Manila, Philippines – The Filipino Inventors Society Multi-Purpose Cooperative
(FISMPC), supported by the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), continues
to spotlight Filipino innovation through its program INVENTREPINOY. In a recent
episode, the program welcomed Engr. Jimson Uranza, CEO of Lead Core Technology
Systems Incorporated, and Raymond Mark Bimbo Doran, President of Carlita R. Duran
Herbal Corporation, as featured guests.
During the segment, the guests discussed various opportunities and local inventions
that aim to contribute to community development and national progress. A major
highlight of the episode was the recent signing of a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA)
between FISMPC and RBS Software Solutions for the development of a mobile
application specifically designed for members of the cooperative.
The app will serve as a platform to streamline communication within the cooperative
and to showcase member programs, technologies, and products to a broader audience.
Key features of the app include a business matching system and an iPOPHL assistant
to support intellectual property concerns, especially for grassroots innovators. The
digital platform is seen as a critical step in scaling up the commercialization potential of
local inventions.
The MOA signing, held a day prior to the airing of the program, marked the formal
collaboration between FISMPC and RBS Software, with the participation of Engr.
Jimson Uranza as the new Vice Chair of FISMPC, FISMPC President Raymond Mark
Bimbo Doran, and RBS Managing Director Lemuel Aceron. The ceremony was
witnessed by Outsource Solution (DOS 1) President and CEO Gary Cayton, along with
members of the Board of Directors and Officers of the cooperative.
Several notable officials expressed their support for the program’s aim. Dr. Renato U.
Solidum Jr., Secretary of DOST, commended INVENTREPINOY for amplifying Filipino
innovations and reaffirmed the DOST’s commitment to advancing science and
technology. Engr. Sancho A. Maborrang, DOST Undersecretary, and Atty. Marion Ivy
Decena, Director of DOST-TAPI, both extended their full support to the program. Mr.
Nelson Santos, President of the Publishers Association of the Philippines, expressed
confidence in collaboration’s power to promote Filipino inventions globally. Popoy
Pagayon, Chairman of FISMPC, reinforced the cooperative’s dedication to providing
resources and visibility for inventors.
During the program, Engr. Uranza also shared information about promising renewable
energy technologies he encountered in Malaysia. These technologies are currently
being explored for potential partnership with the DOST, with the goal of launching
localized applications in the Philippines by June of this year—aiming to address both
economic concerns and gaps in the country’s renewable energy sector.
Through these initiatives, FISMPC reinforces its commitment to empowering Filipino
inventors by providing them with tools, platforms, and partnerships that can enhance the
visibility and viability of their innovations. (Nelson Santos)
