The P3 System is based on research
findings.
These are:
General problems:
Its features were made to answer
the problems identified by the team.
1. ) The Rice Terraces of the
Philippine Cordilleras was placed by
UNESCO in the “World Heritage in
Danger List” and was only delisted
last year.

2. ) Due to changing values and
environment, at least 30% of the
Ifugao Rice Terraces by the year 2008
have been destroyed according to
UNESCO.

3. Tourists report a high sense of
satisfaction in helping in their small
way with conservation and
preservation of the world heritage
site.
4. Lack of funding for rehabilitation and
maintenance of Ifugao Rice Terraces

UNSUSTAINABLE and REACTIVE TOURISM
(UNESCO IMPACT STUDY, 2008)
1. Tourists are ignorant about local
history, customs and values
2. More innovative tour packages are
needed to attract more tourists and
other niche markets and

Our Plans for the Future
Consolidates all video and
data gathered by the
robots
To further improve the P3 System and
ultimately represent well the
Philippines in the 2013 World Robot
Olympiad in Jakarta, Indonesia on
November
We plan to:
1. Refine and add better features to
each robot in the P3 System.
2. Integrate their functions into one
seamless promotion and protection
system.
We plan to:
3. Visit the Ifugao Rice Terraces and
subject the robots to actual tests
there by late October.
4. Go around nearby schools and
communities with the robots to
raise awareness on the
conservation needs of our UNESCO
World Heritage Site, the Ifugao Rice
Terraces.
