Message
On behalf of the entire Department of Science and Technology, I wish to congratulate the
DOST National Capital Region (DOST-NCR) on your worthwhile contributions to make
the benefits derived from science and technology more tangible in the premier region of
the country, despite the fact that DOST-NCR came into being only in 2005.
Despite very limited workforce and financial constraints, you have attained your targets
through innovative schemes for harnessing the expertise and resources of other DOST
agencies.
May your vigor and dynamism be sustained by the satisfaction of seeing a renewed
interest in science and technology demonstrated by the people you serve in the NCR.
Mabuhay kayong lahat!

Message
My warmest greetings and congratulations to the officials and staff of the Department of
Science and Technology-National Capital Region (DOST-NCR) on your
accomplishments and unflagging commitment in promoting science and technology
(S&T) programs and providing technical services to our valued clients and the publics
despite their very limited resources.
In its initial operation as a separate office, DOST-NCR has demonstrated its excellent
capacity to be a mover of science and technology (S&T) in the metropolis. Its presence
and relevance bear the marks of quality service possible only from highly committed
personnel who are willing to go out of their way to serve the public they are mandated to
support.
I laud DOST-NCR for successfully implementing S&T programs and promoting a culture
of innovation among its clients and the public. Their strength is in building linkages
and the good working attitude of its limited number of staff.
I wish you all more productive years in S&T service!

2005 Annual Report
Message
I am proud to present the Accomplishments for CY2005 of the Department of Science and
Technology in the National Capital Region (DOST-NCR). This report contains DOST-NCR's
contributions in bringing into fruition the Department's goal to use science and technology as an
engine of growth and well-being, especially for our countrymen in the region.
We have accomplished the target we have set for various programs and projects, though limited
resources available. In the past year, we were successful in carrying out the S and T activities of
the Department, through job creation and increased productivity through S & T, among the small
and medium and the micro enterprises.
In 2005, DOST- NCR packaged and facilitated the release of PhP12.4 million pesos worth
of direct technical assistance to different companies; with estimated gross value sales at
PhP39.3 million pesos. DOST-NCR organized and conducted 12 technical training/
seminars for the industry sectors; in addition to holding a techno forum and consultative
meetings with the academe. These activities, in effect, extended assistance to 104 firms/
MSMEs and sectors, benefiting a total of 457 participants.
These accomplishments, however, would not have been possible without the strong support of the
DOST management and its agencies. (once more proving that much can be done despite
budgetary limitations if we work together and complement each other's strengths.) In
particular, we would like to thank the DOST-NCR RTEC members who have continuously
assisted us in the evaluation and review of projects in the region. We are also grateful to
the Financial and Administrative Management Service of the DOST Central Office for
their invaluable assistance to DOST-NCR operation.
On a personal note, I would like to acknowledge my staff at DOST- NCR for consistently
exhibiting good team work and strong commitment to S&T delivery. I am especially proud of
their positive work attitude.
I am confident that given this same winning attitude and our needed resources, DOST-NCR
will notch further accomplishments, not only as an agency of the DOST, but as a strong ally of
SMEs and of the budding scientists and entrepreneurs in the National Capital Region.

...Refreshingly New Tea Ventures…
Tea drinks nowadays are becoming popular in the
Philippines because of its reported healthy benefits.
That’s why Tea Ventures Company, Inc. (TVC)
ventured into manufacturing tea drinks blended with
colorful and delicious fruit juices.
TVC products are packed in 2-L HDPE bags which
are poured into “granita machines” where it is
continuously chilled, blended and sold in 12 to 16
ounce glasses with the brand Teazers. The company
began sometime in 1995 with its first outlet in
Glorietta, Ayala Center and then expanded to 15
more market outlets in famous universities, and
malls.
Water Softener one of the nine equipment
acquired by Tea Ventures Company through
SETUP intervention.
Before DOST’s intervention, the company was
experiencing problems on short product shelf life due to low
filling and sealing temperature; limited production capacity
and high fuel cost due to longer time cooking; high product
wastage due to spillage and spoilage; limited distribution
reach and frequent and high delivery cost due to short
product shelf-life.
Tea Ventures Company also
acquired Steam-Jacketed Kettle
through SETUP intervention.
When TVC learned about DOST-SET-UP’s assistance, Ms.
Anna Maria Alcantara, General Manager of TVC did not
waste time. She met with DOST-NCR staff to complete the
requirements to avail of SET-UP’s support. DOST-NCR
and its RTEC members provided technical assistance and
technology needs assessment.
With SET-UP’s intervention, the company was able to
acquire Steam-Jacketed Kettle, Holding Tank , Sanitary Pump and Piping, Air Valve
Fillers with Foot Switch, Steam Boiler , Water Softener, Continuous Sealer, and
Stainless Steel Cooling Tub amounting to P750,000. With the acquisition of this
equipment, product stability and quality was improved by following proper processing
temperature and reducing product handling thus extending product’s shelf-life.
Problems on spillage, spoilage and high fuel cost are now a thing of the past.
Now the company is closer to its dream of seeing its products sold in ready-to-drink 500ml bottles, thereby allowing them to reach and serve wider market base. Tea Ventures is
now considered “DOST-enabled” company.

