TAGUIG CITY, Philippines (August 13, 2026)– The Technological University of the Philippines Visayas (TUPV) Tractor Project Team visited the TUP Taguig Research and Extension (R&E) office yesterday for a benchmarking session. This activity is part of the implementation of the DOST GIA-funded TUPV project, "Development and Fabrication of Local Open-System Tractor Machine."

What started as an exchange of best practices for publishing research outputs has grown into a collaborative effort to share campus expertise. Moving forward, TUP Taguig will guide the TUPV Tractor Project team in successfully publishing their R&D findings. In return, TUP Visayas will step in to help TUP Taguig commercialize their own local technologies.

The benchmarking meeting brought together key personnel from both campuses to map out the initiative. The TUP Taguig R&E team included Dr. Hector M. Tibo, Dr. Zacharias John A. Belmonte, Engr. Jane E. Morgado, Dr. Lieda A. Sobida, and Ms. Cindy Q. Maldecir. Representing TUP Visayas were Mr. Julius Remar A. Gabiota and Engr. Adrian S. Delos Silos.

By pooling their respective strengths in research publication and technology transfer, both campuses are taking practical steps to help the university achieve its broader goals in R&D and commercialization.

DRIVING SCIENTIFIC INNOVATION FOR SUSTAINABLE LIVELIHOODS IN NIR!

The Technological University of the Philippines Visayas (TUPV), through the TUP Visayas Intellectual Property and Technology Transfer Office (TIPTTO), took center stage at the DSWD NIR Ilog SLP Day 2026 held earlier today, June 4, 2026, at the Multi-Purpose Covered Gym in Dancalan, Ilog, Negros Occidental.

Carrying the theme "Collaboration and Strengthened Partnership, Creating Impact and Sustainability," the event marked a massive milestone for regional development as TUPV officially sets out to deploy its locally developed crab-related technologies to the municipality of Ilog! This impactful initiative will directly empower our resilient SLPA Mangrove crab Farmers in Bocana (Ilog Entrepreneurs Association) through the DSWD Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP) NIR.

Bridging Academic Research & National Livelihood Programs

In a major highlight for the university, the TUPV team presented their roster of sustainable, breakthrough technologies directly to DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian and Congresswoman Mercedes "Cheding" Alvarez of the 6th District of Negros Occidental, and local farmers.

At the "Local Partners Corner" exhibition booth, TUPV proudly showcased a powerhouse lineup of ready-to-commercialize innovations:

Mushroom Growth Stimulator
Automated Feed Pelletizer
Compact Glass Crusher
Multicrop Pulverizer

TUPV also looked forward to possible commercialization of the DOST funded Local Open System Two-wheel tractor machine which could help the farmers sustain their livelihoods once the fabrication of prototype is done this 2026.

Through these technologies, TIPTTO offers comprehensive support from technology assessments and business model layouts to formal licensing—ensuring our local farmers and entrepreneurs are equipped with sustainable, scientific tools to thrive.

A Strengthened Alliance for Progress

The successful rollout was made possible through a powerful, united collaboration between the Office of Congresswoman Mercedes Alvarez, the Municipality of Ilog, BLGU Bocana, and DSWD SLP. As a core partner in driving innovation, TUPV was also officially recognized during the assembly, receiving a Certificate of Appreciation for its unwavering commitment to community growth. This partnership was also possible because of the full support and leadership of TUPV Campus Director Dr. Eric Malo-oy and TUPV ADRE Dr. Gregorio L. Crisostomo.

Thank you to our dedicated SLPA Mangrove crab Farmers and to all our institutional partners! Together, we are transforming research into reality and building a more sustainable future for the Negros Island Region (NIR)! 💡🌾
