Responding to the need for more personal protective equipment (PPE) amid the COVID-19 outbreak, the DOST- Forest Products Research and Development Institute (DOST-FPRDI) produced bamboo-framed face shields for distribution to frontline services in Laguna.

The bamboo-framed face shields produced by a team led by DOST-FPRDI’s Mssrs. Froilan B. Samiano, Audel V. Mosteiro, Noel M. Medrano, Val DV Valderama and Engr. Cesar O. Austria (Photos by Audel V. Mosteiro)

“Our team had to improvise with the materials at hand because the enhanced community quarantine made it challenging to procure supplies,” explained DOST-FPRDI Director Romulo T. Aggangan.
