Community-Based Projects
To harness the country's scientific and technological capabilities by providing financial grants to S&T programs/projects to spur a sustainable economic growth for the country, Grants-In-Aid Program of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST-GIA) was launched. It encourages participation of various sectors in Science and Technology (S&T) particularly in Research and Development (R&D), Technology Transfer, Human Resources Development, S&T Promotion, Advocacy and Linkages.
PSTC Batangas in response to this call, provided science and technology interventions to seven community organizations this year. Meanwhile a total of 41 science and technology interventions were also provided to 33 on-going and newly-assisted firms. S&T interventions include Technology Needs Assessment, consultancy services, equipment provision and training and seminars.

2. Technology Implementation of FNRI’s Tubig Talino at Bago (Ibaan) Aligned with implementation of 2016 Technology breakthroughs, the DOST PSTC Batangas adopted and proposed the implementation of production of iodine fortified drinking water or Tubig Talino developed by FNRI-DOST. The GIA project includes provision of equipment such as digital dispenser, digital platform balance, laboratory glassware and packaging and labeling materials. Based on the study of FNRI, five (5) glasses a day of iodine-rich drinking water provides 120 micrograms of iodine which meets 100% of the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) of a male adult. The project was approved during the last quarter of 2016 and the assistance will be provided on December 2016. Full implementation of the project is expected on the first quarter of 2017.
3. Pelletizing Technology to Upgrade Production Capability of PADECO
Today, most hog raisers prefer more of utilizing pelletized feeds. The problem of PADECO is that they cannot compete well with other feed producers and feed products brought by ASEAN integration. Likewise, their production is limited to the normal consumption of the customers. They cannot increase their production due to shorter spoilage period of mashed feeds. Production is not maximized in this term. Shrinkage on mashed feeds was accounted at 2% which may be reduced by pelletizing the feeds. To help them solve their present problems, DOST PSTC Batangas identified S&T intervention such as the provision of pelletizing machine to upgrade the production and quality of feeds and to be able to achieve the following advantages of pelletized over mashed form according to PCAARRD: increased nutrient density and palatability; do not spoil easily; avoid dust
generation, and ingredient segregation; and shrinkage is estimated at 1% on pelletized feeds. Through GIA project, DOST PSTC Batangas proposed the adoption of Central Luzon State University-developed pelletizing machine. The project proposal was approved and the assistance is expected to be released by December 2016. Implementation shall follow in January 2017. Consultancy services on Energy Audit and Cleaner Production Technology will also be extended to the cooperative.

5. Establishment of Fish Processing Facility of TamBauangueña in Bauan, Batangas
In 2005, DOST PSTC-Batangas, ITDI-PRDC and LGU Batangas City
conducted a research on prolonging shelf-life of the sinaing na tulingan through vacuum packaging but was not adopted by the vendors association of Batangas City. This year, the same technology will be provided to TamBauangeña association in Bauan, Batangas through DOST IV-A GIA project.
The GIA project proposal was already approved and for implementation
by the first quarter of 2017. Main objective of the project is to enhance the capability of the women association in Bauan, Batangas in fish processing through establishment of food safety compliant processing facility.

6. Establishment of Coconut Husks Common Service Facility in District IV of Batangas District IV of Batangas is considered
as one of the top producers of coconut and other coco products such as copra, in the Province. Lately, coconut husks which are usually considered waste have been discovered with a more usable purpose.
Local governments of the district considered the husks as one of the major problems because it normally stays and dump into rivers which cause clogging of river flow and impose risk during rainy season. Some just leave the husks in vacant areas which further produce foul odor. S&T intervention needed I in solving this problem is the technology application on converting coconut husks into coco net and other by-products
Coco Net is another product produced from decorticated coconut husk. The husk fiber is turned into rope and weaved into a net. This net is used by land developers or construction firms in netting soils on sloping lands as well as river banks. In this way, soil erosion is prevented while encouraging plant growth in the area.
Through the GIA project of DOST PSTC-Batangas, the DWCC will be provided with decorticating machine for the phase 1 of the project. The target market of the products is the developers mainly in the District IV of Batangas. The Council is already arranging partnership with the local land developers or construction firms, Department of Public Works and Highways and Engineering Offices in their municipalities. The Villar Sipag Foundation also pledged to help the group to market their

