TACLOBAN CITY (Ramil Uy, DOST) – It seems like Region 8's State Colleges and Universities (SUCs) joined the bandwagon of institutions confronting the deadly kiss of COVID-19. These universities have their own ways to be a significant part of the increasing fighters against the invisible enemies; some done relief operations, production of sanitizers and distributed it to front liners, face masks, plastic face shields, etc. But Eastern Visayas State University (EVSU) in Tacloban City, through the leadership of President Dominador O. Aguirre, Jr., came up with ExCITE Drink. Using the DOST 8 - EVSU Eastern Visayas Food Innovation Center (EV-FIC), a group of the university's Food Technologists developed a drink that will boost human energy they called ExCITE Drink.
