Philippine skunk?

What is this site all about?  A new species?  Nature site?  Skunks?  Smelly objects?  No, not really.... Read on...

Working in a Filipino R&D company has its challenges in terms of locally available resources, existing infrastructure and capital availability. Competing in the global market is an even bigger challenge.  In a sea of American, Japanese, Korean, Taiwanese and Chinese brands, one cannot expect an upstart Filipino company to even survive.   When was the last time has anyone heard of a Filipino technology company making it big in the global market?  Would anyone even dare?  

Well, there are some insane people out there who would want to give it a try and I am part of this endeavor.  After four years of struggle, survive we did!  We even made quite a significant dent in our market.  Of course, we have had some heavy backup from good hearted individuals who believe in what we can do, who gave leapfrog opportunities for us.  Now, we are embarking on more technically challenging projects which can define us in the next few months.  

Skunks?  Like the legendary Lockheed Martin Skunkworks, we churn out not so top secret military and industrial grade products, albeit only a small portion go towards military applications, which we hope will be representative of cutting edge technologies in the near future.  This blog aims to provide a glimpse of related technologies, declassified development updates and general technology news.  

Cheers!!!
