University of Santo Tomas innovative approaches on farming www.rappler.com medicine and biology were given focused focused on engineering: construction of buildings, churches, bridges, roads and forts trade was prioritized due to possible bigger profits Religion was taught thefirst.website Discussion the former Laboratorio Municipal was replaced by the Bureau of Government Laboratories under the Department of Interior The Bureau was established for the purpose of studying tropical diseases and other related research projects In 1905, the Bureau was changed to the Bureau of Science, which became Bureau of Science the main research center of the www.pinterest.com Philippines In 1933, the National Research Council of the Philippines was established focused on agriculture, medicine and Medicine pharmacy, food processing and forestry histclo.com In 1946 the Bureau of Science was substituted by the Institute of Science Discussion President Ferdinand Marcos mandated Department of Education to do a promotion of science courses in public high schools budget for research projects in applied sciences and science education fund for private universities and colleges for the creation of courses related to S&T Department of Science and and to promote research Technology (DOST) 35-hectare lot in Bicutan, Taguig, Rizal commons.wikimedia.org was proclaimed in 1968 as the Philippine Science Community (now DOST site) Seminars, workshops, training programs and scholarships on fisheries and oceanography were sponsored by the government Discussion Philippine Coconut Research, Philippine Textile Research Institute, Philippine Atomic Energy Commission, National Grains Authority, Philippine Council for Agricultural Research, PAGASA, Philippine National Oil Company, Plant Breeding Institute, International Rice Research Institute, Bureau of Plant Industry, Bureau of Forest Products, Research on coconut National Committee on Geological agriculture.com.ph Sciences, National Science Development Board, and National Science and Technology Authority National Academy of Science and Technology (NAST) Mindanao and Visayas campuses of the Philippine Science High School were NAST built and operated. nast.ph Discussion In 1986, President Corazon Aquino replaced the National Science and Technology Authority to the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) for S&T to be represented in the cabinet S&T to have part on sustainable economic recovery and growth created S&T Master Plan aimed to update the production sector, improve research activities, and develop infrastructure used for S&T. The R&D Plan determined research areas of priority based on local Former Pres. Corazon C. Aquino materials, likelihood of success, philnews.ph potential of product to be exported, and its tactical nature. Discussion In 1998, during the presidency of Fidel V. Ramos, the Philippines had approximately 3,000 competent scientists and engineers. The "Doctors to the Barrio Program” brought an improvement of life expectancy from 67.5 years to 69.1 years between 1992 to 1995. Incentives were given to people who played significant role in S&T. National Program for Gifted Filipino Children in S&T Republic Act (RA) No. 8439: Magna Carta for S&T Personnel; RA No. 7687: S&T en.wikipedia.org Scholarship Law of 1994; RA No. 7459: Inventors and Inventions Incentives Act; and RA No. 8293: The Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines. Discussion RA No. 8749: The Philippine Clean Air Act of 1999 and RA No. 8792: Electronic Commerce Act of 2000 were both signed and mandated during the term of President Joseph E.

Modernization of the He also laid down a 15-year Philippine Armed modernization program of Forces by Pres. the Armed Forces of the Joseph E. Estrada Philippines. pt.wikipedia.org Discussion During the administration of Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, Science, Technology and Innovations (STI) was developed to strengthen the educational system and to help the poor. "Filipinnovation" was coined that aimed to make the Philippines an innovation hub in Asia. RA No. 9367: "Biofuels" Act to utilize indigenous materials as source of energy while having cleaner emissions use drought-free rice, rice that can "Filipinnovation" withstand environmental hazards koronadalcitynews.blogspot.com RA No. 10601: Agriculture and Fisheries Sector through Mechanization (AFMech) was also passed that aimed to modernize agricultural and fisheries machinery and equipment Discussion In 2014, President Benigno Aquino, Jr. conferred new National Scientists: Gavino C. Trono, who studied seaweed species Angel C. Alcala, who pioneered Gavino C. Trono Angel C. Alcala on coral reefs archimedesheatray.blogspot.com en.wikipedia.org Ramon C. Barba, who changed the seasonal supply of mangoes Edgardo D. Gomez, who spearheaded the assessment of damaged coral reefs and their conservation Ramon C. Barba Edgardo D. Gomez en.wikipedia.org ovpaa.up.edu.ph Discussion President Rodrigo R. Duterte: S&T budget for R&D grew by nearly six times over the same period of time Formulation of programs and policies that will aid in shaping the country “Science for the People” DOST to help transfer technology and to put R&D results into commercialization gaining 1,000 new intellectual properties in only a year Philippine Space Technology Program Philippine 1st satellite: Diwata-1 launching Diwata-2 in 2018, after the news.abs-cbn.com launching of Diwata-1 that put our flag in space. S&T on agriculture and disaster preparedness Discussion Philippine S&T effects on society and the physical environment