San Jose Sico Multipurpose Cooperative Brgy. San Jose Sico, Batangas City, Batangas
In 1989, the Batangas City Government decided to relocate the garbage dumpsite from Barangay Tinga Labac to San Jose Sico. Naturally, the community expressed strong resistance about the project, rearing about the negative impressions it would create and the hazards to their health. However, for some residents, it’s an opportunity for them to earn a living. More than a year after, thirteen (13) sorters initially formed the San Jose Sico Sorters Association. Since the association had no legal personality to stand on and with no clear-cut policy and direction in sight, then barangay council and the association officers decided to form a cooperative. Thus, on December 1, 2003 with fifty five (55) members and initial paid up capital of P84,000.00 the San Jose Sico Landfill Multi-Purpose Cooperative (SJSLMPC) come into existence.

Oil Skimming Machine To save water used during the process of calibration, acquisition of oil skimming machine was done. This machine which
collects oil from water in the reservoir helps in making the water ready for use in the calibration process again.
The oil skimming machine is acquired thru submission of project proposal to TAPI joint venture financing program and
amortized the repayment using its income for three (3) years, 2009-2012.
This machine utilizes a flexible floating collector tube that is able to snake over and around debris to reach the oil. The
tube floats up and down with varying liquid levels. The tube breaks up crusted oil or grease, causing these contaminants to adhere
to the tube.
RVCL’s oil skimming machine is Model 5H which utilizes a floating tube system. The closed loop tube, made of a
flexible, specially formulated plastic, attracts oil but not water. The Model 5-H continuously draws the oil-covered tube through
scrapers and returns the clean tube to the water surface to gather more oil. The skimmed oil drains into a collection vessel. The
collector tube can be sized to a variety of lengths to fit your particular applications.
The collector tube picks up only the oil. Water and other liquids which you wish to retain are not carried off in the
process.
Environmental Performance Report and Management Plan The Provincial Science and Technology Center (PSTC) of Batangas is an office under the supervision of the Regional
Office of DOST IV-A. The PSTC-Batangas provides services such as Technology Transfer and Commercialization, Technology
Acquisition and Upgrading, and Scholarship Programs and other Roll Out/Innovative Projects. Moreover, the Regional Volumetric
Calibration Laboratory (RVCL) is also housed at PSTC-Batangas.
Being an ISO 9001:2008 certified organization and having the first big volumetric calibration laboratory to be an ISO/IEC
17025:2005 accredited, continual improvement of the PSTC-Batangas and its laboratory, RVCL, is one of the DOST IV-A’s
environmental goals. In order to contribute to a cleaner environment and ecological balance, minimize air and water pollution, and
in compliance with environmental laws and regulation, DOST IV-A initiates the preparation of PSTC-Batangas for Environmental
Compliance Certificate application. To assist in their application, the graduate students of SESAM-UPLB enrolled under the ENS
296 BC-1L Midyear class of 2016 prepare the Environmental Performance Report and Management Plan (EPRMP) as part of the
requirement of the course as well as help the PSTC-Batangas in the preparation of the documents needed for the ECC
application.
The study focused on the environmental performance of the existing Batangas Provincial Science and Technology
Center (PSTC) and its Regional Volumetric Calibration Laboratory. Specifically, the study aimed to determine the potential impacts
of the PSTC-Batangas particularly RVCL activities to the land, air, water and people components. The undertaking would also
recommend mitigation and enhancement measures on the identified impacts.
The following were the specific activities included in the study: (1) site ocular visit and investigation, (2) scoping of
impacts and issues relevant to the project, (3) baseline profiling, (4) identification and assessment of predicted impacts, and (5)
preparation of an environmental management plan and environmental monitoring plan.
In the process of assessment, four major areas of concerns were identified, namely: 1) Hazardous waste management;
2) Disaster risk reduction and management plan; 3) Health, safety and security. These concerns were all addressed through the
innovations implemented such as Provision of Hazardous Waste Facility, Upgrading of Electrical Facility, and Trainings of RVCL
staff about Solid Waste Management, Health, Safety and Security.
Contribution to DOST IV-A’s number of Customers rendered with Service With regard to the number of customers being rendered with service, PSTC-BAT/RVCL provides the largest number.
The consistency of high satisfaction ratings reflected in the feedback forms filled-in by every customer rendered with service is
very notable as each year passes. This fact mirrors how efficient the service of RVCL is, such are the outstanding attitude of RVCL
staff towards customers, how prompt the release of certificate is, and how good the quality of service is.

