According to Padilla-Concepcion (2015), in response to the ASEAN 2015 Agenda,
the government, particularly the Department of Science and Technology (DOST),
has sought the expertise of the National Research Council of the Philippines to
consult various sectors in the society to study how the Philippines can prepare itself
in meeting the ASEAN 2015 Goals. As a result of the consultation, the NCRP is
expected to recommend policies and programs that will improve the
competitiveness of the Philippines in the ASEAN Region

18. In the field of education, several science related programs
and projects were created to develop the scientific literacy
of the country.
Special science classes were organized and special science
elementary schools were established in different regions.
Aside from these, science, and mathematics in basic
education were continuously improved.

19. The Philippine-California Advanced Research Institutes (PCARI) Project is a new
approach to enhance the skills and expertise of faculty and staff of Philippine
universities and colleges, through scholarships, training, and research partnerships with
top-notch research universities in California, USA, in the priority areas of information
infrastructure development (IID) and health innovation and translational medicine (HITM).
Philippine-California Advanced Research Institutes (PCARI)

20. OUTSTANDING FEATURES OF THE PCARI PROJECT
• Involves scholarship, training and research;
• Focuses on two fields: information infrastructure development (IID) and health
innovation and translational medicine (HITM);
• Provides opportunities for direct collaboration between Philippine faculty-
researchers and UC-based experts in order to build research capabilities and
infrastructure in Philippine universities and colleges;
• Attracts the best and the brightest with full support for research, which
includes modern equipment, attendance in conferences and state-of-the-art
laboratories; and
• Addresses important problems of society using the best technologies, including
the development of technologies close to commercialization.

21. BENEFITS OF THE PCARI PROJECT
Jobs in new competitive high-value-added industries and related
support services in information infrastructure in support of disaster
risk management and response, energy generation monitoring, e-
governance, water resources management, monitoring of civil
infrastructures, among others
Affordable and efficient diagnostic kits, medical devices and
inexpensive drugs and the creation of jobs to produce such to
improve the diagnosis and treatment of the ten highest causes of
mortality and morbidity in the Philippines, such as dengue, asthma,
diabetes, tuberculosis

22. BENEFITS OF THE PCARI PROJECT
Improved research management skills especially in research
grants administration and international linkages
World-class research institutes with state-of-the-art facilities
for Information Infrastructure Development and Health
Innovation and Translational Medicine

"Republic Act of 2067"

24. In the Philippines, the development of Science and Technology
has for some time been included in Republic Act No. 2067 also
called the "Science Act of 1958". This was established to
incorporate, coordinate, and intensify Scientific and
Technological research and development and to foster
invention including allocation of funds and different purposes.

25. The development of science and technology became official state
policy after RA 2067 or the "Science Act of 1958" was established. It
illustrated provisions that were like those of the act that came
preceded it, which required the creation of the National Science
Development Board.
Moreover, the DOST has been putting efforts to ingrain certainty
and trust in public awareness. The truth will surface eventually if the
state will keep on receiving the rewards of its investment in the
public pursuits in the sciences.

26. Science and technology policy is one of the
public policies that elevate appropriate
financing to progress scientific and
technological research and education, study
the effect of science and technology upon
its populace, and prescribes guidelines, if
essential.
From the beginning of time, Indigenous peoples
have been liable for the development of
numerous technologies and have significantly
added to science. Science is the quest for
knowledge. Both Western and Indigenous
science approaches and viewpoints have their
strengths and can significantly complement
each other.
Technology has deeply influenced the
worldwide economy and its use has been
connected to marketplace transformation,
improved living standards, and more robust
international trade. Technological advances
have fundamentally developed operations
and brought down the expense of working
together.
The significant contributions of science and
technology to Philippine country building are
connected to its financial-economic progress
and its industrialization. Today, the present
state of our country is very low in its ability to
deliver local goods for domestic necessities
just as in global scientific research
distributions.

27. The vast improvements made in the field of medicine
have served to lengthen our life expectancy and to
reduce the rate of infant mortality.
The discovery of mechanization, better seeds, better
techniques of irrigation and pest control, has worked to
increase productivity levels on farms.
In transportation, railway, modern ocean liner, jet plane,
and motor vehicle have made our lives more comfortable
and provided great possibilities for modern commercial
development and industrialization.
The advantages of science and technology

28. The invention of the computer has assisted the process of
calculation in laboratories
Technology has made communication much simpler in
recent times.
Science has brought about groundbreaking solutions to
numerous deadly diseases.
Man is able to explore the space extensively because of
the wide-scale development in technology.
Modern hygiene, sanitation, medicine and surgery are
conquering more and more physical and mental ills day by
day. We now know and experience the joys of good
health and longevity.
The advantages of science and technology

29. 1. It can be easily handled by irresponsible people.
2. We will be too dependent on that. When technology fails,
we are helpless
3. Invasion of our private life.
4. Rising rate of cyber criminality, hacking, theft of personal
information and pornography websites.
5. Economies lagging behind in the integration of new
technologies are seen as poor economies and their progress
in the world is hampered.
6. Science has been responsible for pollution and given us the
nuclear bomb that threatens our very existence.
The disadvantages of science and technology

30. Machines have led to unemployment.
They have polluted water and atmosphere. They have
caused noise pollution.
Factories have led to slums where human beings live in
squalor.
Machines make us mechanical, deaden our sensibilities,
stifle our creative talents, force mechanical regularity,
uniformity and boredom upon us, increase our wants and
desires, and tend to make us selfish, greedy and cruel.
Geographical distance has, no doubt, vanished, but the
gulf between the minds and hearts of man has widened.
The disadvantages of science and technology

31. Today, technology is very important because it is
used for almost everything and like everything,
technology has advantages and disadvantages.We
are in danger of destroying ourselves with these
monstrous means which, ironically, are our own
creations. Rightly used science can bring heaven on
earth. Wrongly used, it can turn this earth into hell by
destroying civilization
