DOST Siquijor recently conducted a Manufacturing Productivity Extension (MPEX) monitoring visit with our MSME beneficiaries under the technology upgrading program across the province. Sitting down directly with our local entrepreneurs allows us to see firsthand how our scientific and technological interventions are making a tangible difference on the production floor.

Through MPEX monitoring, we ensure that the technical assistance provided actively translate to optimized operations, higher-quality products, and sustainable business growth. We are incredibly proud of our MSME partners for their dedication to excellence and their vital role in strengthening the local economy.

DOST Siquijor was deeply honored to assist the DOST Philippine Council for Health Research and Development (PCHRD) team in successfully conducting the National Scoping and Needs Assessment Initiative Under the Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Adaptation in Health (DRR-CCAH) R&D Programs on September 24, 2026.

Working hand-in-hand with LGU Larena and the Provincial Government of Siquijor, this crucial initiative helps us deeply understand our community's unique health needs and vulnerabilities in the face of climate challenges.

True disaster resilience requires science, collaboration, and a shared commitment to protecting our people. We extend our sincerest gratitude to the local leaders, health officers, and community members who made this vital assessment a success.

It is always an inspiring experience to witness the creativity and dedication of our local youth. Recently, we at the DOST Siquijor Provincial Science and Technology Office (PSTO) had the privilege of welcoming the bright minds of Siquijor Provincial Science High School right here at the Innovation Hub of Siquijor.

The students took the floor to pitch their science investigatory projects, fresh innovations, and research papers. Our team was more than happy to sit down with them, listen to their ideas, and share constructive, professional feedback. We focused on helping them refine their research methods, tighten their data, and see the real-world applications of their hard work.

Seeing their passion for science reminds us exactly why we do what we do. By bridging the gap between classroom concepts and practical application, we hope to equip these young researchers with the tools and confidence they need to create meaningful solutions for our community.

The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) Siquijor Provincial Science and Technology Office actively participated in the "Handog ng Pangulo Serbisyong Sapat Para sa Lahat" today, September 14, 2026, at the Dagukanan sa Kapitolyo in Polangyuta, Siquijor. To maximize community reach, the agency established an information booth detailing core developmental initiatives, including DOST-SEI Undergraduate Scholarships, the Small Enterprise Technology Upgrading Program (SETUP), Local Grants-in-Aid (GIA), and Community Empowerment Thru Science and Technology (CEST). Alongside the dissemination of these program frameworks, the team conducted an essential orientation on the Hazard Hunter PH platform, empowering residents with localized hazard assessment tools to strengthen disaster risk reduction and management awareness.

Complementing these educational efforts, DOST Siquijor facilitated direct public engagement by distributing technology-backed food products that highlight the practical impact of DOST research on health and local enterprise. Participants received samples of the Enhanced Nutribun, a highly nutritious product formulated by the DOST Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI) and manufactured by Jainin's Cakes and Pastries, a licensed local producer. Furthermore, attendees were provided with complimentary servings from Tating's Ice Cream, serving as a tangible showcase of a successful micro, small, and medium enterprise (MSME) that has elevated its productivity and competitiveness through the technological interventions of the DOST SETUP initiative.

The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) - Siquijor Provincial Science and Technology Office (PSTO) recently welcomed student researchers from the Siquijor Provincial Science High School (SPSHS) at the DOST Siquijor Innovation Hub.

During the consultative visit, the promising young minds from SPSHS showcased their draft research paper. The DOST Siquijor PSTO team, under the leadership of Provincial S&T Director (PSTD) Macbeth S. Dal, conducted a review of their work. The team provided feedback, insights, and recommendations to further improve the students' research methodology.

Recognizing the critical financial requirements of conducting rigorous scientific studies, PSTD Dal personally turned over a financial assistance worth PHP 10,000.00 to the SPSHS research team. This funding, paid out of pocket by PSTD Dal, will directly finance the laboratory testing phases of their research, ensuring they have the necessary resources to achieve accurate and reliable results.

The Department of Science and Technology - Negros Island Region (DOST NIR) conducted a capacity-building session for the DOST Siquijor team. The goal was practical: to improve how we assess technology needs by using Artificial Intelligence (AI) responsibly.

In both the public and private sectors, AI is becoming a powerful tool for analyzing data and streamlining processes. This training equipped DOST Siquijor personnel with the right frameworks to use AI safelyโ€”ensuring that data privacy, security, and client confidentiality are always strictly protected. By integrating these tools ethically, the DOST team can more accurately identify the specific operational challenges and technology requirements of local businesses.

Immediately following the training, the DOST Siquijor team applied these new skills in the field. Personnel conducted one-on-one Technology Needs Assessments (TNA) with local micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs).

Spearheading the activity was DOST NIR Regional Director Dr. Naomi Cossette R. Luis ably supported by DOST NIR Assistant Regional Director for Technical Services Division Atty. Gilbert R. Arbon and Senior SRS Engr. Angie Barcoma.