PSTC-BAT/RVCL as a good organization to Benchmark with Many government offices always consider PSTC-BAT/RVCL as a good organization to benchmark with. Notable as an
ISO 9001:2008 accredited organization and having the first big volumetric calibration laboratory to be an ISO/IEC 17025:2005
accredited, PSTC-BAT/RVCL has provided an avenue to many other government offices which seek to see how efficient and
customer-oriented an ISO-accredited organization is. To note, almost all other operating calibration laboratories in the neighboring
regions have benchmarked with RVCL and how it is functioning.
Partnership with the Academe This year, a group of Petroleum Engineering students partnered DOST/RVCL in designing their machine which targets
to separate the oil from water that are considered waste generated from the process of calibrating the vehicle tanks, traile r tanks
and bucket. This is deemed to pave way for a more efficient and eco-friendly RVCL services to all its customers.
Partnership with Local Government Units and other Regulatory Bodies A proposal to calibrate the gas dispensers in selected Local Government Units is expected to have its pilot
implementation next year. This aims to ensure that all the gasoline tanks provide the accurate amount of gas to all dispensers and
meet certain standards for the benefit of the general public specifically the customers using petroleum products.
A Consultative Meeting on the Proposed Verification of the Fuel Dispensing Pump of the Gasoline Stations was held for
the realization of this matter on December 09, 2016. This was attended by DOST-ITDI, DOE, LGU-Bauan, -Calaca, -Batangas
City, -Rosario and –Ibaan.
Participation in the Philippine Quality Awards (PQA) Application of DOST IV-A PSTC-BAT/RVCL has been privileged for having been part of the offices/laboratories assessed by the evaluation
committee for the Philippine Quality Awards (PQA) Application of DOST IV-A last November 16-18, 2015. As part of DOST IV-A
which helps largely in meeting the organization’s goals, PSTC-BAT/RVCL has attended the requisites that the application requires
in order to attain the prestigious award.
Other Notable Innovations
Other Notable Innovations in RVCL Benefits
Improvement of the calibration driveway and fencing of the
building.
The driveway where vehicle tanks, trailer tanks and buckets park during the calibration process obliges a ‘balanced’ surface that enables derivation of more accurate measures. Since ‘unevenness’ in the position of the vehicle tanks, trailer tanks and buckets affects accuracy, the improvement of the calibration driveway made it easy for calibration analyst to secure accuracy in his measures. Meanwhile, the fencing of the building helped in putting a demarcation on the parameters of the lot property of DOST PSTC-Batangas.
Acquisition of equipment such as hygrometer digital
thermometer and the “seraphin” test measure as standard.
The acquisition of “seraphin” test measure helped in meeting the reference standards in calibration and in deriving more accurate measures compared to the fabricated test measure being used before. Moreover, the hygrometer and digital thermometer provide temperature and relative humidity measures for the monitoring of ambient temperature which is a factor affecting the calibration process.

