On July 21–25, 2014, the ethnobotanical team of CapSU Dumarao Satellite College composed of Dr. Bede Ozaraga, Dr. Ma Sylvia Inting Ozaraga and Dr. Maryneth Baticbatic Barrios brought the Capiz State University to the national limelight during the National Invention Contests and Exhibits 2014 at the SMX Convention Center at the Mall of Asia in Pasay City.

For three days, the CapSU team showcased the award-winning ethnobotanical dewormers originally produced for native chickens, an innovative technology tagged along with the nation's finest technologies and innovations. NICE 2014 brought all these advancements in science and technology as part of this year's celebration of the National Science and Technology Week (NSTW).
