INVENTIONS
Despite being considered a
developing country, the Philippines also
contributes to the global advancement of
science and technology.
We have group of inventors called
Filipino Inventors Society which aims to
remedy the needs of the consumers by
inventing useful machines that could help us
in our everyday living.
 PINOY
INVENTIONS
THAT
CHANGED THE
 PINOY INVENTIONS
1. SING ALONG SYSTEM
• Filipinos didn't TECHNICALLY invent the karaoke no
matter how Pinoy it feels
• It's actually a Japanese invention (hence the
Japanese name), created by Daisuke Inoue. BUT, the
Sing Along System (SAs), known to many as "minus

• The Sing Along System actually sounds like a cousin
of the karaoke machine it had a microphone, an
amplifier, a cassette tape mechanism, and a mixer
with cool effects to enhance a singer's voice Unlike
the karaoke machine, it didn't come with a visual

• He put up the Yo-yo
Manufacturing Company in
California, before selling it to

3. ERYTHROMYCIN
• Dr. Abelardo Aguilar, a doctor hailing from Iloilo
who observed the antibacterial actions of the
Aspergillus species of fungi in his hometown.
• He was the one who invented a modern antibiotics
known as Erythromycin as an alternative to

• He sent the samples to his employer, Eli Lilly Co.,
who quickly patented and marketed the medicine
under the brand name Ilosone, in honor of the place
where it was discovered.
• Abelardo, however, never received any royalties

4. MODULAR HOUSING SYSTEM
• It was developed by Edgardo
Vasquez.
• The modular housing system
made use JAZBUILT of pre-
fabricated materials that can
withstand typhoons and
earthquakes.
• The modular housing system
actually costs less than traditional
building materials and is versatile
with various types of housing

5. VIDEO PHONE
• It was in invented back in
1995
• Gregorio Y. Zara invented
video phone in which he
called the Photo Phone
Single Separator Network.
• After 5 years after hir
invention, AT&T started to
work on a similar device,
which they were able to
develop and release to the

6. E-JEEPNEY
• After the Americans colonized the Philippines, the
Filipinos were able to create their own version of the
“jeepney from scratch.”
• Ever since, this vehicle can be seen over almost
every street and road in the Philippines and is the

• This Philippine vehicle has undergone many
transformations and the modern "E-jeepney" was
introduced in Metro Manila and Bacolod City.

almost every known dish in the Philippines.
• This was the brainchild of food technologist
Maria Orosa y Ylagan (1893-1945).

recipe for banana catsup and experimented with
foods that are native to the Philippines and created
food products such as calamansi nip, which is a
powdered form of calamansi to make calamansi
juice, and a powdered version of soya beans called
Soyalac which was used to help save the lives of

invented by
• Alfredo M. Anos Sr.
• He is known as the Godfather of Filipino Inventors.
• This truck, a rescue vehicle, and an Ambulance.

10. MEDICAL INCUBATOR
• Fe Del Mundo is credited for her
studies that led to the creation and
development of the Jaundice
Relieving Device.
• She is the first Asian who was able
to enter the prestigious Harvard
University’s School of Medicine.
• This was created in order to
address the needs of families in
rural areas that have no electricity
that is needed to regulate the body

2. MELCHOR HENOSA

HEROES
• Proving that adversity is not a hindrance to
innovation and creativity, Mr. Melchor Henosa has
gained widespread acclaim for a technology that
automatically stops leaking of automotive brake
fluid.
• He thought of an automatic check valve to prevent
drainage at first drip, and could not stop thinking
about the idea days after.
• He made his design soon after and borrowed
money to make a prototype, which stood testing
and evaluation.
