Third Issue of Pinoy Biotek Magazine Now Available
| |
ISAAA Inc., as part of the Pinoy Biotek na Tayo project with the Philippine Agriculture and Fisheries Biotechnology Program of the Department of Agriculture (DA Biotech Program), releases the third issue of Pinoy Biotek Magazine, an information resource tool to help Filipinos better understand agricultural biotechnology (agbiotech).
Magazines have a far-reaching impact on society. They are a great source of information and entertainment and present stories with more information and details than newspaper articles and are useful in a variety of ways, both for entertainment and for learning. Magazine articles can be complemented with photographs, illustrations, or infographics, making them visually engaging and easy to understand. Magazines are also affordable, portable, and shareable, with featured articles that reach more people.
Magazines also act as curated collections of information on a specific topic or area of interest. New developments in agbiotech interest many people, but such topics should be presented in an easy-to-understand format and include important details. Magazines offer the space and coverage for a more in-depth discussion of modern agbiotech, designed for targeted audiences in a visually engaging presentation.
Pinoy Biotek Magazine aims to raise awareness, understanding, and acceptance of Pinoy biotech products derived from both conventional and modern biotechnology. This magazine will be published in print and distributed for free to selected schools and institutions. It is also available for free download on the ISAAA Inc. website at www.isaaa.org.
The third issue of Pinoy Biotek Magazine has the following articles:
- QuickCArE: Pen-side Test Kit for Caprine Arthritis Encephalitis
- A New Dawn in Rice Farming as LAMP Shines in the Battle Against Tungro Virus

Pinoy Biotek Magazine is part of the project titled "Awareness Building on Biotechnology and Products of Philippine Biotechnology (Conventional and Modern Biotechnology)," also called "Pinoy Biotek na Tayo" which prioritizes communicating biotechnology to help increase the awareness of Filipinos on biotech crops and its products. Two issues of Pinoy Biotek Magazine were released in September 2023 and early June 2024.
