Project MOSES (Monitoring and Observation of Site-specific E-weather Stations) was among the five disaster management innovations featured at the 2025 Handa Pilipinas para sa Bagong Pilipinas – Luzon Leg, hosted by the Department of Science and Technology – Cordillera Administrative Region (DOST–CAR). The event was held from August 7 to 9, 2025 at the Newtown Convention Center and Plaza Hotel in Baguio City.
With the theme “Handa Pilipinas sa Bagong Pilipinas: Innovations in Climate and Disaster Resilience Nationwide Exposition 2025,” this year’s exposition highlighted science, technology, and innovation (STI) solutions for disaster preparedness and climate adaptation.
A flagship initiative of Mindoro State University in collaboration with DOST–MIMAROPA, Project MOSES offers a localized synoptic e-weather station equipped with Filipino-made hardware and software. Designed to address long-standing challenges such as high costs, sustainability issues, and dependence on imported systems, the project provides advanced, site-specific weather monitoring for early warning and disaster preparedness.
Engr. Christian B. Hernandez, Project Team Leader, represented MinSU at the exposition. He shared that the innovation attracted strong interest from local government units (LGUs) and private organizations seeking reliable and localized tools for climate resilience. Its potential to strengthen community-based weather monitoring and early warning systems sparked discussions on possible deployment across various provinces.
Currently, two (2) operational MOSES stations are installed in Oriental Mindoro - one in Victoria and another in Naujan, with an additional unit under construction in Calapan City. Moreover, the project has now entered its second phase, called Project GENESIS (Green Energy Network for Enhanced Synoptic Integrated Station), funded by the Department of Economy, Planning, and Development (DEPDev), formerly the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA).
Aside from Project MOSES, other featured innovations included Hemostat developed by the DOST–Philippine Nuclear Research Institute; Portable unihoused water purification and sterilization apparatus by Filipino inventor and engineer Rodrigo Duque; Ready-to-eat food packages and Abaca-reinforced fiber composite made by the DOST–Industrial Technology Development Institute
The exposition was held simultaneously with the 2025 Regional Science and Technology Week (RSTW) – CAR, themed “Agham, Teknolohiya, at Inobasyon: Kabalikat sa Matatag, Maginhawa, at Panatag na Kinabukasan.”
