2. Technology Implementation of FNRI’s Tubig Talino at Bago (Ibaan)
Aligned with implementation of 2016 Technology breakthroughs, the DOST PSTC Batangas adopted and proposed the implementation of production of iodine fortified drinking water or Tubig Talino developed by FNRI-DOST. The GIA project includes provision of equipment such as digital dispenser, digital platform balance, laboratory glassware and packaging and labeling materials. Based on the study of FNRI, five (5) glasses a day of iodine-rich drinking water provides 120 micrograms of iodine which meets 100% of the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) of a male adult. The project was approved during the last quarter of 2016 and the assistance will be provided on December 2016. Full implementation of the project is expected on the first quarter of 2017.
Bago (Ibaan) Multi-Purpose Cooperative Brgy. Bago, Ibaan, Batangas
Through the initiative of Barangay Captain Adriano Alcantara and Barangay Councilor Ding Andal and the collective effort and unity of twenty-five (23) residents of Brgy. Bago, Ibaan, Batangas, the Bago (Ibaan) Multi-Purpose Cooperative was established in the year 1990. It started with the collection of five thousand pesos as shares of each member of the cooperative. It was invested on grocery business and worked hard to expand and extend to other businesses. Currently, the cooperative is running different businesses such as water refilling station, gasoline station, minimart, hog fattening (paiwi system), savings and loan, hog weighing and feeds production. They now have 896 members, this is composed of Farmers, OFW, Women/Vendors, Teachers and Senior Citizens from different barangay of Ibaan, Batangas and some parts of Lipa City and Batangas City.
3. Pelletizing Technology to Upgrade Production Capability of PADECO
Today, most hog raisers prefer more of utilizing pelletized feeds. The problem of PADECO is that they cannot compete well with other feed producers and feed products brought by ASEAN integration. Likewise, their production is limited to the normal consumption of the customers. They cannot increase their production due to shorter spoilage period of mashed feeds. Production is not maximized in this term. Shrinkage on mashed feeds was accounted at 2% which may be reduced by pelletizing the feeds. To help them solve their present problems, DOST PSTC Batangas identified S&T intervention such as the provision of pelletizing machine to upgrade the production and quality of feeds and to be able to achieve the following advantages of pelletized over mashed form according to PCAARRD: increased nutrient density and palatability; do not spoil easily; avoid dust generation, and ingredient segregation; and shrinkage is estimated at 1% on pelletized feeds. Through GIA project, DOST PSTC Batangas proposed the adoption of Central Luzon State University-developed pelletizing machine. The project proposal was approved and the assistance is expected to be released by December 2016. Implementation shall follow in January 2017. Consultancy services on Energy Audit and Cleaner Production Technology will
also be extended to the cooperative.

6. Establishment of Coconut Husks Common Service Facility in District IV of Batangas
District IV of Batangas is considered as one of the top producers of coconut and other coco products such as copra, in the Province. Lately, coconut husks which are usually considered waste have been discovered with a more usable purpose. Local governments of the district considered the husks as one of the major problems because it normally stays and dump into rivers which cause clogging of river flow and impose risk during rainy season. Some just leave the husks in vacant areas which further produce foul odor. S&T intervention needed I in solving this problem is the technology application on converting coconut husks into coco net and other by-products Coco Net is another product produced from decorticated coconut husk. The husk fiber is turned into rope and weaved into a net. This net is used by land developers or construction firms in netting soils on sloping lands as well as river banks. In this way, soil erosion is prevented while encouraging plant growth in the area. Through the GIA project of DOST PSTC-Batangas, the DWCC will be provided with decorticating machine for the phase 1 of the project. The target market of the products is the developers mainly in the District IV of Batangas. The Council is already arranging partnership with the local land developers or construction firms, Department of Public Works and Highways and Engineering Offices in their municipalities. The Villar Sipag Foundation also pledged to help the group to market their

