2. • The Philippine Development Plan (PDP) 2017-2040 includes S&T related
enabling mechanism toward achieving strong pillars for development
• Considering several fundamental weaknesses in terms of S&T competitiveness.
• The PDP 2017-2040 emphasizes strategies that shall be pursued to help raise
the S&T related pillars of the country.
3. In the 1990s, research utilization was given
stronger emphasis
NSTA- National Science and Technology Authority.
PCHRD- Philippine Council for Health Research and Development.
PCIERD- Philippine Council for Industry and Energy Research.
PCARRD- Philippine Concil for Agriculture, Forestry and Natural Resources
Research and Development.
NRCP- National Research Council of the Philippines.
4. The creation of the councils and research institute under the NSTA
showed a clear shift in science policy from one of a technology push to a
demand-pull strategy. After the EDSA revolution in 1996. the NSTA was
organized into what is now called the Department of Science and
Technology (DOST), by virtue of executive order 128.
5. For a more effective delivery of certain functions, the DOST was
further restructured, resulting in the establishement of the:
o TAPI- Technology Application and Promotion Institute
o SEI- Science Education Institute
o STII- Science and Technology Information Institute
o The National Institute of Science and Technology was recognized into the
present Industrial Developmet Institute
6. S&T Services were also provided to supplement R&D
and Technology transfer:
Upgrading of Testing
Standardization and Quality Control Services
Various forms of Technical assistance and consulting services
7. To facilitate the transfer of foreign technology, science
parks were set up.
a) Serve as vehicles for university interaction with private
industry;
b) Develop new knowledge based-industries and strengthen
existing ones; and
c) Provide a propitious environment for innovation nd contract
research.
8. In 1998 a presidential task force on S&T was formed to deal with
the overall problems confronting R&D and S&T development in
the country, and to formulate an S&T development plan that
would support the national development goal of attaining a newly
industrialized country status by the year 2000.
9. During the Ramos Administration, the DOST initiated a Science and
Technology Agenda for National Development (STAND Philippines
2000), which embodied the country’s technology development plan
in the medium term, in particular for the period 1993-1998.
