Subsequently, the publication was renamed as the Philippine Men and Women of Science in 2013 to adopt a gender-sensitive title. Today, the publication is given a new name – Specialized Philippine Enterprise Reference of Experts and Scientists (SPHERES). The SPHERES brand introduces a new function with a new focus.