and vice versa S&T has numerous positive contributions to society and the physical environment. Agriculture being the number one source of our food needs to be mechanized so as to cope with the rapidly and exponentially growing population. Water pumps and sprinkler cope with the damaging heat cause by the changing climate and weather. S&T has also made it possible to produce genetically modified crops, which grow faster and are more resistant to pests and diseases. Fertilizers needed by the crops to increase nutrients in the soil, enhance the growth of the crops and produce high- quality yields are developed thru S&T. S&T has improved transportation by road, by air, by water and even by space for the benefits of society for comforts and business for profit. S&T has made communication even better to transfer information or voice out their concerns or reach each other or to grow and improve customer services among societies and among institutions thru radios, televisions, internet, and social media. S&T has enhanced the learning process and eventually good quality education can help boost our economy. Learning management systems have been used in education nowadays like computers, mobile phones, tablets, projectors, and internet. Visual learning and on line learning have become popular for even difficult subjects like mathematics, physics, biology, geography, economics and others. No matter how numerous positive impacts S&T has given individuals like us and the society as a whole, there will always be accompanying adverse impacts it brings to us. One is resource depletion. The increasing number of new and advanced technologies brings about higher depletion of earth’s natural resources, plus increasing wastes generated and emitted as these technologies are manufactured, and eventually when the products are disposed. S&T has also increased our population. Advanced birth control methods may help balance population and the resources but only in developed countries. In developing countries, there is no control on birth rate, mortality rate is high, resources like food are scarce and health and sanitation are also poor. The behavior of society also affect the growth of S&T and eventually may either increase or decrease the S&T impacts to us in return. In order to contribute to the development of the Philippines, Filipinos must attain certain level of scientific literacy since science is linked to technology and industrialization. Filipinos are having difficulty attaining this literacy due to lack of science culture, deficiencies or congested curriculum, poor teaching learning process, lack of instructional materials and teacher training, lack of textbooks, and lack of laboratories. The introduction of K to 12, a 12-year program for learning under basic education and is accepted globally, may help bridge the gap. Government has continuously prioritize education in their national budget. Issues and concerns about S&T focus on lack of funding in research and development (R&D), lack trained and skilled R&D manpower, institutional gaps, and lack and failure or policies and regulations. Projects most of the time have no focus due to differences in interests of the proponents and funding institutions. Unlike in other countries, there is no mechanism for possible collaboration with industries. Individuals who are member of the society, the government and the private sectors thus, need to continuously look for the public good.

In developing countries, there is no control on birth rate, mortality rate is high, resources like food are scarce and health and sanitation are also poor. Poor sanitation www.wpro.who.int Filipino philosophical point of views Gripaldo (2007) believed that Philosophy needs: clarification of meaning for intrinsic good application so as to get its extrinsic good or the introduction of a concrete solution to an identified problem coincides with Aristotelian fashion, both epistemic (basic concepts of natural sciences) and phronetic (aspects of philosophy). S&T is a means to address public good benefiting both individually and socially the largest number of the local or national population consideration of individual interests build unity and subsidiarity, which is working together for the common good government must exercise utilitarian perspective that a development project or a government service like education, public health, transportations, infrastructure, military defense and other social services must promote common welfare of the population Filipino philosophical point of views The idea of the public good must be balanced between its ideal (economic) logic and its practical (ethical) logic. applying the Aristotelian concept that is an individual seeks not only his personal needs or wants but also those of others in order to survive The government should be on top of ensuring public good with rational perspective. Private groups or civil societies may pursue a public good through their own initiative even if the government cannot support them financially so as to promote welfare of everybody, be it on community, institutional, or national level. Filipino philosophical point of views Filipinos must attain certain level of scientific literacy since science is linked to technology and industrialization Filipinos are having difficulty attaining this literacy due to: lack of science culture, deficiencies or congested curriculum, poor teaching learning process, lack of instructional materials and teacher training, lack of textbooks, and lack of laboratories The introduction of K to 12 may help bridge the gap.
