The Philippines' rich marine biodiversity not only sustains the livelihoods of many Filipinos and industries but also preserves environmental balance. However, irresponsible and destructive human actions continue to pose a threat to this invaluable resource. Additionally, there remains untapped marine potential that could significantly contribute to national development.

To help promote the sustainable and responsible management of the country’s ocean resources, the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) showcased its science, technology, and innovation (STI) initiatives in the Blue Economy and Smart and Sustainable Development at the 2024 Eastern Visayas Regional Science, Technology, and Innovation Week (EVRSTW) celebration.

PRESS RELEASE

Built upon a published study from the Department of Science and Technology - Philippine Council for Health Research and Development (DOST-PCHRD), researchers from the University of the Philippines (UP) Manila are investigating the antiretroviral properties of a plant extract in a promising step towards potentially finding treatment for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). 

Among the major challenges in treating HIV is viral latency, or the ability of the virus to be in a resting (latent) state, evading detection by the immune system and current HIV medications called antiretroviral therapies (ART).
