The Filipino Inventors Society, Inc. recently celebrated its 79th founding anniversary last October 14, 2022, at The Manila Hotel, City of Manila. The celebration gave emphasis to partnerships and camaraderie between inventors, investors, and the government. It also showcased the ingenuity of Filipino inventors who have made significant contributions to improving the quality of life of the Filipino people through technology.
Speeches were delivered by FIS officials like their incumbent president, Inv. Ronald P. Pagsanhan; their Board of Directors Chairman, Inv. Jon A. Simon; and their incoming president, Inv. William Chua. Also in attendance was the Manila Hotel President and Director, Atty. Jose D. Lina, Jr.; government officials like the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) Secretary, Dr. Renato U. Solidum, Jr.; DOST-Technology Application and Promotion Institute (TAPI) Director, Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena; Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPOHL) Deputy Director General, Atty. Teodoro C. Pascua; and many others.
A Memorandum of Understanding between the FIS and the Philippine-American Chamber of Commerce was also signed that night to establish a partnership primarily for investment opportunities benefiting the technologies created by members of the FIS.
Members of the Ateneo Intellectual Property Office (AIPO) were invited to attend this momentous event as honored guests and official partners in preparing and filing documents for IP protection of the inventions upon request of its FIS members, and also in the startup incubation and commercialization of the members’ developed technologies.

This was such an inspiring read! I loved how you highlighted the achievements of Filipino inventors and the history of the society. It really gave me a fresh perspective on innovation and dedication. I recently saw a discussion on a phonydiploma review blog https://www.phonydiploma.com/ that touched on related ideas in an interesting way. Thanks for sharing!
This was a meaningful and inspiring read. Celebrating 79 years of innovation really shows how deeply rooted creativity and problem-solving are in the Filipino community. I liked how the article honored both past achievements and future possibilities. It brought to mind a similar reflection I read on a grandoaksorthodontics review blog https://grandoaksorthodontics.com/, where long-standing dedication and innovation were discussed in a different field. Well written and uplifting.
This Intellectual Property 101 guide is a fantastic resource for creators and innovators navigating IP fundamentals. The clear explanations and practical examples are very helpful. It reminds brands such as goprogaragedoorrepair of the value in protecting original work and respecting others’ rights — a critical mindset for any creative business.
Great primer on IP basics — especially important for creators navigating brands, content, and ownership. As a founder of inspereza , I value this kind of clarity that empowers innovators to protect their ideas correctly. This post is a worthwhile read for anyone serious about their creative or business journey.