San Jose Sico Multipurpose Cooperative Brgy. San Jose Sico, Batangas City, Batangas
In 1989, the Batangas City Government decided to relocate the garbage dumpsite from Barangay Tinga Labac to San Jose Sico. Naturally, the community expressed strong resistance about the project, rearing about the negative impressions it would create and the hazards to their health. However, for some residents, it’s an opportunity for them to earn a living. More than a year after, thirteen (13) sorters initially formed the San Jose Sico Sorters Association. Since the association had no legal personality to stand on and with no clear-cut policy and direction in sight, then barangay council and the association officers decided to form a cooperative. Thus, on December 1, 2003 with fifty five (55) members and initial paid up capital of P84,000.00 the San Jose Sico Landfill Multi-
Purpose Cooperative (SJSLMPC) come into existence.

Oil Skimming Machine To save water used during the process of calibration, acquisition of oil skimming machine was done. This machine which collects oil from water in the reservoir helps in making the water ready for use in the calibration process again. The oil skimming machine is acquired thru submission of project proposal to TAPI joint venture financing program and amortized the repayment using its income for three (3) years, 2009-2012. This machine utilizes a flexible floating collector tube that is able to snake over and around debris to reach the oil. The tube floats up and down with varying liquid levels. The tube breaks up crusted oil or grease, causing these contaminants to adhere to the tube. RVCL’s oil skimming machine is Model 5H which utilizes a floating tube system. The closed loop tube, made of a flexible, specially formulated plastic, attracts oil but not water. The Model 5-H continuously draws the oil-covered tube through scrapers and returns the clean tube to the water surface to gather more oil. The skimmed oil drains into a collection vessel. The collector tube can be sized to a variety of lengths to fit your particular applications. The collector tube picks up only the oil. Water and other liquids which you wish to retain are not carried off in the process.
Environmental Performance Report and Management Plan
The Provincial Science and Technology Center (PSTC) of Batangas is an office under the supervision of the Regional Office of DOST IV-A. The PSTC-Batangas provides services such as Technology Transfer and Commercialization, Technology Acquisition and Upgrading, and Scholarship Programs and other Roll Out/Innovative Projects. Moreover, the Regional Volumetric Calibration Laboratory (RVCL) is also housed at PSTC-Batangas. Being an ISO 9001:2008 certified organization and having the first big volumetric calibration laboratory to be an ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accredited, continual improvement of the PSTC-Batangas and its laboratory, RVCL, is one of the DOST IV-A’s environmental goals. In order to contribute to a cleaner environment and ecological balance, minimize air and water pollution, and in compliance with environmental laws and regulation, DOST IV-A initiates the preparation of PSTC-Batangas for Environmental Compliance Certificate application. To assist in their application, the graduate students of SESAM-UPLB enrolled under the ENS 296 BC-1L Midyear class of 2016 prepare the Environmental Performance Report and Management Plan (EPRMP) as part of the requirement of the course as well as help the PSTC-Batangas in the preparation of the documents needed for the ECC application. The study focused on the environmental performance of the existing Batangas Provincial Science and Technology Center (PSTC) and its Regional Volumetric Calibration Laboratory. Specifically, the study aimed to determine the potential impacts of the PSTC-Batangas particularly RVCL activities to the land, air, water and people components. The undertaking would also recommend mitigation and enhancement measures on the identified impacts. The following were the specific activities included in the study: (1) site ocular visit and investigation, (2) scoping of impacts and issues relevant to the project, (3) baseline profiling, (4) identification and assessment of predicted impacts, and (5) preparation of an environmental management plan and environmental monitoring plan. In the process of assessment, four major areas of concerns were identified, namely: 1) Hazardous waste management; 2) Disaster risk reduction and management plan; 3) Health, safety and security. These concerns were all addressed through the innovations implemented such as Provision of Hazardous Waste Facility, Upgrading of Electrical Facility, and Trainings of RVCL staff about Solid Waste Management, Health, Safety and Security.

