Last October 2-4, 2020, Filipino developers, engineers, technologists, designers, scientists, coders, storytellers, makers, builders, innovators, and entrepreneurs from Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao came together to address real-world problems on Earth and space by engaging with the United States space agency National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) free and open data, together with partner agencies like Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), National Centre for Space Studies (CNES) of France, the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), and the European Space Agency (ESA) in a virtual hackathon. Some of the projects developed include road hazard detection, data visualization tools, and machine learning for satellite image monitoring, and a lot more.
This year’s edition of NASA’s International Space Apps Challenge was held online due to the coronavirus pandemic situation worldwide. The theme of this year “Take Action” — is a critical reminder that anyone can make a difference, even from the comfort and safety of home. In this unprecedented time, the Space Apps community exists as a reminder that there the tools and talents to tackle challenges facing the planet, as well as the ability to unite across boundaries and borders of all kinds. Vice President Leni Robredo lauded this event as “our ability to gather ourselves, organize, and come together have opened the doors to technology and progress. We have done great things, cure diseases, find ways to connect with each another across the oceans, and even walked on the Moon… all thanks to mutual cooperation.”
The first Director-General of the Philippine Space Agency (PhilSA) Dr. Joel Joseph S. Marciano Jr. stressed the importance of space science in helping the society. “Space infrastructure, space data, and space-enabled services therefore help inform policies and decision-support systems that can lead us to better plan and decongest our cities, improve our transportation systems, monitor the state of infrastructure, enable better connectivity, enhance our agricultural and fisheries production, and protect our natural environment,” he said.
Since the start of Space Apps in the Philippines on 2016, the country witnessed on how the community grew from a group of volunteers to forging partnerships with collaborators and stakeholders. For many years, Filipinos collaborate and work with one another in developing projects to solve problems using space technologies. NASA and partner agencies recognized the hard work done by Filipinos, and thus being recognized and awarded globally as winners and finalists consecutively in the past three years. Software developer Michael Lance M. Domagas is optimistic that in these momentous and trying times, the country would still choose to prioritize and give value to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), especially in emerging fields like space science where innovators can contribute and solve the most pressing problems prevailing in the society and environment today.
“How could someone imagine that Earth-observation data coming from space could give us valuable and unique insights about the socio-economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic in various countries, and to pinpoint possible mosquito habitats which causes another epidemic called dengue? Why can’t we support our own modern-day heroes specializing in new and emerging technologies to address issues and help others in our country? NASA and partner agencies from other countries have already recognize the ingenuity of Filipinos for the past three years. Now is the proper time for our own country to recognize their achievements too,” Michael Lance said. Together with technology and developer community leader Tzar C. Umang from Pangasinan and U.S. cultural affairs officer Matt T. Keener, Michael Lance looks forward in having more Filipino winners and finalists being recognized, and to a more meaningful and impactful Space Apps challenge in the future years to come. The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) undersecretary for competitiveness and innovation Dr. Rafaelita “Fita” M. Aldaba, Analytics Association of the Philippines (AAP) president Colin Christie, former Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) undersecretary and University of the Philippines System Information Technology Foundation president Monchito B. Ibrahim, assistant professor and assistant chairman for administration, Department of Geodetic Engineering at the University of the Philippines and Sustained Support for Local Space Technology and Applications Mastery, Innovation and Advancement (STAMINA4Space) GRASPED project staff Dr. Czar Jakiri S. Sarmiento, part-time lecturer and technopreneurship/program manager at the Technological Institute of the Philippines (TIP) Nitro Erwin A. Lizarondo, senior consultant for data analytics for social impact at CirroLytix, Data Ethics PH, and COVID-19 challenge winner for the best use of data Nick Tobia, and Africa University chair educational technologies and United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) Space4Women mentor Ms. Basuti Gerty Bolo from Zimbabwe served as local judges in Manila.
“The Global Organizing Team is inspired by the journey the Philippines has with the Space Apps program. In particular, we appreciate the development of STEM in the Philippines and elsewhere, because one goal of Space Apps is to foster interest and learning in these fields worldwide,” said Matt Scott, the global community director and storyteller.
Contrary to what others may think, today’s “new normal” when it comes to learning and working from home is not just about choosing the right computer or the fastest internet connection.
There is still the need to print since Learning from Home (LFH) or Working from Home (WFH) is not entirely and purely 100% digital or virtual.
For students, there are learning modules that need to be printed, especially when there’s a school activity. For WFH parents and even young professionals who need to discuss reports like spreadsheets or office presentations, it is still relatively easier to read text or data from an actual paper printout compared to reading from a device.
But still, why print? It is because there may be families that can afford only one device at home, and they can’t read modules or reports if the device they have like a desktop or smartphone is the one used to communicate to teachers and classmates or officemates. To some, it may be logical to invest on a printer instead of another PC or smartphone because it would be more affordable.
However, it should not be just any printer brand. For the LFH and WFH bunch, the printer should be a quality brand and should have enough features to answer various remote learning and working situations. Something like an HP Smart Tank 515 All-in-One Wireless Printer from HP.
The HP Smart Tank 515 All-in-One Wireless Printer is the perfect device for homeschooling or work-from-home professionals out there. It’s Print, Copy and Scan features offer total versatility since school or office work can be printed for better readability in color or black and white, or even copied and scanned then sent back digitally.
It also has the HP Smart App that lets you print photos on your smartphone, or even download photos from social media accounts, from the cloud or Camera Roll gallery. Just download the HP Smart App to your mobile device so you can print practically anytime or anywhere, which is extremely beneficial especially for mobile parents who need to assist their kids for their most crucial school work even if they’re not at home.
Aside from being an intelligent printer, the HP Smart Tank 515 All-in-One Wireless Printer is absolutely perfect for any high-volume yet low-cost printing needs. Imagine being able to print a whopping up to 8,000 pages for color and 6,000 pages for black. That volume capacity alone makes the HP Smart Tank 515 All-in-One Wireless Printer a valuable and smart investment for any LFH or WFH printing needs.
The HP Smart Tank 515 All-in-One Wireless Printer comes with a set of individual HP GT53/GT53XL Color Original Ink Bottles set with Original HP Inks in Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black that’s easily refillable and replaceable that even kids can do it on their own if they see ink levels going low because of HP’s innovative spill-free refill system. And the individual ink bottles allow parents or users to just buy the color that’s actually needed.
These ink bottles are also so affordable (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow at P275 per bottle and Black at P330 per bottle) that it can’t make a noticeable dent on the family budget so one can print thousands of pages of school modules or office reports, all in quality prints, vivid color and striking detail that’s easier to read.
The HP Smart Tank 515 All-in-One Wireless Printer is definitely the smartest LFH or WFH investment in these trying times for the homeschooler or remote worker. Available for a remarkably reasonable and affordable price of only P9,295. Get it at Electroworld, PC Express and Silicon Valley near you!

Samsung Electronics, the world’s number one maker of gaming monitors[1], is set to make the next-generation Odyssey line-up available in the Philippines starting October 26, 2020.

This is the reason why the Odyssey G7 has been specifically designed to minimize visual fatigue by offering consistent brightness, contrast range, and color coordination from the center to each edge of the monitor.
With the Odyssey’s 240Hz refresh rate, gamers can now bid lag goodbye. Coupled with 1ms response time, precise mouse movement and blur-free frames are now possible, enabling smooth gameplay without motion blur.
