Science, Technology , and Society Module 2 - 2.2 ROLE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY IN NATION BUILDING 2. 2 PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT POLICIES ON SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Overview In the Philippines, scientific and technological advancements have already made significant progress. Filipinos have made numerous important discoveries and inventions, many of which are credited to them. History of Science and Technology from Pre- Colonial Period to Post-Colonial Period Relevance of Philippine Government Policies on Science and Technology Pre-Colonial Period (900-1521) Simple tools or weapons of stone flakes In 3,000 B.C, they were producing adzes ornaments of seashells and pottery of various designs. Developed techniques for sawing, drilling and polishing hard stones. 2,000 B.C - 10th century A.D, they learned to make metal tools and implements Karakoa/Caracoa Boat Traditional Herbal Practices Pre-Colonial Period (900-1521) Systems of farming and animal raising were also implemented.

Resulting to socio- Large infrastructures were built using the engineering economic and skills and tools brought by the Spaniards. political changes Manila is already using modern artillery Higher education was provided by schools set up by the different religious orders in the urban centers Physics, Chemistry, Natural history, and Mathematics Colonial Period (1521-1946) American Colonial (1898–1946) Established a government agency - Bureau of Science Philippine Commission provided for as many scholarships. There was no definite government policy on private schools. Introduced a system of secularized public school education as soon as the civil government was set up in the islands Introduced sports - Basketball Colonial Period (1521-1946) Commonwealth - Japanese Period (1941–1946) Continued to expand its public school system to accommodate the increasing number of school Increase in trained scientists and engineers in the Philippines before the Second World War Economic reconstruction Normalization of operations as well as the task of planning the direction of economic development. Created the Ministry of Education. Post-Colonial Period (1946-Present) Continued to pursue programs in science and technology. The number of state universities and colleges has been increasing since 1946. The rise of professional organizations of scientists and engineers followed closely the growth of higher education in the Philippines. The expanding number of science agencies has given rise to a demand for high caliber scientists and engineers to undertake research and staff universities and colleges.  Philippine Government Policies on Science and Technology National Research Council of Philippine-California 01 the Philippines (NRCP) 04 Advanced Research Institutes (PCARI) Department of Science and Commission on Higher 02 Technology (DOST) 05 Education (CHED) Philippine-American Academy DepEd 03 of Science and Engineering 06 K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum (PAASE) Philippine Government Policies on Science and Technology 01 National Research Council of the Philippines (NRCP) Goals Prepare the whole country and its people to meet the demands of a technologically driven world Capacitate the people to live in a world driven by science. ➥ Promotion of research work along scientific line ➥ Promotes and supports fundamental or basic research for the continuing total improvement of the research capability of individual scientists or group of scientists Philippine Government Policies on Science and Technology 01 National Research Council of the Philippines (NRCP) Projects ➥ Citing projects like the Greening Mined-Out Area in (Marinduque, Philippines (GMAP) [Mar 7, 2024] ➥ Lagundi Medicine ➥ Water Security (TUBIG Program) in Cordillera [NRCP-DOST] Philippine Government Policies on Science and Technology 01 National Research Council of the Philippines (NCRP) Philippine Government Policies on Science and Technology 02 Department of Science and Technology (DOST) Goals Powering Communities and Addressing Societal Challenge To direct, lead, and coordinate the country's scientific and technological efforts geared towards maximum economic and social benefits for the people. ➥ Providing funds for basic research and patents related to science and technology ➥ Providing scholarships for undergraduate and graduate studies of students in the field of science and technology Philippine Government Policies on Science and Technology 02 Department of Science and Technology (DOST) Projects ➥ HOCLOMAC: Low-Cost On-Site Hypochlorous Acid Generator for Sanitation and Disinfection ➥ E-Steth: An innovative locally-produced electronic stethoscope ➥ SERPENTINA CAPSULES: Standardized herbal supplement with antioxidant/ anti-inflammatory health benefits Philippine Government Policies on Science and Technology 02 Department of Science and Technology (DOST) The Council does not only support the generation of health technologies but also caters to the protection, management, and utilization of these innovations.
