The Department of Science and Technology โ€“ Provincial Science and Technology Office of Dinagat Islands (DOST-PDI), in collaboration with DOST Caraga and the DOST-Science and Technology Information Institute (DOST-STII), conducted the two-day STARBOOKS 2026 deployment on October 20โ€“21, 2026. The initiative reached 32 educational institutions across Dinagat Islands, with STARBOOKS installed on 70 devices, expanding access to reliable science and technology information for learners, educators, and researchers, including those in geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas (GIDA).

On the first day, the deployment was held in Barangay Carmen, Loreto, serving 21 schools from Loreto, Tubajon, and Albor I District. STARBOOKS was installed on 44 laptops, and 11 hard disk drives (HDDs) were distributed to identified recipient schools, with an additional HDD provided by a partner school. On the second day, the activity moved to Sta. Cruz, San Jose, reaching 11 institutions from Basilisa, Cagdianao, and San Jose. STARBOOKS was installed on 26 devices, comprising 18 laptops and eight computer units from Don Jose Ecleo Memorial College (DJEMC). The deployment was facilitated by the STARBOOKS teams of DOST Caraga, DOST-PDI, and DOST-STII, with representatives from DepEd Dinagat Islands also participating.

Beyond software installation and equipment distribution, the activity strengthened collaboration among DOST, DepEd, and partner educational institutions to promote science, technology, and innovation (STI). Through STARBOOKS, participating institutions can access valuable information resources to enhance classroom instruction, support research, and stimulate interest in science and technology. This initiative reaffirms the commitment of DOST Caraga, DOST-STII, and DOST-PDI, together with their partners, to making STI information more accessible and inclusive for communities throughout Dinagat Islands.

The caravan will introduce the DOST Innovation Hubโ€™s pre-incubation support to help participants develop ideas that address community and industry needs. Support covers problem-solution fit, design thinking and ideation, mentorship and expert guidance, founder fit and team development, and minimum viable product (MVP) development, helping founders understand users, build teams, and test initial products.

Technology ideas are welcome in artificial intelligence, quantum computing, smart technologies, Industry 4.0, nutraceuticals and functional foods, smart agriculture, circular economy, educational technology, and health and natural products.

From those exploring ideas to those developing prototypes, participants at any stage are welcome. Women innovators, social entrepreneurs, and community problem-solvers are encouraged to join.

There is no age limit, and an established startup is not required. Bring an idea, a problem worth solving, and the willingness to learn and collaborate.

Caragaโ€™s next innovation could begin with the problem you choose to solve.

The Department of Science and Technologyโ€“Caraga (DOST-Caraga), the Provincial Local Government Unit of Dinagat Islands (PLGU PDI), and Surigao del Norte State University (SNSU) marked an important milestone in strengthening the provinceโ€™s food industry through the groundbreaking ceremony of the Dinagat Islands Food Innovation Center (FIC) on October 9, 2026, at the Provincial Guest Center Lounge in Brgy. Cuarinta, San Jose, Dinagat Islands.

The event was attended by DOST Secretary Dr. Renato U. Solidum, Jr.; DOST Undersecretary for Regional Operations Engr. Sancho A. Mabborang; DOST Assistant Secretary for Countryside Development Engr. Maria Teresa B. De Guzman; DOST-Caraga Regional Director Engr. Noel M. Ajoc; and DOST-PSTO Dinagat Islands Provincial Director Dr. Ann O. Tibe, CESE, alongside local stakeholders and partner representatives.

Through this partnership, the FIC will provide technical support for food research, product development, and processing. It will assist micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), farmers, fisherfolk, food entrepreneurs, researchers, and aspiring innovators in developing new products and improving existing ones. Given the provinceโ€™s considerable potential for value-added products from agricultural and marine resources, the center aims to address processing limitations, reduce postharvest losses, strengthen food safety, and help local enterprises compete in evolving markets. Its services will also support the development of safe, high-quality, market-ready products, including ready-to-eat foods for emergency situations.

The facilityโ€™s initial equipment will include a water retort machine, vacuum packaging machine, food dehydrator, vacuum frying machine, heavy-duty planetary food mixer, mechanical fish dryer, and multi-purpose grains dryer. These technologies will support food preservation, improve product quality, and extend shelf life. By combining DOSTโ€™s science and technology expertise, PLGU PDIโ€™s development priorities, and SNSUโ€™s academic and research capabilities, this collaboration aims to build stronger local enterprises, create livelihood opportunities, promote food security, and advance a more competitive and resilient island economy.

As part of the advocacy โ€œScience, Technology and Innovation for Resilient Island Communities in Dinagat Islands,โ€ the Department of Science and Technologyโ€“Caraga (DOST-Caraga) officially launched the DOST-PSTO PDI Innovation Hub (iHub) on October 9, 2026. The occasion was attended by DOST Secretary Dr. Renato U. Solidum, Jr.; DOST Undersecretary for Regional Operations Engr. Sancho A. Mabborang; DOST Assistant Secretary for Countryside
Development Engr. Maria Teresa B. De Guzman; DOST-Caraga Regional Director Engr. Noel M. Ajoc; and DOST-PSTO Dinagat Islands Provincial Director Dr. Ann O. Tibe, CESE.

Located at the Provincial Science and Technology Office in Brgy. Aurelio, San Jose, the iHub provides a space where individuals and groups can meet, share ideas, collaborate, and develop solutions to economic and social challenges. It also aims to help promising ideas grow into innovative startups and viable business opportunities.

For an island province like Dinagat Islands, innovation is essential to maximizing the use of local resources, strengthening local enterprises, creating livelihood opportunities, and addressing community needs. By bringing people together and connecting local challenges with science, technology, and research, the iHub opens new pathways for sustainable development and more resilient island communities.

Guided by DOSTโ€™s 4Is strategyโ€”Inspire, Interact, Ideate, and Initiateโ€”the iHub will encourage people to learn from successful innovators, connect with potential partners, develop and improve ideas, and take the first steps toward turning these ideas into practical solutions. Activities may include sharing sessions, idea pitching, design thinking workshops, hackathons, business planning, and linkages with Technology Business Incubators (TBIs).

The DOST-PSTO PDI Innovation Hub welcomes students, researchers, entrepreneurs, micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), local government units, and community members to explore opportunities in science, technology, and innovation. Through collaboration and creativity, the iHub seeks to transform local ideas into meaningful solutions that contribute to a more innovative, inclusive, and resilient Dinagat Islands.
