The Philippine government, as early as 1980s, prioritized the initiatives on promoting the role of S&T in the national development. The declarations in the 1987 constitution, Article XIV acknowledges the significant role of Science and Technology. Science and Technology in Philippine Nation Building Section 10. Science and technology are essential for the state and that the State shall provide priority to research and development (R&D), invention, innovation and their utilization and to support indigenous, appropriate, and self-reliant scientific and technological capabilities. Science and Technology in Philippine Nation Building SECTION 11. The Congress may provide for incentives, including tax deductions, to encourage private participation in programs of basic and applied scientific research. Scholarships, grants- in-aid, or other forms of incentives shall be provided to deserving science students, researchers, scientists, inventors, technologists, and specially gifted citizens. Science and Technology in Philippine Nation Building SECTION 12. The State shall regulate the transfer and promote the adaptation of technology from all sources for the national benefit. It shall encourage the widest participation of private groups, local governments, and community-based organizations in the generation and utilization of science and technology. Science and Technology in Philippine Nation Building SECTION 13. The State shall protect and secure the exclusive rights of scientists, inventors, artists, and other gifted citizens to their intellectual property and creations, particularly when beneficial to the people, for such period as may be provided by law.  The DOST prepared the Harmonized National R&D Agenda (HNRDA) 2017-2022 to ensure that results of S&T endeavors are geared towards and are utilized in areas of maximum economic and social benefit for the The National Scientists Dr. Angel C.

Marino C. Martinez. It is a fuel saver and power booster engine device which can be practically used on all types of internal combustion engines like engines of Jeeps, Cars, Trucks, Ships and Motorcycles and even Gas Fired Power Plants. Aside from its economic cost, it also supports the implementation of Philippine Clean Air Act of 1999. Agencies like DENR-EMB, DOST – PICIERD, ITDI, LTO certified its effectiveness in reducing pollution by as much as 82%, fuel saving by as much as 32% and increase horse power and torque by as much as 7.95%.

It is an environment-friendly lamp that runs with just two table spoons of salt and one glass of tap water. This invention made it possible for those who live in coastal areas and remote barrios to have light source. As explained by Mijeno, the lamp is made of improved chemical compounds, catalysts, and metal alloys that generates electricity when submerged in Selected Filipino Inventions SALAMANDER Amphibious Tricycle was featured in Top Gear.com.ph in the year 2015. Atoy Llave , who’s engaged in car customization and who desired to address the problems of many commuters in a flood-prone country, invented this tricycle. It can travel both on land and in water. The Salamander has two powerplant choices: one electric and one internal-combustion. Boasting a six-person seating capacity (four in water), the amphibious tricycle is powered by either a 5kW electric engine or a 250cc gasoline motor. He made this in partnership with a new company called H2O Technologies, developing it
