Filipino Inventions Overview

1. Jeepneys were created by Filipinos after World War 2 from surplus US military jeeps. They were modified to be longer and accommodate more passengers. They provided affordable post-war transportation in the Philippines and remain a popular mode of transport today. 2. The yo-yo was originally a weapon used by Ilocano natives for 400 years. The modern yo-yo was designed by Pedro Flores in the US as a lighter toy made of wood and string. 3. Patis (fish sauce) was invented in the 1940s by Ruperta David after experimenting with fish juice. It has become a popular seasoning in Filipino and other Southeast Asian cuisines.

Jeepneys
Jeepneys are the king of the Philippine roads. It was a created by Filipinos from the US
military jeeps after the Americans left the country after the war. These surplus jeeps are
stripped down and made longer to accommodate several passengers at the back. Metal roofs
provide shade to the passengers while colorful decorations adorn it inside and out. It provided
affordable transportation that can move about the bumpy roads that paved post-war
Philippines
E-Jeepney
Typical Jeepney
Jeepney/Jeep
Immediate post-war, and the most common form of transportation in the country today. A
Filipino invention, though born from necessity, ingenuity, and thrift. 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 primary mode of transportation in the country. This Philippine vehicle
has undergone many transformations and the modern “E-jeepney” was introduced in Metro
Manila and Bacolod City.
Leonardo Salvador Sarao Sr.
(April 13, 1921 – July 31, 2001) was the founder and owner of the Sarao Motors, a company
known for designing, manufacturing and selling the jeepney, the most popular mode of
transportation in the Philippines.

2. Yo-yo
The word yo-yo is an Ilocano word which means "come back". It was a weapon that had been
used by natives for 400 years. However, the lethal version was large and had sharp edges and
studs. It was also attached to thick 20-feet long ropes for flinging at enemies or prey. The
modern version was designed by a law undergraduate named, Pedro Flores. It was made of
lighter materials (wood and cotton stings) and was mass produced in the United States.

3.Patis
Patis (fish sauce) has been around for less than 100 years. It was discovered by Aling Tentay,
also known as Ruperta David after the Japanese occupation. Aling Tentay used the juice of
fish fragments from the dried fish they sell in the market. After some modifications, patis was
invented. It was registered in 1949 as a product of Tentay Food and Sauces. Its pungent
saltiness has become the basis of Vietnamese and Thai fish sauce, which they consume and
incorporate in their menus.
4. Erythromycin
Erythromycin, is a macrolide antibiotic that was sold as an alternative to penicillin. This was
discovered by Abelardo Aguilar, a doctor who observed the antibacterial actions of the
Aspergillus species of fungi in his hometown in Iloilo. He then sent samples to his employer,
Eli Lilly Co. The antibacterial action was further developed by the Indiana-based company
which marketed the antibiotic under the brand name Ilosone, in honor of the place where it
was discovered. Sadly, Abelardo died in 1993 without being recognized or rewarded royalties
for this significant contribution.

5. Medical Incubator
An improvised medical incubator was invented by pediatrician Fe del Mundo. This was made
up of two native laundry baskets of different sizes placed one inside the other. Hot water
bottles were placed all around between them to provide warmth. There was also a makeshift
hood over the overlapping baskets to allow oxygen to circulate within. It was created to
address the needs of rural areas with no electricity that is needed to regulate newborn babies'
body temperature.

6. Karaoke
The musical inclination of Pinoys has spurred Roberto del Rosario to invent the karaoke
sing-along system. Karaoke is actually a Japanese term which means to sing along to a
popular record with its original vocals removed. His sing along system was a compact audio
device that had a microphone, an amplifier speaker, cassette tape mechanisms, a microphone
mixer that had features that enhanced voice, and an optional radio tuner. This machine was
originally designed as a teaching device for students enrolled in voice lessons.

7. Videophone
The plight of the hearing impaired inspired Gregorio Zara, a physicist, to create the first
videophone. It was officially known as the photo phone signal separator network. Five years
after he created the device, AT&T developed it and sold it to the public in 1970. Current
models of videophones now are based from the initial invention of Zara.

8. 16-Bit Microchip
Diosdado Banatao developed the first single-chip graphical user interface accelerator that
made computers work a lot faster. This invention has allowed computer users to use graphics
for commands and not the usual typed commands in older computers. It has allowed data
processing to be a little faster using very little space (small chips instead of large boards).
9. Quink Quick Drying Ink
The Quink quick drying ink' was invented by Francisco Quisumbing, a chemist. It was an
innovative ink at that time and was further developed to work with Parker Pens. Aside from
being quick drying, it was also water-resistant, did not clog the pen opening, does not blot
and will not fade. It was manufactured in four colors - black, green, red and blue. It is
considered as one if the best selling ink for fountain pens of the millennium.

10. Modular Housing System


Rapid urbanization and poor construction has left plenty of Pinoys homeless in the city. This
encouraged Edgardo Vasquez to make the modular housing system. This made use of
pre-fabricated materials that can withstand typhoons and earthquakes. Despite its resistance
to natural disasters, the modular housing system costs less than traditional building materials
and is versatile to adapt to various housing architectures

11 Mole Remover
In the year 2000, Rolando dela Cruz developed a formula that could easily remove deeply
grown moles or warts from the skin without leaving marks or hurting the patient. The formula
was made from cashew nut extracts (Annacardium occidentale), a common plant in the
Philippines. This formula won a gold medal in the International Invention, Innovation,
Industrial Design and Technology Exhibition in Kuala Lumpur in the year 2000.

12 Banana Catsup
Banana Catsup is a condiment that many Filipinos love to use for almost every known dish in
the Philippines. This was the brainchild of food technologist Maria Orosa y Ylagan
(1893–1945). According to historical accounts, she created the first 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
many Filipinos, Americans and others who were held prisoners in World War II.

13 An artificial reef
An artificial reef is a human-created underwater structure, typically built to promote marine
life in areas with a generally featureless bottom, to control erosion, block ship passage, block
the use of trawling nets,[2] or improve surfing.

Many reefs are built using objects that were built for other purposes, such as by sinking oil
rigs (through the Rigs-to-Reefs program), scuttling ships, or by deploying rubble or
construction debris. Other artificial reefs are purpose-built (e.g. the reef balls) from PVC or
concrete. Shipwrecks may become artificial reefs when preserved on the seafloor. Regardless
of construction method, artificial reefs generally provide hard surfaces where algae and
invertebrates such as barnacles, corals, and oysters attach; the accumulation of attached
marine life in turn provides intricate structures and food for assemblages of fish.

Hello, Good Morning! Nag search na ko ng 13 na Philippine invention kasi 13 tayo sa group
para pipili nalang kayo and para hindi na rin mag doble doble kung magka kanya kanyang
search pa tayo. May mga information na siyang kasama kaso hindi complete and detailed.
Kaya mamili nalang kayo and i search nyo nalang ulit para sure. And yong gagawin nating
video is ito yung mga dapat na ma discuss 1. Title ng invention 2. Inventor 3. Time ng
invention. 4. Purpose or use ng invention and 5. Impact ng invention na yon sa people or
society. Pili nalang kayo ang chat n’yo nalang dito kung ano napili nyo pero if meron naman
kayo na search na wala sa sinend ko and alam nyo na mas better yon feel free to say Thank
