Project MOSES (Monitoring and Observation of Site-specific E-weather Station), a groundbreaking research initiative led by Mindoro State University (MinSU) and funded by the Department of Science and Technology – MIMAROPA (DOST-MIMAROPA), continues to make waves as it was featured at the 47th Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM) of the National Academy of Science and Technology (NAST), held at The Manila Hotel on July 9–10, 2025.
Project MOSES is MinSU’s pioneering research effort funded by the Department of Science and Technology – MIMAROPA (DOST-MIMAROPA), that harnesses Internet of Things (IoT) technology to enhance localized weather monitoring and environmental management. The project deploys advanced synoptic weather stations within the Mag-asawang Tubig Watershed in Naujan, Oriental Mindoro, enabling data-driven strategies for disaster resilience and sustainable resource planning.
Among 294 selected research works nationwide, MinSU’s study titled “Design and Development of an IoT-based Localized Synoptic Weather Station in Mag-asawang Tubig Watershed, Naujan, Oriental Mindoro, Philippines” was presented during the ASM’s Scientific Poster Session.
Engr. Christian B. Hernandez, Project Leader and faculty member from the Institute of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering, led the presentation. The study was co-authored by a dedicated team of researchers: Mr. Harold Y. Bangalisan, Dr. John Edgar S. Anthony, Ms. Maria Trixia Genesis A. Ballesteros, Mr. Eric G. Buñag, Mr. Christian Jay R. Canilang, Ms. Arjoyce G. Coronacion, Ms. Didrey Monet Kesia Dawis, Ms. Ma. Riverose A. Gasis, Mr. Roger A. Montoya, Mr. Marvin N. Teñido, and Ms. Jeanamiah Macaraig.
Since its inception, Project MOSES has earned numerous recognitions from various government agencies and organizations for its innovative approach to environmental data management and climate resilience. The project’s impact and potential have also led to its expansion under a new phase - Project GENESIS (Green Energy Network for Enhanced Synoptic Integrated Station), which is currently being implemented with funding support from the Department of Economy, Planning and Development (DEPDev).
With the theme “Bioscience Innovations: Transforming Enterprise Ecosystems for Wealth Creation,” this year’s ASM highlighted the role of science-based solutions in community empowerment and inclusive economic growth. The event served as a platform for researchers, scientists, and innovators to share insights, forge collaborations, and advance interdisciplinary approaches in science and technology.
As Project MOSES continues to gain recognition, it stands as a testament to the power of innovation and collaboration in addressing pressing environmental challenges, not just within MinSU, but the whole province of Oriental Mindoro.
