She added that at least six companies in the Philippines venture into nanotechnology.<\/p>\n<p>However, she admitted that nanotechnology can be quite difficult to be adopted instantly to the public, since more research and application must be done. <strong>(ICE)<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Disclaimer<\/p>\n<p>SunStar website welcomes friendly debate, but comments posted on this site do not<br \/>\n            necessarily reflect the views of the SunStar management and its affiliates.
