ABOUT US
The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) is mandated to provide the central direction, leadership,
and coordination of scientific and technological efforts in the country. In order to ensure that world-class
scientific, technological, and innovative solutions are delivered, the Republic Act 10055 or the “Philippine
Technology Transfer Act of 2009” was enacted and mandated the DOST to adopt appropriate policies and
procedures to make government-funded technologies and innovations available to the public.
Pursuant to this mandate, the Technology Application and Promotion Institute (TAPI) serves as the lead agency
of the DOST in technology promotion and commercialization strategies. TAPI spearheads the conduct of
activities that gathers key stakeholders in various sectors to ensure the transfer of technologies and innovations,
which are designed to empower the local industries and advance the global competitiveness of Philippine
products and services.
Hence, the TAPI is conducting the Technology Transfer Day since 2016. It is a strategy wherein the licensors such
as the technology generators, innovators, and researchers can systematically transfer government-funded
technologies to its desired end-users like the entrepreneurs, investors, government agencies, local government
units, and non-government organizations.
For almost two years, the Technology Transfer Day serves as a venue for licensors and end-users to negotiate
the adoption and commercialization of various DOST-funded technologies. With its commitment to improve
the process of technology adoption, the TAPI is now conducting two activities before the event: Regional
Offices meet Technology Generators (ROs meet TechGens) and Technology Generators meet Chief Executive
Officers (TechGens meet CEOs). These two activities aim to discuss the processes and technologies more
comprehensively as well as to identify and address the needs of the target end-users prior to the actual
Technology Transfer Day.
As part of the awareness strategies of the project, various marketing collaterals are produced such as this
booklet to further promote the technologies. This booklet features DOST-funded and generated technologies
from the sectoral councils of DOST namely: Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources
Research and Development (DOST-PCAARRD), Philippine Council for Industry, Energy, and Emerging
Technology Research and Development (DOST-PCIEERD), and Philippine Council for Health Research and
Development (DOST-PCHRD).

ABTV Diagnostic Kit

The Philippines is the leading producer of abaca, one of the world’s in demand natural fiber. However,
the production of abaca has been declining due to the prevalence of diseases in abaca plants. To
prevent further loss in the production, one of the innovations developed is the diagnostic kit for the
detection of Abaca Bunchy Top Virus (ABTV).
The technology is based on the principle of Dot-ELISA (Enzyme Link Immunosorbent Assay). The primary
component of the diagnostic kit is the antiserum generated to specifically detect the presence of the
virus. The generated antibody can detect infection even in the lowest concentration.

ACTIcon™ Biopesticide for

Cavendish Banana
The Philippines is the most stable export market of
Japan for cavendish bananas. With the easing of
tariff rates on banana exports, banana growers can
take advantage of this chance to take a greater
share in the market. However, controlling a deadly
disease in cavendish bananas may hinder local
banana growers from realizing this potential.
ACTICon is a biopesticide product for controlling

Fusarium wilt or Panama disease, which commonly
attacks Cavendish bananas. The disease is caused
by the fungal pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f.sp
cubense (Foc), and the strain of this fungus Tropical
race 4 (TR4) cannot be controlled using fungicides
nor eradicated using fumigants. ACTICon is a
mixture of actinomycetes or microbes naturally
occurring in soil that have shown activity against
this fungal pathogen. Field trials have shown 24-

Automatic Surface Feeder
With the abuse of some humans to nature,

ecosystems are distorted. However, it is with
the brilliance of humans through technologies
developed that ecosystems are also restored.
A way to restore an ecosystem is to support the
base of the food chain.
The automatic feeder is designed to distribute

feeds at the water surface. The unit has a
straight feed spreader to cover a larger area
when feed is dispensed. Automatic feeders
are used to reduce production cost (through
reduced labor cost), improve product quality,
and minimize waste by maximizing feed
utilization.

semen extender for goat

Backyard raisers comprise 98% of the total goat raisers
in the country, and many of them are not able to
use superior breeds of bucks for stock improvement.
Technologies, such as artifcial insemination (AI), allows
for semen processing and storage to enable raisers to
use superior breeds for livestock production.
The Semen Extender for Goat was developed with

soybean lecithin as the source of non-penetrating
cryoprotectant in lieu of eggyolk. It is very effective
in lengthening the viability of the goat spermatozoa
under refrigerated storage from 48 to 110 hours and
increasing post thaw motility to as high as 60%. With
this semen extender technology, even backyard
raisers can use superior bucks at an affordable cost for
the production of improved stocks.

AXIS KNEE SYSTEM
Patients with severe knee damage usually caused by arthritis or injury are in need of total knee
replacement (TKR). This may require a surgical procedure, and an operation like this in the Philippines is
extremely expensive and complex that only few surgeons are trained to do.
Good thing, the Axis Knee System is an affordable, high-quality and FDA-approved total knee
preplacement system specifically designed for Asians. Its instrumentation and surgical technique allows
surgeons to perform the procedure accurately, eliminating the possibility of implant failure.

Ulasimang-bato
FOR hyperuricemiA
With the growing trend of health conscious consumers, there is a similar increasing trend for herbal
medicines in the market. With the abundance of natural resources in the Philippines, researchers take
advantage of the readily available herbal plants to develop herbal medicines for maintaining and
improving health.
Pepper elder or locally known as Ulasimang bato (Peperomia pellucida) is an herbal plant that decreases
the serum uric acid levels with an average drop of up to 78% in two weeks of oral intake. More than 85%
of the patients treated with Ulasimang bato also experienced satisfactory pain relief from joint pains and
did not experience “rebound” hyperuricema. Its analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-hyperuricemic
properties makes ulasimang bato a viable alternative for Allopurinol, the common medication for
hyperuricema and gout.

Yerba Buena as
analgesic
As early as ancient civilization, herbal medicines have
been used to treat common diseases. Today, traditional
medicines have been replaced by drugs and brand
medications, which commonly cause unpleasant side
effects. That’s why, some people still go back to herbal
medicines as an alternative medicine for their sickness.