… Originally Filipino Unique and Delectable Taste
of Polvoron in the House of Polvoron…
MOTZ Food Products (MFP) started off as a
backyard business with a two-man team in 1988,
selling unbranded polvoron in small volumes. In
its effort to gain ground in the high competitive
snack food market, the company sought DOST’s
assistance on packaging and labeling in 2002.
Consequently, MFP launched its branded
polvoron line, “House of Polvoron (HOP)”. With
the new packaging and labeling, HOP is
gradually gaining recognition in both domestic
and international market.
In 2003, the first House of Polvoron mall outlet opened in SM Megamall. Since then,
Motz Food Products was continuously assisted by DOST-NCR through trade fairs,
training on Good Manufacturing Practices, technical and consultancy services and just
recently, a seed fund for the acquisition of equipment and machineries for the
mechanization of MFP’s production.
Ms. Charlotte Caliwara, Assistant General Manager of MFP also sought SET-UP’s
assistance to be able to upgrade the company’s production and packaging process from
manually to fully-mechanized operation by acquiring kettle with scraper type mixer,
molder, automatic band sealer, ribbon mixer and shrink packaging machine. The new
equipments are helpful in standardizing MFP’s production process thus improve the
quality and shelf life of its products.
Motz Food Products is currently selling its products in different variants and flavors –
pinipig, cashew, pili, walnuts, cookies and cream, chocolate and assorted flavors in more
attractive packages. The House of Polvoron can now be seen in SM Megamall, SM
Southmall and Glorietta and envisions opening more market outlets in the near future.

…Crispylicious Filipino Snack Food - Making it
World’s Favorite…
Toscano-Soriano
Trading (TST) started in
1985 with a capital of P50,000 as a repacking
business for snack food items such as polvoron,
pastilles and assorted candies. They later
experimented on producing dried dilis and squid
which became bestsellers and made the
Toscano brand “Seakid” popular. Eventually Mr.
and Mrs. Toscano concentrated on food
processing.
With increasing demand for their products, Mrs.
Elizabeth Toscano realized the need to expand
and improve their production thus they sought for expert’s advice. In 2004, the company
became a recipient of DOST-TAPI’s Manufacturing Productivity Extension Program
(MPEX) which assists small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the manufacturing sector
to attain higher productivity. MPEX consultants conducted a productivity needs
assessment and observed that the workers were not strictly following good
manufacturing practices and the production equipment such as big frying pans poses
safety risk for their workers. The company also needed a lot of improvements in their
processing and packaging methods in order to improve its product quality and
consistency.
Through MPEX, the workers of TST were trained for 5S and Good Manufacturing
Practices. Improvements from these trainings are visible in the factory and office. The
next step was to upgrade the production equipment of the company. This is where the
DOST-Small Enterprise Technology Upgrading Program (SET-UP) came in.
DOST-NCR facilitated the acquisition of Oven, Cooker/Mixer, Dryer/Dehydrator,
Dehumidifier and Vacuum Packing Machine Sealer through a P839,000 assistance from
DOST-SET-UP. The cooking equipment improved the consistency of the products and
prevented oil spills and accidents. The Dryer/Dehydrator achieved consistent drying of
raw materials and avoided contamination from dust and dirt as compared to their
previous sundrying technique. The vacuum packaging machine helped retain the
crispiness and quality of the products thus extended the products’ shelf life.
Today, the products of Toscano-Soriano Trading are sold in major groceries,
supermarkets and convenient stores in Metro Manila. They are also exported through
regular exporters/consolidators. The company also plans to export its products directly in
the near future. However, to be able to do this, the company needs to obtain a HACCP
certification.
With the help of DOST-NCR, the managers and staff of the firm were trained with
Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) and Introduction to Shelf Life
Studies. And now, the company is currently working for its HACCP certification.
Acquiring its HACCP certification will surely give TST a competitive advantage in the
domestic market and will enable them to conquer the export market.

…Boosting the production capability of a micro enterprise…
Marisa’s
Food
was
established
sometime in September 2000 when Marisa
del Rosario-Demin took the challenge of
entrepreneurship in food industry. It started
when Marisa was still assisting her mother in
small catering/canteen business in Bulacan.
Enticed by the growing business of her
mother, she was compelled to attend short
courses related to food business. Later, she
decided to put up her own business.
She ventured into atchara (pickled papaya),
peanut butter and bagoong isda manufacturing. Out of her product line, atchara soon
become popular to her friends and neighbors that she concentrated producing it. The
production was just intended for her very small market until such time that she had been
contracted by one of the biggest bakeshops (Red Ribbon Bakeshop) in the country to
supply atchara to them. Marisa’s Foods supplies at least 200 kilograms of atchara
weekly to the bakeshop chain.
With its growing market, Ms. Demin sought the
assistance of DOST to upgrade her conventional

…Mechanizing Ice Tea Production to Meet
International Standards...
Established in 2003, Marventure Corporation ventured
into manufacturing and selling of iced tea concentrates
and ready to drink iced tea with the brand “Allmytea”. In
the same year, the company acquired DOST-ITDI’s
service on product specification and nutritional analysis.
Since the market trend is moving on the natural and
healthier side, Allmytea is gaining acceptance in the
consumer market. But because the company still applies
the manual process of production, it has a limited
production capability. Thus, it cannot supply the
supermarkets and groceries nor satisfy the increasing
market demand.

