Photo from PUP, Polytechnic University of the Philippines has made a local version of ethyl alcohol in a bid to protect students and teachers from the disease.
Larger batches will be manufactured once raw materials to be used for the mass production of the alcohol become available, according to PUP. The university is set to manufacture and distribute the free ethyl alcohol to the PUP community by the end of March. They explained that the decision to manufacture local alcohol was brought up to save the university at least 70% of the total expenses compared to buying commercially made alcohol.
