00:00In time of Indigenous Peoples Month, a team lead by the Department of Science and Technology

00:06explores grassroots innovation with Mangan communities in Occidental Mindoro.

00:11Philippine Information Agency Occidental Mindoro, Diane Gurimbalem, has the full report.

00:19Innovations or diskarte at the grassroots level should be recognized.

00:24The Department of Science and Technology, or DOST, emphasized

00:28during the recently conducted Saliklakbay Solutions Mapping and Immersion

00:32in the Mangyan Indigenous People Community in Barangay Naibuan, San Jose, Occidental Mindoro.

00:38Saliklakbay is part of the DOST Grassroots Innovation for Inclusive Development or GRIND Program,

00:45which aims to capture solutions crafted by the people in the communities

00:50to solve their problems using resources that are available in their area.

00:55The Saliklakbay, from the words Saliksik and Paglalakbay,

01:00is a process that not only helps the seed,

01:05but also gives the power to the local innovators

01:09and strengthens their voices and contributions.

01:14Some innovations shared by the locals are related to handicrafts such as weaving techniques,

01:20local plants used for curing diseases like sore eyes and even snake venom,

01:25and improvised machinery for agriculture.

01:28The DOST Ni Maropa team documented these innovations

01:32to learn about their origin as part of the research process to develop the technology.

01:37What we want to do is to introduce the solutions that are being thought of by our community

01:44and make it better so that we can deploy it to other communities

01:53that are in need of the same solutions that were created by the community level.

01:59Barangay Naibuan is one of the Mangyian IP communities in San Jose Town.

02:03It is a far-flung community located at the mountainous part of the municipality.

02:09In Occidental Mindoro, there are eight Mangyian IP tribes, namely
