By about 3,000 It became well B.C., they were developed and producing adzes flourished for ornaments of about 2,000 years seashells and and it came into pottery of various competition with designs. imported Chinese porcelain. IRON AGE The early Filipinos learned to make metal tools and implements—copper, gold, bronze and later iron. Considered to have lasted from the second or third century B.C. to the tenth century A.D. William Henry Scott in Pre hispanic Source Materials for the Study of Philippine History (Rev. ed.; Quezon City: New Day Publishers, 1984), points out questionable documents which have been the basis for information about this period and which were popularized in Philippines History textbooks, that Filipinos during this period engaged in the actual extraction of iron from ore, smelting and refining. But it appears that the iron industry, like the manufacture of pottery, did not survive the competition with imported cast iron from Sarawak and much later, from China. They learn to weave cotton, make glass ornaments, and cultivate lowland rice and dike fields of terraced fields utilizing spring water in mountain regions.  DAVAO CENTRAL COLLEGE, INC. Juan dela Cruz Street, Toril, Davao City Landline No. (082) 291 1882 Accredited by ACSCU-ACI They also learned to build boats for trading purposes. Spanish chronicles noted refined plank-built warships called caracoa suited for interisland trade raids. 10TH CENTURY A.D. Filipinos from the Butuan were trading with Champa (Vietnam) and those from Ma-I (Mindoro) with China as noted in Chinese records containing several references to the Philippines. These archaeological findings indicated that regular trade relations between the Philippines, China and Vietnam had been well established from the 10th century to the 15th century A.D. TRADING The People of Ma-I and San-Hsu (Palawan) traded bee wax, cotton, pearls, coconut heart mats, tortoise shell and medicinal betel nuts, panie cloth for porcelain, leads fishnets sinker, colored glass beads, iron pots, iron needles and tin. PRE-SPANISH PERIOD Filipinos were already engaged in activities and practices related to science forming primitive or first wave technology. They were curative values of some plant on how to extract medicine from herbs. They had an alphabet, a system of writing, a method of counting and weights and measure. They had no calendar but counted the years by the period of the moon and from one harvest to another.  DAVAO CENTRAL COLLEGE, INC.

Juan dela Cruz Street, Toril, Davao City Landline No. (082) 291 1882 Accredited by ACSCU-ACI The Real Sociedad Economica de los Amigos Del Pais de Filipinas founded by Governador Jose Basco y Vargas in 1780 encouraged research in agriculture and industry. The society promoted cultivation of indigo, cotton, cinnamon, and silk industry. In 1789 Manila was opened to Asian shipping, inaugurating an era of increase in export of rice, hemp, tobacco, sugar, and indigo, and imports of manufacturing goods. The 19th Century In 1863 the colonial authorities issued a royal degree to reform the existing educational system.

The expanded world trade and commerce in the later part of the 19th century led to the rapid development of Manila as cosmopolitan center. Modern amenities such as steam tramways, waterworks, newspaper, electric lights, banking system were introduce in 19th century. Jesuits promoted meteorological studies founding Manila observatory at the Ateneo Municipal de Manila in 1865. AMERICAN COLONIAL PERIOD Americans established he public education system. Improved he engineering works and he health conditions of the people. Americans established a modern research university (University of the Philippines) the mineral resources of the country were also explored and exploited. Transportation and communication systems were improved. Science education focuses on nature studies and science and sanitation until I became a subject formally known as “science”. He teaching of science in higher education has greatly improved and modernized. Researchers were done to control malaria, cholera, and Week 5tuberculosis and other tropical disease. Topic: Government policies/Laws/A.O. on Science and Technology 1. Philippine Science and Technology Plan (2017-2022): This plan outlines the government's strategy for the development and promotion of science and technology in the Philippines. It focuses on various areas, including research and development, technology transfer, innovation, and capacity building. 2. Science for Change Program: This program aims to enhance the country's capacity for science, technology, and innovation. It includes initiatives to support research and development,  DAVAO CENTRAL COLLEGE, INC.

Balik Scientist Program: This program encourages Filipino scientists and technologists abroad to return to the Philippines temporarily to share their expertise and contribute to the country's scientific and technological development. It provides incentives and support to returning scientists. 7. Department of Science and Technology (DOST): The DOST is the primary government agency responsible for the implementation of science and technology-related programs and initiatives in the Philippines. It plays a central role in shaping policies and promoting research and innovation. 8.