Upgrading of motor pump from 2HP to 3HP to improve
capacity services of RVCL
Providing faster calibration service as it accommodates more number of vehicle tanks, trailer tanks and buckets to be rendered with calibration service thus helps in increasing productivity.
Acquisition of another 3HP motor pump as back-up in existing
motor pump.
3HP motor pump now serves as back-up in case that there will be malfunctioning in the existing motor pump.
Provision of Hazardous Waste Facility for proper waste
storage.
This helps in minimizing risks that wastes generated from the calibration process have. Moreover, this helps in responding to the requisites for Environment Compliance Certificate accreditation.
Upgrading of air conditioning unit for the convenience of RVCL
personnel and customers
This helps in meeting the satisfaction demands of the customers. Upgrading of air conditioning unit provides convenience to customers and to personnel to increase productivity.
Upgrading of electrical facility amounting to more or less
P450,000.00 charged to RVCL’s income
Upgrading of electrical facility helps in securing safety among the calibration analysts who performs the calibration process and to the customers who stays in the driveway while the calibration process is being done. It also prevent the occurrence of power fluctuation and hazards (i.e. fire) for the safety of the building and other facilities within the compound. Electrical improvement helps the building to conform to the increasing power requirement due to additional equipment and increasing calibration services.
Long-term RVCL customers (i.e., 5 to 10 years) are given
plaque of appreciation for their loyalty and trust to RVCL and
its quality services.
This practice of RVCL helped in earning the loyalty of more customers. This has been a good indication that RVCL provides quality service to all its customers throughout the years.
Hired additional personnel to provide better quality of service
for RVCL customers
The addition of personnel helped in providing more efficient and customer-oriented calibration service to all RVCL customers.
Acquisition of Nipa hut as customer's lounge for PSTC/RVCL
customers with provision of TV and water dispenser.
This caters all RVCL customers who are waiting for the completion of the calibration process of their vehicle tanks, trailer tanks and buckets and for the release of their calibration certificate. It is also of paramount importance to note that this nipa hut now serves as a avenue for customers who by chance make brotherhood with each other.
RVCL ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Presented on the graphs below are RVCL accomplishments from 2013 – 2016 with regard to the number of calibration services they have rendered; the number of firms assisted; the annual number of RVCL customers; the annual income generated and the RVCL customer satisfaction measurement.

Regional Volumetric Calibration Laboratory rendered the highest total number of services in the year 2016 with 1,736
recorded services. These were distributed as 1377 vehicle / trailer tank, 358 buckets and1 proving tank. However, it can be seen that there is a continuous growth from 2013 to 2016 based from the number of services recorded throughout those years. The following percentages are the increase recorded in the number of calibration services in their corresponding years: 2013- 80%; 2014- 40%; 2015-15%; and 2016, 50%.
RVCL has already generated P2,977,980.00 income deposited to the Bureau of Treasury and TAPI Account as of October of this year. Using the graph, it can be seen that this year marks the biggest leap forward for RVCL since it accounted more than two million pesos collection already.
Starting July to December 2013, a surge of customers in RVCL was recorded because of the sudden cessation of Calibration Laboratory in Bicutan. The customers were endorsed to DOST-RVCL Batangas causing a big leap in their number of customers rendered with service. A total of 105% increase in the annual income was recorded during 2013 while a 2% decrease in the annual income was noted down during 2014. This decrease was caused by the re-opening of Calibration Laboratory in Bicutan which in distance-wise is very accessible to other customers from neighboring regions. Good quality of service, outstanding attitude of RVCL staff towards customers, and prompt release of certificate were the gauges considered by other customers who choose to still stick to the services of RVCL thus a 24% increase was again recorded in the annual income of 2015. Moreover, this year another milestone was chronicled in the history of RVCL as it records 120% increase in the annual income.

A continuous increase in the annual number of customers rendered with service is notable throughout the years. From 723 in 2013 to 1531 this year, is a clear indication how RVCL really grows. The following percentages are the increase recorded in the annual number of customers in their corresponding years: 2013- 81%; 2014- 40%; 2015- 15%; and this year, 2016, 50%.
Based on the graph, the number of firms being rendered with RVCL service is continuously increasing from 208 in 2013 to 378 this 2016.
Since on July to December 2013, a surge of customers in RVCL was recorded because of the sudden cessation of
Calibration Laboratory in Bicutan, RVCL recorded a big increase in the number of firms rendered with service in 2013, specifically
40% increase. Meanwhile, the re-opening of Calibration Laboratory in Bicutan which in distance-wise is very accessible to other
customers from neighboring regions caused the decrease in the number of firms rendered with service in 2014, specifically 8%
decrease. However, this decrease has been recompensed in 2015 as a 35% increase in the number of firms rendered with service
was noted. Good quality of service, outstanding attitude of RVCL staff towards customers, and prompt release of certificate were
the gauges considered by other customers who choose to travel to Batangas to acquire the service of RVCL instead of any other
calibration laboratories near them. This year, a 45% increase in the number of firms rendered with service was already logged.
