To inspire learners to learn more about rich biodiversity of Siargao Island, a game application titled, “Siargao Flora & Fauna Puzzle” was developed by the Department of Science and Technology-National Research Council of the Philippines (DOST-NRCP).

The Siargao Flora & Fauna Puzzle game app, an offline game, similar to one of the most played mobile games, Candy Crush, but introduces new animal species, instead, on specific levels. Each level is an idle and visual way to understand the habitat and behavior of Siargao’s natural treasures like Mindanao Flying Tree, Paka Gadikit, and Platymantis Paka through the app feature called, “Siargao Journal.”

“Let us explore Siargao Island through this game app, especially for our children, and learn more about the types of plants and animals that continue to thrive in Siargao’s rich biodiversity,” Representative Francisco Jose Matugas II of Surigao del Norte 1st Congressional District endorsed the NRCP game application to parents and children.

Filipino researchers are using artificial intelligence (AI) and 3D printing technologies to enhance bone tissue repair, providing a more accessible and affordable solution for bone- related challenges caused by aging, infections, and accidents.

Aiming to empower patients and doctors in selecting the optimal bone repair material based on medical needs and affordability, this project offers a more viable alternative to existing methods by providing enhanced performance for complex bone regeneration using 3D printing technology to craft bone scaffolds with tunable shapes.

Led by Dr. Erwin P. Enriquez of the Ateneo de Manila University (AdMU), and supported by the Philippine Council for Health Research and Development (PCHRD), the team leverages on an international collaboration with researchers from the Vellore Institute of Technology in India, that specializes in additive manufacturing, AI-assisted design, and bio-nanotechnology using 3D printing technology.