…Having the Right Technology……
So
all it takes is good product, a great
package, creative marketing, and a competitive
price to run a successful and profitable
enterprise? You may be a whiz at marketing, but
this is simply not enough to be a whiz at
business. This was a lesson learned by FilChoice Food Industries, Inc. The company knew
from experience that staying ahead of the
competition and generating new clients meant
having the right technology and equipment.
Founded in 1998, Fil-Choice Food Industries,
Inc. is engaged in manufacturing of sweet fruit preserves, condiments, bottled fish, and
seasonings. The company is primarily exporting its products to USA, Canada and UAE.
It is currently servicing 12 distributors in the export market.
In order to maintain the trust and satisfaction of its customers and with the stricter
standard requirements of the importing countries, the company sensed the necessity to
upgrade their process and acquire the appropriate equipment for their production. Since
then, Fil-Choice has been actively visiting DOST-ITDI to seek for new developments and
improvements for their process and operation.
Upon learning about SETUP, the company did not hesitate to ask the help of DOSTNCR. With the help of its RTEC members, DOST-NCR assessed the technology
requirements of Fil-Choice. Through SETUP, Fil-Choice was able to upgrade its process
and acquired steam jacketed kettle, steam retort and boiler amounting to P825,000.
With the acquisition of the new equipment the firm
saved on its operating cost and improved the quality
of its products thereby eliminating rejects due to
under or over processing. The company also
achieved an increase in production capacity and
increase in revenue by 10%. Most importantly, it has
complied with the standard requirements being
imposed by the importing countries

new coordinate measuring machine (CMM)
was the logical next step in expanding its
capabilities.
With this in mind, HDM Technologies, Inc.
sought the assistance of DOST-SET-UP in
acquiring the coordinate measuring machine
along with technical training of personnel. The
company was granted P1,000,000 by SET-UP in
order for it to acquire the needed production
equipment.
HDM Technologies, Inc. acquired Coordinate

The new equipment enables the company to perform crash protection, offline
programming, reverse engineering, shop floor suitability, and SPC software and
temperature compensation. CMMs are comprised of four main components: the machine
itself, the measuring probe, the control or computing system, and the measuring
software.
Purchasing the CMM has had positive results for the company. It improved the
machining capability of the company thus improving product quality comparable to
international standards. It also enhanced the technical know-how of its employees in
software operation and reduced wastage and rejects. Aside from this it has expanded its
capacity to produce new product lines. But most importantly, it has opened the door to
more orders for HDM Technologies, Inc. This shows that continuous improvement of
processes and capabilities can lead to new business and can increase profitability.

... Increasing capability through equipment acquisition…
Year 2000 started a new market trend for
Concepts Trading Corporation as the trend
towards globalization greatly affected the
Philippine carpet industries due to dumping
of cheaper imported products. This is due to
lower tariff imposed upon imported products
and the raw materials are petrochemical
based, which the country does not have,
therefore, commands relatively high cost to
local buyers and producers as well.
In this respect, with such high value of raw
materials for carpets, Concepts Trading Corporation looked for alternative raw materials.
And the utilization of indigenous products such as tinagak/abaca fiber to be mixed with
acrylic, nylon, and similar mixture could provide better advantage for the company as
well as for the Philippine carpet industry in this global trend competition.
With the indigenous materials like abaca and
tinagak, which are promising and excellent
materials for the production of fibercraft products
for carpet, the company could find high-end
markets abroad. To tap the high end market the
raw materials should also be of good quality. In
order to produce consistent sizes of abaca and
tinagak farmed out from suppliers in the village
and provinces, acquisition of appropriate
machineries is needed by the company. Without
the production machines, the layering of the rope,

done manually. Thus Concepts Trading sought the
assistance of SET-UP for the acquisition of 1 unit layer rope making machine and 1 unit
twisting machine. Now the preparation of the raw materials is currently being done by
Concepts Trading using the said machine. In doing so, production time is reduced as
well as saved on overhead costs.
Now, share in the export market for fibercraft products (using native abaca and tinagak)
became possible for the company. The high-end markets that include US, Europe, and
Japan are the consumers seeking natural fiber as the primary component for carpet
related products i.e. tapestries, murals and other art pieces. There are also substantial
markets abroad for carpet with component of indigenous materials, and this is what the
company looks forward to have access to.
