The Philippines may soon have the technology remove oil spills, such as that off Oriental Mindoro in February, with the “CocoFlexSorb” that was developed at Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology .

It is hydrophobic in both fresh and salt water and has superior reusability as its oil sorption capacity does not diminish with use.
