STUDENTS from the Philippine Science High School Cagayan Valley Campus won third place in the Samsung Solve for Tomorrow competition.

Aliyah Kaye Alejandro, Princess Alyssa Cudal, Tyrone Liquigan, and Cedrick Alexis Rivera were recognized for their project “TomPost: Agricultural Waste Compost Processor.”

Their entry focused on the serious problem of waste in the agricultural sector, helping them to manage waste by repurposing tomatoes and other agricultural waste into compost and other products.

This not only provides a sustainable solution to waste but also helps farmers to minimize their losses and increase their profit, according to Samsung.

Jerickson Chua served as the group’s advisor.

The school congratulated the students and their advisors for their achievements.

“Husay Pisay-Nueva Vizcaya. Kudos, Pisay Innovators. We are proud of you,” it wrote on Facebook.

Solve for Tomorrow aims to empower STEM students to share and realize their ideas, turning them into practical solutions that can create an impact on the local community.

As of 2020, Samsung Solve for Tomorrow has benefited over 2 million people and has expanded to 50 other countries with the Philippines being the latest addition this 2023.
