    PDRF Chief Resilience Officer Bill Luz expressed appreciation for the technological assistance given by SAP and SGV & Co. “Our COVID response has required us to send a wide of variety of items such as PPEs, ventilators, as well as providing meals to a large number of healthcare institutions all over the country. This technology enables us to manage our supply and deploy the resources in a timely manner to different organizations.”

    Meanwhile, SGV & Co. Chairman and Managing Partner Wilson Tan asserts the firm’s commitment to the development and implementation of the much-needed application.

    COVID-19 cases continue to rise in the Philippines which drive the continuing need for hospital supplies, medicine and PPE. Due to this, the PDRF continues to manage donations to address this need via its website.

    SAP Philippines Managing Director, Edler Panlilio expressed the importance of technology’s role in assisting in the country’s COVID-19 relief efforts. “SAP Customer Experience solutions go beyond the back-end to support NGOs such as the PDRF with intelligent technologies that can drive efficiency in facilitating the donations and providing access to necessary supplies,” Panlilio said. “This is an example of how we remain true to our purpose of helping Filipino enterprises including NGOs to run better and, thus, improve the lives of Filipinos.”

    Filipino startup recognized in addressing SDG’s using space tech

    The Undersecretary for Competitiveness and Innovation of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Dr. Rafaelita “Fita” M. Aldaba heartfeltly congratulates CirroLytix. “It’s indeed a blessing amid this pandemic and economic crisis that we are currently faced with,” she said.

CirroLytix’s current involvements include public health, human rights, fighting disinformation, education and food security.

    The Space Apps lead organizer in the Philippines Michael Lance M. Domagas appeals support for these Filipino winners. “How many times should these Filipino innovators and achievers need to win before being recognized and appreciated by our own country? To be recognized by not just one, but five space agencies is something has not yet been achieved by Filipinos, how much more of a multitude of countries and nations supporting the sustainable development goals of the United Nations?” He added that “The dengue epidemic and the COVID-19 is a real threat to the Philippine society right now, endangering health, well-being, livelihood, and most especially businesses and the national economy. If we could only learn how to give value to science, technology, mathematics, and engineering (STEM), the possibilities are endless. Our Filipino winners of Space Apps and GEO SDG Awards have taught us on how these space technologies greatly help in addressing epidemics and economic impact of COVID-19, its time to give them recognition and respect because they are Filipinos like us.” Winners shall be invited to visit NASA once travel is deemed safe, but unfortunately, travel, meals and incidental expenses, and accommodation expenses are not provided.

  • Filipinos developed solutions at home together with NASA

    Filipinos developed solutions at home together with NASA

    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 HP Smart Tank 515 All-in-One Wireless Printer: Your best and smartest companion for your home printing needs

    The HP Smart Tank 515 All-in-One Wireless Printer: Your best and smartest companion for your home printing needs

    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 Original Ink Bottles can also be ordered online for users’ convenience, especially in this pandemic. Just go to the through the following channels: HP Store at Lazada (Metro Manila) (https://tinyurl.com/FreeDeliveryLazada) , ICS at Lazada (Metro Manila and Visayas) (https://tinyurl.com/ICSLazada), Silicon Valley (Metro Manila) (https://www.siliconvalley.com.ph/hp/), Thinking Tools (Cebu) (https://www.facebook.com/ThinkingTools/) and WeSellIt for (Metro Manila) (https://www.wesellit.ph/hp-freedelivery) until October 31, 2020. (Per DTI Fair Trade Permit No. TFEB-104932 Series of 2020)

    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!
