academe and civil society organizations;
and application of a bottom-up approach by
communities to resilience against disasters.
Vision
To assure homeland security by reducing
casualties and property loss from extreme
hazard events and build disaster resilient
communities in the Philippines by way of
establishing research and development
platforms and the promotion of frontier
science and technology in disaster efforts.
To become a world leader in programs
that leverage on advanced science and
technology to mitigate the impacts of natural
hazards.
DREAM has come
true. This is the message
that the Disaster Risk and
Exposure
Assessment
for Mitigation (DREAM)
Program team wants to
convey in finally coming up
with 3-dimensional hazard
maps of flood-prone areas
in the Philippines using
LiDAR technology.
The
DREAM
team
launched
the
LiDARproduced products as tools
for disaster management
on October 17, 2013 at
the National Engineering
Center (NEC) in UP
Diliman. About 100 local
government units (LGUs),
which are the main users
of the 3D maps, witnessed
the launching activity.
Dr. Enrico C. Paringit,
DREAM Program Leader,
reported that DREAM
has completed the threedimensional (3D) maps for
the 17 of the 18 flood-prone
river basins in the country
since its maiden flight in
November 2012 at Clark
Air Base.
The areas with completed
LiDAR-produced maps are
Iponan, Iligan, Mandulog,
Pampanga,
Marikina,
Davao Oriental, including
the Sendong and Pablo hit
areas – Cagayan de Oro
and Compostela Valley.
The data used in the flood
models and outputs were
from
Project
NOAH’s
700
weather
sensors
strategically
installed
across the country with an
incorporated flood early
warning system.
During the
stakeholders’ meeting,
the Department
of Science and
Technology (DOST)
distributed the LiDAR
software including
the user’s license
and manual, compact
disc format of digital
terrain and surface
models, flood hazard
maps and LiDAR data
guide to LGUs from
the identified floodprone areas.
The DREAM used the Light
Detection and Ranging
(LiDAR) equipment to
capture
and
generate
high-resolution and up-todate maps. Accordingly,
LiDAR is an instrument
that directly measures 3D
configuration of the Earth’s
surface. It is an airborne
mapping technique, which
uses a laser to measure
the distance between the
survey aircraft and the
ground surface, including
buildings and other assets
(above ground pipelines,
highways, street feature,
power lines, railway tracks),
as well as vegetation.
This technique is now
commonly accepted as
the
most
powerful
technique for delivering
highly accurate height
data in a timely and costeffective manner. LIDAR
data can be utilised
for many applications,
including: flood modelling,
infrastructure
planning,
archaeological
surveys,
urban
visualisation
Emergency
planning,
environmental monitoring,
risk assessment, urban
design
&
planning,
agricultural assessment,
asset planning, and wind
farm site selection. It was
in November 2011 that
DREAM started using the
LiDAR equipment.
The DREAM is under
DOST’s Project NOAH
(Nationwide Operational
Assessment of Hazards).
Dr. Paringit said that
DREAM empowers the
local government units in
having the capability of
identifying calamity-prone
areas and coming up with
life-saving decisions for
their locality.
Since DREAM only covered
1/3 of the Philippines, it was
announced that there is
already a plan to continue
the LiDAR mapping of 2/3
of the country and will
include other universities
to broaden the capability
of using LiDAR technology.
It is expected that the
flood models for areas
that have been covered be
completed by December
2014.

ATENEO USHERS UNMANNED
AERIAL VEHICLES FOR
DISASTER RISK REDUCTION
The
Philippine Council for Industry,
Energy and Emerging Technology
Research and Development (PCIEERD)
is supporting a project of the Ateneo de
Manila University (AdMU) that will bring in
new remote sensing capability in critical
infrastructure surveillance, precision
agriculture and disaster risk reduction.
Combined with a national IT platform,
unmanned aerial vehicles or UAVs are
multi-role assets and platforms that
enable research in new science and
technology to tackle the problems
in agriculture, disaster science and
environmental
sustainability,
and
infrastructure particularly bridge and road
network planning.
Led by Dr. Nathaniel J.C. Libatique of the
AdMU’s Ateneo Innovation Center, the
PCIEERD-GIA funded project entitled,
“Design and Development of Aerial
Mapping and Imaging Systems and
Standards” aims to build the capability
to engage in airborne-remote sensing
using UAVs for monitoring the integrity
of critical facilities and infrastructure
development of low-cost systems.
The results will be used for precision
agriculture and for disaster science
research and development, initially for
Luzon and Visayas with the partner
state universities and colleges (SUCs).
The project also aims to integrate UAV
technologies and aerial mapping into
a single system for mission-specific
applications.
The project team has initially conducted
surveillance in the aftermath of the 7.2
Mg earthquake in Bohol last October
15, 2013. This is one of the significant
flight missions of the project – to
assist the Quick Response Team (QRT)
of PHIVOLCS in mapping the newly
discovered fault system in the island. A
compact three-man UAV aerial spotting
and mapping team 8-kilometer aerial
survey located the extension of the
surface rupture. The aerial images
are now being post-processed and
image calculation workflows are being
developed for automated seismic fault
feature detection and extraction.
In the project, 28 missions have been
flown and generated UAV-captured
maps, namely: 1) Aerial imaging of fish
pen coverage including domestic and
economic activity that can impact water
quality at Lake Palakpakin, San Pablo
City, Laguna, 2) Aerial mapping of newly
risen seismic fault system in Bohol island,
3) Baseline mapping for studies on river
erosion, sedimentation, land use and
flooding in Aklan River, Panay Island, and
4) Critical infrastructure and change in
land use in Javier, Leyte
The Commission on Higher Education
(ChEd) is co-implementing and cofunding this project.

MICROFLUIDICS
RESEARCH TAKES OFF
IN CEBU CITY
The PCIEERD is currently supporting
efforts towards developing capabilities in
microfluidics which is an application of a
set of technologies in miniaturized systems
involving chamber geometrics used to
investigate fluid dynamics in the micro- and
nanometer scale. The Council approved the
research program proposed by the University
of San Carlos (USC) with a funding of P7M to
be conducted for 3 years.
According to Dr. Rommel Bacabac, SVD, USC
Physics Department’s Chair and Program
Leader, the project will develop human
resource with the capability of developing
instrumentation for investigating the
microrheology of biopolymers and networks.
With collaborative scientific efforts across
disciplines at the University specifically with
Dr. Josephine Castañares of the Chemistry
Department and Dr. Frances Edillo of the
Biology Department, the program will
design microfluidic chambers for mixing
multi-component gels and fast elasticity
characterization of living cells through
hands-on experiments.
During the past few years microfluidics found
its way to the ink-jet printer manufacturing
industry — via microfluidics devices delivering
minute amount of inks from the printer to
the paper. With recent innovations however,
microfluidics application is moving out of the
office to the laboratories as it finds use in
biotechnology, diagnostics, assays, defense,
pharmaceuticals, public health, agriculture
and many other applications.
Potential commercial value is anticipated
from applications of the research results
such as "lab-on-a-chip" devices, diagnostics
and sensors.
The research program is part of USC’s
initiative at developing capabilities in
Medical Biophysics in support of DOST's
Five Point Program, by harnessing
emerging technologies to boost national
competitiveness and finding relevant
applications in industry and health.