PSTC-BAT/RVCL as a good organization to Benchmark with
Many government offices always consider PSTC-BAT/RVCL as a good organization to benchmark with. Notable as an ISO 9001:2008 accredited organization and having the first big volumetric calibration laboratory to be an ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accredited, PSTC-BAT/RVCL has provided an avenue to many other government offices which seek to see how efficient and customer-oriented an ISO-accredited organization is. To note, almost all other operating calibration laboratories in the neighboring regions have benchmarked with RVCL and how it is functioning.
Partnership with the Academe
This year, a group of Petroleum Engineering students partnered DOST/RVCL in designing their machine which targets to separate the oil from water that are considered waste generated from the process of calibrating the vehicle tanks, trailer tanks and bucket. This is deemed to pave way for a more efficient and eco-friendly RVCL services to all its customers.
Partnership with Local Government Units and other Regulatory Bodies
A proposal to calibrate the gas dispensers in selected Local Government Units is expected to have its pilot implementation next year. This aims to ensure that all the gasoline tanks provide the accurate amount of gas to all dispensers and meet certain standards for the benefit of the general public specifically the customers using petroleum products. A Consultative Meeting on the Proposed Verification of the Fuel Dispensing Pump of the Gasoline Stations was held for the realization of this matter on December 09, 2016. This was attended by DOST-ITDI, DOE, LGU-Bauan, -Calaca, -Batangas City, -Rosario and –Ibaan.
Participation in the Philippine Quality Awards (PQA) Application of DOST IV-A
PSTC-BAT/RVCL has been privileged for having been part of the offices/laboratories assessed by the evaluation committee for the Philippine Quality Awards (PQA) Application of DOST IV-A last November 16-18, 2015. As part of DOST IV-A which helps largely in meeting the organization’s goals, PSTC-BAT/RVCL has attended the requisites that the application requires in order to attain the prestigious award.
Other Notable Innovations
Other Notable Innovations in RVCL Benefits Improvement of the calibration driveway and fencing of the The driveway where vehicle tanks, trailer tanks and buckets building. park during the calibration process obliges a ‘balanced’ surface that enables derivation of more accurate measures. Since ‘unevenness’ in the position of the vehicle tanks, trailer tanks and buckets affects accuracy, the improvement of the calibration driveway made it easy for calibration analyst to secure accuracy in his measures. Meanwhile, the fencing of the building helped in putting a demarcation on the parameters of the lot property of DOST PSTC-Batangas. Acquisition of equipment such as hygrometer digital The acquisition of “seraphin” test measure helped in meeting thermometer and the “seraphin” test measure as standard. the reference standards in calibration and in deriving more accurate measures compared to the fabricated test measure being used before. Moreover, the hygrometer and digital thermometer provide temperature and relative humidity measures for the monitoring of ambient temperature which is a factor affecting the calibration process.

Regional Volumetric Calibration Laboratory rendered the highest total number of services in the year 2016 with 1,736 recorded services. These were distributed as 1377 vehicle / trailer tank, 358 buckets and1 proving tank. However, it can be seen that there is a continuous growth from 2013 to 2016 based from the number of services recorded throughout those years. The following percentages are the increase recorded in the number of calibration services in their corresponding years: 2013- 80%; 2014- 40%; 2015-15%; and 2016, 50%.
RVCL has already generated P2,977,980.00 income deposited to the Bureau of Treasury and TAPI Account as of October of this year. Using the graph, it can be seen that this year marks the biggest leap forward for RVCL since it accounted more than two million pesos collection already. Starting July to December 2013, a surge of customers in RVCL was recorded because of the sudden cessation of Calibration Laboratory in Bicutan. The customers were endorsed to DOST-RVCL Batangas causing a big leap in their number of customers rendered with service. A total of 105% increase in the annual income was recorded during 2013 while a 2% decrease in the annual income was noted down during 2014. This decrease was caused by the re-opening of Calibration Laboratory in Bicutan which in distance-wise is very accessible to other customers from neighboring regions. Good quality of service, outstanding attitude of RVCL staff towards customers, and prompt release of certificate were the gauges considered by other customers who choose to still stick to the services of RVCL thus a 24% increase was again recorded in the annual income of 2015. Moreover, this year another milestone was chronicled in the history of RVCL as it records 120% increase in the annual income.
