4. The Power of Local
We specialize in Mapping, Geographic Information System (GIS), Planning,
Engineering and Surveying.
Our team consists of civil engineers, geodetic engineers, foresters, environmental
planners, drone pilots and GIS developers.
We aim to improve the health of the Filipino people and our environment ...
by using advanced technical knowledge to
strengthen the Philippines’ robotic
capacity, facilitate a network of people from
the academe, government, civil societies and
connect them to local and global robotic
technology experts for collaborative
learning.

5. Aerial Mapping of the 2019 Central
Luzon Earthquake
The Power of Local A mapping system was mounted on a manned aircraft (CESSNA) to take
geolocated images to produce the output for the project.

6. AREA:
In partnership with the University of
the Philippines - Resilience Institute
(UPRI)
We were able to map out landslide
locations and inspect their sizes to
determine the damage caused by the
earthquake, as well as the location of a
potential fault line.
