Lesson discuss the role of science and technology in

Philippine nation- building;

Objectives evaluate government policies pertaining to

science and technology in terms of their
contributions tp nation- building; and

identify actual science and technology policies

of the government and appraise their impact
on the development of the Filipino nation.
What is the Science, Technology
and Nation Building?
 Metal age
also had a significant influence on the lives of
early Filipinos
 Galleon trade
has brought additional technology and
development in the Philippines.
 Americanize
the Americans did everything to "Americanize"
the Philippines.
 Researches were done to control malaria,
cholera, and tuberculosis and other tropical
diseases.

Government Policies on Science
and Technology
 The Philippine government introduced and
implemented several programs, projects, and policies
to boost the area of science and technology.
The NCRP clustered these policies into four, namely:

1. Social Sciences, Humanities,

Education, International Policies and
Governance.
2. Physics, Engineering, and Industrial
Research, Earth and Space Sciences,
and Mathematics.
3. Medical, Chemical and
Pharmaceutical Sciences.
4. Biological Sciences, Agriculture, and
Forestry.
 There are also other existing programs
supported by the Philippine government throuh
the DOST. Some of these projects are the
following:
Providing funds for the basic research and
patents related to science and technology.
Providing scholarships for undergraduate and
graduate studies of students in the field of
science and technology.
Establish more branches of the Philippines
Science High School System
Balik Scientist Program
 The Philippine-American Academy of
Science and Engineering (PAASE, 2008)

-Establishment of regional centers to support specific industries that

will lead the country in different research and development areas

-Strengthen science education at an early stage through the Philippine

Science High School system
 K to 12 education program included
Science, Technology. Engineering, and
Mathematics (STEM) as one of its major
tracks in the senior high school program
to encourage more students to enroll in
science-related fields in college.
 There are many other areas and fields that the country is looking
forward to embark various research and projects. The following are
some of them:

1. Use of alternative and safe energy

2. Harnessing mineral resources

3.Finding cure for various diseases and illness

4. Climate change and global warming

 5. Increasing food production

6. Preservation of natural resources

7.Coping with natural disasters and calamities

8. Infrastructure development
 These laws vary according to different themes such as:
conservation, health-related, technology-building, and supporting basic
research, among others.

Some laws and policies are in line with international treaties such as:
The United Nations (UN)
United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization
(UNESCO)
Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and other international
agencies.
