MANILA — The Department of Science and Technology–Technology Application and Promotion Institute (DOST-TAPI) successfully concluded the 4th edition of Gawad Alunig x Dalumat (GAxD) 2025, recognizing Filipino creatives who transformed grassroots innovation stories into compelling visual narratives that promote locally-developed technologies. The awarding ceremony was held during the 39th Anniversary Celebration of DOST-TAPI on January 30, 2026, at The Manila Hotel, Metro Manila, gathering innovators, creatives, partners, and stakeholders from across the country.
DOST-TAPI’s GAxD 2025 marked a strategic shift from science citizen journalism to science visual storytelling. The campaign leveraged short-form video advertising and photo essay features to connect Filipino innovations with wider audiences. Beyond recognizing creative excellence, the campaign served as a platform for the Institute to scout potential technology proponents who may qualify for DOST-TAPI’s programs and services.
