At that time, the Philippines aimed to be a Newly Industrialized County (NIC) President Fidel V. Ramos introduced laws on inventors incentives and science and technology. scholarships while President Gloria Macapagal Arroy adopted policies focusing on a national innovation system and promoted technologica entrepreneurship under the Medium-Term Development Plan 2004-2010. ## Government Policies and laws Pertaining to Science Technology * R.A 2067 "Science Act of 1958" An Act To Integrate, Coordinate and Intensify Scientific and Technological Research and Development and To Foster Invention To Provide Funds Therefore and for Other Purposes * R.A. 5207 An Act Providing for the Licensing and Regulation of Atomic Energy and Materials, Establishing the Rules of Liability for Nuclear Damage and for Other Purposes. * R.A. 3589 An Act Amending RA 2067 Modifying the National Science Development Board, National Institute of Science and Technology, and the Philippine Atomic Energy Commission, Extending Tax Exemption, Privileges and Grants, Requests and Donations for Scientific Purposes to Private Educational Institutions and For Other Purposes enacted June 22, 1963. * Presidential Decree No. 334, s. 1973 created the Philippine National Oil Company to promote industrial and economic development through effective and efficient use of energy resources. * Presidential Decree No. 49, s. 1972 established the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services (PAGASA).

(12) electronics, (13) instrumentation and control, (14) emerging technologies, (15) pharmaceuticals. To attain the objectives set in the STMP the following strategies were pursued modernize the production sectors through massive technology transfer from domestic and foreign sources, upgrade the R & D capability through intensified activities in high priority sector and S&T infrastructure development such as manpower development, and develop information networks, institutional building and S&T culture development ## Science and Technology Agenda for National Development (Stand Philippines 2000) Period 1993-1998 The STAND identified seven export winners, 11 domestic needs, three other supporting industries, and coconut industry as priority investment area. The seven identified export winners were computer software, fashion accessories, gifts, toys, and houseware, marine products; metal fabrications; furniture; and dried fruits. The domestic needs included food, housing, health, clothing, transportation, communication, disaster mitigation, defense, environment, manpower development and energy. Were included in the list of priority sectors, namely: Packaging, chemicals, and metals. Lastly, because of its strategic importance, the coconut industry was included in the list. ## National Science and Technology Plan (NSTP 2002-2020). By 2004, S&T shall have contributed significantly to the enhancement of national productivity and competitiveness and to the solution of pressing problems. By 2010, the Philippines shall have earned niches and become a world class knowledge provider and user in selected science and technology areas, and shall have developed a vibrant S&T culture. By 2020, the Philippines shall have developed a wide range of globally competitive products and services which have a high technological content. The 12 priority areas for S&T development are: a) Agriculture, forestry & natural resources; b) Health and medical services; c) Biotechnology; d) Information and Communication Technology e) Microelectronics; f) Materials, science and engineering: g) Earth and marine services; h) Fisheries and aquaculture; 1) Environment; j) Natural disaster mitigation; k) Energy; and l) Manufacturing and service engineering. ## Status of Science and Technology and Plans for Development under President Rodrigo Roa-Duterte In the 10-point economic agenda, the promotion of science, technology and creative arts was Included to enhance innovation and creative capacity towards self-sustaining inclusive development. DOST Secretary Fortunato de la Pena identified the focus of the Department as technology transfer and commercialization thus ten percent of its overall budget was allocated for technology transfer. This resulted to generation of 1000 new intellectual properties that can be adopted in just one year. Major accomplishments of the Duterte administration are: • Entry into the frontiers of space through its support to the Philippine Space Technology Program. DIWATA-1 satellites which was launched in 2016 was made by Filipino scientists who were trained in Japan. The DIWATA-2 which will be launched in 2018 has improved the capabilities to better monitor the country. A Memorandum of Agreement between Russia and the Philippines regarding the space program will soon materialize. Republic Act 11035 "An Act Institutionalizing the Balik Scientist Program was signed into law by the President on June, 2018. This law would give more incentives to returning Filipino experts, scientists, inventors, and engineers who would share their expertise in the country. On telecommunication, Department of Information and Communication Technology. National Telecommunication Commission and telecommunication companies have agreed to standardize voice call charges to P2.50. On weather, 271 new weather stations were installed by the Department of Science and Technology throughout the country. The Zamboanga Doppler Weather Radar System was also installed. # THANK YOU!
