According to the report, the Filipino youth once again showcased its skills and talents in the field of science and innovation, after the research group of Agusan del Sur province’s Patin-ay National High School (PNHS) bagged gold and bronze medals, and a special award from Britain, in the prestigious 2025 World Smart Industry Expo (WSIE): 4th Youth Patent Incubation Exhibition and International Exhibition of Inventions in Chongqing, southwest China.

The report also stated that, despite limited facilities and funds, PNHS, based in Prosperidad town, participated in the Biotechnology and Medical/Health categories, bringing two innovative research results that were products of their dedication to science.

“Violet Alingatong (Premna Odorata Blanco),” a tonic plant that is seen to have great potential against diseases caused by oxidative stress, bagged the Gold Medal of Appreciation.

The second project, “Insulin Plant (Costus Igneus),” a formulation of neuro-leaf tea which can help against neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, and dementia, received the Bronze Medal of Appreciation and the “C for Change Association United Kingdom Special Award.”

It’s really inspiring to read about the achievements of the students from Patin-ay National High School in the Philippines. Winning gold, bronze, and even a special award from the UK at the 2025 World Smart Industry Expo is no small feat, especially when you consider the challenges they faced with limited facilities and funding. What impresses me most is that their projects weren’t just theoretical but had practical applications in health and medicine, which shows how innovative and forward-thinking they are. The “Violet Alingatong” project targeting oxidative stress-related diseases is fascinating, and the neuro-leaf tea from the “Insulin Plant” has huge potential given how common neurodegenerative conditions are becoming worldwide. These kinds of breakthroughs highlight not only the creativity of young minds but also the importance of supporting schools and communities that foster science and innovation. Hopefully, this recognition opens doors for more funding and opportunities for these talented students.

These Filipino youths bring fame and glory to my country. Their coaches - their high school principal and teachers supported these high school students to achieve their goals. I'm also touched with these students accomplishments.
