Truly Pinoy inventions

This could be the start of something big...and healthy.A Filipino-made beer with Vitamin B took center stage during the gathering of members of the International Federation of Inventors' Association in Bangkok, Thailand, recently.Some of the inventions showcased by inventors from all over the world included chopsticks that double as a toothbrush and a hi-tech sandwich filling spreader.The crowd, however, made a bee-line to the beer concocted by Filipino inventor Billy Malang.Unlike ordinary beer, Malang's beer has Vitamin B."All clear beers have no vitamins. It just contains alcohol, which is converted to sugar which gives you a big tummy, called the beer belly. So I brought back the Vitamin B to make beer a healthier habit," said Malang.Malang was among inventors from 27 countries who featured more than new 150 inventions in the gathering.
