“In  ecosystem of innovation, you need enabling policies and laws so that innovation can be produced,” Department of Science and Technology(DOST) Secretary Renato Solidum Jr.  said at  press conference organized by  DOST and Bauertek legalizing medical marijuana in the Philippines would enable  award-winning company  developed  cannabis-based product to further develop and commercialize it locally.
Solidum congratulated Richard Nixon Gomez and his son Rigel Gomez for winning three gold medals and Grand Prix 2024 at E-NNOVATE International Invention & Innovation Summit in Krakow, Poland last week.
Gomezes’ Bauertek Farmaceutical Technologies won awards for CanCur, PiCur and its Black Garlic food supplement developed with Mariano Marcos State University.
“If country is not fast in facilitating mass production of very good innovation… you cannot stop our innovators from going to other countries,” he added.
CanCur is intended to help patients with epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, anxiety, depression, sleep disorders and pain management.
PiCur is reportedly powerful natural antioxidant intended to help stop angiogenesis around tumor cells and help induce apoptosis of tumor cells. It is used for treatment of breast cancer, prostate cancer, cervical cancer, colon cancer and other common illnesses.
Black Garlic is intended to help patients with nerve disorders and those with certain forms of cancer.
This year’s E-NNOVATE featured more than 200 entries from 25 countries.
All three gold awards garnered by Philippine delegation belong to Pharma category.
“We came in with three entries: PiCur, flagship invention; black garlic, collaboration with Mariano Marcos State University; and also our latest project CanCur, our medical cannabis project,” Rigel said.
