Several advancements in UAV technology have been developed over the course of the past decade and more and more countries are seeking to integrate this technology as well as developing more applications into their businesses and institutions. In the Philippines, however, the drone market is still quite new in the market yet has for a while been making its way to more interested companies and services. Investors are seeking novel improvements and advancements in the drone sector and the opportunity for growth is still large. 

In 2014, the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines or the CAAP had enforced a memorandum circular on the operation of unmanned aerial vehicles for commercial uses, as recreational use of drones are also permitted in the Philippines. This is in consideration of all other requirements such as licenses, certifications, and operating guidelines and zone restrictions. All unmanned aircraft systems are also regulated by the CAAP.

X-Lipad Project aims to utilize UAV technology for educational purposes, encouraging more students to take an interest in a more specific discipline in the STEM field, or simply providing another means to gauge the interest of more educators, researchers, and enthusiasts. Investing more money, time, and people in this technology may project bigger improvements to the Philippine community, considering how many applications and services this technology has yet to bring.
