TAGUIG CITY — Since 2022, the Technology Application and Promotion Institute under the Department of Science and Technology (DOST-TAPI) has been amplifying Filipino ingenuity through the Gawad Alunig x Dalumat (GAxD). 

Developed at a time when the Philippines was reeling from the global pandemic, this national campaign leveraged on the power of storytelling to highlight homegrown technologies. It also served as a response to the proliferation of disinformation and misinformation, particularly with various misconceptions and false claims on science and technology.
