AMBISYON NATIN 2040

¡ On October 11, 2016, President Rodrigo R. Duterte signed Executive Order No. 5,
s. 2016 approving and adopting the 25- year long-term vision entitled AmBisyon
Natin 2040 as a guide for development planning. According to EO 5, the
Philippine Development Plan 2017-2022 (PDP 2017- 2022) and the succeeding
PDPs until 2040 shall be anchored on AmBisyon Natin 2040.
AMBISYON NATIN 2040

¡ AmBisyon Natin 2040 is the result of a long-term visioning process that began
under the previous administration in 2015. More than 300 citizens participated in
focus group discussions (FGDs) and close to 10,000 responded to the national
survey designed to gather information about the kind of life Filipinos want for
themselves and their children and what they hope the country would be like in
2040.
AMBISYON NATIN 2040

¡ The Filipinos’ vision for the Philippines in 2040 is a prosperous, predominantly

middleclass society where there is equality of opportunities and poverty has been
eradicated.
PHILIPPINE DEVELOPMENT PLAN

¡ The Philippine Development Plan (PDP) 2017-2022 is the first medium-term plan
anchored on the AmBisyon Natin 2040, consistent with Executive Order No. 5, s.
2016
¡ The goal of the PDP 2017-2022 is to enable Filipinos to attain a matatag,
maginhawa at panatag na buhay. It acknowledges the accomplishments of the
previous administrations, adopts the good practices, and carefully considers the
lessons gleaned from these experiences.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AGENDA OF THE PHILIPPINES
 HARMONIZED NATIONAL RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AGENDA
(2017-2022)

¡ The DOST, in consultation with government and private

research and development institutions, the academe,
industry and other concerned agencies, 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 people.
 HARMONIZED NATIONAL RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AGENDA
(2017-2022)

The HNRDA is divided into five (5) sectors, each having identified priority areas and
programs
1. National Integrated Basic Research Agenda (NIBRA)

National Integrated Basic Research Agenda (NIBRA) will prioritize fundamental research in
support of the Philippine Development Plan, the National Security Plan, and the Science
for Change Program led by the Department of Science and Technology.
In charge: NRCP
 HARMONIZED NATIONAL RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AGENDA
(2017-2022)
2. Health
Development of diagnostics for early detection and/or prediction of disease and
mortality, utilizing existing technologies and/or novel technology. Such technology
will also look at the genetic or biological markers associated with lifestyle diseases
like diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases and cancer.
In charge: PCHRD
HARMONIZED NATIONAL RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AGENDA
(2017-2022)

3. Agriculture, Aquatic, and Natural Resources (AANR)

The AANR sector supports the use of advanced and emerging technologies such
as biotechnology, genomics, bioinformatics, nanotechnology, nuclear technology,
space technology, electronics and automation, and ICT as R&D tools to find S&T
solutions to AANR problems or develop new products with significant potential
impact to the sector.
In charge: PCAARRD
HARMONIZED NATIONAL RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AGENDA
(2017-2022)

4. Industry, Energy and Emerging Technology

Industry competitiveness will focus on micro, small and medium enterprises
(MSMEs) and much effort will be provided toward countryside development. Many
R&D projects will leverage on existing resources and focus on waste utilization,
value-addition of traditional products and efficient manufacturing processes.
In charge: PCIEERD
HARMONIZED NATIONAL RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AGENDA
(2017-2022)

5. Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Adaptation (DRR CCA)

SALT (Sustainable Alternative Lightning)

Lamp is created by a Filipina scientist, Aisa Mejino.

It is an environmental-friendly lamp that runs with

just two tablespoon 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 SALT (Sustainable Alternative Lightning)
source of light
