Project GENESIS or Green Energy Network for Enhanced Synoptic Integrated Station, the flagship initiative of Mindoro State University (MinSU) in collaboration with DOST-MIMAROPA and the Department of Economy, Planning, and Development (DEPDev), is set to expand its reach to Marinduque through Project MOSES - Monitoring and Observation of Site-specific E-weather Stations.
The program, aimed at improving localized weather monitoring, filling gaps in weather data, and strengthening disaster preparedness, was introduced during an online webinar organized by DOST-MIMAROPA and PSTO-Marinduque, in partnership with the Provincial Government of Marinduque and PDRRMO Marinduque on September 08, 2025 via Zoom. Participants included regional DOST officials, PSTO representatives from Oriental Mindoro, Occidental Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon, and Palawan, along with PDRRMO and MDRRMO officials from Marinduque.
A key highlight was the plan to conduct an on-site assessment of Marinduque Island to determine the feasibility of deploying localized e-weather stations across all municipalities. These stations, powered by GENESIS’s renewable energy and IoT-based technology, will provide real-time weather monitoring, enable data-driven decision-making, and strengthen the province’s capacity to respond to natural hazards.
“With strong support from PDRRMO Marinduque, this initiative is expected to enhance real-time weather monitoring, strengthen disaster preparedness, and enable data-driven decision-making,” said Engr. Christian B. Hernandez, Project Team Leader.
“As we move forward, we are committed to ensuring that Marinduque advances toward the deployment of MinSU’s localized synoptic e-weather stations under Project MOSES powered by Project GENESIS. Our team will conduct an on-site assessment this 3rd week of October to identify feasible locations across the province,” he further stated.
Engr. Hernandez also highlighted plans for expansion beyond Marinduque. “GENESIS is being considered for Catanduanes, and we are actively coordinating with other line agencies to explore deployment across Oriental Mindoro, the MIMAROPA region, and eventually nationwide. Our goal is a stronger, renewable-powered, IoT-enabled weather monitoring network that empowers local governments and communities with real-time data for climate resilience,” he added.
The rollout of Project MOSES in Marinduque underscores the continued partnership between national agencies, local government units, and Mindoro State University in strengthening the region’s capacity to address climate change and enhance disaster preparedness.
